Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Hey there. I have this Black Flag Tank Top with cut tags. Nothing remains of the tags save a spare thread. This graphic would be easy to reproduce for bootleggers, but I want to believe! Does anyone have a clue to verify? I mean, why bootleg a tank top?

The print feels slightly risen, it's of excellent quality, the style of tank is on point and it has that vintage musk about it. I sell vintage tees on etsy, and I'm not going to offer it up without knowing for sure.

Thanks for any opinions!

You would see a sleeveless rather than a tank in the 80s and usually a punk tee was cut sleeveless. Many modern BF prints have the 1985 copyright...and yeah its been a huge target for bootleggers.

Ok, good to know. Thanks a lot.
