Prps Jeans – Which Are Real and Which Are Counterfeit?

Prps Jeans are luxury ‘super-denim’ denim products that are the culmination of decades of research and design to grow and ship cotton; the weaving of cotton into denim and then the craftsmanship behind turning raw denim into a wearable product.

The cotton used in the creation of Prps garments (pronounced ‘PRPS’ or ‘Purpose’) is specially and organically grown in Africa. Specifically, countries like Uganda, Zimbabwe, and Benin are good regular sources. African cotton is chosen because Africa has a very favorable climate for growing cotton and the strength, versatility and resilience this gives to cotton grown. Once the cotton is fully grown and harvested, it is shipped to Prps production plants in Japan.

Once the cotton arrives, it is woven into denim. This is done on vintage looms, looms that were used during the 1960s and before. Loom technology has changed since these times, and denim weaving has become much more efficient, being able to produce more denim with less cotton more consistently and with less waste. However, Prps believes that the end result of vintage looms creates much better denim. Inconsistencies, small tears and waste are part of the Prps jeans vision of natural production and not mass production.

With denim complete, the Prps jean artists get to work. These artists are some of the best tailors in Japan, selected by the founder of Prps for their skill, wisdom and ambition. Although jeans may follow the same basic patterns and cuts, no two pairs of Prps are identical. Every abrasion, cut, rip, stain, strain, folded button, ripped fly, crease, crease, rip, dye and wash is created by hand. No two Prps jeans are alike, and some don’t even come close. Each garment goes through a very aggressive and rigorous aging and washing process. This creates an authentic looking product that truly represents the hard work that goes into every stage of production, from growing the cotton.

Unfortunately, Prps has been targeted by counterfeiters. These counterfeiters steal the basic design of a jean and try to reproduce it. Compared to genuine PRPs, these fakes don’t have the love or care that any other pair of jeans receives in their production. The denim used is the cheapest that criminals can find, the people who create the jeans are usually low paid people who are used to mass production, quantity over quality. When the counterfeits are produced by or for large organized criminal gangs, the factory workers are often children, who are paid only a day’s worth of food.

Fortunately for the savvy consumer, it’s easy to spot and thus avoid Prps replica jeans. There are some signs that counterfeiters will almost always miss, and very few of them will get all of them on every item. If you are looking for Prps deals in the market, make sure you look out for the following signs, otherwise you will most likely end up with fakes.

• The logo The Prps logo is found on a patch at the waist, usually on the back. This patch is always made of leather and is printed with Prps in a bold and legible colour. If the patch is not real leather (like it has a fabric or plastic feel), then the item is fake.
• waist adjusters Prps will generally have waist adjusters so that the wearer can slightly alter the tightness and tightness of the garment. Fakes will often have this too, although they will be missing some vital details. First, check how well the bolts stay fastened: if they pop out accidentally or with little effort, then they’re not real. Prps also only uses two studs – if the jeans you’re looking at have more or less, they’re not real. The uprights themselves will have ‘SELTEX’ engraved on them; if they don’t, then they aren’t real.
• inside pocket The inside of the front pocket will have ‘PRPS’ stamped on it and the size of the jean. It will usually look slightly washed out and appear in a very strong, bold-looking typeface. If it’s missing or not shown in a strong font (for example, it’s shown in the same italic font as on the waist), it’s probably not authentic.
• Price tag The Prps label follows a very different pattern. First, the label is printed on a dark beige/light brown label. The label has a slight wrinkled effect, very visible but nothing too strong to alter the physical direction the label is placed. Towards the top of the label, near the printed “Prps”, there should be a pattern of red sun rays emanating from the top curve of the first P, the rays of which will form a rough triangle when they reach and stop at the edge . of the surrounding rectangle. If the lightning strikes the edge of the tag or is not present (perhaps the pattern is something else or a solid block of color), then the jeans are not real.

This is by no means a definitive list. The most important thing you can do to protect yourself against this type of scammer is to shop only at a reputable, well-known, reputable store. Pay close attention to the price: everyone likes a bargain, but if the price is too low, something is wrong. A low price does not represent the value of the genuine item, so it is likely not authentic.

If you are a victim of buying a counterfeit Prps jean, you should not waste time telling the authorities. Most fake clothing is created and sold by organized crime criminals; whose profits are often reinvested in other forms of crime. Not only will you be left with no money, you will have a sponsored crime, and to top it off, you will be left with a substandard product.

Prps is one of the most innovative and environmentally friendly design houses in the world, and their products are (rightly so) always in demand. Protect yourself against unscrupulous people who feel they must immorally benefit from the success of others and at their expense by learning to spot the differences between genuine and counterfeit products.
