What's the oldest T-shirt that you still wear at least once a month?

[Bonobo]

Please be specific.

Mine is a 1985 yellow Adrian Belew shirt that says "ADRIAN BELEW" in (once) bright pink letters.

1. Unfortunately the old T-shirts I'd wear often

I made the mistake of wearing to work at my last job... so they all got worn out pretty quickly.

I don't think I own any t-shirts that are older than a couple years old right now.

2. A really gorgeous Batik shirt

That I got in 1999 at the Whole Earth Fair at UC Davis. Still holds up. Kind of a river forest scene. This artist is really incredible...

[Redstone]

3. Well, none of my t-shirts have anything written on them, so I wouldn't be able

to tell which one I'm wearing at any given time. Also, they're always underneath my outer shirt anyway.

Yeah, I know, I'm a fossil.

4. One from the 1989 Paris Airshow. It's pretty raggedy.

5. No t-shirt for me. Flannel...Every f'n day.

See?



I live in it, sleep in it, interview in it, watch movies in it, cook, clean, and read books in it.

35. Love Your Hair

I've been waiting about thirty years for mine to finish turning from Kraft caramel to silver. Seduced and abandoned from time to time by L'Oreal. Not there yet (maybe 60%?).

And I'm with you on the flannel, but I'll go for other soft, cottony things that just FEEL good.

6. 1993

Correctional Olympics
Tennesee

Have many that are older
but, are not worn that often.

[NightWatcher]

7. one of these, but severely faded from 199???

or this one from 1999

8. I don't think I have any really old t-shirts that I still wear.

I have some shirts that date back at least 15 years, but I don't wear them.

[av8rdave]

Still wear a Neil Young Greendale Tour shirt from 04 from time to time

[Fox Mulder]

9. My oldest t-shirt is about a year old.

If that. And they're all one solid color.

[Bonobo]

10. Wow, these responses are going to make me think...

that I am a dirty old fart.

[harmonicon]

11. a Ministry tour shirt from '91 or '92

I've got older shirts, but for some reason that was one of them that made the move with me here - I've only got maybe ten t-shirts in my apartment, which is fine by me. I'd say most of them are 5 years old, at least.... a few are definitely over 10 years old.

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Probably the one that says

LUDWIG VON BEETHOVEN

EUROPEAN TOUR, 1809

[Sacajawea]

13. From early '70s...classic head shot of Beethoven with him holding a container of Dannon yogurt....

with the words underneath (in old German text-type lettering) saying: "This is my fifth."

I think it was a promo I got for sending in yogurt container lids or something.

[DarkTirade]

22. ... I bet it's a knockoff.

:P

[Broken_Hero]

14. my Autobot tshirt

its 8yrs old now...I at least wear it twice a month....its pretty holy though....:D

[conscious evolution]

20. It used to be god

Now its just holy!

[Bzzzz]

15. A Inter-Mural...

High School Sports T-shirt from Elizabethtown, KY from 1980. It was given to me from a friend I met at the local community college. It has several holes in it, but I just can't bring myself to throw it away.

[rug]

16. Strand Bookstore T-shirt. Olive. 1997.

[LynzM]

17. South Windham Run and Bike Day - 1983

And I was born in 1980 :) I own two of these, they are my absolute favoritest, softest, not-fit-to-wear-to-work shirts!

[BlueIris]

18. A really nice tie-dye I bought in San Francisco in '96.

Very comfortable and high quality. I would LOVE to find another one. The tag say some company called "Double Bull" made it.

[bikebloke]

19. Volkswagon Bug filled with bug-eyed aliens

I get roughly ten years out of a T-shirt. A discovery I made is that they last longer if you don't put them in the dryer. I let them dry on a hanger in the closet. I think that's close to my oldest. But relegated to a winter shirt due to holes. No one can see it under all my winter gear when I'm out and about pedaling.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

21. Something from 1999.

It's an old Lucky Brand Tshirt. It's dark green, and has a bulldog on it. The front is on the front and his butt is on the back.

23. My "Genuine Antique Person" Shirt

Says "Been there, done that, can't remember shit." Bought long before I turned 50, and I don't want to say how long I've had it. But now it, too, is a genuine antique.

[peekaloo]

24. Dead Milkmen 'Metaphysical Graffiti' & a Twin Peaks High School Phys. Ed.

I'm guessing they're from the late '80's/early 90's. :dunce:

p.s. to the lowlife in Houston who stole my glow in the dark B-52's 'Cosmic Thing' (with tour dates on back)shirt....bite me.

[MrCoffee]

25. I have two freebies from 95 that I wear all the time

One is a Matador Records T that I got for free at their showcase at SXSW (Yo La Tengo headlined, one of the best shows I've ever seen)

The other is a freebie that I got for donating a pint of blood while I was still in undergrad. It's my favorite T shirt ever.

[NewJeffCT]

26. I still have a 10,000 Maniacs t-shirt from the early 90s

that I wear sometimes.

I still have a few t-shirts from the mid to late 80s, but I'm a bit too chubby to wear them now. (Don't blame me, I voted for Bill 'n Opus)

[AllegroRondo]

27. Rush tour shirt from 1989

Presto tour. Its holding up surprizingly well.

[Rambis]

28. 1985 spiral dye

It is getting raggedy but the colours are still bright as the day I bought it.

[Iggo]

29. OzzFest 2005. n/t

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

30. A pink t-shirt my boss gave me in 1990

It has a cartoon of a huge white cat and says, "Owner of the World's Cutest Cat." I still wear it - it's in perfect condition. Fortunately my boss had the foresight to give me a shirt large enough to adapt to my changing figure (I weigh about 50 lbs. more than I did in 1990, sadly).

[Zavulon]

31. 1980 shirt from Rush's Permanent Waves tour

Faded a lot, but the stitching hasn't given in one iota. I've got one from the Moving Pictures tour as well, 1981, although that one looks like moth food and is likely to be used to remove Turtle Wax from my car this spring.

[meegbear]

32. Pink Floyd Division Bell shirt ...

I didn't goto the show, I was flipping the stations and found it being sold ... on QVC. :hide:

[Not_Giving_Up]

33. I'm wearing mine right now

I have a t-shirt that dates back to my junior year in hight school...we're talking 89-90 here. It's gray with the Texas A&M logo on it. I wanted to be a veterinarian, and I lived in Texas, so that was where I wanted to go to school. I did my homework in it and slept in it every night for two years. My husband hates it, it has a hole in it now, it's nearly see through because it's been washed so many times. I don't care....it's comfy.

[SacredCow]

34. A concert T-Shirt....

Hoodoo Gurus from circa 1991. Looks sorta like the following, without the band photos in the lenses of the glasses.
