I'm going to try to get one at Saks. Then I know it's authentic, and that it fits!
These are pretty good deals i just wanted to double check that they are authentic:

Sorry for the long post, but I could really use some Juicy education. I've researched and researched but everything I see has exceptions for older sweats without detailing how to tell if yours are exceptions. Please help me!
I just bought a bunch of Juicy sweats from a reputable seller who said they were all purchased at a local boutique. I'm pretty sure some are authentic based on research, but have my doubts about others.
Two sets I'm questioning are the velour sweat sets (beige and dark green/blue) that have the rear snap pockets on the pants. On the first two jacket/pants set, the inside tags are the right color for the size and are sewn with the right color string that matches the garmet, but the zippers don't say YKK on them.
I know some of the older ones haven't always said YKK, but is this style old enough? They say P & G not G& P and have TM on the tag, which hints at an older style.
The beige jacket is style: 20003 and has two tags under the care tag. One says 28 and one says M. The back of the zipper has no writing on it but the zipper base reads 3R.
The beige pants are also style: 20003 with two tags under the care tag 34 and M. Both the jacket and pants have the same care tag with the same CA#, RN# style# and cut#.
The same exact thing goes for a pair of deep green/blue sweats. They are the same size and style and have the exact same numbers on the care tag as the beige set.
Another pair of black snap pocket pants in sz. large has the right color tag but it's sewn in with thread the same color as the tag and there is no size tag under the care tag. The care tag is the same as the other ones except it has a style of 2332 and cut of 610868 and reads LARGE. Unless these are significantly older than the others in the previous sets, I'm thinking these are fake.
The final one I have concerns about is a black skull set (the one with the thermal lining in the jacket and the skulls on the back of the zip-open hood and back of the pants). The tag in the jacket looks correct but the care tag reads Small (blacked out) instead of medium. The zipper has 4 and TJ on it instead of YKK. The pants have the same problem as well as the banner on the main tag where it reads JUICY COUTURE being off-colored.
As far as quality goes, they all seem on-par. I'm hoping there's some explanation for the inconsistencies instead of winding up with some authentic items and some fakes. I can post pics later if needed, but I wasn't sure if anyone might know off-hand if they are definitely fake or if there's any hope of them being real. Many thanks!

Hi Echo - through all your research your probably know this but... the only 2 things I can tell you are to make sure the puppies on the logo are even and that the gold tag they come with is a 'dull' gold and not shiny. I bought a pair of fakes once and those are the things that stuck out in my mind =)
Thanks Nyria, only one is new with tags and the tag is matte but with a sheen to it. I'm going to take pics of all the interior tags tomorrow and hopefully someone will be able to tell from that so I can contact the seller. Hopefully there are just variations and they are all really authentic (fingers crossed!!!!).
I think you should post these in authenticforum.com. I do think the R&S are authentic, though. The label isn't super popular, and the details look like mine.
Here are the tags and zipper pics from the skull hoodie- it is thick black cottom lined with waffle-like thermal shirt material. I am fairly certain this one is fake because the size on the tag and the care tag don't match up. Unless there were multiple styles of this jacket made, mine doesn't look like the one on Nordstrom's. It doesn't have metal pieces on the drawstring pulls and the print on the hoodie is grey not white. I'm hopeful this was an earlier model and maybe a factory reject, but am not holding my breath!

Here are the matching pants. The tags also don't match up in terms of stated size. The logo on the butt also looks smaller than the ones I've seen on current models. I can take pics of the items if needed, but thought the most insight would come from the tags. Please let me know if that's not the case.

Here is the dark blue velour hoodie which I have my doubts about because the zipper doesn't say YKK. It is supposed to be an older model though based on the TM on the tag.

Lastly, the tag on the black snap pants that strike me as off because the stitching matches the tag and not the black pants....again, I read this is the case with older pants, but I'm not sure if that applies to these. This is the last thing I'm going to post for a while. I think the other three items are authentic, so I will wait to hear back. If these are authentic, I won't bother wasting space with the newer items because I'm fairly certain they are authentic. If these are all fake, then I'm going to have my doubts with the seller and post the other ones to see if they are ALL fake 
. Many many thanks again.
