Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

I found this in a lot of Metallica shirts I obtained.

A couple things confuse me about the shirt. I know Bravado was around in 1988. However, the people that post these items almost always don’t picture the tag. I know that this company eventually got the right to make these shirts, but every single one I found has a copyright/date on it. This one does not. There was another tag underneath that was cut. The graphics look distressed. If it is a repro, I wonder from when.

I would rather be sure than to assume this has nothing going for it. Thanks.

Material and Size: Unknown

Print has that manufactured repro faded look. Not sure - Ive never heard of Bravado either - rings no bells. Whats the subscript say under the front print?

Wow. I never noticed that before. It is so hard to see until it showed up in the pic. I feel kind of sheepish.

It is difficult to read, but it is definitely from 2000 something.

Thanks for pointing that out.

False alarm.
