Authenticity checklist

Short on time? Use this list to quickly verify your bag:

1. Examine the Neck Tag: Most often, fake Supreme x The North Face jackets will exhibit inconsistencies in font weight and letter placement on their neck tags. Pay attention to the stitching quality as well, which tends to be poorer on replicas.
2. Inspect the Wash Tags: Analyze the text on the wash tags of your Supreme x TNF Mountain Baltoro jacket. Fake jackets often feature text that appears too wide and thick.
3. Review Exterior Arm Badges: Genuine Supreme x TNF jackets maintain consistent letter shapes and placement on exterior arm badges, whereas fake jackets often exhibit irregularities.
