The Mysterious Occurrence Of The Sewn in Tag

Yoddles; So a few people have brought to my attention that t-shirts with various sewn-in vintage tags are popping up quite frequently.

Re: Levi's Sta Prest

Good work sir - just delete any of these one post idiots - they are pretending to engage in the conversation to they can create back links.

I'm deleting him - and deactivating the links in your post - because that's what they want...backlinks pointing at their websites.

Re: Vintage HANES Woodstock shirt

All good q's - Max and I are digging into this - I'm trying to touch base with one of the organizers.

Keep your eyes open for the earliest known Hanes tee with that tag - definitely a surprise to me if it was around in 69.

Re: Vintage HANES Woodstock shirt

That Hanes tag isn't something I would have said to be from 1969. Early 70s maybe - but who knows for sure, there's no exact timeline on when that tag was created - but I do have tees from the early 80s with that exact tag.

Re: Modern Day Bootleggers?

@theteetotaler - doubtful - we've got a good eye and nose for sniffing out the fakers. We take way more in to consideration than just an item being deadstock - design/printing flaws, feedback, lack of tags, suspicious posting practices, blurry closeups, etc. I've come in to a few hauls of deadstock ...
