Vintage European In- Utero Nirvana T-shirt? This was given to me by a dude back in 1998/99 who had been to see Nirvana live. Though not sure if it was the in utero tour Wondering whether this is authentic tour merch from UK nirvana tour Label says ‘Bright Green’ which I have seen on other European Nirvana shirts.size I think is X-Large but label is faded. I cut the bottom off it back in the day as it was baggy (doh)

If you truly got it in the 90s, and it has a Giant copyright, I'd say you don't need much more info than that. Pictures of the print aren't great but the details I can see check out.
But yeah, the cut bottom hem hits the value hard. Best bet would be to have it re-hemmed and sell it as a small/med, but def. mention the repair.

That’s fantastic, thanks so much jimmy. So yeah, Was given it end of 90’s so we can surmise it’s at least an authentic tee from 94 or before? The bright green label would suggest its uk made merch?
Could you give a view on price with repair and without? (If I have to ask this in the price thread happy to do so)
Thanks again for you knowledge and time mate

The XL giant tagged ones in great condition go for $1000+.
I'm not fully sure where yours would land, it would depend on how much you actually trimmed from it, what's the length in inches?

So from shoulder to cut hem it’s approx 26 inches

That's not two bad, but you could expect to lose at least an inch to have the bottom hem returned, maybe even closer to 2, so it kinda becomes a M/S length.
Might get $250-500 out of it?
Not fully sure, or if it makes more sense to leave it - but curious how it turns out.

looks legit just the europe printing of it - selling wise probably in the 4-5 range in that condition
