Formed in Tokyo in 1991, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant were a Japanese garage rock powerhouse that sounded like The Stooges, MC5, and The Sonics had gotten together for a booze-fueled bender in some sweaty underground Tokyo nightclub. Fronted by the gravel-voiced Yusuke Chiba, with Futoshi Abe on guitar, Koji Ueno on bass, and Kazuyuki Kuhara on drums, the band delivered a blistering cocktail of garage punk, blues, and vintage rock ’n’ roll with enough raw energy to blow the doors off just about any venue. By late 1998, they were riding high on the release of their fourth album, Gear Blues, and kicked off their appropriately named World Psycho Blues Tour – All Standing! Maximum!! in December. Running into January 1999, the tour packed massive Japanese arenas with thousands of fans, including a legendary all-standing show at Yokohama Arena that drew approximately 15,000 people. Loud, fast, filthy, and dripping with attitude, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant proved that rock ’n’ roll didn't need to be reinvented to kick some serious ass.
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch, making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you’re on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
