Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

So I was thrifting last week in a usually dry goodwill, and right off a new rack while making new friends with a goodwill worker that let me check the new rack I found this 90s or late 80s Size Large MadeInUsa FruitOfLoom Flying Tigers x Federal Express Air Freight Shirt with cool art back hit, I’m thinking of probably keeping it cause it’s my first white vintage shirt (my best cuz i’m still new was a black reebok y2k allen iverson tee). Anyways, after researching, it’s apparently a WW2 pilots that created a airfreight company that later merged with fedex, so it made me suspcious that the signature inside the shirt is a pilots signature idk if that adds any value but still very cool. I couldn’t find any comps except for a similar one for a air fed ex back hit that had it priced 70 bucks on grailed and not a sold comp, i was thinking 20-30 before hand but now Im not sure. Any help with this is appreciated

Probably gonna keep it for good luck cuz it was my first single stitch white vintage shirt, but It will be cool to get some advice on the value of this - Tux

Very cool story and research. Are you thinking that black part near the seam is a signature?

Seems unlikely someone would sign the inside of a shirt.

The piece does look like it's crispy deadstock though!

Yes sir, it seems to look like that. I was wondering why there was a random ink stain from the front, but then I looked inside and found what looks like a signature of some sort. By looking at it closer I could only get CHA and the rest of the letters I cant illegible to me, But I apologize for it being upside down haha.
