Yeah, no problems here! Sting tees generally perform pretty poorly, price wise, so he's not something counterfeitters would go after.

Totally legit. Tag is right I found another version of this on the same tag - measurements check out for size. (it sold for $75 a few years ago.) I think it's just a bit of loose thread, which happens.

Print a-ok!

Looks a-ok to me. Redwood is one of those oddball tags that kinda looks out of place, but it's found on a spattering of different band tees:

Seems to be mid to late 90s, perhaps into the 00s. Does it have an RN number on the back?

The RN indicates it was created at earliest, circa 1968.

It looks like something out of the 90s - but also could be modern.

Not much value here I don't think.

Just google "Saint Michael t-shirts"

Yes, Nirvana - I think this is a Saint Michael shirt, where they make new shirts that are inspired by old prints.

They also have tags that are the same type of thing.

well, you're not going to find one that big for sure, this is your best bet!

I'll def. keep an eye out for that tag tho, who knows, I get surprised all the time.

Cool one! Chances are it's a vintage bootleg, which would explain why they seem a little more scarce, and why the tag is ripped. https://www.defunkd.com/cut-tags/ I don't think it hurts the value, might even increase it a touch. But after pulling legit versions - past sales - it looks like they go ...

I have seen the occasional tag size anomaly, it could have been mis-tagged I guess. I can't find anything wrong with the print - at first it seemed like the colors were off but I was able to find a few others that are in line with yours. Plus, that tag is synonymous with this print. Is that a good ...

Yup saw that Regular All Sport tag, This All Sports is a bit of an anomaly, there's no match for it in google images: https://lens.google.com/search?ep=gisbubb&hl=en-CA&re=df&p=AbrfA8p5oicFvkOgJM06N-6IOgJoqD7XOQYe4f3OrILv8T_qvGM-UeaZQF4mYLJwDifTo36nw3Kx1f-97162XBVrOj4nrG ...

That is bizarre....for that tag, in M to be 21" - do you have the shirt? Sometimes sellers listing goof up and put the wrong pit to pit.

These were printed on various tags. And yes, they have been faked, and most recently reproduced for $19.99. At first glance, that tag, and the measurements, I don't think you have anything to worry about here. I've checked on this print before - and if memory serves, there can be subtle differences ...

Here's his response: "Lots of possible explanations. If one has been washed more the colors could have faded. Could have been different ink batches. Less detail could mean printers not caring what they churned out as long as they met their quota. Registration could have been off. Sometimes the dryer ...

Let me ask my Wild Oats contact as to why there's a difference in the print.

Interesting - perhaps that "All Sport" tag was specific to Hoodies. I found the same print on t-shirts with an All Sport tag. Yours says All Sports, and it's generally the same font.

Can you ask the seller to show a pic of the rear of the tag? Maybe there's an RN number.

Here's another tag that's 3D Emblem inspired.

Here's another one that was just found in the wild, reported to us by JapanGrade on Instagram. I wondered if this was a bootleg from the era, as they haven't been appearing in recent years, among the counterfeits. Mono from Heavy Soul thinks they are 2010 era. This one is interesting, with very good ...

I haven't seen a fake version of that Wild Oats tag.

And the shirt I posted above - is the same tag.

I would just make sure there's been no tampering with the tag and then make sure the measurements match other Wild Oats tagged t-shirts in that size.

Here's one that is 100% fake.

So you can see the one you're considering is far better than that. My gut says it's okay, but again, why not hold out for one that has all the details?

If it were me, I'd pass and hold off for one that's vibrant like this one, which is also a Wild Oats-tagged one. Look at the difference between the two. The one below looks way more photo-realistic. Look at the man. And then look at the evolutionary monkeys, and how much more detailed they are. I ...

Where is this listed so I can see better photos of it?

Yup, and I believe are reprinted them recently too.

Good eye and great question, lemme see if I can reach out to an expert on this for an explanation. Maybe one is the OG print.

Here's a recent fake Hook-ups tag from Thailand. I also did a quick search through the available Hook Ups tees on eBay and Etsy, and couldn't find another one without the size on the tag like yours. One thing that struck me about the fake one below is that it's sewn under the flap, and not just sewn ...

What is the pit to pit?
