Default Band t-shirts - UK reccommended sellers wanted

I have several band t-shirts that are getting old and a bit threadbare now...ok for milling around the house in on a Sunday afternoon, but, not much else.

Replacing them, or indeed buying new ones, is proving an utter nightmare.

For the original t-shirts, on the rare occasions they actually come up on Ebay or Etsy, they go for ***silly*** money.

I am happy to buy bootlegs/reproductions, but, eithor the designs aren't right or they are of a low quality that doesn't survive more than 2 or 3 times in the wash.

So, I'm after reccommendations...

The key points for me....

* Must be in the UK - I've seen some US sellers with stuff I'd buy, but, the postage is utterly horrendous these days (Trump can be blamed, at least in part for that).

* The t-shirts must be of a decent thickness/quality.

* I'm fine with bootlegs as long as the designs are correct, or at least close.

* T-shirts I'm after would be described as indiepop c86 / shoegaze etc.

I'm also interested in any company that is willing to print a t-shirt from an existing t-shirt.

I've tried pretty much everyone locally but, nobody will touch them citing copyright. Does anyone know of a firm that will do this and not care about copyright issues?

-

T-shirts I'd love to replace (I'd buy others of bands I like even if I didn't already have) include / my top 3 would be...

Slowdive - Just For A Day - Long sleeve black t-shirt with design print on front, back & arm.

Sarah Records - white "cherry red cherries" t-shirt with thick, red, lower case font.

Allo Darlin' - Navy t-shirt with yellow "telephone" print design.

What about choosing a cool print and creating T-shirts for your band yourself? Being a person who has a Cricut, I know that it is easy to do. And you will get a really unique design. For me, the best place to buy SVG files for cricut is Art4youSpace because they can create any design you want, the prices are low and I'm always pleased with the results.
