Logo Tee: real vs fake
The Logo Tee is Saint Laurent’s staple shirt with the “SAINT LAURENT” wordmark in a strict grotesque across the chest. Typography is the core check — the exact typeface, kerning, and letter proportions are where replicas miss most often.

What to check on the Logo Tee
Model-specific zones — on top of the brand-level signs.
SAINT LAURENT font and kerning
The wordmark uses the strict house grotesque with calibrated stroke weight and even letter spacing. Replicas grab a close-but-wrong typeface: letters run narrower or wider than reference and the gaps between them drift.
Print quality and registration
The logo prints dense and even, the letter edges stay crisp, and the wordmark sits square to the center axis at the correct height. Fakes print it thin or cracking, drift it sideways or vertically, and blur the outline.
Cotton and fit
The original uses quality cotton with a smooth, even weave; the Parisian house cut sits clean, never baggy. Replicas feel thinner and looser, and the silhouette differs from reference photos of the release.
Neck label and interior tags
The woven Saint Laurent neck label, the size tag, and the composition/care tag have clean fonts and even attachment, with a correctly listed country of origin (often Italy). On fakes the tag fonts drift and the stitching is sloppy.
Collar and stitching
The collar binding runs even and firm, and the shoulder seams and the hem and sleeve turn-ups show neat stitching with no wandering. Replicas have uneven stitch length, a rippling hem, and loose thread.

FAQ
How do I check the Saint Laurent logo font?
Compare the letterforms, stroke weight, and kerning of the “SAINT LAURENT” wordmark to photos of a confirmed original. Replicas most often miss the letter spacing and proportions — it’s the most reliable first test.
Should the tee carry the YSL monogram?
Not necessarily. The interlocking Cassandre (YSL) monogram appears mostly on accessories; on clothing the main identifier is the “SAINT LAURENT” grotesque wordmark. If a basic Logo Tee shows an unusual logo, match the piece to photos of the specific release.
Can I authenticate the tee from photos alone?
Yes. The typography, print registration, tags, and cotton texture all read clearly in images. Shoot the logo close up, the neckline with tags, and the overall look — LegitCheck AI analyzes each zone and returns a verdict with a confidence score.
