w:22
l:27.5

stedman large
single-stitched

planning to buy this one but not quite sure on its authenticity

ctto of the photos

Hmmmmmm the wear certainly looks good from here, but could be manufactured. Photos aren't great to make a call with.

And I'm not a fan of that 22" chest for a Stedman Super Hi Cru, 100% cotton L...

Take a peek through here and see if you can find another L with that chest measurement.

I was able to zoom in on the back of the neck and it looks ok-ish.

thanks for the link. i saw a few large super hi cru and they range from 20-21.5 tho. could be a measuring mistake by the seller

Just wish you had closer photos - can you ask them for a close up of both front and back print?

Thanks. If it were me I would hold out for one you're 100% sure on. Or submit this it our app and I can get one of our guys to look at the print. It seems a bit flat to me - but actually saw others like it with varying degrees of wear. Initially the copyright seemed to be in the wrong place but I did find another one in the same place as yours.

The wear on the back seems very DTG, but that's also the way stuff looks when it's super worn.

The Stedman is a curve ball, so maybe see if you can find another one printed on this tag. And as for the measurements - you found Stedman Ls (42-44) with a 22" chest in our database?

hmm. seems like there's a lot of red flags over here. being so, I'll choose to pass on this one. anyway, thanks a lot Jim.

Yeah I just think go for one that has no flags...because in the future you might try to sell it and may not get as much because people will have the same questions and it might impact the value.
