How to Spot an Authentic Aéropostale Shirt from a Fake One

 There are limitless number of online sellers selling Aéropostale shirts nowadays. I have listed down some comparison and observation I made on how to spot the real ones from not.

1. The “é” on the Aéropostale should have an accent over it. The scripted “t” on some designs should be short not extended.  The print does not look cheap either or something that can easily fade or threads almost coming out.


2. The cloth should be soft in texture and not rough.
3. The printed brand and other details on the neck side with the serial number that complements the rectangular patch found on the inside lower left part of the shirt.


4. If someone sells you an Aéropostale that is too cheap, then think twice and be more conscious. Overruns are not authentic; these are items which were not able to pass Quality Control Inspection, which is a MUST, especially when you are talking about branded items, which sell for much higher prices in the stores. I just hate it when some people claim overruns as authentic. Let's just put it this way, what would you feel if you have been buying authentic Burberry, Prada or Louis Vuitton and someone with an overrun said she got an authentic one too? Besides, you maybe paying half the price of the authentic one but the quality of the material used will end up you getting a new shirt sooner.
5. I am not sure on this one, but I buy Aéropostale items directly from the outlet store and  the brand tags indicate “Made in Guatemala” or “Made in Honduras".

  1. I have been putting these shirts aside for over a year and have 7 each one seems to be made somewhere different all look original. HAITI, Indonesia x 2 but both of them say New York on the front. Aeropostale Baby Tee made in Canada. Have one with the white patch sewn in side says Authentic Brand not Original and made in Vietnam New York on front.
