1970s | Unknown | Paper-Thin Novelty T-Shirt – Annual Fagan Festival - S

Description:

Item: Ultra-thin single-jersey cotton T-shirt with “Annual Fagan Festival” chest print and hand-drawn portrait graphic. Exceptionally soft, lightweight handle with that true 1970s paper-thin feel, likely originally sold as an event or counterculture novelty tee. Classic short sleeve, crew neck cut.

Era: 1970s

Brand: Unbranded / event-issued

Condition: Very good vintage condition with heavy natural fade and fabric translucency consistent with age and wear. The thinning is a feature, not a flaw, and exactly what collectors look for in shirts of this era.

Provenance Note: Ephemeral event T-shirts like this were never made to last, which is precisely why survivors are scarce. The graphic style, fabric weight, and overall hand feel firmly place this in the 1970s underground festival and counterculture space. Pieces like this rarely surface intact and are prized for their honesty, fragility, and cultural snapshot quality.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a story, and we cannot guarantee any item will be totally free of marks / damage but anything we think of note will be mentioned. Furthermore, a lot of vintage items gain character because of wear and tear. Buying a true vintage item is not the same as buying new and is not to be confused with second-hand clothing.

We have also tried to accurately depict each garment using a photography setup with over 90% true to life accuracy. 

We do not take photos of inside the garment.
