How many Stones shirts do you have?

200+

Maybe a dozen. One from each of the last 9 US tours and a few more.

Here's my latest:

Quite a few...

Including two from the 1973 European Tour (real, not repro). Anyone got any older ones?

Thinking of getting this one too:

How many are actually real and not bootlegs and knock offs

Lot's probably 250+, and mabe 30 jackets including 15 leather tour jackets, most recently the Schott one with the hand painted tongue on the back which is pretty nice.

My wife says I'm a t-shirt junkie, and Stones t-shirts definitely have their place in my collection.

I have at least least one from each tour I've attended since 1981 when I bought my first - the dragon shirt which I still have as a momento (it fit at the time, but had shrunken so much it's now probably a size small).
And while I do have a general Desert Trip shirt w/all bands listed, I did not buy a Stones Desert Trip shirt or a *Vegas '16 shirt. I also have several non-tour shirts (including a couple versions of Keith for President) as well as a buttoned Beggars Banquet shirt bought on official site (during Licks?) when they had a clearance sale. Also several from individual shows (and/or cities and countries) I attended during the Licks tour - Stockholm, London, Glasgow, and the Netherlands. Favorite of all?

I don't have too many Stones t-shirts, but this is my favorite:

Ooh, pics nice shirts, stellar.

Personally, when I swore off live concerts, I also owned ZERO apparel for ever
Did I want to get asked about RS shows? Noooo/ gutted.
Until (drum roll please)
2015.
Zippy day 1 forward I have been online or in person (! FINALLY)
and I have lots of stuff now, lol. I wear RS shirts a LOT. But only from 2015 forward.
I must say, I am grateful I got the Blue period-
Blue tounge / Blue & Lonesome
(love blue)

And Hairball the Desert Trip RS 2016
is killer! California sunset etched in orange-y pink sky
and the ladies shirt is light green-
I was hanging on by a periscope blissed out thread
you bet I was ‘there’

Alright I am going to compliment the shirt makers some more:

I have a RS CUBA 2016 shirt. It’s a royal blue with the island of CUBA on the back- right remember that, the only rock n roll band to get in to the country, and
it’s free for the whole island,
had to get a pass from the Pope no less
nobody’s been there since!
Cool shirt, electric show, CUBA 2016
I have a yellow South America 2016 OLE OLE OLE shirt, I will never forget hearing Argentina OLE OLE OLE RICHARDS RICHARDS
an elegant architecture tounge type shirt (Buenos Aires 2016) etc etc

Own a couple dozen+ Stones shirts oldest only going back to '81.
(speaking of which, the dragon design on that tour was originally from a Cardiff gig that never happened, I believe??)

Used to be real finicky.. only official merch, only from concerts I attended... Now some of the knock-offs and the odd Keith Mountie shirt fit right in. Used to love the show specific shirts you could only get at the concert. Now that you can get any shirt online,its taken some of the fun/challenge out of it.

Hoping for some cool designs for the shows coming up, but also excited to check out the misc. knock-offs.

Yes I'm familiar with it (though I don't recall a ladies light green), and there were a couple of other Stones designs as well Desert Trip.
But the fact is I have enough Stones tongue t-shirts already (!), so opted for the Desert Trip t-shirt w/all bands which has the same imagery you mention:



*Also bought a high quality limited/hand numbered Roger Waters Desert Trip litho online after the fact which was on sale 50% from the Desert Trip price.

PS - The last Stones shirt I bought was at the San Diego Zip Code opening show '15 - another top favorite:



Also bought two lithos - one the day before the show at a merch stand outside stadium, and another a couple of weeks later online.

I haven't counted, but I'd guess about 150. They get folded away as part of the collection when I stop wearing them (and have been washed!).

I would have around 20.

the iorr.org shirt is the only one worth having...

Maybe 15 or something. A few got lost and a few got just worn out.

Use them as my sleeping gear

Must have like a dozen.

My favorite is the Dressmann one that says:


FUNKY BUTT OHIO

Never counted but I'm guessing around 100. Plus 7 jackets. Last year was the first time I didn't buy a shirt. Now I'm into the posters more.

Still have my 1982 European tour t-shirt which I got at Wembley and about 20 others I've collected since then.

Rough estimate: 50-60.
EDIT: I finally got round counting 'em. Out of curiosity; and because of this thread. To whom it may concern: It's 64...

About 2/3's (3/4's?) tour and/or gig related.
Most of 'em "official"; some of 'em 'bootleg'...
And some of 'em I designed (well, 'created' is a better word for it) myself.

I have many incl. some special ones. Who remembers this one?

Silver Dagger nice of you to post that picture.I have a similar shirt from the Roundhay gig,which has three quarter length sleeves.In fact it still fits!Also got a bLACK tongue T shirt and scarf from that period.

Speaking of self-designed t-shirts, here's one I collaborated on with someone from shidoobee back in '03.
I came up with the simple concept of a giant spliff with the tongue and the 'Stoned in Holland', while my collaborator rendered the design itself.
(It was originally supposed to be 'Stoned in The Netherlands" but due to space limitations....)
I had a small batch of apprx. 20 made up after we pitched the idea on shidoobee, and sold them to those interested at cost which was cheap!


(I see someone is currently trying to sell one on ebay for $120......do not buy it!!)

Another favorite of mine is an Amsterdam '03 shirt designed by Fred Hardin who occasionally posts here - can't find the design online but it's a winner!
He's designed several other great ones over the years also- the Mick Taylor 50 and Counting t-shirt is great!

I also have a sweatshirt and mousepad I bought from the old Cafe Black and White, Leidseplein who used the Stones tongue as their logo.


Sadly, it's now closed and a trendier/fancier bar took it's place.

Another favorite is the IORR t-shirt from '06/'07...hats off to whoever designed it and thanks to bv for making it happen!

I got round 25 to 30 a few bootleg others official. For good designs I really liked 94 Voodoo Lounge tour & Steel wheels ,,89 tour.Also got a few from stores.

I tried to search a thread not too far back that had RS shirts,
there was a year of Ronnie Wood sketches of the band,
a rare individual had all 4.

I could talk shirts all day and view your pics.
My first RS shirt purchase in my life
was at my 1st concert 2015 SD
I was so blissed out standing in the sunshine line to blasting Stones music
including ‘Time Waits For No-One’
I panicked at the register and bought a huge baseball Jersey that looks hideous on me.

Black tounge- wow, and lativianinexhile I can’t see your pics/ Argentina football?

None.

Had to search for this. Very cool.
Tough to near impossible find now I'm sure, but what a great find if possible!
