M41200 action shot   feat. Tilley, Great Lakes, Frank’s, dog

After I saw the listing about a week ago or so, i instantly reported to Grailed team - replied that they would sort it out asap. From grailed photos it was ez to spot a fake.  Also send him a pm. Zero reaction. 

I’m pretty sure it’s the same denim as the s601 

Saw the spectacular amazing and  talented Sierra Ferrel this week and had to get my Y'all-ternative on.  Barlesoni Homburg  Lots of rings Cropped Levi's Western shirt  Vintage 1984 Olympics tee (as worn by Val Kilmer in Real Genius)  Painted leather belt Mister Feeedom Outlaw  Vintage Justin's with tulip inlay and homemade bootstrap.  This T shirt is one of my most prized vintage items and probably the rarest tee I own.  Obviously no provenance but since it came from California you can't prove it's *not* the screen used shirt!   

PSA on Grailed/ Reps/ getting screwed: DO NOT BUY FROM RC8X / David Ionita  I recently bought a P23TS-CH on Grailed from RC8X  who has tens of thousands of dollars worth of ridiculously priced ACR pieces on the site. We went back and forth for a while and finally came to an agreement on a piece I have wanted for a long time. I unboxed them yesterday and was really psyched for about 30 seconds,  until I realized they are reps...mother fucker I have submitted a claim through PayPal and will probably also do so with my credit card. I just got a reply back from Grailed so hopefully something can be done there.  According to PayPal the guy's name is David Ionita [real?]. His profile on Grailed says shipping from Hong Kong but the package actually shipped from Saddle Brook NJ with the return address as my address.  Ultimately it's my fuck up for not looking at the photos with more scrutiny; now in the rear view I can clearly see that I missed details that are obvious. What got me is the exhaustive list of high end pieces he has with lots of photos, so I ASSumed [you know what they say about assume...] that this would be authentic. He also has a handful of good reviews for pieces that don't seem likely to be reps but who the F knows. He sold some P33-DS and SAC J6-011 which I can't imagine there are reps of but anything is possible  Maybe he is just trying to slip a few reps in the pile and hope they go unnoticed.  The rep list of differences in case it can help someone else [many of these are on a Reddit reps page but it recently went private...wtf]: - cuffs are some shit ass Lululemon garbage and not DS, also too short  - missing vertical stitch line by the button at the fly  - size tag is stitched through the tag....E would never do this shit - size tag is not thick and plasticy, it's much thinner material and most likely screen printed, also font is fading / scratched  - cut is way off, waist is not a cinch down, it's like normal size  - movement is restricted when trying to kick caps off of bottles, which is obviously the biggest problem  - stitching on ribbon is not the same, ribbon is flimsy  - pocket fabric lacks sheen found on the diagonal stripes of authentic items  I am fuming over my mistake but more so on the fact that people are trying to pull this shit off. How do you sleep at night? What will you think on your death bed?  Pretty sure he lurks here or is a member...help me out community...anyone know this guy? Aliases?  I am open to an honest solution, I don' want or need to go to war. That said I have copied and pasted a very terse message into most of his 88 listings in Grailed. Copy and paste can be your friend.  DAVID if you are reading this get your shit together and work with me. Which means: he refunds me and I send him his pants back. Or light them on fire.  Overall, it sucks but I have conducted many transactions on Grailed and have a 97% happy rate so, eventually, shit happens.  If anyone has input on the above, I appreciate your time. TL/DR; do not buy from RC8X, check details on a purchase with exhaustive attention to detail, reps are stupid.
