Cav Empt takes its name from caveat emptor, buyer beware, which is fair advice for a label whose prints and tags change every season. A Cav Empt authenticity check compares the C.E neck label, care tags, print or embroidery, dye and stitching with references from the same season, and treats the country on the label as one detail rather than proof.

Featured questions

Have more questions? Visit our Help Center

Does a Made in Japan label prove Cav Empt is real?

No. The country line is part of the label text, and label text is what copies reproduce most easily. We check the weave, the font and the stitching of the label and the rest of the piece against references for that style and season, and treat the country as one detail.

How do I spot a fake Cav Empt hoodie or tee?

Photograph the neck label, every care tag, the print up close, including small text, and the ribbing and seams. A professional authenticator compares each detail with verified Cav Empt references and returns a verdict, Authentic or Fake.

Which Cav Empt pieces do you authenticate?

Hoodies, sweatshirts, tees, jackets, pants and accessories from any season. Each piece is compared with references from its own collection, since prints and tags change from one season to the next.

Can you check Cav Empt before I buy it on Grailed or eBay?

Yes. Ask the seller for photos of the full front and back, the neck label, every care tag and the print up close, and upload them before you pay. A professional authenticator gives you a verdict, Authentic or Fake.

Which photos should I upload for authentication?

For the most accurate and quick authentication process, we advise you to upload clear photos of the areas visible when clicking 'Upload photos' on this page. We quickly determine if the uploaded photo meets our criteria. If your photos do not meet the criteria, you will receive a request for more and/or clearer photos. Check out Photo Instructions to find clear examples for each detail.

How long does LegitGrails authentication process take?

We provide a range of authentication response times to suit your needs, with options including 12 hours, 6 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes.
