Merry Go Round vintage t-shirt

This tee has me confounded. Any idea on subject matter/era/value? The graphics are pretty unique, including the psychedelic glasses on the front graphic, and don't seem to be generically related to the words "Merry Go Round." The tag is pretty hard to read, but I think the RN# is 27887, which is for ...

Doolittle t-shirt

Any thoughts, including what the graphic even is? The Pixies and the Doolittle Raid are the two most prominent things associated with the word, but connecting either seems like a stretch.

Re: Hanes tag - rough year anyone?

Yeah, I have some examples of really similar Hanes tags (same H logo, angled text, different variation) with graphic copyrights of 1992-1995.

Nuclear Assault Game Over 1987 vintage t-shirt

There are some vintage Nuclear Assault tees out there, but I haven't seen any with this graphic, which appears to be the most often reprinted one for the band.

Shirt is pretty pilly, with plenty of graphic cracking and a minor mark below the graphic.

Re: NWA Straight Outta Compton t-shirt

I at least read the RN# as 3495619, which doesn't have a record.

NWA Straight Outta Compton t-shirt

Any thoughts? The tag has the roman number MCMXCII on it, which is 1992. The album came out in 1988. The graphic images seem a little odd (like the images were originally airbrushed, not the graphic itself).

Chevrolet 1956 jacket

There's no main tag on this jacket, and the only tag I can find is a lower tag with washing instructions. So, I'm wondering if this jacket is most likely from 1956, or if it's from some time more recent, and what do you think it's worth? Thanks in advance!

A Springfoot tag that's older. 70s, maybe 60s?

Re: Era for these two tags

I've at least seen that Champknit tag on a shirt from 1993 (or at least a 1993 copyright date), so I'd say early-to-mid 90s on that one.

Re: 1986 Slayer Reign in Blood

It sounds like they were incorporated in 1999, but I think they've been making shirts for longer, and around in one form or another since 1903. http://www.deltaapparelinc.com/brands/delta/default.aspx Some of these shirts, especially with a Made in the USA tag, have to be older than 1999. http://www ...

Re: 1986 Slayer Reign in Blood

Jimmy - You're probably right about this shirt, but is that true about Delta? I don't have an RN# in front of me, but I once found a Jimmy Buffett shirt with a Delta tag that looked like it was from 1992.

The Band 1983 World Tour t-shirt

So, the made in Turkey tag scared me a little bit, but I believe that this is true vintage. Imperfections include a run in the fabric on the left sleeve, a small hole on the left sleeve, and a small hole on the seam of the right sleeve. The shirt is roughly 26" from the middle of the collar to the ...

The WPL# checks out to Russell Brands. Any idea what era?

(Also, where is the best way to post stuff like this? New post like this, latch on to another post dealing with the same brand, or post in the comments section of the brand's blog post?)

Re: Help with authentication vintage stevie nicks shirt on ebay

I'd suggest clicking on the "Ask a question" link below the description of the shirt, asking the seller what type of tag it is, and even asking if they would post a picture of it. From the main picture, where you can barely see the back of the tag, it looks like it has the yellowing of an old Screen ...

Nike blue tag torso graphic vintage t-shirt

Has anybody ever seen this graphic before? I haven't been able to find another example of it. Shirt was originally a Medium, and it's in decent vintage shape, with some hard to see stains on the lower front, and some red-ish/pink-ish discoloration on the middle back.

Wilker Industries WIC Motorcycle Jacket - Is it vintage?

I need some help dating this jacket. Any idea what era it's from?

There are details that make me think it could be older, and others that don't. There's also next to nothing I've been able to find out about the company, either in Bakersfield or Nashville.

Thanks in advance for any help!
