There are countless fake Adidas A15 Leather Jacket on eBay at the moment and as the item grows in popularity the fakes grow in numbers.

I've got tired of reporting them to eBay so I though that it's time to put pen to paper and cut out the middle man, by informing the buyers of what to look out for.

Firstly, here is the item in question:

This is a real favorite for the fake sellers, as it's cheap to make and buy and has a huge RRP.

This means that they will want to buy as many possible, so approach with causion if you see a seller with loads of these.

Here is the main way to tell that it's a fake - The Trefoil Logo

1. You will see that the top section of the logo (begining of the leaf) is joined up.

2. The bottom of the logo is completely different to the official Adidas Originals logo.

3. They've even made the stupid mistake of having a different Trefoil logo on the front compared to the back.

These are all signs that the item is a cheap fake!

The Trefoil logo on all genuine Adidas Originals items will have all of the sections seperate, see here:

Here is the other way to tell the item is a fake - The Tag Info

The information on the label on the string is D.T TT1 740673.

The label inside the jacket describes it has a white cotton/polyester track top and product info relates to the product on the string label. The D.T relates to the British Decathlon star Daley Thompson and I have found a picture of the top:
