Anyone can help me please! I bought this tunic but need to identify if it's original. Thanks a lot.
High ranking items are not my specialty.
Tunic is OK for me. Buttons seem original also. The shoulder-boards may or may not be as they are reproduced in quantity. However, as with all the fake junk out there being purveyed as original, they are not artificially aged.
You can try removing the buttons and shoulder-boards and soaking the tunic in a mild solution of chlorine bleach and warm water for an hour or so and line drying it. Most of the time results are not a great success. I have heard of something age-old call "bluing" but have never tried it...

PS - It is always in your best interest to ask questions FIRST - BEFORE you buy.

Hello,
If their is no stamp and if the tunic looks strong I will recomend to wash it soft with a whitener. That said I will not take the button off if they are orriginaly sewed on as they pertain to the tunic and it is best o keep it in its orinal state.
For safety purpose you can also bring it to a Dry clean place and ask for their advice. It might be the easiest and more reliable source of information as they will tell you what they can or cannot do
Best regards

Hi Bruno
Thanks a lot for your kind reminding. I think you are right. I should try to find a professional cleaner first before I clean it by myself. The reason why I hesitated to do that was because I was not sure if this tunic original. However Richie told me this tunic should be fine.
I got it for $100 since its condition is fair only. Thus I was not sure if it's worthy to spend more money to find professional one to clean it, thanks again.
Sincerely yours
Kevin
Pleasure,
Anyway, the question to the dry cleaner will not cost much : )
And this will be good advise
When it is cotton, this is not big deal. When it turn to whool this become mandatory
All the best
Bruno
