Vintage 1994 Jerry Garcia Tour T-Shirt

This is a vintage short-sleeved t-shirt from the 1994 Jerry Garcia Tour. The shirt is light gray, likely made of a cotton or cotton blend fabric, typical of concert merchandise from the 1990s. The front features a large, central graphic print of Jerry Garcia, depicted from the chest up, holding a guitar neck. The image of Garcia is rendered in a black and white halftone style, giving it a classic, somewhat grainy appearance characteristic of the era's printing techniques. To the right of Garcia, black text reads 'Jerry Garcia TOUR 1994' in a stylized, slightly cursive font for 'Jerry Garcia' and a more blocky, sans-serif font for 'TOUR 1994'. The garment appears to be an 'XL' (extra-large) size, based on the context provided, which is a desirable size for vintage clothing collectors. The neckline is a ribbed crew neck, a standard construction for t-shirts. Visible condition issues include some minimal staining, possibly discoloration from age or use, and small pinholes, which are common wear signs for well-loved vintage garments. The context also indicates a 'Kingstree texfi' tag, which refers to a specific blank t-shirt manufacturer, common for concert merchandise. The shirt also reportedly features a 'back hit' (a graphic on the back), though this is not visible in the provided image. The overall craftsmanship points to mass-produced concert merchandise, but its age and association with a legendary musician like Jerry Garcia elevate its collectible value.
