I've never really had climbing tee shirts, but have recently acquired a few.
During a lull in my climbing career, I did triathlons, and so have a bunch of triathlon tee shirts from the 1980s. My Ironman shirts still fit - depending on how you define fit.

probably from the '80s
I thought I had the GPIW tee with ice tools in ice, but I can't seem to find it anymore...
...my tees have a habit of disolving, especially the favorites....

The Kinnaloa "Wienie Roast" was my favorite, wore that until it was tissue paper. Same with FISH "This Hell Called Life".
My oldest is a Boreal Sole Survivor from early 80's.

Bob,
I had forgotten about that one with Mike on it. Pretty funny.
Padres? Aren't they still 3 games back? Don't know if they will make it to post season this year.

GPIW t-shirt from '83 or so. Cut the neck out of it (too tight). Still sorta wearable.
Have a Scarpa "free climbing team" t-shirt from the snowbird comp back in '88. Proabably a comp t-shirt from back then somewhere too.
Think I have a Wild Things blue shirt with some purple-ish lettering, very sports climbing late 80's look.
J Tree shirt, black with red? Must be late 80's.
Have an old Patagonia Hawaiian shirt with figure eights on it. Light green color, pretty cool.
Have an original Chouinard rugby shirt (yellow) that's still in great shape, as, it was always a tad too small for me and I didn't wear it much. Burly tough shirt. Long sleeves.
A friend has the old "ratagonia" shirt from Jrat. She gets comments on it every time she wears it. Couple years ago, someone offered her a 100 bucks for it on the trail in Garnet Canyon in the Tetons. Too funny. Grant in Tuolumne gear store commented on it a couple weeks ago.
Mostly wore punk rock type t-shirts back then for some reason...DK, Black Flag...

Hmm - got into climbing in the late 80s, during the Sheffield gritstone revivial. The Dave Lee Roth lycra scene was in decline, and Johnny Dawes had just made the surreal climbing documentary Stone Monkey.
Then came the Stone Monkey line of clothing. I think it was made by DMM. I still have some t-shirts, and several pairs of black leggings (not likely to wear them anytime soon on a Sierra slab in 80 degree sunshine).
Bout the same time, some rival outfit came out with Stone Donkey clothing line. If I remeber correctly, their motto was "climb like a mule".
Gonna start a thread on climbing documentaries,,,

If you ever see me wearing a 'Go climb a rock' t-shirt, shoot me please. Only tourons wear them. All my t-shirts are from faux-surfing clothing companies now days. I don't have any shirts older than about 5 years, they wear out and get thrown out long before they become collectors items.

Need to see what has survived. My favorite was the diamond C that Ed posted. There was a guy that made up a t-shirt that had the Castle Rocks topo silkscreened on it that I think I still have but haven't seen in years. I think my go climb a rock shirt died many moons ago. I have a planite granite shirt from when they opened in SC in the early 90's.

There was an IME (east coast) T that said "Climbing may be hard but it's easier than growing up". Like others here it has disintegrated over time. Weinie Roast is still my favorite...

Does anyone out there still have an "I Climbed Slant Rock" t-shirt from Stoney Point?
I did that one in 1985.
Along with my famous: "I [heart] exposure" t-shirt. Sold 4 of them!

Hmm. How about doing a reprint of the Lodestar shirt with the added motto "Supertopo - bringing history back, one post at a time?"
Seriously though, I'd love to see one.
I don't have a shirt that old, but my most treasured one is the Acopa company shirt that I got for helping out at a fundraiser for Tyrus.

I've got a black Chouniard Equipment tank top with the diamond C logo, and an old Gramicci t-shirt with a pic of Fred Beckey and assorted others that says "Cashmere Crags". Both still fit, but neither gets worn anymore.
