A rare original from David Bowie’s most confrontational era.

Description

This vintage 1991 Tin Machine tour tee features the full band—David Bowie, Reeves Gabrels, Hunt Sales, and Tony Sales—on the front, with the striking “Soul of the New Machine” tour graphic in electric blue. The back hits hard with a surreal lineup of nude figures beneath the “Tour ’91” stamp. Printed in the USA, worn in all the right ways, and steeped in Bowie’s anti-celebrity edge. For fans who know this wasn’t just a tour—it was a statement.
Additional Information

Tin Machine marked a bold departure for Bowie—an intentional break from stardom and spectacle. The band’s gritty aesthetic, confrontational sound, and rejection of commercial polish made their tour tees cult items among true fans. This one, with its artful tension between minimalism and provocation, channels the exact spirit that made Tin Machine a cult chapter in Bowie’s career. The surreal back print adds to its collectible status, as does the fact that original USA-printed Tin Machine tees are incredibly hard to come by today—especially in this wearable condition.

Tour tees this rare don’t stick around. Grab this original piece of early ’90s Bowie history before it disappears into another collector’s archive.
