Hi there I'm curious if this Iron Maiden Tee is a bootleg or not. Has Iron Maiden embroidered at the bottom and a Yazbek tag. Anyone know what its worth?

Not super familiar with Yazbek tags, but from the quick dig I just did - looks like that's a 2000s era tag - not sure how far into the 2000s it went though, or how far back.

Yazbek says it's been around for 35 years, so that would put them in existence in 1996, when the best of the beast was released.

But the double stitch collar was less common in the 90s.

Gonna say it's probably a bootleg, Maiden stuff almost always has their copyright, and always has. And Mexico has their own set of boots.

I think the embroidery probably doesn't help its value.

Thanks I appreciate the insight. Probably a bootleg I agree
