The Manufacturer

Hanes is an American clothing brand with a long history dating back to 1901. Originally founded as the Hanes Hosiery Company, it evolved into a leading manufacturer of apparel, including t-shirts, underwear, and activewear. Known for its focus on comfort and durability, Hanes became a staple in American homes, especially for its high-quality, affordable basics like the Beefy-T, introduced in 1975.

The Piece

The Van Morrison Blues and Soul Revue 1993 Tour Tee is a vintage tour t-shirt commemorating Van Morrison's tour during that year. Produced by Hanes as part of their Beefy-T line, this shirt reflects the typical style and quality of 1990s concert merchandise. The "Made in USA" label signifies its American production, aligning with Hanes' tradition of domestic manufacturing during that period.

The Style

Tour t-shirts like this one became highly popular in the 1980s and 1990s as a way for fans to commemorate concerts and show support for their favorite artists. These tees often featured bold graphics and were made from high-quality materials, making them a popular collectible item. The specific style of this tee, including its colorway and single-stitch construction, reflects the vintage aesthetic of the early 90s, characterized by its straightforward design and robust build.

The Features

• Material: 100% cotton, providing comfort and durability.
• Design: Features a graphic commemorating the 1993 Van Morrison tour with a white, blue, and gray colorway.
• Construction: Single-stitched, indicative of its vintage manufacturing style.
• Origin: Made in the USA, emphasizing its domestic production and authenticity.

What Makes it Vintage?

• Single-stitched

The “single-stitch” is a quick way to scan an item to see if it’s vintage or not. Almost all T-shirts began to be double-stitched after 1994. If a shirt is single stitched all over (on the cuffs, shoulders, collars, hems) then it’s probably from the 70’s or 80’s. If a shirt is single-stitched on just the cuffs, then it is probably from the 80s and 90s.

• Dated

If you’re lucky like with this piece, there is a copyright year telling you exactly when the item was manufactured or the item is merchandise for a dated event!

• Made in USA

Policy and trade shifts in the 80s and 90s led to the US manufacturing in developing countries, making US-made clothes almost nonexistent afterwards. American-made clothes are more durable and comfortable as they are made with higher-quality materials and craftsmanship, not to mention that their style is timeless!
