In the beginning the Luxirie clothing brand by LRG had moderate success, much like the original streetwear brand. However, in less than a year, the Luxirie by LRG clothing brand grew at a fast rate which created a demand from women's Hip Hop and streetwear fashion culture.

LRG has become a fashion powerhouse in Urban, Pop, Hip Hop, and streetwear cultures with their crazy designs, such as the LRG Dead Serious Hoody that was one of the hottest sellers in 2007.

Here at Swagmode we are here to help you find authentic True Religion and not fall victim  to Fakes. Some tips for spotting Authentic True Religion jeans are listed below.

#1. True Religion jeans NEVER come in logo bags, not even when sent directly to retail stores!

#2. On the Inner tag of men's True Religion jeans there will be no size, and there is the buddha logo instead of the horseshoe. on Women's jeans the bottom of the tag will include the size and the horseshoe logo. (Note: Late 07-early 08 pairs of the womens jeans the inner tag has a buddha logo along with a new patent number which now excludes the dipped J.)

#3. On newer pairs there is a inner tag with True Religion in script writing at the top, with the E in true connecting to the R in Religion with a large looping line.

#4. On ALL pairs the tag should say "made in USA and Never just "U.S.A." (Note: The "made in" part should be evenly spaced and not look like it almost says "madein".)

#5. Belt Lables are sewn on evenly, with stitches of the same lengths, and are not crooked. (note: Fakes often have tiny crooked stitches that come past the guidelines of the red bordered edge.)

I hope this helps people avoid fakes and find authentic True Religion Jeans. If you happen to see an error in this information or would like to add a tip to the list please e-mail me.

These are some tips on spotting Authentic LRG clothing.

#1. The LRG tree symbol on the tags and stuff have a plus sign inside the tree, not a triangle. (Beware: Fakes now have this)

#2. The gold tag is suppose to be somewhat small, not abnormally large.

#3. There is a small grey LRG tag that is on the collar of authentic LRG shirts.

#4. There is a small LRG tag on the hood of all LRG hoodies, with the tag being the same color as the main color of the hoodie.

#5. LRG Jeans have a small tag that say LRG on it that's located where the zipper is. also a small button is located right below this tag as well. (Beware: As a precaution Both must be present as fakes now have the small tag.)

#6. LRG Jeans have a LRG tag on the first belt loop going to the right with the front of the jeans facing you. (I have yet to see these on fakes)

#7. LRG Jeans with the loop design on the back pockets have matching size loops. Fakes usually have one loop smaller than the other.

#8. LRG Jeans have a bright colored stitching on the belt loops.

That is all I really noticed and I hope this helps people avoid fakes and buy authentic LRG clothing. If you happen to see an error in this information or would like to add a tip to the list please e-mail me.
