Question 2

How can you tell if a t-shirt is vintage?

Accepted Answer

To tell if a t-shirt is vintage, first look at the neck label, where you can often find the maker's name. Researching the brand via trusted online resources can give you an idea of when the maker was in business and manufacturing tees like yours. To be considered vintage, a t-shirt must be at least 20 years old. If there is a graphic on the t-shirt, run your hand over it. Tees made in the 1980s or before usually have a textured graphic produced via screenprinting techniques, and the ink often formed cracks with wear and washing. If the graphic is pristine or has no raised feel, your shirt may be from the 1990s or 2000s. Because it can be difficult to date a t-shirt without experience and training, you may want to consult an expert, such as a certified appraiser or clothing authenticator. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of vintage t-shirts.

Question 3

What is the difference between a T-shirt and a shirt?

Question 4

How can you tell if a polo shirt is vintage?

Accepted Answer

To tell if a polo shirt is vintage, you'll need to determine whether it is at least 20 years old. To do so, identify the maker using the tag inside the neckline. By researching the brand using trusted online resources, you can learn what characteristics to look for when dating its pieces. For example, Ralph Lauren has changed its label designs frequently over the years, so the logo, font, color and wording on tags can be helpful when dating a piece.

If you need help with the dating process, seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert. On 1stDibs, explore a range of polo shirts.

Question 12

What is a white Oxford shirt?

Accepted Answer

A white Oxford shirt is a white dress shirt or casual sports shirt made of Oxford cloth, which is a durable and heavily structured fabric that consists of multiple weft threads that cross over an equal number of warp threads. Oxford cloth is said to have originated in a Scottish mill during the 19th century. The popularization of the Oxford cloth button-down shirt style, which is commonly abbreviated as OCBD, has been traced to when Brooks Brothers president John Brooks witnessed a polo match in England back then. He was so compelled by the fact that the players’ shirt collars were fastened to their shirts with buttons that he returned to the States and created a shirt design informed by the players’ garments. Oxford shirts now come in all kinds of colors and prints. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of shirts.

Question 16

How can you tell if an Off-White shirt is real?

Accepted Answer

To tell if an Off-White shirt is real, look at the neck tag carefully. Off-White has used both fabric and rubber tags on its shirts. Its fabric tags tend to have textured embossed lettering rather than flat-printed characters. Authentic rubber tags will give off a reflective shine when viewed under natural light, while replicas often don't. Regardless of the type of tag your piece has, the wording and font should match that of tags depicted in images published on trusted online resources. Off-White also includes the year of the collection on its tags. By conducting online research, you can determine if Off-White made a shirt like yours during the year listed on its tag. If not, you can typically conclude that the piece is not real. When in doubt, consider consulting a certified appraiser or expert authenticator. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Off-White shirts.

Question 17

How can you tell if a Fendi shirt is real?

Accepted Answer

If there’s leather or metal fixtures on the pattern, check to see they they’re really the materials they say they are rather than cheap imitations. 1stDibs partners with only top-vetted sellers to offer authentic pieces that come with a buyer protection guarantee.
