To honor Narciso\\\'s idea, and try to clean up some of the authenticity clutter, please use this thread to ask "is this real?"

by consolidating all of the threads on authentication - we can clean up the diesel section, and lend a helping hand to those unsure of a pair's authenticity.

so please, post all authentication questions and pictures in this thread - thanks for your time!

Hi, I'm new. I figured I'd add the first authenticity check on this post. These are a pair of jeans I've had a while, and I wanted to know what they really were. It's weird how the tag says "made in hong kong." Maybe there's a legit story behind this?

the curvature of those whiskers is unlike real pairs, and is extremely similar to the parallel whiskers that can be found on many fakes

i still think they ones in question are fake.

the whiskers that do curve, curve upward slightly, rather than downward "U"

oh, and congrats on the 82W! ill ship them out asap!
