Hi @AlfajorDeMaicena! For better answers, include: - Reference pictures - Budget in numbers - Specific measurements - Openness to buying secondhand and/or online - Location: country/continent is fine - Timing/urgency

Only thing that makes me pause is the misspelling in the tag: "Excluve of" instead of "Exclusive of". I glanced around and didn't see that misspelling on any other vintage Carhartt except this one (which coincidentally is exactly like your jacket here, and is also in 'mint' condition but without tags): https://www.ebay.com/itm/388840468567?

Overall great fade but in "Mint" condition, which is rare, especially in this size.

I don’t know how much new carhartt is getting faked since it’s the vintage stuff that’s getting marked up like crazy But honestly if you’re that worried about just go to carhartt dot com and buy one there

Oh, I do believe that the bottom of the tag should say "Med / Moy / Med," not "Med / Pet / Peq"

Oh yeah

You'll notice the tag on the jacket I linked you to above says "L/P/P" and yours says "M/P/P"

If you're not in the US and don't have tariffs to worry about I'd just buy the Red Tornado one off Aliexpress

Gonna check that out Also gonna ask the seller to send some better quality picks from the tag
AlfajorDeMaicena
AlfajorDeMaicenaOP4w ago
Anything else i should get to know when asking for picks looking for legitness?

Honestly the carhartt subreddit is probably a better resource for lc-ing this stuff There’s dudes there with insane knowledge

Also has this sort emblem idk
No description
artvandelayimporting
That’s probably legit It’s pretty common to find carhartts that people had custom logos printed/embroidered onto The wear on that tag alone makes me think it’s real
AlfajorDeMaicena
AlfajorDeMaicenaOP4w ago
So next time i'd want to buy one what things should i consider before exactly? Tags logos etc Ngl bunch of scammer on marketplace 😅
artvandelayimporting
Just consider the age of the piece that you’re purchasing and think about whether the wear on the piece lines up with that Also full tag shots are always good If something says it’s vintage and the tag is in pristine condition that’s a red flag
AlfajorDeMaicena
AlfajorDeMaicenaOP4w ago
Yeah pretty much, but for tags for ex: the bottom of the tag "Med / Moy / Med," not "Med / Pet / Peq" those sort o things and obs the "excuelve"
zeometer
zeometer4w ago
may depend on the particular age of the item

i mean usually a dead giveaway is a spelling error
zeometer
zeometer4w ago
any misspellings is a red flag
