Distressed condition. Exterior is in pretty good overall shape. Lining has tears. White / black checkered with some green. Two real front pockets, one fake front pocket. Different buttons on each sleeve. Missing bottom button on jacket. Tag stitching has come loose some & there was a sticker on tag previously, leaving behind sticker residue. Velvet/velour collar.

Authenticity:

Based on the full garment + construction details, this looks authentic, not fake.

Here’s why 👇

Key authenticity indicators I see

1. Fabric & build quality

• The houndstooth wool looks dense and irregular in a way that’s consistent with older Italian wool (not flat or printed like modern fakes).

• The hand feel you’d expect from this era: slightly fuzzy, substantial, not overly crisp.

2. Collar construction

• The quilted velvet/velour collar with diamond stitching is very on-brand for Gianni Versace late 80s–early 90s outerwear.

• That kind of collar detail is expensive to produce and rarely done correctly on fakes.

• Wear + nap flattening on the velvet is consistent with age.

3. Lining

• The jacquard-style lining with repeated medusa/ornamental motifs is a big green flag.

• Pattern alignment, sheen, and weave look period-correct.

• Cheap replicas usually use plain acetate or poorly printed linings — this is woven.

4. Label integration

• The Gian Versace label placement, stitching, and slight misalignment are all normal for vintage production.

• The size tab (44) hanging beneath the main label is exactly what you’d expect from Italian tailoring of that time.

5. Overall silhouette

• The longer, structured cut with utilitarian pockets fits Versace’s crossover era between tailoring and outerwear.

• Nothing about the proportions screams modern repro.

About the flaws

• Sticker residue on the label ✔️ normal

• Fabric lint stuck to adhesive ✔️ normal

• Fraying edges ✔️ expected for a piece likely 30+ years old

For vintage Gianni Versace (late 80s–early 90s):

• Many garments did not have modern care/content labels sewn into the side seam.

• Fiber content was often:

• Printed on a paper hang tag (long gone), or

• Included on a removable fabric tag that owners frequently cut out because they were scratchy.

• Some Italian-made coats only had:

• Brand label

• Size tab

• “Made in Italy”

Your coat matches that exactly.
