Is this tribal design authentic? Could it be a re-stitch?

Can I verify its authenticity just by the tag or the pattern?

Please lmk your thoughts, getting mixed opinions from various groupchats. Honestly looks real to me but I know this graphic is heavily repped.

Bought for 28 in all

I purchased this about 4 years ago and posted in here for a legit check and it was confirmed legit just wanting to double check and maybe sell for the right price

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!

Recent story post shows his number nine for the first time on a runway since he left on 2009.

Does this mean anything? New footwear from n(n) too?

i was wanting to get a legit check on these jeans i got a little ago.

Fake or Legit?

Can anyone help identify this Number (N)ine T-shirt?
It has an old Number (N)ine size 3 tag, but I haven’t been able to find any archive references, catalog scans, runway photos, or past sales matching this exact graphic.
The print reads:
“VANDALISM BEAUTIFUL AS A ROCK IN A COP’S FACE”
I know the phrase is associated with the punk band Feederz, but I’m trying to determine whether this was an actual Number (N)ine release from the Takahiro Miyashita era, or if it’s a later custom or bootleg print on a genuine Number (N)ine blank.
Has anyone seen this design before or owns one with matching tags and care labels?
Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
