Replica stores now copy Gallery Dept. logos, tags and even the paint splatter on flares, logo tees and hats. Hand-painted pieces are never identical, so small paint differences are normal, while two listings with the same splatter are a warning. A Gallery Dept. authentication checks the logo print, neck and back labels, wash tags, stitching and how the paint sits on the fabric.

What we check on Gallery Dept.
How to tell a real Gallery Dept. from a fake
On Gallery Dept. tees, the orange inside label is the first check: on fakes its shade, stitching or font is often off. The logo print and tags settle most other pieces.
01
Orange inside label
On tees, a balanced orange shade, centered placement, clean stitching and a crisp font.
02
Logo print
Font of the Gallery Dept. or Dept de la Galerie logo, especially the curve of the R and the small gap in the G.
03
Neck tag
Stitched in, not printed, with even edges and consistent lettering.
04
Wash and care tags
Text, font weight and how neatly the tags are sewn in, including the Made in USA label on tees.
05
Paint and distressing
Natural-looking paint and wear with texture and depth, not flat prints or overdone distressing.
06
Stitching
Neat, minimal stitching on inside tags, hems and flares.
07
Fabric
Heavy jersey, fleece or denim with a dense feel, never thin or see-through.

Yes. Ask the seller for photos of the front and back, the logo, every label and tag and the paint up close, and upload them before you pay. LegitGrails does not sell Gallery Dept., we only authenticate it.
Start with the orange label inside. On genuine tees it is centered, cleanly stitched and a balanced orange, while fakes are often crooked, off-color or set in the wrong font. Then compare the G and R in the logo, the Made in USA label and the neck tag with verified references.
Paint and distressing vary by hand, so we judge them on how they are applied, not on an exact match. Labels, tags, print and construction are consistent, and those are where fakes fail.
Yes. Gallery Dept. uses both logo versions, so seeing one or the other is not a sign of a fake. What matters is the font, especially the R and the G, the print quality and the placement for that style.
Not one that we know of. We know of no official lookup, so a professional authenticator checks the labels, the print, the paint and the construction.
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.
We provide a range of authentication response times to suit your needs, with options including 12 hours, 6 hours, 2 hours, and 30 minutes.
