Item is genuine vintage one of a kind


Vendor: East Coast Collab’s

Product Type: Vintage 1987 Guns N’ Roses “Was Here” Tour Tee – Authentic

Description:

An original piece from the explosive rise of Guns N’ Roses — this 1987 “Was Here” tour T-shirt is a true Appetite for Destruction era artifact.

Featuring the iconic skeletal front graphic layered with bold Guns N’ Roses typography and a raw, graffiti-style “Guns N’ Roses Was Here” back print with full tour cities, this tee captures the exact moment the band transitioned from underground chaos to global dominance.

Printed on a genuine vintage blank with single-stitch construction and an original worn-in tag, this is not a reissue — it is a surviving original from the first wave of GNR’s rise.

This is the kind of piece collectors chase — not just for the band, but for what it represents: danger, rebellion, and the last real era of rock excess before it became commercialised.

Key Features:

  • 1987-dated print (Appetite for Destruction era)
  • Original “Guns N’ Roses Was Here” back graphic with tour cities
  • Iconic skeleton / industrial front artwork
  • Vintage Stedman tag (Made in USA)
  • Single-stitch sleeves and hem (true 80s construction)
  • Soft, worn-in black cotton
  • Rare Size Large (42) with natural vintage drape


Male/Femal: Unisex
Fits like: Mens L. True to size

Measurements:

Length (High Shoulder Point) to hem – CM  

Width across bust (under arm to under arm) – CM


No obvious faults. 100% Cotton soft to touch. Super nice fade and print cracking. Excellent vintage condition — soft fade, no holes, intact single-stitch hems
Condition Rating: 5/5

Style Tip

Lean into the attitude — pair it with distressed denim, leather, or boots for a classic rock look, or contrast it with tailored pants and clean sneakers for a modern high-low fit. This tee works best when you let it bring the edge.

Authenticity

This T-shirt is an authentic vintage 1987 Guns N’ Roses piece, verified through its Stedman tag, single-stitch construction, period-correct print style, and copyright marking.

The graphics, fabric, and wear are fully consistent with original late-80s licensed band merchandise. This is not a reproduction, not a bootleg reprint, and not modern merch — it is a genuine artefact from the Appetite era.

Please note that these t shirts are genuine vintage, as such, they may have tiny holes or colour imperfections including fading. Please be aware when purchasing or email contact@eastcoastcollabs.com.au or IG DM us for specific info.

Like our name suggests, we are on the beautiful east coast of Australia. A fashion entrepreneur and keen music enthusiast, I succumbed to the allure of Byron Bay’s laidback lifestyle and relocated to this picturesque coastal region from Melbourne in 2014 for love. My other half, a surfer who has lived in the Rainbow Region since 1990 was an active part of the vibrant music scene for many years.
