Metallica Kirk Hammett Live Shit Binge Purge T-Shirt

Post by Tracyh74 »

Is this legit and where was it sold. I recently acquired this awesome shirt, but cannot find any information online. Not sure if it is a custom made or was sold as part of a promo.

Well, I can't find any record of it on WorthPoint - it's not available for sale on any of the big platforms - nor does the imagery trigger anything on Google images.

What's the tag? Is it single/double stitch?

The graphics seem very dull and faded - or is that just the camera?

Yeah, hmmm. The color looks dull and with that closeup of his face you can see chips rather than cracks coming off the print - so I think maybe a DTG print. But still can't say for sure without seeing it in person. And just because it's DTG doesn't mean it's not legit.

More info about that here: https://www.defunkd.com/direct-to-garment/

The tag looks old enough, ha.

Can I see the outside of the sleeve and bottom hem?

Stumped. Euro tees had double stitching earlier than US ones. So it could be euro-based. I have no idea what that tag it but it could be a generic euro tag. But also think there's a possibility this is a more recent DTG print, which doesn't necessarily mean it's not legit. The biggest challenge is that I can't find another one like it. So it's rare on some level, whether that means a fan-made thing, a limited edition, no way to currently tell. I would just hang on to it and keep an eye peeled for other ones that pop up.
