CDG Logo Tee: real vs fake
The CDG Logo Tee carries the block “CDG” logo and belongs to a separate Comme des Garçons line — don’t confuse it with PLAY: there is no heart with eyes here, and authentication rests on the logo print quality and the tags. The original gives itself away through a dense, even print with a crisp house font, the correct tag set, and quality cotton.

What to check on the CDG Logo Tee
Model-specific zones — on top of the brand-level signs.
“CDG” logo print
The logo is applied densely and evenly, letter edges are crisp, with no graininess, ink gaps, or halos. Fakes lay down a loose print with fuzzy edges that cracks and peels after a few washes.
House font and proportions
The “CDG” letters use the house font with calibrated weight and letter spacing, and the logo block sits dead center. Fakes miss the font weight, stretch or squeeze the letters, and shift the block.
CDG line — not PLAY
CDG is a separate line with no heart-with-eyes: if a “CDG Logo Tee” carries a sewn or printed PLAY heart, the piece doesn’t match the line. Compare the item against references for the CDG line specifically.
Interior tag set
The interior brand label and a care tag with the style number are sewn in straight with clean printing — cross-check the set against documented release references. On fakes the tag font is coarser and the set doesn’t match.
Cotton and cut
The fabric is dense and even, production is, as a rule, Japanese, and the cut is neat. Fakes are thinner, see through, and lose shape after the first washes.

FAQ
How does checking a CDG Logo Tee differ from PLAY tees?
CDG is a separate Comme des Garçons line with the block “CDG” logo and no heart with eyes. Authentication shifts from embroidery to print quality: ink density, edge crispness, the house font, and the block centering. A PLAY heart on a CDG-line piece is a reason to doubt it.
Does the print crack on the original?
A genuine print sits in a dense, even layer and survives washing without cracking or peeling. A print that looks grainy, cracks on a fold, or peels at the letter edges early in wear is a classic replica tell.
Can I authenticate a CDG Logo Tee from photos?
Yes. The print, font, and tags read clearly in photos. Shoot the logo close up and at an angle, the neck with its tags, the care tag, and the full tee — LegitCheck AI returns a verdict with a confidence score.
