Isac Walter has a massive collection of t-shirts, most of them music-related. He puts one on every day, takes a picture of his torso, and posts a story about the shirt on MinorThread.com. We're on day 143 right now and Isac doesn't seem to be running out of "material." He's looking for new ones, so your rock shirts could have a new home in Isac's closet...and possibly online.

    I ran out at 137, was doing one for every day I went to work - http://jonxmack.co.uk/tagged/alphabetical-merch

    Wow that dude paid $75 to see Morrissey live! (plus the t-shirt!)

    Zweezle Zappa was just on NPR the other day, saying that he used to play a game with his father of inventing words. For the kind of person who always wears band t-shirts, Frank Zappa suggested “Insignoramus”.

    Actually, he has a perfect torso for t-shirts, I’m jealous.

     so your rock shirts could have a new home in Isac’s closet…

    Cold, dead torso, man.  I still wear my Iron Maiden ones (Brave New World tour, venue-specific Irvine, CA 9/10/00 and a retro Aces High one from their Somewhere Back In Time Tour 2/19/08, and I don’t care that they’re not particularly old, they still fit dammit), and the Aerosmith and AC/DC ones from the 80s may not fit anymore but you still can’t have ‘em.  They’ll fit my kids in a decade or so.

    So happy to see fIREHOSE as the lead picture. I think the wife still has her side mousin tour shirt. All my favorite shirts were worn out or, more likely, grown out.

    Actually, my favorite rock tshirt of all time…REM fables of the reconstruction tour, long sleeve with the monkey and parrot riding a bike. I want that one again.

    OMFG Day 141 I have that same exact Jawbox shirt, and I only have about 4 band shirts in all because it’s not really my kind of thing.  But I had to make an exception for Jawbox and for that shirt. I only wear it a few times a year so it’s still going strong.
