One of Seven For All Mankind's most popular styles for many many years has been the A pocket.  The A pocket is a slim fitting lowrise cut, with a slightly flared leg from the knee down, and is almost universally flattering.  Aside from the great fit, the eye-catching A design is one of the main draws!  This style comes in every color of the rainbow, with many shades of each color, multiple color combinations, large numbers of washes to go with those different A colors, and of course... the extremely popular crystallized styles!  These are one of the most highly counterfeited styles for a reason... they are unbelievably gorgeous!  Unfortunately fakes are obviously just the opposite... hideous! 

Look at this mess!  Crystals are plasticky with poor shine, wrong colors, and they can't even seem to find the A.  Compare this to the Sugarplum crystal A below, which is what this monstrosity was supposed to be, and you will be sickened too!

One of the best ways to learn how to spot fakes is to see the real deal for yourself!  Once your eye is more trained, you will become as horrified as myself and the other AUTHENTICFORUM experts at how bad some of the fakes out here in eBay land are.  Unfortunately many eBayers don't live in areas where there are stores that sell Seven at retail.  And that's where we come in at AuthenticForum:

This guide is devoted to some of the more impressive Swarovski Crystal A's.  All crystal Seven's are crystallized by hand with genuine Swarovski's with brilliant shine and impeccable craftsmanship.  Fakes are made with cheap plastic garbage that does not reflect properly in photograph flash or in real life, and also use cheap glue which results in them falling off with even the slightest wear/washing.

For your viewing pleasure, 10 beautiful crystal A's!  eBay only allows 10 photos, but at AuthenticForum we have pictures of nearly EVERY A POCKET EVER PRODUCED (and other styles too) in our large photo guides.  In addition we're a free resource to post any pair up for the experts to check authenticity for you.  Now feast your eyes, and remember... no one looks cool in fakes!
