This is the second version of the first LeShirt. After the initial run of 50 or so shirts, the Marilyn Manson Dead To The World Tour was already visiting other countries in late Fall of '96. By this time some shows had been cancelled and venues had changed. Also, South American and European show dates were known.

So I decided to re-do this shirt by correcting tour dates from the first leg of the US tour and adding six more dates from overseas.

Another thing that bothered me about the first shirt was the way the bolt on the front was angled. It appeared to be pointing straight down and didn't look right to me (although, looking back, it was perfect and didn't need changing). So when I re-did this LeShirt, I had the printer angle the bolt so it would slant more to the left (yet they slanted it a little too much).

One other difference with this shirt was that I had the printer change the white color to an off-white color. This is only distinguishable by placing both versions side by side.

The production run on this shirt was roughly 58 total. Although no long sleeves were produced for the initial Shock LeShirt ver. 1.1, this remake did include two dozen long sleeves.

Another interesting fact about this LeShirt was that I actually called Jannus Landing in Florida to verify that Manson played 2 shows there. Posted information on that wasn't accurate at the time. Also I left out some South American dates (just before the European dates) because there was some uncertainty of the cities and venues at the time.

As with ver. 1.1, this shirt also included the Spooky Kids Bat logo I designed in the same off-white color on the right sleeve.
