Wanted: period-correct longsleeve to replace cuffs

Looking for an early 90s black longsleeve with normal length cuffs to replace the worn-out cuffs of one of my Napalm Death longsleeves.

Preferably a longsleeve with a good patina that is also CHEAP (and I mean really, really cheap, just need the cuffs).

Most importantly, the cuffs should of course not be worn-out.

If anyone can help me, thanks in advance!

NB. I have no experience with dry-rot stuff (no idea whether this also affects the cuffs), would the cuffs of a dry-rot longsleeve still be of any use for this purpose?

Post a picture of the long-sleeve cuffs in question? You might be able to find a blank Screen Stars or Gildan shirt from back in the day if you do a bit of digging.

That's actually not a bad idea. The cuffs are not super worn-out (I've had worse!), but I definitely prefer them more tight fitting around my wrists.

That tag looks pretty ragged... any idea what brand of shirt that is? I never noticed until you brought it up how different modern LS sleeves are.

No clue! Saw that some of these have a Murina tag, but I got this from the first owner, and you don’t really see that brand in Europe. It’s totally unreadable.

Also checked eBay and you’re right, there are plenty of affordable longsleeves for sale there which also turn out to be period-correct. I guess I’ll have one or two shipped to an AirBnB when I travel to the US again….

be sure to use the right kind of thread too, was it cotton back then?

yay, great to see a thread about cuffs, the most important part of LS imo. early 90s was the best time for them
