Chrome Hearts Jeans: Real Vs Fake Guide (2024)

Last Updated on January 9, 2024 by Ch David

Trying to learn how to spot fake Chrome Hearts jeans?

Over 90% of Chrome Hearts’ jeans are custom-made. Just ~10% of their products are manufactured in bulk, e.g. in collaboration with Levi’s.

In this guide, we’ll teach you how to spot any fake Chrome Hearts jeans.

Let’s check it out!

How to spot fake Chrome Hearts jeans

You can spot fake Chrome Hearts jeans by looking at the stitching on the crosses. Fake jeans never have their details properly defined due to attention flaws.

Authentic Chrome Hearts jeans are made with care, always being flawless.

1. Crosses

1.1. Comparison

• Stitching Quality: The fake jeans exhibit poorly done stitching, with threads of different sizes and lengths, while the genuine Chrome Hearts jeans have consistent, neatly done stitching.
• Extra Thread: On the right side of the cross, the fake jeans have an extra thread in the top-left area, which is absent in the authentic pair.
• Leather Quality: The fake jeans show creases in the leather on the left side’s cross, whereas the authentic jeans have high-quality, crease-free leather.

These details highlight the disparity in quality between the fake and genuine Chrome Hearts jeans.

Letter “P” in the Last Symbol:

French Text Thickness:

• Authentic: Authentic jeans have thinner text in the second line of French text.

4. Metal badge

• Fake: The text on the fake jeans’ metal badge looks excessively thick due to being fit too deep into the metal.
• Authentic: The “CHROME HEARTS” text on genuine jeans’ metal badge is thinner because it is fit less deep into the metal.

5. Waist label

5.1. Authentic example

• The authentic Chrome Hearts jeans have all of their letters fit the same deep, as they all have the same thickness.
• All stitches around the rectangle-shaped label on the legit have the same thickness, size and shape.

5.2. Fake example

Looking at the image with the replica Chrome Hearts jeans above, you can see how these jeans have their stitching on the left and the right side of the label improperly done, as some of the stitches are way thicker than the other, as well as the other stitches being too thin.

1. Check the crosses for extra threads or creases.
2. Inspect the buttons for a melted appearance and proper text thickness.
