How to tell the authenticity of G-STAR

1. GS zipper is No. 7 zipper. This zipper is only available in YKK factories in Japan. Small factories in China cannot make No. 7 zippers. No. 8 zippers, so anti-cargo manufacturers in China can only use No. 8 zippers instead. Attentive friends will find that if you look closely, there will be an obvious number 7 on the back of the GS training head. Of course, not all are size 7, such as some sweatshirts, pants, etc. For example, Adidas uses 4T and 5T, while GS mostly uses 5N (T-shirts and sweaters) or S 4YG (pants). Although the styles are different, the zippers are basically the same. Leather jacket: generally No. 7, denim top No. 7, cotton coat No. 7, zipper T-shirt 5N, pants S 4YG. There are also individual styles that are different, such as 61006 and this year’s plaid coat, which has an A on the back. Specific distinction: YKK’s genuine zipper rack is triangular, while the fake one is flat. The letters behind the zipper puller are clear, and like the clothes, they also have numbers, and No. 7 is a Japanese YKK product. There is only one in the world, and it is exclusive to GS. This is the most effective identification method. China’s fakes generally use No. 8. If you don’t believe it, take a look. (I haven’t referenced women’s clothing, so I don’t dare to take off MM’s pants or clothes casually)

2. The letters on the outer buttons are clear and smooth, while the inner buttons are slightly thicker. It is actually difficult to distinguish them. After all, they are fake. There are too many goods, but in view of the market situation in the industry, large and good quality manufacturers will only make goods if they need 10,000 buttons. Therefore, counterfeiters can only use some inferior goods or goods from small factories instead, so it is not difficult to see.

3. Embroidery. I have seen that the embroidery of some fake styles has turned into printing. For example, 55198, there are many on TAOBAO. You will find that they are printed, haha.

4 , GS Even if it is a model produced in China, the fabric is imported from the Netherlands. Compared with some foreign materials of the same style, the fabrics used for real DENIM RAW and fakes are different in terms of density, grams and manufacturing process. Big difference. If you buy a fake, you will be very depressed to find out how good my washing effect is.

5. The GS label is usually 2 pieces, one greenish gray and one white. There are three DENIM RAWs, one green and gray and two white. Beautifully printed. There is a serial number on the pewter. CHOPPER JKT (series) AGW is the item number, such as: 41049, which probably means 04 styles. 1 is the jacket and 049 is the style number. There is no difference between men and women. COL is the color, usually 976 is black, 111 is off-white, and 039 is pure white (it seems to be an international standard). I don’t need to say the SIZE below. The white label has Chinese instructions printed on it, including safety technical standards: A or B. National product technical standard GB/T or FZ. DENIM RAW pants or clothes will have an additional washing and dyeing warning. Some styles include plastic shields or beautifully printed small objects. Some styles, especially handmade ones, will have cloth stickers printed on them. There is a problem with the care label of GS sold abroad. There is only one size label under the trademark on the back, such as S M L, etc. There will be an extra care label in the seam of the clothes next to it than the domestic styles. It says: Made in China, CA41169 ingredients.

The white wash water mark is white silk, and the front is: Made in China Clothing Series RE104506 CA41169 Manufacturing Ingredients GS Trademark. If it is a jacket, there will be some more manufacturer information under the GS trademark, but not for T-shirts. Washing instructions are on the back of the white wash water label. The GS hangtag sold abroad only has a green one. There is no excess white, and there are some white in some areas.

6. The labels in the clothes are relatively exquisite, with washing instructions in Chinese and English on the front and back, and the dark label next to them indicates the clothes. Code number: 175/72A W29 L32, etc. W is the number, L is the length. 175 is also the number, and 72A is the hip size. Some models have a large white printed LOGO on the back. The fabric is yellow-white and has a very old feel. The fakes are pure white, and some are even very XX.

7. About fakes. There are generally two versions of fakes. One is made in Zhejiang, which is extremely fake, with cut corners, rough workmanship, and fake fabrics. There is even no such version at all! A fake product launched this winter turned out to be a Levi’s style! You can search it on TAOBAO, haha. One is Guangdong products. The handmade materials and manufacturing techniques of these products are good, but the dressings (buttons, zippers and wash labels) are really not flattering. How many cents does a small button cost? A zipper puller is about 2 cents. There are also pattern making fees and so on. Each button starts at 10,000, so you can imagine. . . . . As a result, counterfeiters usually get over it. In fact, to put it bluntly, if you are really willing to spend such a large cost, it is probably difficult to tell the difference. Regarding the products on EBAY and TAOBAO, G friends are advised not to buy them. Only individual purchasers can buy genuine products, and 90% are fakes and imitations. Once again, I emphasize that GS does not chase the last order. Unless foreigners use the style to produce fakes. Haha, LV bags are carried all over the streets in China, why don’t foreigners carry them? hehe.

8. Regarding foreign trade, many people claim to have a very good relationship with the factory, and they can get follow-up orders or tail orders. It is all nonsense. A brand manufacturer will only choose one factory to make its products. For example, GS only has one factory in China. Factory management is very strict. It is impossible to take clothes out casually. Everyone on the assembly line will keep count. It is even more stringent when it comes to making finished products. Of course, when the factory is tight, it is possible to ask other factories to help make it, but if it only makes 1,000 pieces of clothing, the factory will only prepare 1,001 pieces of materials! Don’t even think about getting more! If you are lucky enough to get one, it can only be a substandard product that has not been washed. The so-called foreign trade clothing is actually just factory samples for foreign businessmen to order. Of course, there are also some unscrupulous manufacturers who modify the styles of some famous brands to make samples, such as the famous AK and Guangzhou A K. These are products that are flooding Singapore! Foreigners can also place orders for fake goods, but there are still only a few people who dare to do so, such as those small factories.

9. Regarding why clothes bought from specialty stores sometimes feel very rough. The characteristic of GS is that it is thick and uses local methods to make denim pants. If the color becomes lighter and more threads appear the more you wash it, it’s not surprising, it’s special, don’t we just like this.

10. Regarding styles, GS’s Dutch head office will hold fashion conferences two quarters in advance, allowing agents from various countries to choose styles. After paying the design fee, they can produce them. Of course, it may not be exclusive production. . After the Chinese general agent makes the design drawings into sample clothes, he will hold an ordering meeting in China, and then the agents in each province will select styles and place orders at the ordering meeting. The factory then produces and ships the goods on time. For example, spring and summer clothes are now produced. Foreigners will buy models that are not available abroad. Likewise, some of our styles must be imported. But it doesn’t seem to be many, because as I just said, it doesn’t seem to be an exclusive monopoly on any one model. If you have friends in specialty stores, you should know that you have a small manual with all the styles of the year. It is the original design drawing, not a picture album.

11. About price. Dutch companies account for about 20%, after all, they depend on fabric design fees and so on. Domestic agents are about 30%, operating costs, manufacturing costs, etc. Provincial agents will ultimately sell based on the price tag. Generally, provincial agents offer 50% off or 55% off. Then the rest is the operating cost, including venue, business tax, labor expenses and various other expenses. In fact, you can't make a lot of money. In fact, the maximum cost of a pair of pants will not exceed 50-70 yuan, but you all know why they are so expensive. Foreign prices are definitely more expensive than domestic ones, or even half as expensive. Of course, not all of them are made in China. There are also ones produced in Italy and other countries. They feel a little better than domestic fabrics, but it is basically impossible to tell. The quality of the fabric is related to the batch number of the fabric. As for the production process, they are all the same. If a foreign friend likes the style but thinks it is too expensive, you can ask a domestic friend to buy it for you.

12. Regarding foreign monopoly issues. Like Hong Kong, Vietnam and other regions, foreign countries belong to free trade zones, so sometimes we cannot find franchise stores like those in China, but generally large shopping malls will have GS counters. If you G friends want to buy abroad, But when you can't find a specialty store, try to go to a large shopping mall to buy. After all, it's better to be careful to prevent the overflow of goods.
