I picked up a Stones "European Tour 1973" jumper/sweater at a charity shop for €1 a few days ago. Red-ish jumper with a big tongue on it. Lovely.
Whats the label on this jumper? Amplified Clothing were making Jumpers with a large tongue logo and "European Tour 1973" written on the front a few years ago. You can pick them up in TK Maxx still.
I have 2 original sleeveless t-shirts from Earls Court 76 with faux suede tongue logos and concert dates on the front.

When the Scandinavian clothing company Dressmann made its deal last year with the Stones, they released, among other stuff, a series of replicas of old tour t-shirts. I think the following is the oldest one, referring to 1969 American tour. Anyway, I had one...

I still have the shirts I bought in 1975 and 1978. They are size M for medium but it should be M for miniscule.

This book is possibly the best I've seen for t-shirts .. [www.amazon.com]
Well worth picking up.
R, I also have a miniscule 78 tour shirt, but it's a period bootleg and a killer!
The second smallest I have is the 81 tour, with Prince at the bottom of the bill.

This one is earlier than that, but it's not official, it's homemade and given to Mick by a fan before finding its way onto the Sgt Pepper cover.

Yes it says "Amplified" on the back. Anyway I didn't really think the jumper actually was made in 1973 since it's in good condition

Wow! Thanks for sharing the pictures. I appears these all look homemade and have a nice folk art quality to them. I'm mainly interested in the first Stones' issued shirts, either at concerts or through fan clubs.
I have to believe that the band issued something in the 60s, especially during the 1969 tour.
In any event, here's a few pictures of my 2 earliest Stones' shirts, both from '72.

In 1964 in Los Angeles I saw 2-3 different teenage girls wearing pullover sweaters that said "I Like The Rolling Stones." These featured a not-particularly-high quality picture of the Stones' five hairy, messy heads under that message.
Wish I'd bought one and kept it!

The Stones are the only band I've ever seen that wore their own gear. But that was in the early days, and band shirts were apparently somewhat new, so I don't think it was probably considered lame back then like it would be now.
This one always cracks me up. Not because Taylor is wearing a Stones shirt, but because the tank top and eyeliner don't particularly suit him.
Plant wore a lot of Zeppelin t-shirts at shows in the 70s....

Man, I have a '75 with the eagle/plane and a really rare, cream colored one with just The Rolling Stones in script and the the tongue from '78. I bought them both on the respective tours. It's unreal how much they have shrunk.
I'll try but I've never been able to post pictures here.

For several tours, they have had their shirts printed at a place called New Buffalo Shirt Factory. Supposedly New Buffalo was the first company to perfect the black concert T, but printing white ink on the T, then putting multiple colors over the top, sometime in the early 70s, I believe.
They were generous enough to donate about 1000 prototype items they made for bands over the years to a benefit here a few months ago. All sorts of one-of-a-kind items that never made it to mass production, including hundreds of Stones shirt, hats, jackets, etc. I picked up a few hats. Shirts were another story as few of the prototypes were my size...they must have shrink while in storage. Everything was about $5, and all proceeds went to the local food bank.

Oh my Meridith. Your shirts are the most amazing thing I've ever seen! If you have any interest in parting with any of them, let me know.
Were you on the tours as a crew member?
@buffalo Do you have any pictures?

That's the best one right there. I think I saw that in...Roy Carr's book maybe?
My wife got me one a few years ago that's very similar.
They should bring that back 'cause it'll never go out of style.
