How to spot a fake Supreme Bape box logo
The #1 way to spot fake Supreme x Bape box logo t-shirts is to examine the neck and wash tags.
Fakes tees typically lack the correct font-weighting and aging on their inscriptions, making them stand out from authentic versions.
1. Neck tag
Authentic:
Vintage Look: The neck tag displays a slightly faded and “older” appearance, even when well-kept, due to the item’s age.
“®” Symbol Placement: It’s located lower and has more space between it and the Supreme box logo above.
Text Font-Weight: Despite some fading, the text in the middle of the neck tag maintains a noticeably thicker font-weight.
Fake:
Fresh Appearance: The neck tag looks conspicuously “new,” as though it was recently made.
“®” Symbol Placement: It is positioned too closely to the Supreme box logo above.
Text Font-Weight: The text in the neck tag’s body is noticeably thinner than its authentic counterpart.
2. Wash tag
Flip over the neck tag to see the washing instructions.
Authentic:
Ghost Inscriptions: Expected faded text, yet still discernible and notably thinner in appearance.
Fake:
Text Thickness: Displays overly thick inscriptions, contrasting with the subtle and faded appearance of authentic versions.
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. Stitching
We’ll stay on the neck tag for the Supreme tee’s stitching.
Authentic:
Stitching: Features thinner and narrower stitches on both sides of the label.
Fake:
Stitching: Displays overly thick and wide stitching, noticeably different when compared to the authentic tee.
4. Box logo
Authentic Supreme x Bape box logo tee:
Letter “p”: Has a smaller inner circle due to the letter being thicker.
Letter “e”: Appears thicker and bulkier, particularly at the bottom.
Spacing: Lesser space between the letters “m” and “e” due to their thicker build.
Fake Supreme x Bape box logo tee:
Letter “p”: Features a wider inner circle, a result of the letter being too thin.
Letter “e”: Is notably thinner, especially noticeable at the bottom part of the letter.
Spacing: Displays excessive space between the letters “m” and “e” due to them being too thin.
5. Bape logo
Authentic:
Exhibits a darker shade of brown, reflecting the original color palette of the brand.
Fake:
Utilizes a lighter, incorrect shade of brown, differing from the authentic hue.
