Hey, I bought a jacket from some guy who was selling them out of his
car.  I am pretty sure they were a rip off, but none the less they
looked very nice.  He claimed them to be RGA Reportage Leather
Jackets.  He wanted over $1000 for them, I said no way.  I soon enough
bought one for $50 bucks.  Which seemed like a good duel if they were
a rip off or not.  I want to know if they are turly a Rip off or the
real thing.  My story is very similar to what I found here

There is also a little card in the jacket that shows a picture of an
Eagle, with its head facing the left side.  It says Reportage at the
top and R.G.A under the Eagle logo.  It then says
Certificato Di Authenticitia
Certificat D'Authenticity
Certificate of Authenticity
Echtheitszeugnis

MADE IN ITALY

I want to know if you can find a similar RGA Reportage Certificate of
Authenticity and send it to me (a picture of it) or verify if this is
a real certificate.  On the back it has N 9008080  With more writings
about its Authenticity.  Thank you

I'd think that anyone who could fake a jacket could also fake a
certificate of authenticity.

So true.  Thats excatly what I'm thinking.  The jacket is super nice,
and even when I bought it I was thinking in my head, this jacket is so
fake, but still real nice :).   Just wanna know for sure lol.
