1980s

Cycling event 1982. Heart of California – Double Century bike race, 200 miles in one day! Size 42-44. Logo on back of shirt, front blank. Long-sleeved.

1986 Invitational (running race) ‘Pier to Peak’ Stearns Wharf to La Cumbre Peak. Half marathon (13.1 miles/20k) starting at sea level ending at a 4000 foot peak.

Rare fan club

Wedge knew the band and this t shirt was given to him personally. There logo has a hockey stick with a reference to “black flag” , enough said would never part with it .

There was a time when you couldn’t count the number of these shirts you saw at a racetrack! Where did they all go?

Another well-worn classic, bought directly from Mr. Black while a friend was purchasing parts for his Top Alcohol flopper in Jan 1986.

BB/FC cars were never cheap to run, even back then; I’m pretty sure this t just got ” thrown in” with the invoice! Cripes, I shoulda grabbed a dozen of ’em…

United States Postal Service shirt from the early 80’s I am guessing…possibly the late 70’s. I do not know when Anvil went to this tag. I cannot find a thing wrong with this shirt, even the tag is nice and crisp. It is possible that it was never worn but I do not know for certain.

DEF LEPPARD “Pyromania Tour 1983” t-shirt, bought during their gig at the salle du Grand Parc (Bordeaux, FR) on Nov. 2nd 1983.

Tag stated M, but it fits like a S.

Despite the raglan cut, the sleeves are 1/2, not 3/4.

I’m not much on getting stuff signed, or collecting autographs; but here’s one I wish that I’d had personalized.

I bought this T directly from Roth when he was living in La Mirada & working out of his garage, Jan 86. Had an older Honda parked by the side of the house that a couple dozen pinstripers had worked over (probably priceless now!) & was building a vehicle (there really isn’t another way to describe it) to travel across China.

Cost was $10…me & my buddy both bought one.

Here’s a scarce one…Jack Green was a pretty decent guitar player & good songwriter who played with a veritable “who’s who” of British blues rockers during the seventies, & went solo in 1980.

Did a couple of great records (which I got signed at an in-store appearance the day after the concert) but I don’t recall any tour t shirts for sale at the show?

I found this at a head shop in late 1981…don’t remember the price.

This is a weird one…I need some help with this T, because it’s one of the few I didn’t buy new. (And wouldn’t admit to if I had, btw)

Pulled out of a box of throwaway shirts at a garage sale, & bears no visible signs of origin or copyrights…boot? Any advice/opinions/commentary appreciated. If authenticity/originality can be established, this one will probably get sold.

There are two white stripes sewn into the sleeves, btw.

I received this shirt when I joined the Rocky Horror Picture Show Fan Club in 1983. The printed ink has the typical cracks but the colors are bright. The fabric of the shirt is comfortably worn but has no holes or stains.
