Step two Locate the logo on the tags or on the shirt. Often, the CA for Christian Audigier is not listed on the tags or on the clothing itself if it is a knock-off. Christian Audigier's full name, however, is often printed on the tag and the shirt, even on knock-offs so look for the initials to choose the actual from the fake.

Step one Check the tags of the clothing. Actual Ed Hardy tags are usually stuck on or sewn in to the shirt as against hanging off of the shirt. Be positive that the colors on the tag can be compared to the same Ed Hardy shirt.

Step two Feel the fabric and the texture of the text on the shirt. Usually knock-offs will have a slightly shiny look with a smooth texture. The actual Ed Hardy shirts are usually done with a fabric paint that feels rough when compared. This type of paint is more long lasting as against the shiny iron-on text.

Step two Look for detail. In authentic Ed Hardy shirts, the images are detailed, down to even the smallest designs. In knock-offs, the images are usually less detailed, on the smaller designs. Graphics on actual Ed Hardy clothing are usually narrow and detailed and not block-like compared to the fakes.

Step 6 Check the shirt for rhinestones. Usually Ed Hardy shirts for ladies contain rhinestones and on similar knock-offs, they usually fail to put the rhinestones on the shirt.

Step two Notice any extra" designs. If the name Christian Audigier, CA, or Ed Hardy is printed on the shirt repeatedly, chances are it is a knock-off. The actual shirts usually do not contain so lots of of the same designs.

Step 7 Compare your clothing with pics of the clothing on the official Ed Hardy net site.
