Loose Nut

By jbil | Published 09/29/2011

This is one of my favorite shirts of all time. I love posting this shirt mostly because I already have one and dont have to worry about finding one. As a bonus my shirt fits perfect on me as well. Something about this shirt is just so perfect to me. I dont know if its the fact that its printed in the same color scheme to match the record. Maybe its just the simplicty of the tour print on the back. All I know is when you see this shirt you notice. Its hard not to notice such perfection. This shirt even gets a pass on having the bottom cut If you dont have one yet maybe you can try scooping this one up from moloko-plus

DK tour

By jbil | Published 08/03/2011

Wow. There isnt too many shirts that get me super excited anymore. This is def one of them. I really want this bad. I am cursing myself for having no paypal funds at the moment. This thing is a bit of a torn up mess but i bet its gonna fetch big bucks. Non mass produced DK shirts are getting harder and harder to find. I have a couple of old DK shirts from the 80s but you can never really have enough.

DRI

By jbil | Published 06/25/2011

This shirt looks like the brother of the SOD shirt I posted recently. Different war perhaps. I have a feeling the price on this one is gonna end up going bananas so Im not even going to pretend that I have a chance on winning this. ALthough I am gonna try. Mr.lasthouseontheright seemed to have a hell of a good show going career. What a gig this must have been. Slayer and DRI in the mid 80s at L`Amours!?! Hard as nails.

Schism tour

By jbil | Published 06/25/2011

I dont think ive ever seen this SOD design printed on a white shirt before. I think I remember seeing it on an olive shirt or as a full color design on a black shirt(probably the most common one you see). On just a white shirt it looks a little chinsy to me. Still fucking dope though. I expect that lasthouseontheright will get a nice price for it as with this type of cross over band you have to deal with the HC scene and the metal heads going after it

Loose Nut tour shirt

By jbil | Published 05/09/2011

One of my all time favorite shirts! Obv its Black Flag and on top of it its a Black Flag tour shirt which in itself is pretty fucking cool. What I really love is that its on an orange shirt and that it matches the record. Such a good look. I picked up mine a couple of years ago and I couldnt be more stoked. It fits so perfect as well, which as you know is a crap shoot with old shirts. This is one of those shirts that always commands a high price and rightfully so. They arnt getting any easier to come by. Can you believe this shirt is 26 years old? Most people dont give up theirs unless they have to. Get yours from smcgill333.

Slatanic Wehrmacht

By b. murphy | Published 03/04/2011

Oddly, one of the biggest hits on TTD is the Slayer Slatanic Wehrmacht tshirt. We get serious hits for those searches. And I can understand why. This tour shirt form 1985 is pretty fucking metal. That skull is fearsome, the helmet and upside down cross add sketchiness .. What more could you ask for?

How about a better BIN price? vintagepimps have this shirt up right now. And at a close distance, you might jump on that BIN.

And then you step back and wham. It’s like a practical joke.

That just hurts my eyes. That’s some extreme metal cut up. Yikes.

Thanks for the tip, Driggs.

Speak English Or Die, 1985 To 1997

By b. murphy | Published 10/28/2010

How did Morgado not post this tshirt already? He’s the king of a) sleeveless tees and b) not speaking English. If you didn’t know, English is not is native language. True story. I’ll leave it up to you, our astute readers, to guess his native tongue. As for the tshirt, does anyone find it ironic that the seller lives in Deutschland? The lack of tag also bums me out some. Verifying authenticity is much harder without tag. But Schism Tour 1985? You’re moshing.

The sellers other auctions lend some credence to the 85 tour tee. Check this old ass tee.

And for the hell of it, peep the tour 97 tee.

Loose Nut > Gaga

By b. murphy | Published 10/08/2010

The other day, I posted a Lady Gaga x Black Flag tee. It was even more heinous than the Tegan & Sara X Black Flag tee. But some of the people I consider a friend spoke up in defense of the Gaga tee. I’m reconsidering those friendships, fear not. Lady Gaga is vapid pop music. I can stand behind her stance on the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” issue, but what else is she offering? Black Flag was groundbreaking and more than just Six Packs. Punks with attitude. In that regards, it’s only appropriate that I post up a few pallet cleaning Loose Nut tees. Enjoy.

Interestingly, bukk1972ake has the same loose nut shirt up twice. One here as an auction and one here as a BIN. Same shirt, different auctions. Very odd.

blackrebelvintage likes to dream large. Especially for a tshirt WITHOUT tags …

I see the seller above the shirt still has the red Loose Nut tee available. Pretty sure it’s still a bootleg … Pretty sure the one is too … Weak.

Loose Nut

By b. murphy | Published 07/19/2010

One of my favorite things about shirts are the memories attached to the shirt. From the show it was purchased at, to memorable occasions wearing it, to random spottings and shout outs while in it. The whole package clinches it for me. Granted, excellent graphics and fonts are key, but at times, they are of lesser importance. I get the feeling metalgstl feels the same way. See what he has to say about this Black Flag Loose Nut Tour 85 tee.

I obtained this shirt in 1992 and have had it ever since. Since then, my son wore this one time when we met Henry Rollins.

The shirt was bought in St. Louis in 1985 by a friend and I have a photo of Henry from that exact show. I will send that photo, if the winner wants it.

Now that’s just fucking cool. Don’t be scared by the opening bid, you might luck out and be the only one. Dumb if you don’t at least get a scan of the photo too.
