This guide is all about the Vlone x Fragment Design collaboration.
We’ll teach you how to spot a fake.
This guide works for both tees and hoodies.
Let’s proceed.
How to spot fake Vlone Fragment
The quickest method to identify fake Vlone x Fragment items is by examining the neck and wash tags.
Replica Vlone x Fragment items typically have discrepancies in the font weights and positioning for their text.
1. Neck tag
Authentic:
The upper lines of text are smaller and thicker.
The “LIVE VLONE DIE VLONE” text is thicker and correctly positioned in the middle of the V-shaped neck tag line, with equal distance from the top and bottom of the tag.
Fake:
The upper lines of text at the top of the neck tag are too big and too thin.
The “LIVE VLONE DIE VLONE” text is thin and improperly positioned.

2. Wash tag
Authentic:
“SIZE x” text is thicker and boxier.
The “100% COTTON” text is narrower.
The “30” text in the washing instructions is thicker.
“MADE IN CHINA” text is smaller and thicker.
Fake:
The “SIZE x” text is too thin and stretched out.
“100% COTTON” text is too wide and uses a different font.
The “30” text in the washing instructions is too thin.
The “MADE IN CHINA” inscription is also too thin and stretched out.
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. FRIENDS- (Front)
Authentic:
Text properly spaced between each letter, with consistent spacing.
The gaps on the circle logo around the hyphen are smaller than those on the fake item.
Fake:
The letters on the fake Vlone x Fragment t-shirt are improperly spaced.
Too much space between each letter.
The fragment circle logo around the hyphen (“-“) also has too much space between the gaps.
Holes on the back of the Vlone logo with the correct spacing and size.
The “V” logo is not supposed to touch the Fragment logo but should be close to it without overlapping.
Fake:
Holes on the back of the Vlone logo that are too wide.
This is especially noticeable in some of the larger holes…
Which are wider than they should be.
Additionally, the “V” logo is smaller and thinner, positioned too far away from the Fragment Design circle logo.
Authenticity checklist
Inspect the neck tag: Fake Vlone x Fragment Design items often have thin text that is misplaced from the middle of the tag. Ensure that the text has the correct thickness and is properly centered on the tag.
Analyze the wash tag: Check if the text on the wash tag matches the font of authentic items and that it’s not too thick. Pay particular attention to the “V” logo, as fake Vlone items may lack the holes in the “V” logo.
Examine the frontal “FRIENDS-” logo: Fake items may have excessive spacing between the letters in this logo, and the circle around it may have a wider gap than authentic items.
Check the Vlone logo on the back: Look closely at the “V” logo on the back of your Vlone x Fragment item. Fake items often have wider holes in the “V” logo, and it may appear too thin and small, placed too far from the Fragment Design circle logo.
These indicators should help you legit check faster.
