Is this a real shirt ?

Pumpkin tees are their own little universe, and admittedly, I don't have a ton of experience with them specifically.

Off the top of my head, the 30" part of the measurements seems odd.

The other thing at a quick glance, is the copyright, from the ones I saw doing a quick scan, all of MC tees I saw with a frame around the graphic - have an all caps copyright as shown below.

The tees with no border seem to have the upper and lower case copyright.

It also looks very new, and also odd that there's no tag with something that crisp.

Can we see a shot of the neckline?

Where did you get it?

I was able to find some others on Worthpoint with the lower case. But Mercari is a cesspool of fakes, reprints and reissues. And still find that length weird.

Also, the double stitch - not that it's double stitch, but how far apart the stitches actually are on yours, is more of a modern trend (we're currently working on figuring out if there is anything to this theory.)

I'm emailing you some information now.

The owner of this shirt told me he bought it from a collector along with the world is a vampire shirt and the other one looked good with the tag and print so I thought this one would be good aswell , he told me he hardly wore this one
