Found these jeans at my local thrift, was planning to flip them but cannot find anything through image search. There are not 3 tags located at the back middle, which by all accounts means these are fake. I imaged searched the back patch at the waist and only came up with one identical pair, claiming to be men’s, on vestiaire collective for $426. The attention to detail on these is amazing, right down to the thicker stitching on the inseam and bottom leg seams. If anyone could provide me with any information on these I would be forever grateful. THANK YOU!
I can't comment on your True Religion jeans but I recently found some "Gucci" jeans at a thrift and grabbed them.
The quality was amazing and I was pretty sure they were authentic. I posted here. For a small fee (mentioned in that post), I used an authentication company, learned they were fake and fortunately, didn't compromise my account by listing them.
Especially if you plan to flip them, verify!
The takeaway is that for expensive items, it can be worth it to counterfeiters to put a bit more "quality" into their fakes to fool buyers.
I used Authentic Detective for my (not) Gucci jeans. I don't know whether they do True Religion but there's a contact hyperlink on their home page. You can ask.

Good luck.
