So I got this gucci shirt from the thrift store for $15. I'm not entirely sure if it's real gucci so I'd appreciate someone's input. Based on these pictures what do we think? I can't find the same shirt online.
And if I planned to sell the shirt, how much would I sell it for?
Thanks!

Your best bet is to try looking in this link, BUT the chances are it's fake (the stiching looks very suss on the label) and unless you have reciepts for it, it would be foolish to try selling it on eBay. Even if this listing is allowed under the VERO program.
Edit to add, you've posted this on the Australian boards.

Firenze is Floeance and is a province in Italy in the Tuscany region Gucci was founded in 1921.Your tag does say made in Italy it may well be an old design.$15 is a lot of money to fork out especially of you know n.othing about the product. though and I have no idea to the value
I know the second part of my answer does not help but I hope the first part helps some

As padi mentioned the stitching on the label is very poor. Gucci would never sell an item with stitching like that. The base of the label also appears poorly cut in the photos. Is the back of the brown Gucci tag white card as appears in the photo. ? I would expect Gucci would use higher quality card in the tag, although some of their boxes have printed exterior with gloss white card on the inside..
With all fashion labels, the first thing to look at is the stitching. Is it completely uniform ? even on tight corners etc. Are the seams well finished or slightly ragged with irregular stitching ? Top labels have perfectly uniform, tight stitching, even where it is difficult to see. Knock offs invariably have defects in the stitching, stitched lines not perfectly straight, irregular width between individual stitches, particularly in tight spots and uneven curves in stitching on tight corners.
The fittings such as zip handles etc. on knock-offs often have moulding marks or seams and the plated finishes wear easily, showing base metal or plastic. Zips on genuine articles are very high quality and operate with velvet smoothness. Knock offs often have glue lines visible on seams etc. on purses and bags. You will never see glue lines or marks on the real thing. The genuine article usually holds its shape perfectly, while cheap knock offs can sag and distort over time.
The letters on fake labels are not always printed with perfect uniformity and sometimes just look cheap.The genuine article uses high quality printing techniques on quality card or fabric. The edges of fabric tags on the genuine article are uniform and well finished, without any ragged or rough edges.
Basically if you can see any inconsitancies of any sort on close inspection, it is probably a knock off..

The letters on the clothes tag ( picture 4 ) are very rounded and elongated, not at all like they should be. Definately a fake and not a very good one either.
