Nirvana Giant USA AOP Period Bootleg – Age/Tag Check

Looking for help dating/authenticating this Nirvana/Kurt Cobain all-over-print shirt. I understand this artwork is an unofficial/bootleg design rather than licensed Nirvana merchandise. I’m specifically trying to determine whether this is an authentic period/vintage bootleg or a modern reproduction of the vintage bootleg.

Giant USA XL tag, single-stitch construction. Any opinions on the tag, blank, print and construction/era would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey, thanks for taking a look at the shirt! I really appreciate your input. Could you tell me what specifically identifies it as a modern Thailand counterfeit? Are there particular details with the tag, print, or construction that give it away? Also, do you have any examples of these Thailand reproductions I could compare it against? I'm trying to learn how to identify them properly and would really appreciate any additional information you can share. Thanks again!
