Does anyone know whether these shirts are authorized? The company has plenty of designs, and I'd like to buy from them, but not if they're bootlegs, etc.

Thanks.

I'm guessing the answer is "No".

First clue is the pound sign.

Copyright laws are different than in the US.

Facebook has several advertisers like this selling all kinds of band shirts, sweatshirts, jackets, hats.

Not authorized or licensed.

Thanks. That's what I figured. Also, because they're overseas, it would probably be more effort than it's worth for the owners of the images to take legal action.

Sigh.

Too bad because I wish there was more legit ABB merch out there.

Bands usually don't even bother trying to stop it with some countries. The bands/families don't get paid nor do the photographers who took the pictures.

That said. I imagine that many on here have spent plenty of money on the ABB. Not to mention the various family bands. I don't think Gregg will lose sleep if you bought a Duane shirt. I would be more concerned about quality.

The ABB all signed my buddy's homemade Duane shirt. Loved the picture. Didn't seem to mind but it also was obviously a one off and not somebody selling shirts.

I've bought shirts from DJtees. They are Gildan shirts for several years now and have held up very well through various washings. The screening or whatever the imagine process is called is well done too, doesn't peel or wear off. 100x better quality than any outside the venue bootleg shirts you might get and actually as thin as legit concert t-shirts are getting these days...the Gildan shirts I've bought from DJtees seem to be a higher quality shirt in terms of thickness than the latest official shirts I've bought.

I should mention...I bought one of those Jim Marshall 1971 Duane shirts, probably from hittin the note, I can't remember in XL, it shrank so bad I can't wear it. So just because it is official doesn't mean the quality is right.

Just bought a nice Rory shirt from this company.Quality is good. Honestly have no idea if they are official or not. One thing I would say tho' is the sizes are slightly smaller than American sizes usually come in at. so whatever size you usually buy, next size up might be an idea.

I don't mean to open up a can of worms because I know this has kind of been a point of contention with a few folks here but:

I bought a shirt for The Jam For Duane a few years ago. The image looks just like the ones posted here. I assume it is legit.

I agree with this as well. I got a Duane and a Willie Nelson from the Jim Marshall shirts and both seemed to go down in size quickly.

I'd like to know where Derek gets his shirts! He is always wearing a cool blues or jazz t-shirt.
