True Religion Fake's?

[domino_jono]

Was wondering if anyone knew if there are any True Religion fakes out there? Im looking at some on ebay which are priced around £40, I just thought this was extremely cheap for True Religion. Anyone know any give away indicators of fakes??

A friend of mine who has quite a grasp on fakes (for some reason... ô_O) said he has seen True Religion fakes before in places as Thailand and China, so probably yes, there do exist fakes.

As of indicators, it can be hard to judge on the internet, if you can't find the model you're buying on any internet outlet or anything, that is a good general pointer.

True Religion is wack. Don't even bother and get some APCs.

In pajamas, I snuck out to watch Santa, now look at Killa, you gon' watch Santana.

Not keen on APC's, They are too plain. Depends what you're looking for. I agree that True Religions aren't the greatest jean I ever saw, but for £40 who can complain?

I wouldn't wear em' if they were handing them out for free!

To be fair, If i'd have wanted to know your opinion on True Religion I would have put this title..."What are your opinions of True Religion?" Unfortunately Im still no closer to getting my question answered, cheers anyway though

Not meaning to offend but you are asking about True Religion.

If the price is outrageously good (why would it be?).... They're FAKE!

Pretty simple.

It's like "hey there's a bape shirt online for $29 US do you think its fake?"

Gee..

I understand the theory behind the whole low price = fake thing, but these jeans are pretty rare in the UK and i wouldn't have thought the counterfeiters would have got to True Religion yet......on the other hand, if they are really common in the States then this might be the case. Hence me asking the question......"Are there any fakes out there"

[stickykrylon]

the brand blows anyway.

dig.

[themdouble]

Of course!

To the last 2 posts... :-)

I think people are failing to understand the point of my post.........never mind at least I know that a couple of people don't like True Religion, nice one!

domino, the answer is yes. ebay is full of true religion fakes, as well as diesel, seven, paper...and whatever brands justin timberlake is known to have worn.

but, honestly, I have seen real true religion jeans (twisted joey) up close and the quality is pretty bad for a $200+ pair of jeans. with that in mind, i don't think the fakes are that far off anyway.

if you really are going for a pair, buy from a reputable jeans dealer (one with several hundreds feedbacks and not from thailand, singapore, brazil or china). prices will be higher than the fakes, but you will save at least 30% off list price.

thanks for the info........I normally buy my jeans from reputable shops in fact I have just bought a pair of Seal Kays, but if you find Seal Kay on ebay, you can guarantee they are not fake as there is no point in faking them, the market is just not there because this is a brand unlike diesel etc that is not known by the masses, therefore remains pretty exclusive. I had no idea that True Religion was so popular in the states, it is pretty rare in the UK.

There is LVC fakes, which is quite a small brand _anyway_, and I have also spotted Denime fakes, yes, DENIME fakes, there were this tag printed inside that said 'Replica' and the selvage was overlocked incredibly tight so it was difficult to see from, I say, 2 yards away.

But yeah, go for an nice dealer and check feedback. That is all that really matters.

I had no clue True Religion even made men's jeans...

True Religion jeans are forgeries of 2002 model Levi's RED, so I guess all of them are fakes of some sort.

True religions are very popular in US.

Same things go for fakes with them, color, stitching is off.

I also heard the "destroyed" ones are most common fakes because they are most popular.
