NOTE: This more of a museum or gallery piece than it is a fashion accessory. For the same reason it
(as with a few of the other collectibles I have listed) is
not actually priced to sell.
However, please feel encouraged to enjoy it in conjunction
with the history documented below.
JEM
Y
ou Will Find this Piece No Place Else. Won it Back in the Mid-90's for Being the First Correct Caller to Rochester's WHAM 1180 Radio Station "Sunday Morning Trivia Program" Featuring Talk Show Host David McKinley (currently a Reporter for WGRZ-TV in Buffalo, NY).
Size Specifics:
It's 25.125 inches from under-arm to under arm; 27.5 inches from front collar to hem-base; and 30.5 inches from rear collar to hem-base.
NOTE: I should probably mention, this piece has a bright future. Unless someone NOT from the original cast were to actually put it on; in which case the value would plunge.
I mean, if you just want something cool to wear to Comic Con, you can find these out there without the FOX logo at an affordable price. Typically, something like this is more of a gallery piece.
THIS SHIRT WAS NOT MADE COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE;
IT WAS A PROMOTIONAL PIECE,
STRAIGHT
OUT OF FOX STUDIO,
AND PROTOTYPE UPON
WHICH
THE ICONIC
T-SHIRT,
ALSO RELEASED IN 1993,
WAS BASED.
DIFFERENCE IS,
NONE OF THOSE BORE THE
OFFICIAL
STUDIO LOGO
(ILLUSTRATED
IN PICTURE 2)
ON THE SLEEVE.
THE COMMERCIAL VESION,
CAN STILL BE FOUND OUT THERE,
BUT NEVER
WITH THE "FOX" STUDIO LOGO.
OURS IS THE EARLIEST PROMOTIONAL X-FILES
PIECE
IN EXISTENCE & ICONIC BEST.
IT IS ALSO THE ONLY ONE...
Featuring THE Elemental Design, it Bears Only THE Paradigmatic Essentials:
1)
THE ALL-IMPORTANT,
OFFICIAL "FOX" IN A BOX LOGO ON THE SLEEVE (Pic 2);
2) THE "TM & Co 1993 20th Century FOX Film Corp" TRADEMARK AND MANUFACTURE DATE (Pic 3) &;
3)
"THE X-FILES" Logo on Back (Pic 4);

5) The Sewn-in Tag Illustrating Maker, Size, Composition, Registered Number, & Domestic Pedigree as "TENNESSEE RIVER GOLD XL 75% COTTON 25% POLYESTER [...sell illustration # 6] RN 68376 MADE IN USA";
6) MADE OF
MATERIAL AS DENSE AND STURDY AS CANVAS.
It's a Beautifully-Crafted, Cultural Icon
with Impeccable Provenance,
in
Mint
Condition.
As Such, it will Only Continue to Appreciate in Value.

COMPLIMENTS OF WIKIPEDIA ONLINE, SPECIFICALLY "THE X-FILES"
Initially considered a cult show,
The X-Files
turned into a
pop culture
touchstone that tapped into public mistrust of governments and large institutions and embraced
conspiracy theories
and
spirituality
. Both the show itself and lead actors Duchovny and Anderson received multiple
awards and nominations
, and by the end it was the longest-running science fiction series in U.S. television history.
The series also spawned a
franchise
which includes
The Lone Gunmen
spin-off, two theatrical films and accompanying
merchandise
. After the final theatrical film in 2008, fans continued to push for a third movie to conclude the series' plot lines. In March 2015, it was announced the series would return as a miniseries, with Chris Carter as executive producer and writer, and David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Annabeth Gish and Mitch Pileggi all reprising their roles.
