Authentication Help - Loui’s Tag: Factory Missed Stitch or Tag Swap? Tag is Intact/Uncut - Led Zeppelin 1975 Bootleg

Post by Faizsupercollector »

Hello Everyone,

Need some expert help on this Led Zeppelin U.S. Tour 1975 bootleg raglan.

Updating my previous concern with a closer observation - I can see the tag has been re-sewn, but I noticed the tag itself is not cut, torn or damaged. It is fully intact with clean edges. This makes me think it might not be a tag pulled from another shirt.

Could this be a factory missed stitch / factory error where the tag was missed on the line and was later re-stitched at the factory? I know this happened often with 70s blanks like Loui’s

Also regarding size: The tag says L 42-44 but my measurement is Pit 17" x Length 24". For a 50-year-old 50/50 shirt, I understand heavy shrinkage is normal and expected, so the small measurements make sense for a vintage L.

My main questions:
1. Based on the intact/un-cut condition of the tag in the photo, does this look like an original factory re-sew or an aftermarket tag swap?
2. Is this Loui’s tag period-correct for a 1975 bootleg raglan?

Thank you for your help - I can accept the re-sew and shrinkage if it is factory original.

Photos: Tag stitching close-up (note intact edges) + measurements.
