Vintage Grateful Dead 1975 Garris "Fiddler" T-Shirt

Vintage 1975 Grateful Dead "Fiddler" t-shirt by Philip Garris

A holy grail of psychedelic memorabilia, the 1975 light blue "Fiddler" promo represents the serene, cosmic zenith of Grateful Dead visual history. Abandoning the high-contrast grit of standard black tees, this rare robin’s-egg blue variant provides a soft, atmospheric backdrop for Philip Garris’s award-winning "Fiddler" masterpiece. Framed within an intricate gold mandala that shimmers against the pale fabric, the design captures the exact moment the Dead returned from hiatus to deliver the middle-eastern-inflected mysticism of Blues for Allah. A true artifact of 1975 American craftsmanship, this single-stitch relic is more than just a concert shirt—it’s a wearable piece of gallery art that perfectly mirrors the celestial, desert-sky vibrations of the band's most experimental era.

Vintage t-shirt in light/sky blue from circa 1975 with "GDP TM" and "(c) 1975 GARRIS" below the "Fiddler" graphic.  The shirt is in good condition with two minor small holes (less than 1 cm -- see pictures) in the left armpit and left back shoulder next to the arm seam.  There are a couple light stains - the most visible one is in the front below the graphic (see pictures) but there is also some light staining around the right front shoulder and neckline and in the armpits.  The seams are generally in very good condition except the aforementioned tiny holes and a bit of loose thread on the back of the neckline; again, see pictures.  

The shirt appears to be an adult medium or large (tag is missing) based on measurements (noting that a 1970s large is smaller than a modern day large).  Crew neck.  The shirt measures 23 inches (59 cm) long from neck to bottom, sleeve is 7 inches (18 cm) from seam to end or 12 inches (30.5 cm) from neck to end, neck hole is ~7.5 inches (20 cm) across, and chest is 19 inches (48 cm) from armpit-to-armpit and ~16.5 inches (43 cm) from shoulder seam-to-shoulder seam.
