Legit Checks

[Usul]

Anyone ever dealt with rakuten.com ? Are they legit or some kind of Chinese mass market

I'm interested in this ring, can't tell if authentic:

What sets me off is that they got every size available. Any thoughts on this?

there are a few bbs fakes going arround....but this one caught my eye.
has to be a fake?! As far as i know bbs never made a hoody like this, and the seasons which had that geometric back didnt use the chunky zippers. the tags looks strange too.

I would always look at the leather tag first, as the fakes can never replicate it properly to my knowledge. As seen on this one, when compared to my own, it looks too stiff and uniform (lettering is also off).

Just wondering if these tags seem legit, the piece has been up for quite some time and I'm a little hesitant...

A friend who works at at upscale clothing store in NYC told me that management has informed the staff that they need to not only be vigilant about the outright theft of garments but also tags being cut from garments. Is there actually an underground market for tags? Someone crafty enough to reproduce the clothing must also be able to create tags, right?

Can a guy get arrested for cutting a tag from a Balenciaga jacket?

Well, the tag comes with the jacket.. So if you cut the tag off and take it, it's still theft, no?

Can someone tell me whether this is just a rare manufacture error because the rick tag in the back seem a bit close to each other[/url]

somebody about to get scammed big time with FAKE Boris Bidjan Saberi ...

The exposed seam/excess fabric sticking out for the back of the collar is more worrisome to me. All my single/double layer RO tees are cleanly finished there. This sloppy looking detail would keep me from making any gamble on this piece.

Ah alright thanks...i bought this on yahoo auction already and its odd because the fabric and silhouette feels pretty much like my other double layered tees

For obvious fakes on ebay, there is a "report item" function (that I just used on that "Boris" hoodie). I would hate to see someone spending that kind of money on a fake article.

Paging Shucks and other RO experts.


I just got some cargobaskets in the mail. Overall shape/construction seems exactly right. There is one detail that I'm unsure on. That's the insoles. The insole in my creepers is a thick, substantial leather and the insole in my ramones is sompletely wrecked so it's hard to compare.

The insole on these cargobaskets seems to be a thin, cushioned leather. On one of the shoes it has drifted slightly. The material underneath is quite hard white rubber.

Have I been tricked or is this just the way rick sneaks are made?



thanks!



edit:

Do fakes even have raccagni zips? If not, then I'm good.

[DudleyGray]

Yes, fakes can and have had Raccagni zips. I've never had that issue on any of my Rick shoes, but I don't have cargos.

...

What about the small Rick Owens "logo" on the sole?

[apathy!]

Yes the Rick Owens logo on the sole is done perfectly.


Thanks for the help. If someone could take a pic inside their cargos it would be greatly appreciated.


Cheers
