How To Spot Fake Moncler Jackets: 7 Easy Things To Check!
BY CHARLESA JOAN MIÑOZA
1. Check the code through the Moncler website
As part of its campaign to end counterfeiting, Moncler has set up a code checker tool on its website.
You will first be asked to register at the beginning of the process. Once your details have been registered, you will be asked to input the QR product code. You have the option of scanning the certilogo code with a smartphone or entering the 12-digit code manually. The next page will display the results of your code. If the website detects a fake number, you will be redirected to contact customer service
2. Check the styles
A lot of counterfeiters make up completely nonexistent styles that look nothing like the original styles. Familiarize yourself with the styles that are currently available on official retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstrom.
Beware of items tagged as “vintage styles” or “limited edition” as they may be fakes being sold as unique styles on unauthorized sites.
3. Check the labels
Moncler labels are found on the inside of jackets, typically stitched on the upper part near the hood or collar. The label is clean, with a minimalist design It shows the Moncler text with the M and rooster emblem. This whole display should look finely made, with proper spacing and appropriate font/colors.
Fake Moncler jackets and knockoffs often have uneven stitches, with some letters looking significantly bigger or bolder than the others. Most counterfeiters are not able to perfectly duplicate the embroidered logo patch found on the outside of many Moncler jackets.
4. Check the cartoon strip
Not all styles have the cartoon strip label, but those that do provide an added feature that you can check. On authentic jackets, the comic strip is located at the inner front panel on the left side of the jacket. The label is made of fabric that has no sheen to it. The printed ink must be a little muted and never too bright. Fake jackets typically try to replicate using vivid colors on a plastic-like material. Misaligned comic panels are also clear signs of counterfeits.
5. Check the fabric
Moncler down jackets are usually made of 100% polyamide or nylon. This is a highly resistant fabric that provides comfort and waterproofing. The jacket’s texture should feel smooth to the touch and should not look overly glossy.
Counterfeiters often use lesser quality fabric as alternatives, which look and feel really cheap. Authentic Moncler jackets also age well and should retain comfort and quality even with normal wear and tear.
6. Check the hardware
The majority of hardware found on a Moncler jacket has either the brand name Moncler or the brand logo engraved. Throughout the years, the brand has used several zippers including Lampo, Fiocchi, and Vision. Inspect the markings on the zippers and buttons very closely. Some counterfeiters are able to use these same brand of zippers but have a hard time making an exact copy of the logo. Some fakes don’t have any markings on them at all.
7. Check the website or seller
Fake products are being distributed on the black market and through unauthorized sites online. Before hitting the purchase button, do a little bit of research on the website you are buying from. In particular, be extremely careful when shopping on auction sites like eBay. If you are considering buying through this method, it is essential to choose a trusted seller with great feedback. Inspect the listing and look for suspicious signs, which may include unresponsive sellers, misspelled words, and product photos that were just grabbed from the Internet.
1902 \ Heritage Hoodie
A time when people took pride in crafting their masterpieces.
Heritage Hoodie
1902 was the 13th season of County Championship cricket in England. Victor Trumper scored a century before lunch in the third Test, Australia won the fourth by just 3 runs and England won the fifth by one wicket following a century in 75 minutes by Gilbert Jessop. It was the 21st series between the two teams, the year of our founders grandfather, Guillaume Henry Baly's birth....a time when people took pride in crafting their masterpieces.
BRILLIANT!

The Cricket Piqué By OIC
On our journey in creating the Cricket Piqué, we felt we had to do the impossible while making it aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The usage of textures was important to us. We played in between the Piqué fabric with 57% cotton and 43% polyester blend to create a sensible feel to the touch to compliment. Our cotton twill placket and spread collar matures the Piqué but doesn't eliminate the athletic feel. We also put a lot of thought into our mark logo, what would set us apart from all the rest, and how can our logo bring the Cricket Pique to the future. With all of this in mind, the ultimate, unconventional Cricket Man Logo was created! Our primary goal was to change the rules of the Pique for the next 80 years, and we believed we did it! 🏏
You be the judge... Cheers!

Los Angeles has just reached new heights in over-the-top real estate opulence.
The city now boasts the most expensive home for sale in the country: a newly built Bel-Air mega-mansion listed Wednesday at a quarter billion dollars.
It has all the hallmarks of a Big Deal house: 38,000 square feet spread across four floors, 12 bedrooms, 21 bathrooms, three kitchens, a 40-seat movie theater, an infinity pool with a swim-up bar and 270-degree hilltop views from downtown to the ocean.
That's just the house itself, though, and L.A. has a lot of nice houses. To snag a billionaire buyer, sellers of ultra-elite properties are throwing in a raft of stunning extras. It's become about selling a glamorous lifestyle as much as offloading the property.
