Vintage Harley-Davidson Sturgis Long-Sleeve T-Shirt

This is a vintage-style long-sleeve t-shirt, likely made from cotton or a cotton blend, as suggested by its soft drape and visible slight pilling. The garment appears to be a faded charcoal gray or dark blue, possibly due to age and washing, contributing to a worn, authentic vintage aesthetic. It features a prominent graphic on the back, centered across the shoulders and mid-back. The main graphic includes "Sturgis" in a flowing script font at the top, followed by the classic Harley-Davidson Bar & Shield logo, which reads "MOTOR HARLEY-DAVIDSON CYCLES". Below the logo, "SOUTH DAKOTA" is printed, indicating an association with the famous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally held in South Dakota. The printing shows signs of slight cracking and fading, particularly on the white elements, which is consistent with screen printing on aged fabric. The shirt has long sleeves with standard cuffs, and a crew neck, although the front is not visible. The overall condition suggests regular wear, with no obvious major tears or holes, but a desirable, distressed patina that enhances its vintage appeal. The visible texture of the fabric indicates a mid-weight material, suitable for a casual long-sleeve tee. Stitching appears to be consistent with mass-produced apparel of the late 20th or early 21st century. The style period is likely late 1990s to early 2000s, given the faded look and graphic design common during that era for motorcycle rally merchandise. The craftsmanship is typical for casual wear, prioritizing comfort and durability over haute couture details, and the quality is indicative of durable promotional or souvenir apparel.
