Diagonal Stripes Tee: real vs fake
The Diagonal Stripes Tee carries Off-White’s signature block of diagonal stripes, where registration and stripe angle decide everything. The original gives itself away through even parallel stripes at an exact angle, sharp color registration, and a soft print with no plastic build-up.

What to check on the Diagonal Stripes Tee
Model-specific zones — on top of the brand-level signs.
Stripe angle and parallelism
The diagonal stripes run strictly parallel at a calibrated angle, with equal stripe and gap width across the whole block. Fakes drift off-angle, run stripes of varying thickness, and leave uneven gaps.
Color block registration
The print layers align exactly, the boundaries between stripes are sharp, and colors don’t creep into one another. Fakes miss the registration: stripes ghost, a white gap opens between colors, or colors overlap.
Print hand-feel
The genuine print is soft and thin, fused to the fabric and stretching with it. Fakes lay the ink on thick as a plastic layer that cracks along a fold.
Brand wording and font
Any accompanying text (including “c/o Virgil Abloh” where present) is set in the exact Helvetica-like font with correct weight and spacing. On fakes the letters are distorted in proportion and the spacing wanders.
Woven tags and cotton
The Off-White neck label has clean lettering and the tee is dense cotton that holds shape. Match the piece to its specific release — the tags should line up with the drop.
The zip-tie is not proof
The red zip-tie is mass-copied and confirms nothing on its own. Judge the tee by stripe registration, angle, and print — not by the presence of a zip-tie.

FAQ
What is stripe registration and why does it matter?
Registration is the accuracy of aligning the print’s color layers. On the original the boundaries between diagonal stripes are sharp, with no gaps or overlap. On a fake the stripes ghost, a white gap shows between colors, or one color creeps onto another — the first rep tell.
How do I check the diagonal stripe angle?
Compare the stripe block against a release reference photo: on the original the angle is calibrated, the stripes are strictly parallel, and stripe and gap width are equal. On a fake the angle drifts and the stripe and gap thickness is inconsistent.
Can I authenticate a Diagonal Stripes Tee from photos?
Yes. The stripes, registration, print, and woven tags read clearly in photos. Shoot the stripe block close up, the neck with its tags, and the size tag — LegitCheck AI returns a verdict with a confidence score.
