The Nirvana smiley face is one of rock's most beautifully ambiguous icons, a lo-fi doodle that perfectly captured the band's sarcastic, anti-establishment soul. Legend has it Kurt sketched it himself, inspired by a marquee on a Seattle strip club, forever embedding it in the cultural lexicon. This modern iteration drenches the classic logo and Onyx-typeface wordmark in a psychedelic wash of neon color, giving the '90s grunge staple a vibrant, contemporary energy. Printed on an impossibly soft charcoal heather blank, this tee feels like a perfectly worn-in favorite from the very first wear, connecting the past and present of alternative rock.
The Faded Vibes Sizing Chart
Now that you have your measurements, here’s how we translate the pit-to-pit number into the modern sizes you see on our product pages.
Find Your Fit
Vintage sizing is all over the place. A "Large" from the 80s fits way different than one from today, and years of washing and wearing can change a shirt's shape. That's why we ignore the original tag and hand-measure every single shirt we sell.
Want to be sure? The best way is to compare our measurements to a favorite t-shirt you already own. Our Vintage T-Shirt Sizing Guide shows you exactly how.
