Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

Could somebody please help me legit check this? Thank you!

A few oddities. I've checked several other prints, and this particular portion of the R in the oval is different on yours. There's on tiny closed loop on all of what appear to be OG ones.

Also, the positioning of the I and O on yours lines up differently with the R. On these other versions IO is directly below the shaft of the R and loosely lines up with it, yours is skewed differently.

I actually can't find another one like yours, so that would be job one - find another one with the same characteristics as yours.

What is the pit to pit?

P2P is 17, length is 25. Yeah, I noticed the discrepancy too with the r. Maybe it could be a bad printing job but still vintage? Do you think everything else checks out?

The tag seems to be from 1997-ish, made in USA, measurements check out.

Seems odd that someone would go through all the trouble and put it on a S t-shirt which limits the appeal and value.

That said, I would want to find others like it given the discrepancies in the print.

Even this one in our forum posted a decade ago has the loop:

Have you been able to find any others?

I found some with a logo that closely resembles mine:

1. https://metadiary.wordpress.com/2014/01 ... radiohead/

2. https://grailed.app.link/ZnjZduiTEMb (this one might be a bit newer)

3. And then searching up “Radiohead My Iron Lung shirt” also brings up a whole rabbit whole of options with the same logo

Thoughts?

Good sleuthin -

The first one, perfect on the closed loop, although the line up of the I and O is aligned.

The grailed one has the radio head font wrong - if you focus on the D and O, so maybe we eliminate that from the mix. That one is prob counterfeit.

So still not a perfect match.

Did you find one on the same tag?

I tend to over scrutinize 1 or two color simple prints because they are so easy to duplicate.

What does the print on the shirt feel like? Rubbery or scratchy?
