Let’s focus on the hoodie for now.

How to spot a fake Stüssy hoodie

The #1 way to spot a fake Stüssy hoodie is to check the wash tag. A fake hoodie may have sloppy stitches and thinner text.

1. Wash tag

Authentic:

1. More subtle black stitches.
2. “70% COTTON” is bigger.
3. Bigger text, with letters closer to each other.
4. Thinner and a bit taller/bigger print.

Fake:

1. Exposed, large stitching at the top.
2. “70% COTTON” is too small and has too much space between the characters.
3. “MACHINE WASH COLD” is too small.
4. “HAVE A GOOD VIBE!!” is too thick.

Too difficult? Let our team of expert Stüssy authenticators take a look at your clothes:

2. Logo

• Authentic: Longer line in “s”, and thinner dots in “ü”.
• Fake: “s” is too short, and the dots in “ü” are too thick.

3. Neck tag

3.1. Front

• Authentic: Letter “t” curves at the bottom, and the “ü” dots are diamond-shaped.
• Fake: “t” doesn’t curve at the bottom, and the dots in “ü” are too squared.

3.2. Back

• Authentic: Every inscription is thicker
• Fake: Thinner symbols and text.

See how the text also uses a different font on teh fake hoodie — the letters are too big.

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…
