How to tell Fake Boss Ties

I'm a proud owner of a few Real Boss ties. They are very well made and are priced around $80-120 (retail), 49$(outlet). Fake Boss ties are made from a gepany in China that could put any gepany logo and tag onto ties that they make. Here are how to tell the difference between a real Boss tie and a Fake boss tie. (The real tie is blue and the fake is black/white)
1) Tag: The real tie's tag will be partially covered by the fabric (blue tie), you won't be able to read the full word "Italy" unless you lift up the fabric. While the fake tie (black/white) will have its tag in the open, and you can easily read the entire tag. The real tag's two sides will be very hard to seperate, while the fake one will be easily seperatable with a thumb and index finger.

2) Back: The back of the real tie will have so many stitches between the two folds that it is impossible to stick your pinkie through. While the Fake one (shown here) will have less stitches and they will be further apart, so you can stick your pinkie through them.

3) Boss Logo: The real boss logo will have "Boss" and below it "Hugo Boss" very well stitched on to the cloth, if you turn the thing inside out, you will not see the word "Hugo Boss" on the back. The fake will also have bigger letters and you will be able to see little dimples in the stitching of "Boss" and "Hugo boss"
.
4) Size of Tie: The real boss tie will be 3.5 inches at its widest point, while the fake will be 3.9 inches at its widest point.(see how the real tie is smaller than the fake [under the small] in this picture)
Other things to watch for:
- If the seller is from China, It's probably fake. There are also fake sellers from Britain and Taiwan
- Good seller Feedback means nothing, most people don't know the difference between a fake and a real. the real ties has small differences like the feel of fabric, the color, durability that makes it much better.
- super low prices (seriously you cannot get designer clothing for super cheap, its just not possible)
- The box that it gees in, the real box for Hugo Boss has the "Hugo Boss" in very small print while the fake box will have it in big print.
Email me if you any questions.
