🔍 Before You Post

For Identification

The first place to look is always at the white care tags. Read the information here to understand how to decode the style codes and manufacture dates on your product. Look for the 4 or 5-digit style number (e.g., 12701) or the Model Name printed on the tag.

For Authenticity

You can perform a hands-on inspection. Key things to look for are:

• Embroidery: High-quality, precise stitching with no "connected" threads between letters.
• Seam Taping: Consistent width (usually 8mm or 13mm) and cleanly applied with no lifting or bubbling.
• Hardware: Smooth operation of YKK zippers and high-quality plastic adjusters.

If you still aren't sure, post your photos below for community review.

📸 Photo Requirements

To get an accurate answer, your post must include clear, well-lit photos of:

1. The overall item: Full shots of the front and back.
2. Care tags: The white tags (usually found in the left-side hip seam or inside a pocket).
3. The Details: Close-ups of the logo (embroidery or heat transfer), main zippers, hem adjusters, and cuff tabs.
