Spotting Fake Diesel Jeans On eBay

EBay is a great place to get premium jeans at a reduced price but one thing you have to be extra careful about is fakes. EBay does not actively police every auction and therefore it is reasonably easy to put counterfeit items up for sale. Here (courtesy of eBay) is what to look for if you want to be sure you are buying genuine Diesel jeans.

Micro-Stitching: Below the 'Made in Italy' marking, there is silvery white stitching that when you look closely will say 'Diesel'.

Small Numbers: Tiny, hard to read numbers appear above the Indian head tag inside authentic jeans

Distress and rip marks: Authentic Diesel jeans are hand-distressed while fakes are typically created by machine. Due to this, fake jeans distress marks may appear less-realistic and more like scratches or precise rips.

I have seen diesel jeans on ebay that look exactly like ones on diesel site and stores, but they have the (R) logo on the diesel coin pocket label. Does that mean they are fake?

Check the link i added..
