Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

May I please get a price check and legit check on this Metallica shirt?

Also considering that the tag appears to be barely hanging on, few holes near the pit, collar is thrashed a bit, and colors are faded.. what does this put this shirt at? Pit to pit is 23 inches length is 27 inches.

I also noticed some black threading near the back side of the tag and was wondering if that is normal? (Looks like the tag was cut?)

Have yet to see a fake tag like that Giant version - but is it sewn in (fraudulently)? The photos of the print aren't great can you please do a closeup of just the front print?

In good shape, these can go in the $200 range.

Do you mean the tag is legit then? I'm not sure if the tag was sewn on fraudulently. I asked the seller and they denied it. I've been negotiating with the seller and was trying to figure out:
1) if the shirt is authentic
2) value considering its condition

If I could get any help it would be greatly appreciated.

I've attached more photos what I can get from the seller.

There are legit reasons for sewn in tags, the 23" chest might be a little wide for a vintage XL - but the shirt is also worn like crazy and could have been stretched. I'll ask someone else to chime in to see if this print is being circulated.

hello firned, this shirt is legit and the price i don't know for the global market but in asia it's around 100$

So you think the tag is sewn on? And thank you

It is, just depends on who did it, but according to the gent above, you're safe here.
