Re: Vintage Fly Nike T-Shirt

I'm by no means a Nike expert but it looks pretty good to me, too. The graphic looks solid, and the tag is properly stitched in under the seam like it should be. Not to say that all of that *couldn't* be faked. Printing on the tag itself is the only thing that would raise an eyebrow. Seems like ...

Re: Forgive me Father for I have Sinned

Ha ya both jerseys have 25+ watchers - the champion shirt is in third. But the polo sport stuff is falling flat...apparently that market has died quite a bit. :( I've done quite well over the last year with soccer jerseys. Rabid fans :) That Ivan Lendl piece will probably do well also, although not ...

BEACH BUTTHEAD

This one's weird. There are no less than four butts on this tee (6 if you count the two on the tag). Seems like this was someone's stab at a funny "Big Johnson" style brand, I can't imagine why it never took off :) http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL2175/12904926/22963224/404624612.jpg http://pic90 ...

Not a great one, but you can see it here (part of a t-shirt lot I put together which is why it's cropped a little strangely):

I'd never seen one of these hang tags before, just thought I'd share with all you Screen Stars fans out there :)

The shirt itself is a rainbow foil print on white 50/50 material, for a model railroad enthusiast group.

Re: sid vicious original or fake ?

Yours is definitely a newer shirt. As a general rule, anything with a web site on the collar tag isn't going to be a vintage original.

First is a minty fresh, deadstock long sleeve tee with "Chic" printed across the front and "Le Francais" down one sleeve. Both look like product logos of some sort, but I've had no luck ...

I've had that exact same tee before and still have the original photos. As you can see, mine was a Screen Stars. That's not to say yours isn't legit, because I've also seen the label on yours before on tees that otherwise seemed period correct. Is yours poly/cotton? This particular VH design has ...

Re: Wormser

Are they kids sizes? I've actually seen that tag before on vintage 80's era kids pajamas (ghostbusters, if I remember correctly). The "flame resistant" is a tip off that they're jammies, since sleepwear (I believe) is required to be labeled that way.

Here's another "throwback" modern college t-shirt I recently found. Also a tri-blend, vintage look, made in US etc.. this one had a web site address on the back of the tag, though, which was a more obvious tip-off.

Hi folks, I've come across 2-3 Eastport tee's over the years, always seem to be pro baseball teams, probably 80's era. Pretty high quality shirts, and they usually sell well. Just wanted to add this to the board (didn't see it pictured anywhere else), something else to keep an eye out for :mrgreen: .
