SOME T-shirts grow beyond themselves because they were worn on special accessions or by special people. If you combine those to you get instant classics. Like the shirt with the collar of English banknotes worn by Ian Brown of The Stone Roses during the concert in Blackpool in 1989. (If you search the internet you will see that you can still order them today.)

If I can suggest a re-issue of a shirt I propose this sweater worn by young Simba Wachuka (Swahili for Young Lions) in the late sixties in Los Angeles. The Simba Wachuka was an army of skilfully trained men and boys. They were the cadre of black cultural nationalist organization Us and emerged after the 1965 Watts insurrection. The organization was highly disciplined with a strong commitment to the nationalist ideas of Maulana Karenga. They didn’t belong to the Black Panther Party. In fact, the two groups were rivals.
