1980s

Sadly no tag, but copyright on shirt is 1988.

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.
