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?

Accepted Answer

The main difference between a T-shirt and a shirt is style. A shirt usually features a collar. A T-shirt is collarless and may have a crew, scoop or v-neck. Also, shirts are usually produced out of woven fabric, while T-shirts tend to be knit. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of shirts and T-shirts.

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. With other makers, you may need to examine stitching, fabric content, wash tag design and other details. 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.

On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage Fendi clothing from some of the world’s top sellers.

Question 15

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

Do Off-White shirts run big?

Accepted Answer

No, Off-White shirts don't run big. Most online reviewers report that Off-White is true to size. However, many of the luxury brand's shirts have an oversize cut.

Question 18

How do I spot a fake Versace T-shirt?

Accepted Answer

To spot a fake Versace T-shirt, look for even the slightest trace of sloppy workmanship, such as stray threads or a blurry pattern. Stitching should be meticulous and precise. Any spelling or spacing errors evident in engraved hardware or within logos that appear on wash tags and collar labels are indicators of a fake T-shirt. Additionally, the storied Italian luxury house works strictly with high-quality fabrics. If your garment feels flimsy or cheap, chances are it’s a fake. For contemporary T-shirts and other apparel, Versace developed an online authentication system. For more information and next steps, consult the brand’s official website (you will likely need a smartphone).

Each impeccable stitch on a genuine Balmain T-shirt will appear even, and there won’t be any detectable irregularities.
