• But you don’t know where to begin

How to Legit Check a Gallery Dept T-Shirt

Answer: The best way to legit check a Gallery Dept shirt is to look at the orange label for thin stitches and very bolded inscriptions.

These are two of the biggest signs of a fake GALLERY DEPT shirt.

1. Orange label

• Authentic:
  • Stitching is thicker
  • Text logo is thinner
• Fake:
  • Stitching is too thin
  • “GALLERY DEPT.®” is too thick

Is it too hard? Reach out to our Gallery Dept experts take a look at your tee:

2. Made in USA

This tab is next to the grey neck tag.

• Authentic: “MADE IN USA” is thinner.
• Fake: “MADE IN USA” is too thick.

3. Print

• Authentic: Thinner “G”, and less curvy “R” at the bottom.
• Fake: “G” is too thick, and the bottom of “R” is too curvy.

A quick mention:

• The steps we’ve written so far are the BEST ways to authenticate this item
• The next few steps are still reliable methods…
• … but they apply to non-top-versions of replicas available for this item

If in doubt, we recommend double-checking the steps we’ve explained above this line.

4. Attention

• Authentic: Thicker, more solid text.
• Fake: All of the text is too thin.

On a side note, see how “TT” in “ATTENTION” are connected on the real tee. The fake letters “T” are not connected — there’s a gap in the middle.

5. Neck tag

• Authentic: Thicker, shorter stitches — generally boxier.
• Fake: Stitching is too thin and long.
