What is the Oldest T-Shirt you own

***Pauler*** · 03-24-2009, 08:25 PM

one of my most prized possessions is this 1988 or 1989 bart simpson tshirt. i got it when i was in junior high. it is about 20 years old, and i refuse to get rid of it even though there have been plots to throw it away.

what is your oldest tshirt and post pics.

I don't have pics right now, but there's actually a competition between some of my tees for the title of oldest. here are the top two:

one of them is from the mid-70s and is a pretty good contender for 1st place. it's bright yellow (although now it has some pale orange all over it as well, thanks to my mom soaking it in oxyclean in a bowl that was stained with tomato paste) and says "california" across the front with different pictures of typical california items. it sounds like a corny tourist shirt, but it's actually a lot of fun.

the other one is a red shirt that says "drink coca-cola" on the front in farsi and "have a coke and a smile; coke adds life" on the back in english. anyone who watched project runway when andre was on probably saw his shirt. I have no idea where he got his, but I am positive it was not from the mid- to late-70s. mine is a hand-me-down from my dad's college days.

I have a "Marines do it Best" Tshirt from the late 60's. It was formerly my days. I wore it regularly in high school, but it's in "Shirt Retirement" right now, so I only wear it on special occasions, such as military holidays. I would post a pic, but the shirt is in Memphis, and I am not.

I got it from a thrift store eight years ago - not sure how old it is. I still love it.

oh yeah. I totally forgot I have one of my mom's from college too. haha. I'll have to find it later.

I'm quite sad that it's no longer even remotely presentable.

This is an awesome thread idea, by the way...

I've got a couple shirts to show. They're not as much old as they are completely worn down from many wears and washes...

I have a T-shirt that I really charish from about 1983. I was in the Navy at the time and we went to Grenada, and took part in liberating the country. I have a T shirt from there that was made by some US students at one of the colleges that has a picture of the Grenadan flag, and the words thank you for liberating us.

I don't have old shirts, but 2 shirts that are old to me... I am 25, and I still wear some white cheesy christian undershirts that used to be not undershirt quality when I got them in the 4th grade.
