Well its genuine and all Ok, but the condition is a little rough and you shouldnt pay a lot for it. If the price is good, then fine. Doug

It is legitimate, but as stated somewhat rough.

Is it my eyes? Some of the piping looks Red. Other piping looks orange and the tabs look orange as well. I don't think it is the pictures as these variations appear in the same photos (1st and last to be exact).

Fading? Maybe but why would the collar piping be red but the piping on the front be orange?

Just my observations but wondering if I am wrong.

Personally I think thats a fair price.

Most people on this forum will tell you only to ever buy things in very good condition, and of course thats good advice. Personally I started by buying rougher things and progressed up to better ones, and I was happy with that. But you may find that in a few years you are no longer happy with this and you want a better one. Thats why its especially important to not pay too much, but at $400 I think you could sell this on without loosing out. Just my opinion.

You might just want to check what size it is, some of these tunics are really tiny! But that might not bother you.

A valid point and a good eye Michael!

In the bottom photo, it is very obvious that there is a difference in the collar piping to the front closure piping. This should be investigated before you spend any money on this. JMHO.

Looking at the piping on the front closure, when lining the piping up with colar. it looks the same. But a bit dirty and a little faded. Looking at the colar tabs they look more orange than the piping. but the tread on reverse is red . Regards Deadeye

Do you have it in hand? Because I'm seeming something else in the picture. I'm not saying this is a bad tunic but as Ralph said is something that should be investigated. As for the collar tabs, yes the stitching is red but why are they orange? I could see how the different materials (collar vs tabs ) could theoretically fade differently but I don't see how the piping would be different colors.
