Anyone have hookups expertise?

I haven't delved in to them much, but did find one tag I know to be fake, below. They were coming out of Thailand about 4 years ago, but were typically sewn under, not in, like yours.

This thread might help, but yeah we need to do more digging in this area.

Here's a snippet from an interview with a Hookups gent:

The size tag is an indication. The era with the skull tag is the most faked. Those are the ones with the skull on a red cross. Then if the tags don't have a size tag, they're fake. And there are no backprints on real shirts from Hook-Ups. But the fakes often have motifs on the back. And you can see it on the collar: It's often thinner on fakes.
