Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

I recently did a trade for this godsmack self titled shirt, been searching for it for a while and this one seems way to clean so I am reaching out to see if its legit. The story goes the guy was getting it from his homie which ended up being a random seller from Japan. which turned out to be a seller from Thailand. Now aside from where he got it he did say the Giant tag was coming unstitched so he pulled it off the rest of the way and restitched it. Please review the photos of the stitching on the neck. He did say the tag was originally stitched on the neck hem and he decided to stitch it under the neck hem. Whats throwing me off is why is a giant tag coming unstitched on a near deadstock looking shirt? All of my other giant tees never seem like they are coming unstitched. So the story is throwing me off with how clean the shirt is. Any help is greatly appreciated Measurements seem to be about 21.5x28

I apologize this photos are sideways it did not show up like that on the upload

All good, for some reason the system does that, but they are right-side-up when I click on desktop.

I looked at the photo before I read and did notice the stitching being off above the tag - I did see another Giant with the Sewn in on the collar tag, shown below. It would be odd for it to come loose on a deadstock tee.

I'm not a fan of the repair, but I do appreciate that they were honest and disclosed that they did it. The problem with it is, you'll always be on the defensive about whether it's legit - so it impacts the value.

But lets ignore the tag, what does everyone think of the print. I only did one comparison (to the one attached to the tag below) and it was fine.

All good from the material and print
Its legit
