>What's the catching here?
Probably that you can't pull off wearing it

>>17928908
catch*

>>17928908
That the previous owner while wrapped in it ripped the most massive fart, shidding himself in the process and seeping putrid juices of unknown origin through two layers of chinese fabric to the inner layer of your latest bargain bin find. He acted quickly though, and managed to clean the stain before it could set in. Lucky you.

>What's the catch

Years ago I used to buy so much fake stuff from a guy I worked with. I only got the genuine looking items. Some were surprisingly good quality.

Ebay buying comes down to a few things
>Know your measurements and ONLY buy things with measurements listed. Some people put it in the item description, others show a rule in the pictures going pit to pit, shoulder to shoulder etc
>ONLY buy things from either fully proffessional stores or from rich boomers selling off their own personal wardrobes. You can tell the former by the hundreds/thousands of similar goods sold and good reviews/detailed descriptions, and the latter by clearly hand written (not AI generated), more personal descriptions and pics of it laying in someone's house/some history of the item.
>PRICE FEELS RIGHT - hard to know before you get really into 2nd hand shopping. There are some great finds on Ebay especially from those rich people selling off their own clothes, but in general the market dictates a price pretty clearly for a certain brand and type of clothing, if it's way under that it might be sus.
>If you want, buy from people who accept returns. This massively reduces the downside of buying without touching clothing first, if you don't like the feel or find some issue that wasn't listed, just print out the return label from ebay and post it back, it's really fast and easy to get a refund. Each listing specifies whether it accepts returns or not before you buy.
Pic related is an example of a decent, average Ebay find. Good seller, thousands of similar items sold, great description, great measurements given (pic in next post), price is right around what you'd expect.

Example of how measurements can often be shown in pics. For best results measure your own BEST FITTING clothing of the same type and compare to that, don't use your own body measurements (unless they were taken by a tailor).

>Burberry trench coat
What are some options for a trench coat like this that isnt Burberyy price?

>>17929651
look at the materials and search up trench coats with the same material. realistically, when it comes to designer pieces ur not gonna find another item with the same drape or silhouette even if both have the same materials.
