HELLO,

I HAVE SOME HELPFUL  HINTS THAT WILL HELP YOU SEPARATE THE AUTHENTIC FROM THE FAKE.

NOTE: MY KNOWLEDGE COMES FROM DEALING ''HUSTLING'' FAKE POPULAR NAME BRAND CLOTHES ON THE STREETS OF NEW YORK CITY.

1-CHECK FOR PROPER STITCHING. 

LOOK FOR THREAD THAT HASNT BEEN CUT AFTER BEING SOWNED AT THE SEAMS.

2-FEEL THE MATERIAL.

IF THE JEAN MATERIAL FEELS TOO ROUGH OR HEAVY, MOST LIKELY

IT IS CHEAP MATERIAL.

3-CHECK THE COLOR OF THE JEAN.

CHEAP DYE  IS OFTEN USED TO COLOR FAKE JEANS.

THE COLOR SOMETIMES RESEMBLE A VIOLET BLUE, SOMETHING LIKE THE INK FROM A COPY MACHINE. ''IT'S KINDA PURPELISH..

4-CHECK THE BUTTONS ON THE JEAN. SOMETIMES THEY WILL HAVE ANOTHER BRAND LOGO ON THEM, OR AT TIMES THEY WILL HAVE NO PRINTS AT ALL.

NOTE: BE AWARE THAT MANY PEOPLE  (HUSTLERS ) HAVE GONE TO THE EXTENT TO COVER THOSE TRACKS, SO THEY WILL INVEST A FEW CENTS MORE TO HAVE THE BUTTONS REPLACED WITH REPLICAS, THIS ALSO GOE'S FOR THE TAGGING ON AND IN THE CLOTHES.

5-ONE WAY YOU CAN KNOW IF THE TAG IS AUTHENTIC IS TO LOOK AT THE ALIGNMENT OF THE STITCHING, AND CHECK TO SEE IF THE LABEL IS PROPERLY POSITIONED.

MANY TAGS THAT ARE FAKE WILL BE STITCHED SIDE WAYS, CROOKED, OR EVEN UPSIDE DOWN.

ALSO LOOK FOR STITCHING NOT PROPERLY STITCH.THE STITCHING WOULD LOOK MESSY NOT SKILLFULY STITCH,ALSO WITH THREADS HANGING, AGAIN NOT BEIGN CUT AFTER THEY BEEN SOWN.

6-PACKAGING

THIS IS A DEAD GIVEAWAY.........CLOTHING IN CLEAR PLASTIC BAGS.

THIS GOES FOR SHIRTS, JEANS, SWEAT SUITS, HOODED SWEATERS, HAND BAGS, TEE SHIRTS,..ETC.

IF YOU SEE THIS WALK AWAY OR SIMPLY ASK YOURSELF DO I REALLY NEED TO HAVE THIS FAKE ''WHATEVER?''.LOL

WELL THANKS FOR DROPPING BY, IT WAS A PLEASURE HELPING SOMEONE  SAVE THEIR MONEY AND GRIEF.

GOOD BYE AND HAVE A AUTHENTIC SHOPPING SPREE. TAH TAH 4 NOW.
