Shirt #5: Thin Lizzy
Availability: Check Defunkd’s Rock Selection
Era: 1973
Fact: Decca released Thin Lizzy’s version of a traditional Irish ballad, “Whiskey in the Jar”, as a single. The band was upset with Decca because they felt the song wasn’t representative of their sound and image. Low and behold the song ended up topping the charts in the UK and being one of the most popular songs they ever recorded.
Approximate value: $1000

![[ LINK IN BIO ] Here are three more tags often suspected of being fake. Cygnus, College Lane and Vogel. Cygnus is a product of the very late 1990s – perhaps even 1999. It saw most of its action in the early to mid-2000s, so it’s been entering vintage classification for at least 3 years now. College Lane has thrown us for a loop over the years. After doing a deep dive we found it's been around since the 1970s - but they also dabbled in retro prints in the 1990s and early 00s. To make things even more confusing we also found a t-shirt with this tag dated 2007. Vogel, often thought to be a retro tag, like Junk Food, is actually vintage - and it typically appears on specialty tees - in unique colors - or ones with camo or ringer t-shirts. Make sure you're not leaving 🔥behind at the thrifts and click the link in the bio for the full list of suspect, yet legit tags. #vintagetshirts #vintagetshirt #vintagetees #vintagetee #vintageteeshirts #vintageteeshirt](https://www.defunkd.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
