I bought six of these shirts. Two shipped from Amazon, and the rest shipped from "shopblueco". All six appear to be legitimate American Apparel "2001" shirts, and all six have tags. They fit exactly like the American Apparel 2001 shirts that I've had for years.Speaking of which, AA has, by far, the most consistent fit of any t-shirts I've bought in decades, these shirts fit exactly the same as the shirt I have from around 2006. Compare that to the tees I've bought from Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Mossimo, and Eddie Bauer, where every order -- and even different shirts within the same order -- have fit differently! American Apparel's quality control seems to be the best in the business. I assume this is because other brands don't actually manufacture anything, and they switch suppliers constantly, whereas AA has complete control of the entire manufacturing process.As always, remember that AA tees run more snug than most brands. However, they're probably the longest standard size tees I've found. At 6'2" 190 Lbs, a size large is *just* long enough.
