Need help
Hi everyone,
I bought this Number (N)ine T-shirt from a well-known legitimate vintage/archive store in Osaka while I was in Japan. I’m 100% sure it wasn’t bought from a random marketplace or reseller.
However, someone told me it’s fake because:
the neck tag looks different,
the care tag placement is different,
the shirt color looks different.
I attached comparison photos of my tee (“Real”) and the one they claim is “Fake.”
From what I know, Number (N)ine has used different neck tags, care tags, factories, sizes, and blank colors across different production runs and reissues.
Is there anything in these photos that actually proves mine is fake, or is this just a different production batch/year?
I’m looking for objective opinions from people who know the brand—not just guesses. Thanks!
