In this guide, we’ll teach you how to spot fake Fear Of God Essentials hoodies.
All models and colorways can be checked with this guide.
Separately, we’ve got a Essentials t-shirt guide.
Let’s go to the hoodie.
You can know if Essentials hoodies are real by checking if the wash tag’s text is too thick or so thin it almost looks scratched.
These issues are always seen on fake hoodies, as none of them makes an exception. Authentic hoodies are of the highest quality.
Let’s check out the comparison between the real and fake Essentials hoodies.

All the inscriptions on the real Essentials hoodie are thicker and more defined when compared to the fake Essentials hoodie’s thinner text.
Authentic Fear Of God Essentials hoodies must have the same thickness for all characters.
Expert Verdict - Let our team look at your FOG clothes:
Flip your wash tag upside down in order to reach this part.

For your reference, we’ve compared another replica vs authentic Fear Of God wash tags. This one is of less quality compared to the previous Essentials fake.

See how the tex on the real ESSENTIALS hoodie has the same thickness for all characters. This applies all over the wash tag, not just in some sections.
It’s the little details like these that separate the real vs fake Essentials hoodies.
Proceeding to the third way to spot fake vs real FOG hoodies, we will now check the two items for their neck tags.
Just as how the name may sound, we are now going to check a little label that’s located at the neck’s area, on the interior side of the real vs fake Fear Of God Essentials hoodies.

As for the sixth and last step for the guide on how to spot fake Fear Of God Essentials hoodies, we are going to check the text on the front side of the real vs fake FOG Essentials hoodies.
Looking at the authentic FOG Essentials hoodie’s “ESSENTIALS” text, you can see how the same text is thinner than the one on the fake piece.
Shortly, Fear Of God isn’t the same as Essentials — though they’re not far away from each other. While Fear Of God had a few editions called “ESSENTIALS”, the brand Essentials is a separate entity created by the same designer who made Fear Of God, whose name is Jerry Lorenzo.
According to Vogue’s words, Essentials is a “Competitively priced sister label”, as the brand was made in 2018. On the other hand, Fear Of God was founded in 2011.
Ever since 2018, we’ve seen many celebrities in the streetwear industry wearing Essentials (e.g. Virgil Abloh with the Off-White brand and Kanye West with the Yeezy brand).
