From its inception as a brilliant marketing ploy by Elvis' promoters in 1956 to its reincarnation as a current subversive fashion trend, the band T-shirt continues to connect music and style. This small, colourful coffee table book traces the evolution of the staple concert souvenir, from the classically ubiquitous Ramones Tee to the rare hand-printed White Stripes baseball jersey. This is a handy encyclopedia for hipsters on the hunt for the latest vintage store find.
