Hi dudes, what you think of this?
Had for around 15 years.
Some very slight faint yellow color run from rear lettering. Cheers

Where did you get it?

It's single stitch right?

Can we see the tag? And what's the pit to pit?

I'm stumped by this one. The only white ones I can't find are mostly modern repros.

None with the dates on the back. None with that brockum copyright, which does kinda look odd, bootleggish.

If you know you've had it for 15 years, then would say it's vintage.

The only thing that scares me is that in Cali around that time there was a massive counterfeit t-shirt op, using single stitch, very vintage-esque tees. You can read about them here:

When you say warehouse, you mean a second hand clothing one?

The fonts aren't correct either, which def indicates a bootleg, but very well could have been a product of 15 years ago, intended to be passed off as vintage.

I also tried to find one with those tour dates on the back, even in black, and haven't been able to yet, you?

Again, stumped, would really like to find another one somewhere. Have you been able to?

A re-print.Offical and were sold at the last tour, homepage, music stores etc.

Never printed in white back late 80’s. And not 15 years ago either. Time to refresh memory:)
