Hi jimmy (and anyone else reading!),

My wife picked this t-shirt up a garage sale here in France. We weren't sure if this was legit - it was sold by an old lady clearing out stuff.

The tag is very faint, but I'm not sure if this is faded or just poorly printed - it's hard to capture on camera and probably looks fainter to the naked eye than it appears on the photos. The print is fairly thick and well cracked, that seems ok...

The actual tee is pretty thin and grey, single stitch and the neck ringer style looks ok, but to me it feels like a modern thin graphite coloured tee, rather than a worn faded black tee (I bought our son a modern Port Co tribe called quest t-shirt for his birthday and it kinda feels the same).

However I had an 80s Scorpions t-shirt that was similar feel fabric and was definitely legit... Maybe I'm just jaded by all the fakes!!

If anyone can shed any light either way, that be awesome. I've seen a couple online from a Google Lens search but I'm none the wiser!

Cheers!

You are good on this one! There are fake 3D tags, but this matches neither of the known ones.

Go back to that lady and ask if she has more!

Just appears to be faded and worn, some 3Ds have a heathered style, most are dark black. The quality of their tees we're super high so often fade pretty fast after a few rounds in the washer/dryer.

That's great, thanks Jimmy!

A good lesson in not letting yourself get too jaded!
