Vintage Iron Maiden 'The Trooper' T-Shirt

This is a vintage black t-shirt featuring the iconic 'The Trooper' artwork from the British heavy metal band Iron Maiden. The shirt is made of cotton and has a faded black color, indicating age and wash wear. The front graphic depicts Eddie, the band's mascot, as a British soldier from the Crimean War, charging with a tattered Union Jack flag in one hand and a saber in the other. The band's name, 'Iron Maiden', is printed above the image in a gothic-style font, and the song title, 'The Trooper', is printed below the image in a similar font. The colors of the graphic primarily consist of off-white/beige for Eddie and the text, with red, white, and blue for the Union Jack flag, which appears distressed. The dimensions provided are 21 inches from armpit to armpit and 27.5 inches from the top of the collar to the bottom hem, suggesting an approximate men's size XL, as confirmed by the 'CH Gold Series' tag mentioned in the additional context. The shirt features double-stitched hems, a common characteristic of vintage t-shirts, which often indicates good quality construction from specific manufacturing periods (typically 1990s or earlier, though it can vary). Visible condition issues include general fading of the black fabric and slight cracking or distress on the printed graphic, consistent with a vintage item described as being in 'good condition.' There are no obvious rips, tears, or significant stains visible in the provided image. The collar appears to be a standard crew neck, and the sleeves are short. The overall aesthetic is one of authentic vintage wear.
