1. Print Quality & Design Accuracy
Real CaseOh merch uses crisp, vibrant prints that match the official artwork. On the Classic T-Shirt ($24.99), the design is sharp with no bleeding, and colors pop without being neon. Fakes often have pixelation, faded areas, or misaligned graphics. Look closely at the edges - if it looks like it was ironed on in a basement, run.
2. Fabric & Construction
CaseOh's apparel uses high-quality materials. The Premium Hoodie is thick fleece, the Tank Top ($19.99) is soft cotton that doesn't shrink weirdly. Knockoffs use thin, scratchy fabric that pills after two washes. Also check the stitching: real items have tight, even seams. Fake hoodies often have loose threads or crooked hems.
3. Tags & Labels
Official CaseOh merch has woven neck tags with the brand logo and size. The back has a care label with legal info. Fakes skip this or use cheap printed tags that peel. For the Classic T-Shirt, the tag should feel like a premium cotton blend, not stiff paper.
4. Packaging & Extras
If you order online, authentic items come in branded poly bags with the CaseOh logo. No plastic bags with Chinese text? Suspicious. Also, real merch never includes "bonus" stickers unless it's a limited drop. Fakes sometimes throw in random junk to seem official.
5. Price Red Flags
CaseOh sets fair prices: $24.99 for a t-shirt, $49.99 for a hoodie. If you see a "deal" at $10 or $15, that's a clear fake. The Polo Shirt at $34.99 is a steal already - don't get tempted by a $12 version. Cheap prices mean cheap materials (and zero royalties to CaseOh).
