Hello y'all!
I recently bought a 90's Pink Floyd T-shirt. I did a legit check on my own,
but I'm curious about other experts opinion. Please see and comment!

First of all, the tag is a 90's Brockcom tag, and the thickness and size of the font look like a legit.

Printing is screen printing and this is a bit confusing.

There is such a subtle difference in the printing detail of the part I marked.

The sleeves are single-stitched and the hem is double-stitched.

There is a difference in that the width of the hem is narrow compared to
the other version of the Pink floyd t shirt I have, so do you think both are legit?

And in addition to the information on 'How to identify legit brockum tags' on Defunkd,
I recently find a precisely copied fake brockum tag. I think everyone should be careful!
It's hard to identify from the photo...
Thanks for reading this long post! it would be appreciated if you reply.

Love the effort you put into this!

Re: that roll of Brockum tags - we've been trying to figure that as well.

Your item clearly isn't this version of the fake Brockum:

The ones on the roll, from what I can see look excellent and that's scary. But I've never been able to track down the reality of that post. What does it even say on the image - it could have multiple explanations - like someone managed to actually get a deadstock roll of real Brockum tags and now it's being sold like these are new counterfeits. Do you have any leads?

Here's a good resource for comparing the tags:

I wouldn't worry about the width of the double-stitch seams, though I like yer attention to detail! That could be explained by slight shrinkage after a wash. Remember, companies like Brockum outsourced their blanks, so sometimes it wasn't always one blank they were printing on.

Could you do a side-by-side, high res of the front of yours, and other versions - that aren't tilted? Always feel like if there are questions about any of the other stuff....the print becomes the most reliable.

Hi Jimmy,
Unfortunately, I can't take pictures of the other version of the T-shirt
because it's transferred to someone else. Still, I'm relieved that it's legit!
If I find any other information about the fake brockum tag(or deadstock tag),
I'll be sure to share it. Thanks Jimmy, CHEERS!

Hey Jimmy,

I'm curious what you think about the funky looking bit of stitching on the "other" in the last photo of the bottom hems of the shirts (before the pics of the Brockum roll).

Wouldn't worry me, I think there can be stitching mishaps too. What are your thoughts?

[zargosh]

I agree, just curious if you thought anything of it. I think that Brockum tag on the "other" looks legit, too.

I tried to decipher the Thai writing on the Brockum roll ad(?) with Google Lens, but it just came out as gibberish. Just because there's some very real looking Brockum on the outside of that, doesn't mean there's anything that good past the first layer. Could just be a couple of real tags covering up a whole roll of something else....like a $100 bill on top of a wad of ones.
