Help! Merch request

Long time no see (I haven't been on the forum since 23 April 2018, it says), but I am hoping someone here will be able to help me somehow replace an item of merch that is very dear to me and seems to be no longer available anywhere (not on the official shop, eBay, Amazon, etsy, anywhere).

I found out today that I have lost the following t-shirt, from the Holy Bible 20 tour in 2015:

My late mother bought this for me at the time and I am distraught by its loss. Can anyone give any tips on how I can find a replacement? It won't be the same but I will still have the t-shirt, which means so much to me. Money is no object. I need the t-shirt in medium. Any tips or offers would be very gratefully received. Would contacting the official website shop help, does anyone think? Perhaps they have a few lying around somewhere?

It's been a while since I posted here and I cannot remember whether this kind of request is allowed as a new thread, so apologies to the mods if I have overstepped the mark, but I don't know where else to ask.

I've had a quick search on line and can't find any trace of it, even doing image searches, etc. There'd be no harm contacting the official website shop, but I suspect it's unlikely they'd still keep eight year old stock (am I right that this was for the American leg of the tour?)

In terms of hoping that someone out there has one that they'd be prepared to sell, I can only suggest posting on as many social media channels as you can and keep your fingers crossed.

The other thing you could try if it is acceptable to you is could you (or someone with graphic design skills) design the t-shirt from scratch and have it produced? The writing should be easy enough to do, although finding the hand could be a challenge (it may be fairly easy to locate art).

Hope this is some help!

Thank you very much for the reply - great help. Yes, of all the merchandise over the years, I have to lose what seems to be the hardest item to replace!

I contacted the official shop and asked if they were able to put me in contact with the manufacturer and wholesaler, and asked if they knew of anywhere that might have old tour stock. I have also posted on various social media channels and contacted people who have reach - fingers crossed.

I thought about recreating the t-shirt (I have an image that could be used) but where possible I would prefer to replace it from original authentic stock.

Hopefully I will be able to find a replacement. Thanks again for your advice - greatly appreciated!
