Arrows Tee: real vs fake

The Arrows Tee is built around Off-White’s signature diagonal arrows logo, so the arrow angle and line count decide everything. The original gives itself away through exact print geometry, a soft crisp print hand-feel, and the “c/o Virgil Abloh” wording on the tag.

What to check on the Arrows Tee

Model-specific zones — on top of the brand-level signs.

Arrows logo geometry

Off-White’s diagonal arrows sit at a precisely calibrated angle with an exact number of parallel lines. Fakes miss the angle, add or drop a line, and leave uneven gaps between the stripes.

Print registration and hand-feel

The print is laid with exact registration, the line edges are crisp, and the print feels soft and thin, fused to the fabric. Fakes lay the ink on thick as a plastic layer with a fuzzy edge that cracks along a fold.

“c/o Virgil Abloh” wording

The “c/o Virgil Abloh” wording on the print or tag is set in the exact font with correct case and spacing. Fakes distort the typeface and muddle the spacing and letter weight.

Woven neck label

The woven Off-White label with clean lettering and a tight weave is evenly attached; a size tag sits below. Match the tee to its specific release so the tags line up with the drop.

Cotton, seams and fabric hand-feel

The genuine tee is dense cotton that holds shape, with an even neckline and clean seams. Fakes are thinner, see-through, and the collar stretches out fast.

The zip-tie is not proof

The red zip-tie copies easily and confirms nothing on its own. Judge the tee by its arrows, print, and tags — not by the presence of a zip-tie.

FAQ

How do I verify the arrows logo?

Compare the slant angle and the number of parallel lines against release reference photos: on the original the angle is calibrated and the gaps between stripes are equal. On a fake the angle drifts, there may be more or fewer lines, and the spacing wanders.

What does checking the “c/o Virgil Abloh” wording tell me?

It’s a signature Off-White phrase, and its font, case, and spacing must match the original exactly. A distorted typeface, extra or missing spaces, and wrong letter weight are classic rep tells.

Can I authenticate an Arrows Tee from photos?

Yes. The arrows, print, font, and woven tags read clearly in photos. Shoot the print close up, the neck with its tags, and the size tag — LegitCheck AI returns a verdict with a confidence score.
