is this a fake shirt being sold on etsy? opinions?

Post by johnnythunders72 »

hi-
I was wondering if someone could help me figure this one out. some guy is selling a "new york dolls" johnny thunders vintage shirt on etsy. here's the listing:

https://www.etsy.com/listing/547556611/ ... y-thunders

Now...if you look at the tag it shows what looks like a very new Hanes tag. I googled what vintage hanes tags look like and they look nothing like that tag. Especially the 70s/80s tags when this shirt would have been made. He is charging 300+ on the listing...I rarely see dolls shirts as it is and I find it very hard to believe that this was made in the 70's with that weird tag. Any body else have an opinion??
(sorry if the link doesnt work??)

Definitely not 70s or 80s.
