Below are some tips to follow for spotting Fake Jeans:

Pay close attention to the quality of the stitching.  Uneven stitching and loose threads are very good indicators that you are looking at fake designer jeans.

Designer jeans have some signature stitching on the pockets that makes them stand out. A good suggestions is to go to the manufacturer's website. Sometimes the difference in fake designer jeans pocket stitching is difficult to spot. Becoming familiar with the "real brand" helps to spot some of those differences. If you notice a difference, you can be almost certain you are looking at a fake.

Labels will often be the easiest and quickest way to identify a fake. Fakes will usually have very subtle differences in writing or label quality. Both paper and fabric tags are usually made of cheaper materials than their authentic counterparts. If you spot an exterior hangtag with different paper quality, font or twine attachment it is almost always a fake.

Inspect the buttons. Some jeans the buttons are pretty close to the original, however, some buttons are different sizes, have letters missing or in some cases the wrong buttons completely.
