I Crew For “Cecil B De Barrett” Vintage Crew T-Shirt | Bill “Doc” Gans Closet

An original “I Crew For / Cecil B De Barrett” vintage crew t-shirt from the personal collection of Bill “Doc” Gans.

The dark navy shirt pairs “I CREW FOR” on the front with “Cecil B De Barrett” on the back—a playful nod to filmmaker Cecil B. DeMille. The Archives’ earlier catalog description identifies it as an inside-joke shirt made for band and crew during Doc’s time working with James Taylor, in reference to tour manager Eric Barrett. The exact tour and production year are not documented in the inventory.

Barrett worked with Jimi Hendrix from 1968–1970 and went on to a long career behind the scenes with major touring artists. His memoir, Experienced: On the Road with Jimi Hendrix and Beyond, written with Lawrence Robinson, was released August 4, 2026. Read more about the book.
