the best way to tell the age of a t-shirt is by looking at the tag. there are some tags that are GUARANTEED to be soft, silky and smooth. the more you wash and wear them, the softer, silkier, and smoother they will get.

if you have a screen stars t-shirt, congratulations, you have a great t-shirt!

in the late 80s they moved to the black screen stars best tag. these shirts are beefier than the early versions, and it will take you more washings and wearings to get that thin silkiness. still a great tag. (screen stars best example)
