the best is if buying anything from LYN and you're unsure about authenticity, COD at the particular boutique and ask the salespeople before dealing..

if the salespeople say dunno?

well they are usually experienced, however yes there are some who may not know, even before that, do your research carefully first, learn how to differentiate between authentic and non-authentic..

when you are at the store, look at the authentic ones and try and compare them; or buy one from the retail store to gain deep knowledge on how to spot fakes, fakes nowadays are so advanced - sometimes the only way to tell authentic apart is only when you actually own one when you're familiar enough with it..

Exactly. I find it dubious to have double collar tag as mine is only single collar tag and also made in peru, which was printed on the paper tag. Anyway should any potential buyers have no 100% confidence towards his or her products, just drop your purchase intention. No one is forcing you to get it at cheaper price albeit it may be fake. With paying extra RM 139@Lacoste shop, you have a piece of mind and save yourself alot of the hassle in proving the authenticity.

guys you can zoom the logo from official website

buy from shop or above web store definitely authentic

i think his is fake as i'm a fan of lacoste and i bought all of mine from retail EXCEPT for 1 from lelong.com.my coz he's offering a low price as him. So upon receiving the shirt, by the material i know it's not authentic as it's not as thick as the real 1 and the logo is not embedded or well designed as the 1 i bought from the retail.

as the picture that xplay quoted, yes the retail will looked like the 1st pic and the 1 i bought looks exactly like the 2nd pic. u'll notice that the white linings around the croc is not as thick as the real 1 hence the 2nd pic DOES NOT embedded like the original 1.

to potential buyer, i suggest u to go to the retail lacoste store and feel their fabric and examine the lacoste logo carefully and compare with that dude's tees.
