Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hi everyone,

I just received a The Smashing Pumpkins – Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness Tour 1995 t-shirt, recently purchased on a secondhand website. I'm a little wary because, as many have already noticed, counterfeits are increasingly common, even for vintage items.

So I wanted to ask your opinion on its authenticity. I'm attaching photos (label, print, stitching, etc.) so you can take a look.

Thank you in advance for your feedback and expertise; it's really helping me with my purchases right now!

Did they they ever have a rubbery feeling to the graphic? I have one that looks exactly like the one op posted but on a made in mexico tag

Yep, that's how it is, friend.
