How to Spot Real Essentials Fear of God in Egypt – Authenticity Guide
Worried about buying fake Essentials Fear of God in Egypt? You're not alone. As streetwear gets more popular, fakes are showing up everywhere. Here's a quick guide to help you tell the difference between real and fake Essentials Fear of God before you spend your money.
1. Neck Tag – First Sign of Authenticity
- Real tags are matte, not shiny
- Bold “ESSENTIALS” with “Fear of God” printed below
- Crisp letters, centered, and stitched cleanly
If the font looks off or shiny, it’s likely fake.
2. Rubber Patch Details
- Found on the back or chest depending on the piece
- Should be thick rubber, not plastic
- Letters are raised and perfectly shaped
Fake patches are often glued, thin, or poorly finished.
3. Fabric and Fit
- Real Essentials pieces have a heavyweight feel
- Signature boxy, oversized fit
- Soft on the inside, firm structure outside
If the hoodie feels light or fits tight, it’s probably not real.
4. Packaging Quality
- Comes in a matte ziplock bag
- ESSENTIALS logo printed clearly
- Sturdy material, no cheap plastic feel
Most fakes come in random or unbranded plastic bags.
5. Price Check in Egypt
If you’re seeing a “FOG hoodie” for under 2,000 EGP, be cautious. Real Essentials hoodies and tees sold in Egypt usually start at 4,000 EGP. A price that’s too good to be true usually is.
