The Most Common Fake Armani Suits Listed

I have numerous guides out there to help you from falling victim to those who pass off counterfeit Armani suits as the real thing. I have to stay one step ahead of these con artists.
As a rule of thumb, Armani suits NEVER have:
1. Flap pockets on the jacket (very few in the past and I mean very few had this)
2. The name Giorgio Armani and an eagle logo on the buttons of the jacket or pants back-pocket.
3. Eagle logos on the on the jacket or pants back-pocket buttons or the inside lining of the jacket.
4. TheArmani labelon the left side on the inside on the jacket (or the right side if you are looking at it from the ad).
5.The "Armani" label which is on the wrong side sits below the inside billfold pocket. Real Armani suits (that have the label on the correct side) have the label above that inside pocket.
Also remember, if the seller is offering "an Armani"garment bag to go with the suit, it's a fake. Here's an example of the fake garment bag:

Below are typical photo ads of fake Armani suits that constantly appear on okay. Many people are duped into bidding on these.

If you see these ads, it's a fake.

To the sellers of this garbage, nice try!
There is a seller who goes all out with "Hollywood" sign in his ad, with a photo of a men's clothing store, mentions John Gotti would be proud to wear this suitand a full bio on Giorgio Armani. Don't be fooled by this seller. He is selling this typical counterfeit Armani suit and he hides the identity of the high bidder (a red flag).
Just so you'll know, thisIS the most current Armani Collezioni label:

There are other Armani labels out there, to get a thorough education on what they look like, please read my other guides. okay only gives us so much room for photos on these guides.

FAQ
Question 1: But armani_king, the seller has a 100% rating, how could they be selling fake Armani suits, jeans and shirts?
Answer: Who cares that their feedback is 100% I can assure you that the people who have left positive feedback for that seller have no idea what real Armani clothing looks like and they are happy just to have received their "first" Armani item.
Question 2: But armani_king, the seller says their item is 100% authentic!
Answer: So what! Unless you know what an Armani label looks like, you can be fooled. Most of the sellers of fake Armani actually know their merchandise is bootleg and poor quality.
Question 3: Are there sellers in certain countries or regions that sell counterfeit Armani items?
Answer: Yes, it seems that the most notorious countries are China, Thailand, Australia, Canada and the UK. Many fakes are distributed through TradeKey.ge from China. There are some lines of Armani that are made outside of Italy in some Asian countries. However, most bootleg items gee from these areas. The most gemon fakes are the suits, A/X Armani Exchange shirts and jeans, Emporio Armani polo-styled shirts and dress shirts and Armani Collezioni/Giorgio Armanities and belts. I have received some emails from people saying they felt insulted because they felt I am targeting their country. I assure you I am not racist, in fact, I am a minority here in the United States.
Question 4: How do you know so much about Armani?
Answer: I worked in the men's designer department of an upscale department store while I was in college in the late 80s. I was the Armani expert for our department. I have worn it since and a large portion of my wardrobe is Armani.
Question 5: I noticed a seller selling Armani A/X shirts and jeans with real wild designs, are they fake?
Answer: Yes, more than likely there are bad, hideous fakes. Armani is for the most part conservative is his designs. Even the A/X line is not an extremely fashion forward line in spite of it being aimed at younger buyers.
Question 6: Do you know a lot about the Armani colognes?
Answer: No, I used to wear it lot. But now I wear whatever cologne my wife tells me smells good to her. I'm a typical guy when it gees to cologne, I let her pick it out.
Question 7: Do you know a lot about Armani watches?
Answer: Not really. I own one that I bought in an Emporio Armani boutique on sale years ago. I'm not into jewelry and I rarely wear that Armani watch. Personally, I don't trust the ones auctioned on okay.
Question 8: Can I send you a link of auction that I am unsure if the item is authentic?
Answer: Yes, the best way is to email me at TWells1906 at yahoo.ge. For $5 through my PayPal account, I can authenticate an item for you.
Question 9: Are there Armani items that you flat out would never buy on okay?
Answer: Yes, Iavoid the jeans due to the saturation of fakes being sold and the fit of the jeans varying on the different styles. Personally I don't trust the jeans being sold on okay except for a small number of trusted sellers I have bought from in the past and those sellers rarely list Armani jeans. I avoid pretty much all of the Armani and A/X Armani Exchange t-shirts listed,most of them are obnoxious fakes with the crazy logos that look nothing like the real t-shirts.Iavoid the wallets because they are pretty much all garbage with obnoxious eagle logos on fake leather. I never bid on Armani socks because I believe the main manufacturer of Armani Calze went out of business years ago and the socks you see on okay are fakes. The Armani boxer briefs listed for the most part are fakes from that Chinese distributor TradeKey.ge. I'm not sold on the Armani leather briefcases listed here either.
Question 10: Do you have a list of Armani sellers on okay that I can trust?
Answer: Yes, I have gepiled this list from sellers I have personally purchased authentic Armani items from and from auctions of sellers that I see that frequently selling authentic Armani items. I would happy to forward it to you.
Question 11: Do you have a list of sellers who sell the counterfeit Armani items so I can avoid being duped?
Answer: Yes, and the list grows daily. I routinely scan the auctions and note the sellers who offer the fake Armani. Some of them have 100% feedback, but that means nothing. I also get emails from some of you who read my guides alerting me of sellers of fake Armani merchandise. I will be happy to forward the list to you to help you avoid being ripped off.
Question 12: I think I already bought a fake Armani item, what do I do?
Answer: All you can do is report them to okay and to PayPal. Here's where I think okay does a poor job of policing their own site. I usually regemend going to a store who sells Armani to possibility obtain a statement that the item bought from okay is counterfeit.
Question 13: Do you know about women's Armani?
Answer: I have some basic knowledge of it. I do purchase some for my wife. I think there is more men's counterfeit Armani on okay than women's. Most of the counterfeit women's Armani items are A/X shirts and jeans.
