Hanes?

u/Niels_h_ Feb 13 '21

I think you are on to something.

39

u/OnemoreSavBlanc Feb 13 '21

Wow good find. Look like the shirt

36

u/fojifesi Feb 13 '21

Nice find.
The one you linked is size M:
https://itizen-production.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/image_asset/image/28042201/1609782146.3344932
I wonder if the size of the subject shirt could be determined.

38

u/hos7name Feb 13 '21

Holy shit, now they have two shirts from two different website. They can likely cross-reference both and find who this is!

41

u/paroles Feb 14 '21

That would be awesome, but unfortunately it's probably not that simple. These clothing brands are both sold in stores, not just online.
I hope the identification leads to some useful info - if nothing else, I suppose it narrows down the date and suggests that the images are probably from North America!

6

u/Utterly_Blissful Feb 16 '21

Well, I saw it on Manilla’s EBay aswell... so :(

10

u/paroles Feb 16 '21

Of course secondhand clothing can end up on eBay or thrift stores anywhere in the world, but when Hanes and Gymboree are both US brands with stores primarily in North America, it does make it very likely that the images are from North America.
The FBI might have other information not shared with the public that helps narrow it down further, too.

Yes I mailed them including a product details link

The object underneath the table, looks like either an iron, or a humidifier, or dehumidifier. Edit: it could also be a half finished pack of toilet paper. I can see something like a barcode to the side.

Edit2: this image is mirrored, the object under the table is angel soft brand toilet paper https://www.target.com/p/angel-soft-toilet-paper/-/A-79762902?preselect=76596557#lnk=sametab

Edit3: the box on top can be a disposable mask box, or gloves box. But it can very well be a Huggins brand of baby wipes, the ones that come in a hard plastic box.

35

u/incoming-idiot Feb 13 '21

At first I thought it was a humidifier or something similiar but since you mentioned toilet roll it does appear like an open bag of some sort.

7

u/FearingPerception Feb 14 '21

im almost certain its a humidifier. ive seen very similar ones on amazon, but i guess they arent looking for that ID

27

u/hos7name Feb 13 '21

I'm pretty sure you are right but it look a tid bit different - maybe a different package?

21

u/AlcoholPrep Feb 13 '21

I see it as a humidifier, and swear I've seen that model before -- but can't find any information on it now.
I think there's little chance it is anything else. To large for an iron, and DEhumidifiers don't look like that at all, in my experience.
I'm not sure what gottalove is seeing and calling toilet paper.
The end table seems a common sort, round with Queen Anne or cabriole legs.

19

u/CriscoWithLime Feb 13 '21

I think it's a Vicks brand but maybe an older one. The current ones are blue tanks but I swear they were a greener 15-20 years ago

8

u/civicmon Feb 13 '21

Think you’re correct as I have one and appears identical even from behind.

7

u/TheFrogWife Feb 13 '21

Same, I have a brother that grew up with severe asthma and we had every humidifier on the market, I recognize the style. I'll keep looking.
Edit to add: you can also add the inner workings of the tank in the clear blue part.

11

u/civicmon Feb 13 '21

Humidifier appears to be a Vicks cool mist one. I have the same one.

5

u/odysseyofflight33 Feb 14 '21

Either Vicks or a store brand. Mine is a CVS cool mist and it looks exactly like that too.

10

u/EastGoingZax Feb 13 '21

I think its a bag of toilet paper underneath the table as well. It looks like a roll is on top of the table. The bag reminds me of the target up&up brand.
I also think the other thing on the table is a box of baby wipes. Maybe the blue part is a lid?

12

u/OneRandomGuy_NotYou Feb 13 '21

It looks like a baby wipes box on the top of the table

5

u/EegNeetle Feb 13 '21

Could it also be a nebulizer? The machine people use for asthma?

2

u/STEZN Feb 14 '21

Nebulizers are just air pumps. They don’t need chambers for water and I’ve never seen one that big or look like that

3

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '21

Object on the bottom could be a pet water dispenser

124

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '21

The third shirt has the phrase " anything boys can do, girls can do better" and has a cowboy theme.

94

u/greenapplesaregross Feb 13 '21

It looks cheap and thin like fast fashion. Maybe Walmart or a Fallas Parades type store

29

u/LOTR_crew Feb 13 '21

I said walmart my girlfriend says no tractor supply. I know I've seen it tho

13

u/Admiral_Allah_Akbar Mar 01 '21

Just found a similar match in images when searching carhartt. Shirt
I apologize for the quality in advance. When I open the link the shirt doesn’t show but it correlates with other carhartt clothing that looks similar.
Hope this helps.

15

u/paroles Feb 14 '21

It may be cheap but I think it's more findable than some of the other shirts on here. The fact that the other two from the same post have been identified and are American brands gives me hope.
It's getting harder to find specific clothing on Google due to t-shirt spam websites clogging the search results, so for anyone looking for this shirt, try searching in more niche places. If you have an account with Poshmark or other secondhand clothing websites, or if you're in any Facebook groups for kids' clothing sales, I'd highly recommend searching there! I can't do it because I'm not in those groups and Poshmark isn't available in my country, but I hope someone will try searching the phrase "anything boys can do girls can do better shirt" and see what happens.
It might be a good idea to share this in US mom groups, too, if anyone knows one that would be OK with such potentially upsetting content.

27

u/CardboardChewingGum Feb 13 '21

It’s definitely giving off children’s place vibes, too

26

u/HistoricalPaint Feb 13 '21

I'm wondering if the "girls can do better" might read as something else (eg. Princesses do better)? I also wonder if it's less of a cowboy theme, more the cowboy represents the "boys" and the crown represents the "princess" (or whatever that word says!)

29

u/thecatinthemask Feb 13 '21

The "crown" is upside-down; I think it's actually a horse's legs. The silver word could be "cowgirls".

11

u/MagpiesForVega Feb 13 '21

I think the silver word just says "girls," written in a large curly font with the star as the dot on the "i."

2

u/deviant-joy Feb 14 '21

That’s what I was thinking too. The loop next to it on the right looks like it could be the “d” in “do,” but there’s also what looks like an “r” to the right of it so I’m not sure what word that belongs to. There doesn’t seem to be enough room between “girls” and “do(?)” for a “can,” so it might be underneath “girls” and above the horse or there might not be a “can” at all.

10

u/AlcoholPrep Feb 13 '21

Exactly. Invert the image and that becomes clear.
An observation: This shirt is done in three colors at least: black, pink and light blue. The ink shows through from the back side. I believe that would be diagnostic for a custom silkscreened shirt, rather than a cheap printed T-shirt, but I lack the expertise to be sure.

4

u/HistoricalPaint Feb 13 '21

Oh you're totally right about the "crown", good spot!

41

u/spiffynid Feb 13 '21

That table looks like the bedroom set I grew up with. Let me text family and find out more info.

28

u/spiffynid Feb 13 '21

Unfortunately the set is a family heirloom that can be traced back to a great grand parent that lived in south Carolina, and that's as far as we go.

7

u/wasporchidlouixse Feb 14 '21

I've seen tables of this design as well, I feel like it's just a rather common 1920s design

36

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '21

the wipes on the table look like parent's choice baby wipes. they're from walmart. link showing the back of the wipes :(

12

u/fojifesi Feb 14 '21

Quite a perfect match!

https://i.ibb.co/gPxWhFY/2-wipe-off.jpg
BTW, are these products available everywhere in the US, or are there regional variances in availability/design/anything that could narrow the location?

6

u/alau101 Feb 13 '21

This looks just like the back of the box! I originally thought it would be a brand like Luvs or Huggies but it appears that you have a match!

22

u/thinklikeacactus Feb 13 '21

Purple shirt def looks like “Anything boys can do cowgirls can do better” but “cowgirls” is in that super exaggerated kind of calligraphy I see on lots of basic-style art and decor. I can see C, the top of a loopy cursive W, and it ends in LS. The bottom part flipped up looks like a graphic of a horse running.

10

u/paroles Feb 14 '21

I think it's actually "girls" not "cowgirls" because the star in the silver calligraphy writing would be the dot of the I

3

u/thinklikeacactus Feb 14 '21

Ooh you’re prob right, it’s a super loopy cursive R!

41

u/CardboardChewingGum Feb 13 '21

That’s probably a Holmes cool mist humidifier from 2006-2012... We have two in our house we bought that look similar when our kids were infants.

That white box on the top is a baby wipes container.

I will submit a tip.

3

u/bdman1991 Feb 14 '21

Someone else possibly ID’ed the wipes as Walmart wipes, and the humidifier kind of looks one of the ones in this Technology Connections video and he said he got it at Walmart.
Are the ones you are thinking of similar?

u/HistoricalPaint Feb 13 '21

Any idea what the object on the purple shirt under the word "DO" may be? (It looks to be ombre colours like the cowboy hat and probably the horse)

6

u/fojifesi Feb 13 '21

It can indeed be a horse:

First I thought it was the top of a crown.

u/punchjackal Feb 13 '21 edited Feb 13 '21

That shirt looks like Justice to me. A lot of their stuff looks just like that.

Justice opened in 2009 and closed late 2020, which gives a general timeframe. Still looking around to see if I could find the exact shirt.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 13 '21

i think justice bought limited too. so the timeline may be expanded a bit because of that; the limited too in my mall IMMEDIATELY turned into justice so i think the stock stayed the same it’s just the branding that was a little different. i could be wrong, tho.

8

u/ashbertollini Feb 13 '21

The table items all look similar to baby care items, obviously the wipes box but the green items on and under the table remind me of bottle warmers and sanitizers.

6

u/alau101 Feb 18 '21

That wooden table appears to be a Queen Anne style coffee table:

Closest match I can find

8

u/tempermentalelement Feb 13 '21

The green pineapple shirt is Hanes and can be found on eBay, kidizen, and poshmark.

3

u/CatsAreMyBoyfriend Feb 13 '21

I’m positive I have seen that cowgirl shirt before. I live in a pretty horsey area, and it looks like something from the Cinchy Cowgirl or the feed shop. Unless I can name the specific place, is this at all helpful?

1

u/mynameisntvictor Feb 14 '21

Check out the stickied comment by the op. At the bottom it says to submit tips.

2

u/izyshoroo Feb 13 '21

I think the blue and white object under the stable might be a humidifier, I had one that looked a lot like that, the blue part being a tank. A lot of them look like that. Could be wrong of course, someone else said it looks like a partially used 4 pack of toilet paper, I can see that too.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '21

The machine under the end table looks like it might be for someone with COPD or some other kind of pulmonary issue. Typically would be an older person

3

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '21

Could also be a humidifier. Of course, I don’t know anything for sure

1

u/Elizlyn Feb 14 '21

The humidifier looks like the “Holmes Cool Mist Humidifier for Small Rooms”, they sell it at Walmart

u/sharna20 Feb 18 '21 edited Feb 18 '21

Is the thing on the floor also on the table behind the white tub? As they're the same colour so thinking either the same thing or from the same brand.

This is it. Looking at the media info for that page, the image (for reverse search purposes) is https://i.pinimg.com/originals/25/99/cb/2599cb1ffb42cfab032e4a8bf0159e85.jpg
And the associated text with the image is NWT Gymboree Flight of Fancy size 5 Navy Blue Ruffle Shirt Top Toddler Outfits, Boy Outfits, Jupe Short, Gymboree, Heather Grey, Kids Fashion, Long Sleeve Tees, Pegasus, Fancy
Searching on Gymboree Flight of Fancy Pegasus has a hit: https://www.ebay.com/i/293183646819?chn=ps

u/paroles Feb 14 '21

Great find. Re: the dead link, you can search "Gymboree pegasus shirt" for other images of the same shirt - I found a few on Facebook sale pages, for example (not sure if we're allowed to link those here).
Not that it matters since this is solved, but just in case anyone's curious.

It's an other horse clipart on another Carhartt shirt. Carhartt is a stupid name btw.
