We did a post about these, there are multiple versions of fakes - the one you've uploaded doesn't appear to match this:

that said, there are several fake versions.

Before I take a deeper look can you please include the measurements?

The M tag is a bit weird, but as stated in our IG post, true tags are being sewn in.

Also, can you get a shot of just the DIRTY print on the arm?

Ms are generally more rare, would love to see a shot straight on of the tag - and yeah, this is a print you have to be extra careful with, so circle back!

I believe to be fake unfortunately :( an M would never be 23" - and the tag has some issues, but it's really good. but this one is different than the one we showcased on IG.

Where did you get it?

Anyone else?

its in the UK, the guy i got it from, got it on UK vinted, he paid £200 for it thinking it was real, it is very convincing, i was given it for free as he didnt want to sell it, he said he couldnt put his finger on it but it seemed like it was probably fake

very convincing though especially when buying online!! need to be careful of any more of these!

some notes i thought:
The collar seems to be more of a weave/square shape pattern or like just normal tshirt fabric twice as thick rather than normal like a ribbing pattern

-the cracking pattern in the print seems to be majority vertical (may be induced cracking by altering the print process)

-the second line on the copyright is slightly the other way to what it should be, the real is either slightly right/slightly left of the C above, this one is opposite
