Title: What to do with my worn out Stones T-shirts...?
Post by Egon on Sep 17^th, 2012 at 9:44am

I got about 10 that i really can't wear anymore.
If they were ordinary shirts I would throw them away, but not these...
Question is, what to do with them?
I could frame them, though i don't have space for all..
Anyone got some other bright ideas..?

These should be treated with respect & dignity.
I suggest to stage an epic event, with a band, food, your best friends present.
Have a ceremony & bury them in a special place.
Have a marker created & placed on this site, which could be opened from time to time to add more.
Only a fitting ceremony for memorabilia from the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band.

There is a lady I know who turns old tshirts into a beautiful quilt. They are quite beautiful really. If you like it you can send her the shirts if you want her to do it for you. She's my friend and a very cool Stones fan as well.

Cut out the logos and save them in a scrap book.

The rest of the fabric, you can use as cleaning rags.

It could take a little bit of effort...but you could try to convince your local public library to allow you a temporary exhibit of RS stuff to
commemorate the 50th...you can display your t shirts...LPs...and any other RS paraphernalia you may have...guitar picks, drum stick ( like me!!) , posters, programs, etc...
The library could even display books they may have on the tones, bios, or RnR related books, etc

I once did this for my comicbook collection...my old PL let me display about 20 books in a display case and helped me do a nice write up about them

I can NOT burn anything Stoens related.. (apart from maybe the St Pat's t-shirt, rarities & Grrrr)
nor do i want to cut them up.

I like the quilt idea, but my tees are so worn out, that the result will be a quilt "homeless style"...

Selling them? I checked Ebay... the sale will not even buy me a beer at the O2 in november...

So i'll probably just leave them in the closet, and have a look at them the day i retire & have too much time on my hands...

cheers
