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 thin, flush print with no plastic build-up, and the “c/o Virgil Abloh” wording on the tag where the release carries it.

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 – cross-check the line count against the specific release. Fakes miss the angle, add or drop a line versus reference, and leave uneven gaps between the stripes.
Print registration and ink thickness
The print is laid with exact registration, the line edges are crisp, and the ink layer stays thin and flush with the weave, with no visible relief. 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, where it appears 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 density
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; it doesn’t appear on every release, but where it does, 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.
