Can you include the pit to pit and a better closeup of the tag?

Ms are so rarely seen that they always set off bells for me. I did find a few examples of the GIANT solely branded "Extra heavyweight" being sewn in like yours on other tees.

Is it deadstock?

In our entire database, I was only able to find one M, but it's not "extra", just "heavyweight". The pit to pit is 18.5", but clearly washed and worn - so not a great comparison.

Let's keep this to one post please, I've added the photos in here.

The I or flame in the giant logo looks off. Is it raised? or completely flat?

it feels raised i would say. Also it seems like maybe the og tag was cut and the owner replaced it with this tag.

In general, this article has a blue logo on the back of the article.

Yeah that's tricky too because often these sewn in tags, have an undertag, that could have been cut. So there are legit examples like this - but counterfeitters are now exploiting it.

Is there anything on the back of the tee?
