***** ATTENTION RICH YUNG ENTHUSIASTS I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ THIS GUIDE BEFORE PURCHASING ANY RICH YUNG PRODUCTS OFF EBAY *****

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: Props to luzmarina610 for making an additional How To Spot Fake Rich Yung Guide. This guide is useful for all Rich Yung (Striped/Lined) Tee's.

"If you see a rich yung shirt with the lines going across (the stripes), if the stripes starts near or the point of the rich yung wing then its fake.. A real rich yung shirt has the stripes starting way below the wings.

An example of what luzmarina610 is referring to is:

luzmarina610's guide can also be found in the list of related Rich Yung guides.

UPDATE #2: Thanks to luzmarina610 once again for bringing some additional information to my attention:

1. All "RICH" printed shirts must have stripes/lines on the back (also includes the Rich Yung Golf & Tennis tee's)

2. For Multi-Colored Rich Yung shirts ALL shirts must have two different colored lines where the wing starts (the first two lines must not be the same color, if they are the item is a variant).

3. If you are interested within purchasing the "BONES" Edition Rich Yung Tee be aware that for it to be Authentic it must have little skulls on the front wings. If it does not than it is a FAKE. Also the bones on the back of the tee must be located near the bottom of the tee not near the middle.

Cont'd...

At first glance I was curious as to the possibilities of there being variants on ebay. After further researching on the Internet I happened to come across a few websites (which will remain unnamed to limit further distribution of fakes) that were without a doubt producing & selling factory variants from China.

I'm writing this guide to warn any people out there that are interested within getting this exclusive limited brand to be cautious of which buyers you purchase from. I have seen a few sellers currently selling items that are without a doubt bought from these websites.

Things to look out for:

• Suspiciously low pricing
• It is VERY apparent within their IMAGES they enlist as to which items are VARIANTS
• The MOST IMPORTANT pieces of information to look out for is the sellers PREVIOUSLY SOLD RICH YUNG ITEMS and SUSPICIOUSLY HIGH QUANTITIES of the same ITEM (Keep in mind that as of right now Rich Yung is available in very limited quantities and is only found in certain boutique stores, they have not began to sell in the masses as of yet & are still in the process of signing joint ventures with larger manufacturing companies & distributors) 
• Any person who knows the Rich Yung Line fairly thoroughly will be able to spot AUTHENTICS without second guessing the item.

If you come across those two warning signs than it is most likely that they're indeed selling FAKES

There's still of course AUTHENTIC Rich Yung products out there and these will be apparent.

Hopefully this will be useful to all buyers of this brand
