Bolt Authentic Appraisal

Vintage "Bolt Authentic" Long-Sleeve T-Shirt

This is a vintage long-sleeve t-shirt, predominantly light grey heather in color, constructed from a cotton or cotton-blend fabric. The shirt features a crew neck design with a ribbed collar that is black on the outer edge and light grey inside, matching the main body of the shirt. The cuffs of the long sleeves also feature a black ribbed trim, creating a cohesive visual element with the collar. The most prominent feature is the graphic print on the chest. This graphic consists of an oval-shaped design with a dark grey or black background, bordered by an orange-red outline. Within this oval, the word "AUTHENTIC" is boldly written in yellow capitalized letters, with a stylized red five-pointed star replacing the letter 'E'. Above the oval, the word "BOLT" is printed in a distressed red font, and below it, smaller text that appears to read "LIGHTNING BOLT QUALITY" and "LOS ANGELES" is visible. Below the main oval, further small text or markings are present, though not entirely legible, possibly indicating manufacturing details or slogans. The fabric shows minor signs of wear, typical for a vintage garment, including some creasing and slight pilling, but no significant tears, holes, or major stains are visible from the image. The print itself appears to be in good condition with minimal cracking or fading, suggesting a decent quality screen print. The overall construction appears standard for a casual long-sleeve t-shirt, likely from the late 20th or early 21st century, given the style of the graphic and the material. The dark trim on the collar and cuffs adds a subtle design detail that elevates it beyond a basic long-sleeve tee.
