Metallica Heavy Metal Samurai?

Post by glittersailor »

Good afternoon!

I picked up this T-shirt the other day as I was curious about it and it was cheap 😅
Looks to be a euro tag, it’s double stitched all round and print feels a little more vinyl-y rather than screen printed.
It’s tagged an XL but fits a lot smaller as it’s around 19-20 x 28

Any ideas?
I’m guessing it’s a bootleg as I’ve not seen this design before, I’m just not sure which era it’s from!

Thanks

Def euro tag - def a boot. Measurements suggest 80s. Euro tees did have DS in the 80s. It does look like it's a heat transfer print though? which really impacts the value.

I somehow managed to not upload the full picture so here it is 😅

Yeah it feels sort of.. plasticky, and I’ve spoken to a few other people that said they’d had tees on the same tag that had such a feel too, so I do think possibly a vinyl transfer as I know bootleggers sometimes did use this method as it was cheaper than screen printing.
I thought it was worth picking up either way, but then I couldn’t find out much about it.
