Picked this up locally. Screen Stars Value Weight, single-stitch hem, Fruit of the Loom Buncrana care label. The care label appears to read “BUNCRANA, CO. DONEGEL, IRELAND” rather than Donegal.
Has anyone seen this typo on a genuine Screen Stars/FOTL garment, or is it a known fake-tag tell? Also interested in whether the print looks period-original.

Thanks, that’s helpful. Do you know what neck tag and care label the Thai repros use? I’ve found references saying the Shopee versions use a modern “23” tag, whereas mine has a Screen Stars Value Weight tag with a Buncrana care label. I’m mainly trying to work out whether the “DONEGEL” spelling on mine is a genuine factory misprint or something seen on repros.

Update: I found the Thai Shopee repro looks to have same “THE CALL ME A BUTCHER” error as mine, while the known vintage example reads “THEY CALL ME A BUTCHER.” Combined with the “DONEGEL” care label, that confirms a modern repro. Thanks for the heads up. Very convincing repro besides the spelling issues. Oh well another lesson learned.
