Hello everyone,

Just saw this and I think it’s really strange. Can anyone tell me is this real authentic of this shirt vintage or just bootleg?

First of all, the purple Bangladesh tag is odd.

The only Anvil tags I can find with made in Bangladesh are the 2015+ ones, the slim ones, not this more classic design.

Also, I can't find one that's purple.

Aside from the purple and place of manufacture, it does follow the same general design as their tags from 2004-2013. If I had to wager a guess, it's probably at the end of that era, just prior to switching to the slim design.

So likely not vintage, and definitely a bootleg at the time of printing.

I will keep an eye out for this purple tag though!
