General Appearance Check

Verify overall shape and proportions. Check color accuracy under lighting. Look for glue stains, scratches, or discoloration. Confirm packaging condition if box is included.

Stitching Inspection

Count stitches per inch on key areas. Check for loose threads or skipped stitches. Verify stitching color matches the design. Look for alignment on patterned pieces.

Logo and Branding

Compare logo placement to reference photos. Check font weight and spacing. Verify tag information and placement. Look for embossing or print quality issues.

Material and Texture

Assess material weight and feel from photos. Check for correct textures on leather, suede, or fabric. Look for synthetic substitutes where genuine materials are expected.

Sizing Verification

Measure insole length for shoes against size charts. Check garment measurements against provided specs. Compare to known fitting items in your wardrobe.

Hardware and Details

Inspect zippers, buttons, eyelets, and laces. Check for proper branding on hardware. Verify functional elements work correctly. Look for rust, tarnish, or poor finishing.
