Vintage T-Shirt Forum & Community Authentication Appraisals

I have this Nirvana Vestibule t-shirt that I've been told is likely to be from the European leg of the Bleach tour, I've had it for just over 20 years.
I'm aware that there are quite a few reprints and variations, but from the research I've done this seems to fit the description of the oldest version. The only thing missing is the tag, which is a shame. Apart from that, there's no damage or rips, just the expected fading on a nearly 40 year old t-shirt.

I know these are worth a fair amount these days, so a more accurate appraisal would be great.

Measurements as follows:

Pit to pit- 22 inches
Shoulder to arm hem- 7.5 inches
Opening- 10 inches
Shoulder/collar seam to bottom hem- 25.5 inches
Rear collar to bottom hem- 26 inches
Front collar to bottom hem- 24 inches

Hopefully the photos are enough to go by, can add more if needed.

What's the first photo of?

Where did you score it 20 years ago?

Took the photos a few months ago but I'm pretty sure it's the shoulder.

Unusual way of getting it but I bought a copy of the Blew EP CD from someone on eBay and was offered the t-shirt as the bloke didn't wear it anymore, so it's the best piece of CD packaging I've heard of!

LOL that's a score indeed! That guy is probably crying himself to sleep.

I'm not sure if there's a way to tell it's exact origins but I'll reach out to an expert about it. Even boots of vestibule perform well.

Measurements suggest it was in XL - The tee is super boxy, which may bring the value down a bit.

Probably a $500+ piece?

Yeah I can imagine he's kicked himself a bit!
I've worn it a few times over the years, I wear large and it's about the right size on me.
I'll be interested in what the expert comes back with.

He didn't respond

Hey Jimmy, still no response from your pal?

No, he read it and didn't reply. He's in Japan so there's a bit of a language barrier.

I just pulled all the eBay vestibule sales in the last three years - I think you could safely expect in the $750-1000 range.
