Nirvana - Man Who Sold the World - AOP - LC / Bootleg / Reproduction
Posted: Wed Mar 18, 2026 8:12 am
Hello everyone,
First time posting, so thank you for your patience. My main question here is not authenticity, but how to tell if it's a vintage bootleg or a decently done modern reproduction with distressing. It's a Nirvana x Ziggy Stardust AOP in medium with 21" measurement from pit to pit.
I found this t-shirt locally and, to start off, I don't believe it's authentic (but could be wrong). I compared the Giant tag against the authentic images on defunkd (with discrepancies found). That, along with the lack of real visual copyright, as the two main issues. However, it's single stitched, shirt has heavier vintage feel, and does look worn.
I included everything requested and would love thoughts. Thanks!
