I am honored to offer the original, authentic Sin City patches, designed and endorsed by the original Sin City Boys and trademarked Oct 14, 2014. Accept no substitute.
The patches have a fantastic legacy which started when Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman wrote the song "Sin City" together for The Gilded Palace of Sin album. It remains one of their finest songs. Larry Sepulvado, Clayton Gaskill, David Rodowick, Bob Webb and Nimrod Funk were the original Sin City Boys. They, along with as many as 20 other friends wearing Sin City jackets, attended all six Fallen Angels shows in Houston in February, 1973. They requested the song "Sin City" from the audience at each show. Gram, Emmylou and the band were very responsive to the Sin City battle call and performed the song on Saturday's early performance and on their final appearance on Sunday. Gram was given a patch on Thursday before his first performance. Emmylou was given a jacket following Saturday's performances and Linda Ronstadt requested a jacket on Sunday.
These shirts are an effort to spread appreciation of the fine music that keeps me afloat. Proper permission has been obtained to use all photos and artwork. |
