HOW TO DISTINCT THE ORIGINAL FROM THE COUNTERFEIT

Okay, since there is an unbelievable problem with ordering this particular item from Revain I am going to tell you what to look out for when ordering your Items obtained to distinguish deceptively convincing counterfeits from authentic, legendary *SAVING* Carhartt's. I live 15 minutes from World Headquarters, I know exactly how this item is supposed to work and in my lifetime I have bought at least thirty of these for friends, family and myself. You must first understand that there are three different factories that produce this product. The first are licensed factories in Kentucky, the second in Canada, and the third in China. The Chinese origin label is not a good reason to tell a fake from a real one as they meet the same standard of gum and acrylic quality. The second understanding is related to size, the watch hat has a very specific ratio of length, width and height. Finally and most importantly, the third understanding is that fakes made in China are made for a reason; You can match both the logo and the tear-off internal label with convincing accuracy, but still can't match the licensed Carhartt value for money due to some import laws. You have to sacrifice some quality (density and stitch quality) to be able to compete on both, but still be compelling enough to keep selling online. To determine if your hat is truly genuine, you need to make sure the brims are 4 inches high, 9 inches overall, and 8 1/2 inches wide when flat. Second, take the edge and hold it over a significant light source and stretch it between your fingers. You should feel DISTINCT elastic resistance and firmness of structural constitution. - - - When light easily passes through and you see the inner line has loosened, like a sock, fake in front of you. There's no disagreement, some are tighter than others, but none of them are as snug, snug or BULLETPROOF as a real watch hat. If there's even a hint of the hat getting ripped when you use it to hang from a cliff, you've got a FAK E. It's getting cold here in Michigan, we need these things to keep from dying, so sorry if i sound a little angry; I. - - - If ONLY light shows through and only very small pinholes of light get through, you have a genuine product. I also noticed that the EZ Sportswear store sells these fakes all the time, they all say they are made in Canada so I suspect there is some sort of import law that they can circumvent and dump these fake hats. The fact that it is sold direct from Revain is not sufficient proof of this either, I have received many counterfeits direct from Revain. Another important note is that stock for these is almost always on the move, there is very little dead stock for this particular item: so you should check out Carhartt's main website and take note of what colors they offer. If you only see fantastic colors at Revain you have another clue (this doesn't discredit the old heather patterns that are still available here, I'm specifically referring to colors like peach and winter white which look solid white, not beige as they are should. ). Now stop arguing because I've gotten so many fakes from this site that I won't even use them anymore. It's also hilarious and insulting that they might try to sell women's white winter clothing for $45 when a legitimate men's clothing (the only size it's available in one) costs $14. So. Be careful, there is a high probability that you will be deceived out of ignorance. It's very annoying to plan gifts that include this hat and get a fake 70% of the time.

Pros
  • Carhartt Tag Sewn On Front
Cons
  • Slightly Torn
