Vintage 1982 Grateful Dead “Skeleton & Roses” Ringer T-Shirt – Large – Made in USA

Description

An original slice of rock history, this 1982 Grateful Dead ringer tee features the iconic “Skeleton & Roses” artwork by Kelley, officially licensed with the ©1982 Kelley / G.D.P. credit stamped below the image. Printed on a soft heathered white tee with olive green trim, this 50/50 cotton-poly blend is everything you want from early ’80s tour merch—lightweight, wearable, and full of soul.

Made in the USA on a Sportswear brand ringer, this one captures the spirit of the open road, good vibes, and the freedom-fueled legacy of the Dead’s touring years.

 A must-have for true Deadheads, vintage collectors, or anyone who knows the road goes on forever.
