Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

I've had my shirt since the 90s when I was a teen, I can't remember where I bought it (it was quite a long time ago to be fair lol), definitely has been worn over the years but still in good condition. I've heard sometimes these versions of my shirt are looked for but I have no idea about authenticity. The measurements are pit to pit 23 inches, length 28 inches, size XL. I've included pictures of the front, back, tag, close up, bottom, neck and arm hem. Thanks!

That's an interesting one. It's double stitching on the collar - and arm and bottom hem?

I managed to find another version of the SOGO tag, which is vaguely familiar, but we don't have in our database. It's on a 1994 Stones t-shirt.

It too has a DS collar.

Tracing the tag via Lens, I've seen this tag on two other Backstage Pass prints, both Marilyn Manson. So I feel it checks out. The print appears to match perfectly with other Canadian based HSBs. (The only reason I'm doing this legwork is that people will be instantly suspicious of this one...I was!)

Thank you so much for the info and research you did, I only posted this because a friend had said I should get it looked in to, I've never done anything like this before. I actually have 5 different Nirvana shirts from the 90s (my favorite band obviously lol) so had no idea where to even start to get an opinion. Much appreciated!

been trying to find this one for awhile could offer you 6k if youd consider that

WOW! This is a super rare and high-end shirt. Be carefull with talking to lowballing resellers. A quick search on Google shows that one sold for over 7k about 2 years ago. The right collector will pay much more these days
