The easiest way to verify if the shoe (Nike/JOrdan) are NOT a fake is to do research to see if that colorway has been released by the company. There are several websites that offer the lineage of Nike/Jordan Brand shoes, revealing all colorways released. Air-jordans.com is an excellent resource.

Fake Pink Pony, polo, or ralph laurenOk First off I am a consumer like you , not an expert so I just am passing along info I have figured out because I have real pink pony from ralph lauren, and I bought a fake from a schister on ebay and I noted the following differences.... Be aware of sellers with big lots these could be fake from china etc. If you are buying a sweatshirt ask the seller if the zipper puller says polo engraved in the puller. It will also have a pink tab puller. If is does not it is counterfit. The other way to tell is if the tags on the inside sewn in are wrinkled and look like they were just sewn in after manufacture. The tags, could in addition have frays and crooked stitch. This is a tall tale sign that these are fakes. Lastly ask to see a close up of the pink pony design. If you see any fading or not clear crisp design this is also fake. There are a lot of counterfiters out there was one that sold one to me and I got my money back because I prooved that it was FAKE to the seller. Don't take this lying down. You can report all counterfiters to the security center. Take action on these people and get them booted off of EBAY. The powers that be at ebay strictly go off consumer complaints, they have no way check quality or authenticy of merchandise. If you don't do anything it will continue..... Fake TOMMY BAHAMAEveryone
who either sells or buys Tommy Bahama is buying into a total lifestyle
and not just a line of clothing. We appreciate the fine quality of the
Tommy Bahama merchandise. What we don't need is to be worried about
questions of our shirt's authenticity or whether it will fall apart in
the wash. Correct Way to Tuck Men's Dress Shirt Into Trousers...Picture #1 Picture #2 Picture #3 Picture #4 Picture #5 Picture #6 For many men, the body of a dress shirt is considerably wider than their actual body sillhouette. Nothing looks worse than a well-dressed man with a messy-looking shirt tucking -- bunched up in the back and uneven. There are steps to correctly tucking a shirt tail just as there are steps to making a correct Windsor knot in a tie. Start with trousers open and unzipped, slid down to the hips, with legs spread apart to keep them up. Button shirt in the front, all the way down, then smooth the excess fabric to the back sides amd grasp it on either side, making a pleat, as in Picture #1. In Picture #2, thumbs are holding the pleat down and f... Spotting Fake Multicolor Big Pony Polo ShirtsI have an authentic Polo multicolor big pony polo shirt that I purchased from polo.com. I have seen many fakes on ebay! Here is my advice on spotting fakes, as compared to my authentic multicolor Polo: How to tell if your Lacoste is FakeHello, this is a guide about Lacoste, on ebay mostly 90% of Lacoste shirts are fake. I think that is crazy, and most of the fake ones are being sold for the 30 dollar range, which is a lot because that is how much most of the real ones are. This guide will tell you what is a fake and what is not... It will help you buying many shirts other then lacoste shirts on Ebay. THE BUTTONS Now a fake Laco... HOW TO SPOT A FAKE NAT NAST CAMP SHIRTI am a lover of Nat Nast products, especially their silk camp shirts. The quality cannot be beat. I love the relaxed style, vivid colors and creative embroidery. Since many sellers list Nat Nast products on ebay, I wanted to let you how to spot a "true" Nat Nast silk camp shirt. I do not work for Nat Nast and I am not an expert. The following is my opinion from years of experience selling Nat Nast on ebay. The buttons will be engraved with "Nat Nast Luxury Originals." The label sewn into the shirt will also have "Nat Nast ® Luxury Originals Since 1946. Make sure their logo - the lion wearing a crown is there too. The embroidered Lion Logo can also be found at the front hem. Inside the shirt you will find a white rectangle tag. This is sewn into the side seam. I noticed that the older shirts do not have color name listed. Whenever you purchase anything on ebay, make sure you are buying from a reputable seller. Check out their feedback. If you feel the item you purchased is a fake, contact ebay's safe harbor. Buying Ralph Lauren Polos For more than 38 years, Polo?s reputation and distinctive image have been consistently developed across an expanding number of products, brands and international markets. The Company?s brand names, which include ?Polo by Ralph Lauren?, ?Ralph Lauren Purple Label?, ?Ralph Lauren?, ?Black Label?, ?Blue Label?, ?Lauren by Ralph Lauren?, ?Polo Jeans Co.?, ?RRL?, ?RLX?, ?Rugby?, ?RL Childrenswear?, ?Chaps?, and "Club Monaco" among others, constitute one of the world?s most widely recognized families of consumer brands. ~ polo.com 1967 - Where it all began Ralph Lauren establishes the Polo label with an instantly successful line of ties. In direct opposition to the narrow ties and conventional styles of the time, Lauren designs wide, handmade ties using unexpected, flamboyant, opulent materials. The ties quickly become a menswear status item. ?A tie was the way a man expressed himself. I believed that men were ready for something new and different. They didn?t want to look as if they worked for IBM. A beautiful tie was an expression of quality, taste, style.? Already interested in promoting a lifestyle with his ties, Ralph Lauren names his line after a sport that embodies a world of d... The ABC's of Hawaiian Aloha ShirtsThe following are my opinions and observations based upon my experience in selling hundreds of Hawaiian aloha shirts over the past years. Many of the terms are used in my listing descriptions so it's my intention that this guide will benefit the consumer in making better informed buying decisions. I'm now able to tell the brand and material of an aloha shirt someone else is wearing...most of the time! Yes, sometimes I even ask them, if it is an especially nice looking shirt...then I compliment them. This is a continuing work in progress and I hope you enjoy it.
*A*
Aloha: Celebrates the spirit of the Islands...laid-back, easy-going, and just plain fun.
Andrade: Island specialty men's clothing retailer.
Anthurium: Easily recognizable heart-shaped flowers in Hawaii; usually white. Often found in Aloha shirt designs/patterns.
*B*
Bamboo: Popular theme in patterns. Sometimes used for buttons.
Barkcloth: Very dense, textured material.
Bluewater Wear: Made in the continental USA. Themes reflect the coastal lifestyle.
Bottom hem: The bottom hem of aloha shirts are always cut straight for wearing outside of pants or shorts. Often-times, side vents (slits) are also included. Rarely, I have seen extra-long tails (back of shirt, bottom hem) on Hawaiian shirts.
Breadfruit: Tropical Hawaiian tree with large, thick leaves with lobes. The fruit is light green. Often used in shirt prints.
Buttons: Coconut wood is still the most desired. Many vintage shirts have metal buttons. Plastic is the most common as is wood. Oyster and abalone shell are exquisite being found mainly with top-of-the-line Tori Richard shirts.
*C*
Collar: The traditonal aloha shirt has a large pointed collar. Shirts have evolved to a more tailored look with button-down coll... FAKE ABERCROMBIE Beware! Men's polo shirts fakesMost seller's of Abercrombie Men's shirts are genuine and real. But there are tell tale signs of fakes.... 1. Ones that sell in mass quantity of the same identical shirts or just mass amount of shirt period. They sell for prices in the $8-15 range. There has been couple sellers selling like over 100 shirts at once. Many copy or imitation shirts are coming from overseas, like hong kong which is a neighboring country to china where a huge flow of imitations are coming through..Believe me, I went there and saw it with my own eyes. Its unbelievable how buyers would rather pay $3-4 less for a fake and on top of that wait at least a longer week because they are coming from overseas. I wish I can educate more buyers but the only way I can gain exposure are readers like you clicking the YES button below to gain more popularity in search ranking. 2. Check too see that the buttons are nice and thick and engraved with the moose insignia or AF. Back of the button should a be pearl white color as the front is ivory color. (Does not always apply to older generation shirts or women's shirts) 3. The slot where the button goes through should be nicely woven exposing good amount of thread. 3.Overall feel of the shirt should feel nice and think not thin and see through. The collars should feel thick and tightly woven. Not thin and flimsy. 4. Check the label, the letters should be very slightly raised and embossed. 5. Check to see the label is stitched on top of a fabric so that there is a piece of fabric between the shirt and the label. (May not always apply to older generation shirts.) 6. The double layer neck tape fabric should be nicely sewn onto the collar and nice and thick. I see... A genuine Lacoste polo shirt can be distinguished fromA genuine Lacoste polo shirt can be distinguished from a counterfeit from the following: "Mother of pearl" buttons - buttons made out of mother of pearl and are exclusive to genuine Lacoste shirts. Since mother of pearl is a naturally occurring substance, no two buttons should be exactly the same in appearance. These buttons should be devoid of any lettering or logos. Also, the buttonholes are horizontal positioned and perpendicular to the two holes on each button. In polo shirts for men, the crocodile is embroidered on a patch then hand sewn onto the shirt, not directly on the shirt. In polo shirts for women, it is embroidered onto the shirt. Tag is included with a genuine code instead of a generic one. (The generic one is usually 8558.) The size is always a number (European sizes 34, 36, 38 etc./US sold shirts are numerically sized as 3,4,5 etc.) not a letter (S, M, L) and is on the same tag with the logo and brand name. The crocodile logo should be about halfway between the second button and placket. It should never be side-by-side with the placket. The real Lacoste crocodile logo is very detailed. It will be stitched on with high-quality thread and have clear colors and lines. On a real logo, the claws are visible and the tail is rather thin and ends in a pointy tip. The faux logos usually have rounded paws, super-wide mouths and a fatter tail that ends in a blunt tip. HOW TO SPOT A FAKE POLO RALPH LAUREN SHIRT"MY GOD!!! I BOUGHT A FAKE RALPH LAUREN SHIRT!!!" u shouted hysterically all around your house when u realized that the shirt u bought is a fake one!!dont let this happen.!!! Here (PICTURES INCLUDED FOR EASE OF COMPARISON) I have compared between the authentic and the fake ralph lauren and a lot of differences can be spotted..below are the simplest guide lines to be followed before u bid or buy which i can find very helpful.... above are 2 yarmouth ralph lauren dress shirt..at a glance u cant spotted which one is the fake one..for your info. the yellow shirt is the authentic shirt and the blue shirt is the fake..let us go to the detail of the shirts for comparison.. ask a close up picture of the pony logo embroided on the chest..a fake ralph lauren pony wont be so detail..and u can see that the colour thread tailored for the logo will be mixed up with one or more colour..for a multi colour pony logo..the authentic ralph lauren have a dark brown colour for the horse not light brown.. a. solid colour pony logo AUTHENTIC ..a very fine solid colour thread.. FAKE ..a few white thread (on the pony leg) mixed with red thread b. multi colour pony logo Nine Dress Shirt Collars and Two Dress Shirt Cuffs In this article, the DeCalo Fashion Italian menswear expert introduces nine important types of dress shirt collars and two different types of cuffs Turndown collars The most formal dress shirt collar today is also the most common. Known also by the name "straight-point collar," the turndown collar will vary in the length of the tips and their distance from each other, but essentially consists of a wide neck and relatively long points that extend downward to form a triangular opening at the neck that is ideal for showcasing the knot of your necktie. Men with short necks can use a shorter collar to lengthen the appearance of the neck. Men with long necks can use a longer collar to make their necks appear shorter. Cutaway collars Also called the "wide spread collar," the cutaway collar is like a turndown collar with the points pushed as far apart as possible. This leaves a wide gap at the neck of the dress shirt that allows even wide necktie knots to be displayed prominently. The cutaway collar is widely considered more elegant than a turndown collar. Roll collar Invented in the US, the roll collar is essentially a long, wide turn down collar with buttons at the collar tips. Well-made roll collars generally have a soft finish. Combined with the buttoned tips, the finish gives your dress shirt a less formal look than other collars. The roll co... 6 years ago I would never have thought someone could get away with selling a fake on ebay. especially not a "power seller" who buy in "large quantities" but happens to ship straight from hong kong. ha. The thin about one seller I purchased from is that the fake was extremely good. very very detailed stitching with high quality cotton and everything on it as kosher as can be. but you do a blindfold test of those two with two others from ebay and 20 in my closet from major retailers in the usa and you will know the difference. some people say polos just have snug fit in comparison to something else. fine. so i buy the larger size so i won't have snugger fit. but i bought same exact product from power seller who guaranteed authenticiy. but the only way you would know is if you were measuring the sections of cloth from seem to seem. the killer is I LOVE THE SHIRTS. THey are beautiful. but after wearing polos for 20+ years and having 40 (at least) of the exact same shirt in multiple numbers of multiple colors, the only place where there is any variation in fit or appearance is these two shirts. so what good does it do you? i don't know. unless you are a little chubby and don't want the garmet sticking to you, you probably wont notice. it is just too bad that it happens. i have seen the fakes and these did not look like fakes. but when i put them on, there were obvious differences in shoulders, arms, length and width from the exact same color, size and line/style that i buy here. so i am going to stick to TJMAx, dillards, foleys, neimans and the polo shop and outlet. and unless it is very well priced, you should too. or just b uy two sizes too big!
This guide will be an overview to imitation products with future guides exploring specifics in shirts/pants/brands/silhouettes/etc. First let me say that as of this writing have sold over 4,000 shirts manufactured by Polo Ralph Lauren and the various brands that fall under their umbrella. For the remainder of this guide I will use PRL to refer to Polo Ralph Lauren. PRL is one of the most commonly recognized brands for quality product, when you see the polo player logo (probably the most well known of the various emblems used by PRL) you know it is a quality item and will last for several years. Imitations are an inferior product in material and/or workmanship, they are taking advantage of the brand and harm the brand at the same time. They usually do not fit the same and never look as good after a few trips to the washer/dryer. Lets talk in general terms, what you should look for, and what to expect. If purchasing from eBay, or other web site, you can not see or touch the actual item. You have to go by the picture, description and the seller?s reputation. This makes it a little more difficult to decide what is authentic and what is not. Many people have certain ideas about why a certain shirt on eBay is or is not an imitation. Lets discuss some of the most common. 1. If it is not at polo.com it has to be fake. Not necessarily. The polo.com website changes available stock very, very often. If an item is not listed on the polo.com it is not automatically an imitation. It could have been removed days or weeks prior or PRL did not include the item on their site. Department stores will also have items available that are no longer on the Polo.com website 2. It is in a poly bag, it must be real. False. Next time you are in a departme... Ever wonder why some Vintage Hawaiian shirts sell for $100's and even $1000's and others only for a few dollars or less? The best resource book available is called The Hawaiian Shirt written by H. Thomas Steele. Over 100 pages show full-color photos of genuine vintage Hawaiian shirts from the 30's, 40's & 50's. Vintage shirts were originally made of silk, rayon or 100% cotton with embroidered Made in Hawaii labels. Authentic label names included: Aloha, The Kahala, Kamehameha, Waikiki Sports, Surfriders, Royal Hawaiian, Paradise, Champion Kahanamoku, Watumull's, Iolani, Pali Hawaiian Style, McInerny's, Hawaiiana, Poi Pounder Tog, Shaneen's, Kalakaua, Malihini, Made in California and most, if not all of these old labels had a predominant palm tree motifs no matter what coast (California) or Hawaii, they came from. Finally, some shirts had genuine coconut buttons while others just had plain plastic white buttons. Regardless, look for shirts with historic/exotic scenes, tropical flowers, surfing and scenes from Polynesian legends, you just might find that GENUINE, vintage Hawaiian shirt, if you're lucky! There are hundreds of sellers out there getting all of their Abercrombie items from China or some other foreign country. Most sellers buy their items in bulk (large) orders to get a big discount on them. This is the reason that they can sell their items for so cheap. These sellers scam buyers all the time telling them that they are genuine authentic Abercrombie products. This guide will tell you how to spot these fake Abercrombie products and tell you how to find the authentic ones. The first thing is watch out for the sellers that have a lot of the same item. Abercrombie does not distribute their products to other companys, they only sell their products in stores or online. If you see a seller that has 5 pairs of the same Abercrombie jeans on ebay then they're probably fake. Look for the quality of the products your buying. If you're looking for Ezra Fitch jeans make sure to ask for a picture of the back leather patch. There's more details on that in my other guide which you can get to here: http://reviews.ebay.com/How-To-Find-Authentic-Abercrombie-Ezra-Fitch-Jeans_W0QQugidZ10000000001299390?ssPageName=BUYGD:CAT:-1:SEARCH:2 If you're buying Abercrombie polos look at the buttons. All Abercrombie polos shirts have 2 buttons and 2 buttons only. If there's 3 it's fake. The seam where the buttons are located are really chunky. They're not thin like a lot of the fake polos that you'll see. Also look for knicking and grinding on the collar and the buttom hem. If you can't see a good picture of the collar ask for one from the seller.&... I have bought 8 different "Ralph Lauren Pink Pony" items on EBay over the last 6 months or so. All of them said they were "authentic". I am not sure of the authenticity of any of them, if they are authentic they are definately seconds. I bought 2 polos from 2 different sellers, I also happen to already own the same Big Pony polos that I had bought in a Ralph Lauren store in other colors. The two that I bought from EBay were at least 5 inches shorter than than the originals bought at the Lauren store (yes they were the same size and style). They were pretty much useless to me, so I gave them to my daughter who is a size 4, she wore them once and after I washed them they shrunk so badly that they would now maybe fit a small child, and again, I stress maybe. They were labeled womens large, I would say they are equivalent to a childs size 10 now....Buyers beware, you get what you pay for. I also bought 2 different tote bags, one was a "mini" my fault because I did not realize that the mini that they were selling was not the same as in the Lauren stores, also the other bag I bought does not even exist in the Lauren stores, it is similar, but it is not the same thing....again buyers beware you get what you pay for. One last thing to add, I once was a buyer for a very prestigious department store and Lauren was one of the lines I bought, I guess I thought that I was getting a bargain, but my money would have been better spent buying 2 items at regular price than having 8 items that just sit in my closet, that I will be donating to charity later this year.
