How to legit check a Stüssy t-shirt

The real answer is: Check the neck tag’s text to know if you have a legit Stüssy tee. Fakes never have right font and thickness for the letters.

1. Neck tag

  • Authentic:
    1. The letter “ü” are thinner.
    2. Letter “t” is very curved on the bottom-right leg.
    3. The “Size” text is wider.
  • Fake:
    1. Dots in “ü” are too thick.
    2. “t” isn’t curved at the bottom.
    3. “Size” is too narrow.

  • Fake: “100% COTTON” is too big and uses a different font.

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.

3. Print
