Hi Mike, I have to say that t-shirt looks newer than the 60's to me - in fact much like the ones I remember from the 90's. I would have thought the price also fits with a later decade.
Have you opened any? the fabric details and care information can tell you more about when it is from.

Hi Mike!

Could you post a close up of the label? Are they made in the USA?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

I do think they are vintage but not exactly how old for sure. I can tell you that deadstock mens undergarments - even simple white tees - can sell very well. Boxer shorts, tees, briefs - they can all sell for good money if they are deadstock in their packaging. They frequently go to costumers who are looking do wardrobe a character in period authentic items as I am guessing that maybe the actors prefer to have unworn underthings - I know I would!

I will see if I can do a bit of research and narrow it down some more for you as far as the date.

Thanks for sharing.
