Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hi folks- I have an original from my grandma who purchased in the 90’s. It’s safely tucked in drawer and only taken out to reminisce.

I picked up another this week for the nostalgia factor. It is single seam, no side seams and has the Brockum tag and while the seller is adamant it is “authentic”, it looks like DTG print to me. Especially when comparing to the original I have from my grandma.

Everything seems to check out - tag is fine - sewn in, which tracks with these, because they were tie-dyed first. My experience with DTG is that the print area is limited, and they can't pull off large prints like this.

Thanks Jimmy. Adding a picture of the shirt I have from my grandma just for kicks. It has been well loved. Arm pits have ripped and I tore out the tag 15 years ago before I understood to leave it. Print quality and durability is fantastic

Aged to perfecttion, Yer granny rocks!
