Title: 1979 Tour T shirt
Post by: Simon on June 05, 2011, 12:41:44 PM
The original as purchased by me - either it shrunk or I grew a lot because I was going to pose with it on but decided against it when it got stuck half way down my body!

What a great keepsake, even if it doesn't fit anymore.

Oh its a keeper  -it even has paint stains on it from when decorating over the years - it went 'hand in hand' with the soundtrack that was playing at the time!

Great to have that one! I think my oldest one is 1992. In 1985 I did my first concerts of DS but have to go through my shirts to see if I have an older one. Good idea to have a thread like this  :D

My mum and dad used to have a couple of 1996 shirts. Unfortunately they're completely worn out and got more than the usual 4 holes. ;D Btw, did anyone had the same problem? My 2008 KTGC shirt died after 1,5 years while my SL and ATRR shirts are still in use...

I just like posting them because I had hair back then... I'd suggest you did the same but I guess it was just box brownies in your day. ;)

I only have 2 GL T-shirts, one grey and one white.  The white one was a gift from another fan.  The grey one I bought for myself.  It was the best investment I've made on a shirt.  I love wearing them both.  I feel soooo good when I wear them.  I don't wear them all the time, only for some special occasions.  I don't want to wear them out !!

I also got another shirt sent to me very kindly from Knopfling.  It's a BIA tour shirt.  A little too big for me, but I love looking and admiring them all. 

I also have a bunch of unofficial MK jackets, jeans, blouses that I designed myself.  I wear those quite often.  I wear my jeans with MK design on them everyday.
