Hey all! could I get a LC on these two items? I'm interested in hunting for deals on Yahoo Japan, but I've been burned before by a replica Kapital sweatshirt.

Is there a best practices for newbies to avoid replica Visvim? Any tips on how to spot fake tags/packaging would be much appreciated.

First one is fake. The bag should have the name of the garment in bold lettering and everything else below it should not. Those hoodies were faked a lot. Second one is real. The only way I know is the font on the care label. Replicas have a tough time getting that right.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! What about the font on the care label helps you know it's real? Just like the different thicknesses and spacing and stuff?

That's so wild that fakes will do the matching packaging and tag number. Thanks for the hint about the packaging bold item name and care tag font, that's super useful.

Also the inner fabric is off. Replicas have a hard time mimicking the inside of hoodies/sweats. This how the legit version looks.

what makes you think that? All feedback much appreciated, seriously
I say they're both fake. First one is pretty easy as the packaging, care tag material and sloppiness of the stitching on the made in japan tag, also the peerless stenciling and patchwork fabric is way off, on the second one, I've never seen a albacore shirt with a pattern like that on the sleeves, can't be 100% that it's legit.

it's the same as your expertise on Kapital (which I have absolutely none, since I don't own any Kaptial) it all comes from experience, and yes; occasionally being burned on replicas unfortunately.
