- What are the Dancing Bears?
- They are a line of cartoon bears drawn by artist Stanley Mouse for a Grateful Dead poster and later used on album art and merchandise. The marching bears became one of the band's best-known symbols.
- How does this shirt fit?
- It is a size medium, measured at 20 inches across the chest and 30 inches long. Compare those numbers with a shirt you already own, since older band tees often run boxy.
- Is this an official Grateful Dead shirt?
- That depends on the individual shirt. Official merchandise usually carries a band or label tag; older bootleg and tour shirts exist in large numbers and are collected too.
- How should I care for an older band tee?
- Wash cold and inside out, and skip the dryer to protect the print. Air drying slows cracking and fading on older graphics.
- Is it good for everyday wear?
- Yes, if the measurements suit you. It is a standard cotton crew-neck tee, so it works casually, though a collectible shirt may be better kept for occasional wear.
