Vintage Eric Clapton 1988 T-Shirt

This original 1988 Eric Clapton tee captures a great moment in his late-’80s era, when the sound was shifting toward smoother blues-rock while still carrying the edge of his earlier work. The front features a large, soft-fade portrait printed in muted tones, set against a cloudy background that gives the graphic a moody, atmospheric feel — very much in line with late-’80s concert merch design. It’s simple, bold, and instantly recognisable.

The shirt is printed on a TopTee poly-cotton blend, which gives it that lightweight, soft-drape fit that older tees are loved for. The single-stitch construction confirms true 1980s vintage, and decades of wear have softened the black fabric into that easy, relaxed texture collectors look for.
