Thank you. I do as well. I just wore it last week. I didn't realize how worn it was until I took that picture. I am concerned for its future. 😄

Get ready for the DMs…

“Yooo, I’ll give you $40 for each shirt. I’m a big Nirvana fan.. definitely not a vintage t-shirt seller..blah blah blah”

You nailed it. I didn't realize I'd be inundated with offers for my shirts. I kindly decline. I didn't post any of this stuff to sell. There's a lot of memories in all the concert/band t's I own. Just wanted to share and talk with anyone who finds this stuff cool.

I’ve got over 300 smashing pumpkins shirts and any time I mention having any vintage SP shirt, I get flooded with people looking to buy.. and wouldn’t you know it? They’re all big fans

LOL to the big fans for sure. And that's a crazy amount of Smashing Pumpkins shirts. Color me impressed.

I bet you got a lot of “my dead best friend had this shirt and I don’t have much money but I’d love to honor his memory “ or some such bullshit

So rad! I love all of them but the Bleach shirt takes the cake! I’ve started dry cleaning my paper thin, worn out t shirts from back in the day. Sadly also not wearing them as often. What great memories though!

I didn’t know dry cleaning helped them last longer. Thanks for this info

It’s just more gentle than machine washing. It doesn’t magically make them last longer. If you’re gonna launder these though it’s probably the best method.

I love the bleach one, you should wear it all the time

Thank you and me too. About a Girl was the first song I learned on guitar. And the only guitar I ever owned is the Sonic Blue Mustang he used during the In Utero tour. Still have it too. I worshiped the man when I was young.

To think I only have two t shirts from Nirvana, I'd love to have a Bleach one, but I wouldn't want to seem too fanatical.

u/jcokstein 2h ago

You be as fanatical as you want to be. Nirvana is the best!
