Vintage Concert T-Shirt Tags

Manufacturer tags are the fastest era check on a vintage concert tee. Blank makers (Screen Stars, Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, Anvil) date the cotton; merch companies (Brockum, Winterland, Giant, Nice Man) date the license. One shirt can carry both stories. Use the decade roundup for a chronological tour, then open each maker leaf for generation photos and a shop module of authenticated stock. See the tags-by-decade guide for the full roundup and the authentication reference for stitch, print, and fake tells.
