This cool t-shirt is for the Glasgow-based band Belle and Sebastian, who were first formed in 1996. This shirt features a minimalist illustration of a bus or van and the year 1997 on it, suggesting that it was made for a 1997 tour. However, there's only evidence of the group playing a handful of sporadic shows throughout that year. The majority of these were performed in their home country of the United Kingdom, with a few shows in New York as well.

The band actually kept a low profile for much of their early career. This was primarily at the insistence of the group's lead vocalist Stuart Murdoch, who suffered from chronic fatigue syndrome. The groups' sporadic gigs and distinct lack of interviews and publicity photographs created an aura of mystery surrounding them. This likely worked in their favor, as they were eventually named Best Newcomer at the 1999 BRIT Awards, after releasing their third studio album. They even managed to beat out much more well-known acts like Steps and 5ive.

Fits like a modern unisex adult large. Slight discoloration under the arms, see pics.
