Vintage Akira shirt LC
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2026 8:41 pm
Got a vintage Akira kimono my house t shirt from eBay that feels a little ‘too new’. It’s XL single stitch sleeve that has the vertical kimono my house label by the Akira A. Some things that stood out as odd to me and would appreciate if someone could weigh in.
1) The gun in the design is red - the original shirt I’ve seen from kimono my house on Hanes has the beige brown tone
2) the kimono my house side logo is parallel with the A. The original I’ve seen is slightly angled away from the A
3)the AZ is in a slightly different position above the ‘COMMITTEE’ E compared to the original
4) the lettering is shiny, looks a little too new if this was really from the 80s 90s unless kept in perfect condition
I have images of a legit Hanes shirt to compare this too. Was wondering if this shirt was an actual legit release on Stedman 50 or is this a well crafted dupe. Any insights from any one would be helpful!
