MONCLER SHIRTS/SWEATERS/HOODIES, ALSO HATS

Because these are lower dollar items, you won't find them faked quite as much as the signature down jackets, however, there are plenty of fakes produced and being sold so this page contains details to look for.

There are also some light weight jackets and nylon shell down filled sweaters that have the same tags and labels as found on shirts so these guidelines would apply to those items as well. When it comes to hats and caps, details such as the badge/logo and label are consistent with those used on shirts.

One thing to note about shirts and sweaters is that while Moncler jackets use number sizing, these garments always use standard S-M-L-XL sizing.

LOGO/BADGE:
The first thing to mention about the current logo/badge (since 2013) is that it's smaller and much less precise than what you see on down jackets. The guidelines mentioned in the logo section of this website do not necessarily apply to shirts.

Prior to 2013, the badge found on shirts was consistent with those found on jackets, both in size and design, with little variation. Here are examples taken from shirts from each of these years:

Sometime in 2013 Moncler started using a smaller logo on shirts. However, some 2013 & 2014 shirts still have the regular size jacket logo. It was not until 2015 that all of these items came with the smaller logo.

Since 2015, this logo has been fairly consistent as you see from the examples below:

One consistent detail to note is that the top of the letter R is usuallylarger and the entire letter is usually taller than the rest of the letters.

Sometimes the outside edge of the smaller badge is not perfectly cut, as seen in these 2015 examples.

As mentioned, the shirt badge is not nearly as clean and precise as those found on down jackets. As you see in this photo, letters can touch each other, and sometimes the embroidery is poor quality as noted by the arrows. Do not let this fool you into thinking it's fake.

These photos were taken directly from Moncler's website around 2019, as an example of how inconsistent these can be, even in the same year.
I currently do not have any examples of badges from fake Moncler shirts/sweaters but much like fake down jackets, some are fairly close while others are terrible.

At some point Moncler went back to using the standard jacket-size badge on some shirts and sweaters, but not on all. I first took notice of it in 2022.

As always, with Moncler there are rare exceptions and here is one. It appears that some shirts made in 2009 contain an uncommon badge that would normally be considered fake under any other circumstances, but this one is actually from a real Moncler shirt. I believe that such a badge will only be found on shirts that were made in China for 2009, but it also has not yet been determined if this is found on all 2009 shirts from China or just some.
NECK LABEL:

This brand label or neck label is something that is fairly consistent, much like the square brand label found on down jackets. The design of this label has changed occasionally over the years. This style of label can also be found on pants, scarves, and caps/beanies/hats.

I am not sure what year Moncler started producing shirts but this example is from what I estimate to be a mid-2000s shirt.

I am not certain at what point the label design changed but the following one is from a 2008 shirt.

The 2009 label was almost identical. I just notice a slight difference in the letter C and the trademark symbol.

In 2010, the style of this label changed ever so slightly. If you look closely, you will see slight differences in the tail feathers, the trademark symbol, as well as the letters C and R.

In 2014, there was another slight change to the label. If you closely compare it to the previous label, you can see some slight differences in the details of the letters. This same label was also used in 2015.

In 2014, Moncler began producing some shirts (but not all) with a thinner neck label. Some of these shirts are labeled as SLIM FIT. Most commonly you will see 2015 shirts with this label, but there are some 2014 shirts with this label.
As of 2020, the design of this label has not changed and is identical to the above photo.


There is also an alternate style of this label found on some 2015 shirts that were made in Portugal and Turkey. Notice that the trademark symbol and tail feathers are different on this one and the font is not as bold.


There are some decent fakes using this style of label. Here is one example. If you closely compare this label to the one 2 above, you will see the that tail feathers and letter C are different.


The standard neck label changed again in 2016 and this design remains current as of 2020.

You will see that the details in the bird emblem and the lettering closely match the thin label above but are considerably different from the 2014-2015 common label style.

Some pants and shorts having the "Fragment" or "1952" black label will have a similar label but in comparison, it's slightly different than the above shirt label, mostly seen in the details of the bird emblem.


This is one example of a fake shirt label. The closest match to this would be the 2010-2013 label, but if you look closely, you can tell that it's not quite accurate, especially in the trademark symbol and the poor stitching.

Here are other examples of fake neck labels:
The 2nd one matches nothing Moncler has ever made, and the size is NEVER printed on the actual label. While some fake labels are terribly made like those above, other fakes may not be as obvious.

Regarding the size tag location, through 2015 as seen in the above examples, it's most commonly sewn to the side of the neck label, except for on the 2015 thin label. On rare occasion, the tag may be sewn to the bottom of the label as seen below from a 2012 down sweater. You will see that in 2016, the size tag is not sewn to the label. I have yet to determine if this is always the case but it is consistent in all of the examples that I have seen. If the size tag is not sewn to the label, it should be found around the left shoulder of the shirt.


INDUSTRIES TAG:

The text layout of the INDUSTRIES tag is going to be exactly the same as on down jackets and most other Moncler items. There are some shirts/sweaters where this tag is not the common satin material but everything else follows the same guidelines as outlined in the INDUSTRIES TAG section of the website.

One thing you may notice to be different is the "MADE IN" city on this tag when it comes to shirts & sweaters. You will find that these items are more commonly made in countries such as China (yes, China), Turkey, Croatia, Tunisia, and Italy, especially more recent models. It would appear that most shirts & sweaters are not produced in the same factories as down jackets.

There is also an alternate style of industries tag rarely seen. I believe this one might be found only on shirts that were made in Portugal. Normally a tag like this would be considered fake but this is actually from an authentic shirt.

There is also another alternate industries tag seen on some shirts, although this is very rare.

Shirts and sweaters never have actual model names but simply a descriptive name that indicates what type of shirt or sweater it is. Many of the words are in Italian. This is the translation to English:
MAGLIAJERSEY
GIROCOLLONECK
MANICASLEEVE
CORTASHORT
LUNGALONG
CAPPUCCIOHOOD
As far as the production code goes, there is not a lot of consistency. Most shirts and hoodies will be SCOM while most cardigans will be HCOM but there are exceptions. Any sweaters containing down may use TIND or even ZIND. Also, some down sweaters may contain a cartoon, while some others will not. On rare occasion you may see the code MINZ on a cardigan but it's older. 2010 is the only year where I have seen this code.

Prior to 2010 and the commonly seen industries tag, the factory tags were inconsistent. Here are 3 examples of tags from pre-2010 shirts.


When it comes to hats/caps/beanies, the industries tag can be an exception. All of the tags pictured below, although not a match to the common industries tag, are from authentic Moncler hats.

The tag on the bottom right, although not dated, is from a 2013 baseball cap.
ZIPPERS:

Shirts/sweaters/hoodies can contain any brand of zipper commonly used by Moncler. There does not appear to be a lot of consistency when it comes to the zippers, other than that they do not use unbranded zippers on their items. The 5VS zipper is a Vislon YKK product.

AUTHENTICITY TAGS:

There isn't much to be said about these tags on shirts other than that they follow the exact same guidelines as on down jackets as covered in detail on other pages of this website. Certilogo was used from 2009-2012, the small QR code tag from 2013-2015, and the large RFID/QR code tag from 2016 to current.
