Here are some pics.
Question, did you have those hemmed? Also what is the second button down on the fly that's not RRL branded ? The fact that it says "cuth" instead of cut it also suspect... Where did this person ship from?

Idk too many red flags to me, I'd say they're fake. Here are tags from some of my pairs through the years, all bought at the West Broadway store

I thought the same thing about the button ! This was shipped from Philadelphia. By the seller olivewho. These were hemmed to a 32 length before I purchased . But never worn. Thinking back now it seems a little suspect. However, the weight / quality of the denim seems like it’s authentic

I didn’t realize rrl fakes were a thing. I’ve been watching his items and some of them are very authentic looking. I mean the stitching and the quality of the jeans raises no red flag at all. Or mixing in fakes with authentic stuff? I’m just wondering how someone devotes so much time into faking these items so well.

What items does he have that are fake?
he always has a plethora of older rare belts that he always resupplies, the buckleback jeans he has now are suspect (look at that selvedge ID) and this abomination posted a few times. that and the fact that tyjordan clearly received fake jeans should say it all, even if he manages to sprinkle in some legit items here and there. I think @urbanwoodsman would happily back me on all this

also feel free to search "RRL Reps" on reddit. it will point you to all the overseas websites you can buy fakes from. so its not just some guy in philly going through the effort of knocking off things in his basement

If this were the case. I think we would see an over abundance of fakes flooding through every second hand market place. To replicate the quality of material/stitching/ would be very painstaking and costly!

it would be easier to share the ones that aren't legit. I've found ebay for the most part to be reliable for authentic items unless the seller has harder to find items in bulk (usually hong kong), ships from india (leathers may be REAL but not authorized) and some dude in philadelphia i think who has a bunch of fake items.
The Philly guy should be avoided. If you have purchased anything from that seller, I would recommend opening a return for item does not appear to be authentic. It's likely only then will ebay limit this seller from listing RRL.

If ever in doubt when buying new RRL items from someone from ebay, ask for an email receipt or some sort of proof. But it doesn't appear fake RRL runs too rampant on the bay.
