How to know if your Essentials Fear Of God t-shirt is real

To know if your Essentials Fear Of God t-shirt is real, you should check the wash tag: very thick inscriptions always indicate a replica. The same applies to text which is so thin that it almost looks scratched.

Now, let’s dive into the fully-detailed legit check guide for Essentials t-shirts.

1. Wash tag front side

• The fake wash tag has its text badly font-weighted.
• All of the inscriptions are too thin.
• This is most visible if you look at: “100% COTTON”, “RN# 090233”, “OVER FOR CARE”.

Looking at the genuine Fear Of God tee, you can see how its same inscriptions look thicker and more defined than the fake ones.

Expert Verdict - Let our team look at your FOG clothes:

2. Wash tag rear side

The wash tags there are not so different from their front sides, but keep in mind that checking this spot is very important as the wash tags can easily tell you the authenticity of a FOG tee.

As you can see in the authentic vs fake Fear of God Essentials tee image above:

• The fake tee has its text too thin.

Regardless of what the text reads, an authentic Fear Of God tee’s wash tag should have the same thickness as the one seen on the real wash tag above.

3. Neck tag

The neck tag is pretty simple as it usually says the same words throughout the Essentials tees of different releases.

As simple as it is, the neck tag can also easily tell you whether you are looking at a real or fake ESSENTIALS t-shirt.

In the image with the authentic vs replica Fear Of God Essentials t-shirts above:

• The fake tee has its text at the wrong thickness.
• The “ESSENTIALS” and “FEAR OF GOD” inscriptions are too small.
• The fake Fear Of God tee’s text is also too thick when put side-by-side with the real deal.

Speaking of which, the authentic Fear Of God Essentials t-shirt’s inscriptions on the neck tag look bigger and also a bit thinner than the fake ones.

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. Size tab

In the image with the real vs fake Fear Of God Essentials tees above:

• The fake item’s “Made in Vietnam” text is too thick and too big.

On the other hand, the same inscription seen on the genuine FOG tee is supposed to be thinner and smaller than the fake one.

5. Front print

Proceeding to the fifth way of the guide on how to legit check Fear Of God Essentials t-shirts, we are going to talk about the main print which stands out on the FOG ESsentials tees.

In the image with the fake vs real Fear Of God Essentials tees above:

• The fake t-shirt has its “ESSENTIALS” text too wide.
• Most visible in the letters “S” and “T”, where the letters are too large.

The authentic t-shirt’s letters are narrower than the replica “ESSENTIALS” print.

6. Rubber tag

In the image with the authentic vs fake Fear Of God Essentials t-shirts above:

• The fake FOG tee’s stitches are too thick and bulky.

Speaking of which, the authentic tee has its threads looking thinner and tinier than the fake ones.

Shortlist: Legit check t-shirts in 30 seconds

1. Check the first wash tag of your item, as most of the fake products have their wash tag’s text too thin.
2. Examine the rear side of the wash tag, because the fake Fear Of God Essentials hoodies have their text badly font-weighted.
3. Look at the text on the neck tag of your Fear Of God hoodie, as fake hoodies usually have their text too thick or too thin.
4. Authenticate the “ESSENTIALS” text on the front side of your Fear Of God Essentials hoodie. In most cases, the replica FOG t-shirts have their text too wide.
5. Inspect the text found on the rubber tag. Usually, the fake Fear Of God Essentials have their text too thick or too thin there
