What is this Star Wars Tee?

Post by SiamVintage »

Hi all. First post apart from the intro so i hope im posting in the right place. I had a tee exactly like this when I was in my early teens... that was almost 40 years ago. However, when performing a Google image search I can't find this t-shirt anywhere. Does anyone have any information about it please?

So you had this in the 1980s? SW didn't start actually branding their shirts with tags until the 90s, so there's potential it was that decade, but interestingly I can't find another version like this - where did you find this image?

Hey Jimmy. I took the picture myself today. Found this t-shirt in one of my wife’s tee bales sourced from the US. Given that I had one many years ago I thought it was common but as you saw, no matches online which is strange. I should have my tee from when I was young. Will see if I find it. I don’t remember a label on that version.

All over prints also weren't a thing in the 80s, well maybe late 80s. But yeah, see if you can find it!

Maybe I have the dates wrong by a decade but I was definitely quite young. Could have been the 90s I guess if full print didn’t exist in the 80s. Hope I can find my original. Never thought much about it as it’s very faded. Used to use it as sleepwear! Failing image searches, anywhere else you could suggest I can ask? Maybe some SW experts somewhere? Also would more photos help? Closeup of stitching and label maybe? The back of this tee is plain white.

Well, that type of print for star wars tees was more of a 90s thing. Can you upload a photo of it?
