banksy leopard barcode ben sherman hoodie, by leeblamire on Jan 30, 2011 21:12:42 GMT 1, Hoping someone out there can help me, I have owned a banksy hoodie for well over ten years now. I used to live in bristol until recently and aquired it from a mate. Apparenin some way.tly it was a trial run hand printed for a promotion of a electro music tour. The print is on the right hand side about 5" in size. The strange thing is it is printed on a ben sherman grey hoodie which contradicts the banksy style but it is. I was hoping some one out there could help me in directing me towards someone that would be able to authenticate it. Also if it is an original banksy print would it be advisable to frame the screen printed top or keep as is. please help.
cheers

That said I'm not sure that you'll be able to authenticate this - i had contacted them about the record covers he did for wall of sound and they said that while banksy had done some they were not considered works of art and therefore they couldn't authenticate them. I have a feeling that this may be the case with this.
Sounds interesting though and a great item - i'd suggest framing it and enjoying it (i have done this with my banksy x griffin t-shirt).
good luck

If you are looking to sell, then yes you will have to ask PC, they are the only ones who can authenticate it, unless you know Mr B himself. I would only frame it if the design looked good though, just becuase its Banksy does not mean it would look good on the wall. Do you have any Pictures you would share, it may jog some memories from members.
