Back when the washed, distressed logo tee was the defining luxury tee, the reviews made an interesting case study: some “flaws” turned out to match retail. What did reviewers report?
Related threads: Box logo hoodie reps from the hype years, the thread on Rick Owens sizing and Archive reps: does accuracy matter.
And the good ones? Were there any? 
A later review of a larger luxury collection praised one version for tags, distressing, fit, embroidery and the wash. The fit point mattered: retail was a relaxed, slightly oversized tee.
The wash is the hardest thing to copy: retail had an aged finish (vintage effect, wear marks) that gives an irregular colour. A flat dye looks new straight away.
And the “flaw that wasn’t”: another review noted no distressing on the collar and sleeves. That matched the retail version of that season. 
Which is why context matters. A QC checklist written for one season can turn correct details into “flaws” for another.
Distressing can be added, but faking an even wash at home rarely works. If the wash is wrong, I’d pass on that version rather than try to fix it.
So what’s the takeaway review checklist?
The season point is the essential one. Marking it.
