This piece represents the height of 1990s Grateful Dead parking lot culture, sold by independent vendors on Shakedown Street during tour stops. Because Calvin and Hobbes creator Bill Watterson famously never licensed commercial merchandise, all vintage apparel featuring the comic duo consists of unauthorized prints. This graphic cleverly fuses the beloved comic characters with classic Dead iconography, quoting Buddy Holly's 'Not Fade Away' which was a staple anthem at Grateful Dead shows.
Printed on a classic Made in U.S.A. Fruit of the Loom cotton blank, the garment teatures a vibrant custom spiral cloud tie-dye pattern. Surviving vintage lot tees in clean condition and desirable larger sizes remain enduring collector favorites among Deadheads and vintage pop culture enthusiasts.
One small pinhole, other than that it’s PERFECT! Great graphic and dye on this one. Measures 24x29!
