13. The tag in the McConnell pic is obviously a care tag, as is the one on that Facebook page, though

Yesterday

one tag is horizontal and the other is vertical. I also saw photos of vintage RL shirts where instead of a care tag, it was a tag with Ralph Lauren's name. So the type of tag varied.

The point is that old shirts often had tags there, as the people answering on Facebook explained. The brand isn't important.

This tag isn't something that suggests, let alone proves, that the photo is fake.
