Le Tigre 'The Original Tiger' Graphic T-Shirt
Le Tigre · Clothing & Accessories > Men's T-Shirts
Era / Decade
Modern (2020s); based on contemporary graphic style and the presence of a white plastic security sensor/retail tag.
Material
Likely 100% Cotton or a Cotton/Polyester blend; standard weight jersey knit commonly found in mass-market lifestyle apparel.
Condition
Mint/New Without Tags (per user description). Note that the retail security sensor is still attached, which confirms it has not been worn but might require removal tools or professional assistance to avoid damaging the fabric.
Demand Level
Moderate. Le Tigre has a niche following among those who enjoy 'preppy' or 80s-retro urban styles, but neon orange is a polarizing color that may take a few weeks to find the right buyer.

Key Features
High-visibility neon orange colorway; iconic 1970s brand revival appeal; 'Since 1977' heritage branding; brand new condition.
Authenticity Indicators
Confidence level: High. The screen printing is crisp, and the interior neck branding matches modern Le Tigre reissue font. Red flags: None, as this is a mid-market brand rarely subjected to advanced counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
No cosmetic flaws, however, the plastic security sensor is still attached. This must be professionally removed or removed with a magnet to prevent ink discharge or tearing of the neckband.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Mercari and Poshmark are best for this price point and brand. Depop is a secondary option if styled with 'streetwear' or 'retro' keywords. eBay is suitable but may have lower visibility for this specific brand.
Selling Tips
First, ensure the security tag is removed. Use keywords like 'Retro', 'Heritage', 'Streetwear', and 'Neon' in the title. Take photos in natural light to accurately represent the orange color, as neon can look 'blown out' or distorted on camera. Mention the 'Since 1977' detail to attract vintage enthusiasts looking for modern fits.
