The embroidered label at the bottom of the sweatshirt

Check that on your Gérard Darel sweatshirt, a small label must be sewn at the bottom of it. The label is always white, a little towards beige tones. On this label there must be written «The Sweatshirt» with the word Sweatshirt in red underlined with a small line. Just below it is the capital and black word “Simply”. Finally comes the name of the brand with the same font as the word «Sweatshirt». Finally, the inscription «made with love» in capital letters and black. Everything is framed by small red lines. This label must be on each sweatshirt of the brand. If it is not identifiable, your sweatshirt is certainly not authentic. 

Here is an overview of the label on a Gérard Darel sweatshirt. 

The washing label 

Also check the wash label inside your sweater. On this last important elements could allow you to identify a counterfeit Gérard Darel sweatshirt. An authentic label should include the following information: 

-   The washing instructions

-   Product material: 84% COTTON, 13% POLYESTER, 3% ELASTHANNE

-   Product title (type): Sweatshirt 

-   Garment size: for example, T1. It is good to know, that the size of these sweaters are not inscribed with mentions such as «XS,S,M,L,XL...» but rather with numbers, as for example a size T1, T2, T3...  If during your purchase you observe a size such as S... You are probably facing a counterfeit. 

Namely that the imitations propose the instructions previously stated with coarse seams and letters often hidden. 

Seams

The seams should be straight, clean and sharp. Gérard Darel sweatshirts are known for their durability and quality. An imitation is quickly identifiable in view of the threads that protrude and the seams that warp. They are often overlooked or considered unimportant, but seams can be a real means of identifying counterfeits. 

The collar label 

You can check the label on the collar of the sweater. You must find at this level, a label with the name of the brand «Gérard Darel». The label must be white and the font of the letters must be capitalized and black regardless of the color of the sweater. A second element must be taken into account, and these are the spelling mistakes. These are not really taken into account by replica plants. They are many to make big spelling mistakes especially on the name of the brand. The details of the letters can also be a difference, a letter larger than the authentic, a letter too glued to the other, or a poorly formed letter.
