Default Anyone know how to identify fake stone island gear?

I have seen a jacket i want but at £129 i think its to cheap, and dont like buying this sort of gear from EBAY but its a nice jacket, is there anyway of identifing fakes? I have compared itto my other stone island stuff, but i wondered if there was somewhere where i can put in the numbers on the label or summit or an easy way to identify a fake

go down bovvy market Gra.. you'll see fake there.. 30 quid Stone Island Jackets

Sorry, not much help, but its difficult to tell sometimes. SI is just that label that anyone can copy.. Cant tell the quality from a pic unfortunately

a mate of mine bought a load off EBAY, good quality, but blatently fake. I would steer clear if i were you.. you just aint gonna be able to tell by a pic, and maybe not even when its delivered.

only got a S1 cooler?? had that Pace one but gave it to Max

got 2 2wd cossise coolers, but there with Karl So nope, sorry

My car is off the raod for a while, so your more than welcome to borrow some bits off it.. not much worth borrowing tho

nice website too

We are conveniently located near the worst trafic jams I have ever seem, so if I am eer bored or suicidial I know i can always find a nice trafic jam to sit in. If Dunstable doesnt float your boat, then I am right next to the M1. (Nuff Said) quality!

and yeah Gra, deffo take you up on that offer of a blast round bedford thanks
