Most fake Stüssy is hoodies and tees with a copied script logo, and there are fake pairs of its Nike collaborations too. Stüssy has made clothing since the early 1980s and its neck tags vary by era, which helps date vintage pieces and exposes fakes that mix eras. A Stüssy authenticity check covers the neck tag, wash tag, logo print or embroidery, stitching and fabric.

What we check on Stussy
How to tell a real Stussy from a fake
The neck tag is the first thing we check on a Stussy piece: the script logo, the weave and the wording have to match tags from the same era. The wash tag and the logo print then have to agree.
01
Neck tag
Script logo shape, weave, size wording and stitching, compared with tags from the same era.
02
Wash tag
Placement, fabric line, fonts and how cleanly the tag is sewn in.
03
Logo print or embroidery
Script logo proportions, ink texture or thread density, and placement on the garment.
04
Era markers
Tag color, registered mark and country of origin against the period. A mix of eras is a warning sign.
05
Stitching
Hems, collar and cuffs. Older tees are often single stitched, newer ones double stitched.
06
Fabric
Weight, knit and color against the season or period.
07
Collaboration sneakers
For Nike x Stussy pairs: shape, swoosh, size tag, insole and box label against the release.

We know of no serial number or code lookup for Stussy clothing. Authenticity comes from the neck tag, the wash tag, the logo print and the construction, which is what we check.
Start with the neck tag: the script logo, the weave and the size wording should match tags from the same season. Then compare the wash tag, the logo print or embroidery and the stitching. A professional authenticator checks each detail from your photos and returns a verdict, Authentic or Fake.
Yes. Stussy tags have changed color and wording over the decades, so we compare a vintage piece with tags, stitching and origin labels from its own era. A tag from one period on a garment from another is a warning sign.
Yes. Collaboration pairs such as the Air Zoom Spiridon Cage 2 are checked like any Nike release: shape, swoosh, size tag, insole, stitching and box label. On the Spiridon, a bulky toe box or a swoosh with rounded ends is a common sign of a copy.
Yes. Ask the seller for photos of the front and back, the neck tag, the wash tag and the logo up close, then upload them before you pay. You get a verdict, Authentic or Fake, from a professional authenticator.
Yes. Send photos of the front logo, the inside tags, the sweatband, the closure at the back and the stitching. A professional authenticator compares them with references for that cap and returns a verdict, Authentic or Fake.
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.
