    haha thats harsh. my cobbler said "wow these are pretty interesting" when I took my guidi lace ups in. hes an older dude but I guess most of his work is with some super cheap to mediocre quality shoes.

          Hmm, never seen that version before. Not saying they're fake per se but something just doesn't seem right about them.

          Carol has never put the materials/size tag right below his yellow tag (which is practically always at the right hip anyways) in the center back like that. Also, the materials tag is practically black inferring that the item was object dyed but it certainly does not look to be object dyed at all.... in fact on closer observation the tag doesn't seem to have ANY printing on it whatsoever. Plus, the overlock is white on blue/black jeans which is also unusual not to mention that it seems like the overlock seems to disappear mid thigh?

          I'm gonna "Malcolm Gladwell" this one and say there's something not super kosher about this pair. Total shame too since twist overlock jeans basically have NEVER shown up in size 50 anywhere.

                Well, I can't outright call em fake.... it's an interesting item either way so I'll leave it quoted in my post then. Be interested in hearing what other people's opinions of it are!

                  cosign on the no-kosher conclusion, object dyed tag on a non object dyed garment is like fruit on a pizza, like whats up. then again mr. poeru has been known for a few bloopers here and there, if those are from the bicycle tee season then why not.

                    Tomatoes are a fruit. And who doesn't love pineapple or jalapenos on a pizza with the right accompanying toppings?

                            are you aware, sir, that tomatoes have been legally classified as vegetables, even though botanically they are fruits.

                            they are of course very welcome on my plate even though I dont like fresh ones, but pineapple on a pizza to me is the equivalent of putting chocolate or ice cream on one - dont mix desserts and actual food

                              Being wise is knowing tomato is a fruit, but being smart is not putting it in a fruit salad.

                                its possible they were purchased being white and dyed at home, the poly thread wouldn't accept color along with the tags except the printed one. Also i have a feeling the tags on the jeans are in the back as opposed to trousers in the front right?
