    Its common for the designer to use a manufacturer for a fixed period time of exclusive production. When that time is up the manufacturer is free to use the design and sell it without branding. The designer gets the manufacturing slightly cheaper and the manufacturer gets the reward of adopting the design.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    Sure, but the next people to use the design take their own photos of their own merchandise not just to prove they physically have (or at least had one ) that item (that may well be exactly the same less logo), but because it is also theft and questionably dishonest to not do so

    The image they've doctored there is labelled as 'bvlgari ladies watches' ffs.

    That's what I thought, looking at both photos.

    edit: Here is a diff image, which shows in pink the differences between the two images at a pixel level. It is literally the same picture with the logos digitally removed.

    yes, but the image could be supplied by the manufacturer, to BOTH resellers.

    If you really give a shit, why not actually ask them, instead of going all private eye conspiracy on this shit. Youll either catch out a liar, or learn something.

    I quick search on trade me shows they have been selling gear since 2013. The TM feedback is assuring. I notice they have recently been registered as a company which means they were, perhaps, trading as sole traders before. They have presence on eBay as well - new sellers tough.

    My cuz in Palmy bought a once piece suit from them. His experience was very good. Good price for custom made suits.

    Any others bought a jacket from these guys? Around $100-150 less than any comparable style leather jackets that I can find in CHCH. I just dont like cordura but will probably go that route to save a few dollars.

    has anyone had any experience of how these leathers perform when most needed ... i.e. when sliding along the road on your ass?

    How would you like to be sliding on your ass ... with only 1.3mm of "Quality Leather" ... keeping that ass off the tarmac.
    When life throws you a curve ... Lean into it ...

    I thought that even branded sport leathers like spyke etc used 1mm, could be wrong. A poor zip would probably cancel out the benefit of the leather though....
