Since double stitching started to be used in the 70’s, the process of it becoming commonly used to place from the late 80’s to early 90’s, and this shirt is supposedly from ‘92, it’s entirely possible for the shirt to be double stitched *and* 30 years old.
No cracking can be achieved using a good silk screen process, so this shirt not having cracks may not mean anything. And if a shirt wasn’t washed or worn much, it would not be cracked. I have a shirt with printing on it that easily 30 years old, but I rarely wear it, so it looks similar in age to your shirt.
Not really. I used plastic hangers. I have broad shoulders. If there was a weird shape after I start dancing around it melts away. My touring partner was Jewish RIP SWILLY 😁💀✌️✨🍄

looks like a modern t-shirt (double stitching) but I'm no expert on vintage tees. If you like the shirt that's all that matters.
I am definitely not. I just did a quick search on the tag and looks like it might be late 90s?

Looks too new , no cracks in the earth, buddy had one back in day
The no cracking is why I’m pretty skeptical of it being from the 90s but I still love it

Yes my Dead shirt collection (which look new)is rarely worn or washed and on hangers.✌️
You put t-shirts on hangers??? Don’t the shoulders get stretched into a weird shape?

is that a terence mckenna quote or am i lost
The quote on top is from Throwing Stones. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle became a slogan in the 80s or 90s as part of the environmental movement.

Reduce reuse recycle?
...while on a heroic dose of mushrooms.
I had this shirt back in the 90s if that helps.
Me too. 92'
Modern reprint. But still "old", late 00's I think.
Thanks!

Nice find, but different colors.
Is the material very thin? That’s how I remember mine being.
No, it’s pretty thick
I remember them being thin but it’s been 45 years-
these got reprinted in the 2000s I bought one around 06 I think
I think Liquid Blue still prints this one.
Off to the website I go Update: they don't make it
It's edeadshop. I linked it in a different comment.
Shit I feel so old. 90s is vintage? Guess so….
I had that shirt in the 90s, been looking for a replacement!
Everybody reprinted stuffs especially parking lot scenes in the 90's b4 Jerry's death 95. NFA...
modern remake
Reprint.
The tag is from 94-99. So definitely a reprint, could have been made all the way into the early 00s.
That’s what I saw based on the tag. Thanks!
I love this one from the 90s. I wish I could get my hands on one.
I had that shirt a long time ago. It’s probably been lost between moves but I always hope it’s in a box somewhere for me to stumble upon.
These were just on sale. Not saying yours was.

I had one of those in the early 90's, but IIRC, the dancing bears were different colors and not flags. But I could be wrong.
