Bob Weir Uncle Pecos Tribute ACE Shirt

Whether he was singing about the wicked wind in “Mexicali Blues” or the gunfighter ballads of the West, Bob Weir brought a distinct, dusty Americana flavor to the psychedelic revolution. This shirt pays homage to that specific era and attitude, referencing his seminal 1972 solo album Ace—which was essentially a Dead album in disguise—and the playful “Uncle Pecos” moniker often associated with his acoustic prowess and cowboy mustache.

This design is for the fan who knows that the rhythm guitar is the engine of the bus. It captures the rugged, laid-back vibe of the early 70s, mixing western typography with the classic cool of a rock icon. It’s a nod to the “Shorts and Cowboy Boots” era, the campfire jams, and the endless touring lifestyle. It’s not just a band shirt; it’s a tribute to the storyteller, the number one, the Ace in the hole.

Printed on sturdy, tour-ready cotton, this tee is built for the long strange trip. It resonates with the Deadhead who appreciates the deep lore, the cowboy covers, and the unique, frantic genius of Weir’s playing style. Wear it to the next show, the lot, or just while spinning Europe ’72 on a sunny afternoon.
