The fastest way to spot a fake Cav Empt is to read three things in order: the neck label typography, the print quality up close, and the weight of the cotton blank. Cav Empt keeps its branding subtle, so the fakes fail on execution rather than an obvious logo. Here are the six checks I run before I trust one.
Real Chrome Hearts gives itself away in three places: the .925 stamp, the weight of the silver, and the crispness of the cross detailing. The brand only sells through its own boutiques, so the resale market is flooded with fakes. Knowing these tells before you buy saves you from an expensive mistake.
