From reading your comment it actually (somewhat) seems (a little bit) justified, especially when you see the Woman's Appetite Cross sleeveless tops with the croquet style, tie up thingy on the chest... Or maybe not! ;-D I totally understand where you are coming from, on the surface of it smaller garment and less material should = cheaper but it really doesn't all of the time. A lot of factories work in a way that one machinist will just sew sleeves, another the body of the garment etc...the more pieces or embellishments a garment has the more people will have worked on it. We did also sometimes use a small British factory where one person would create a whole garment but that doesn't tend to be how it works in the Far East or wherever GNR are likely to have outsourced to. It's quite fascinating stuff, I was pretty ignorant about the rag trade prior to working there but I generally have a better understanding now of what exactly I'm paying for when I buy clothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow again.. You're a gem with your knowledge on all this, so thanks! For the record, the Men's tees I've picked from the London gigs are made in Haiti, which is a far bloody cry from any Asian nations! I've gotta few Aussie leg tees, but I honestly don't recall where they're made/printed and I don't have them handy to check at this point! ;-D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post frankmiller Posted July 8, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2017 I was able to go to the pop up shop and picked up the Paris specific shirt even though I didn't love it, thinking that it was the main one for the show. I also picked up an Appetite vinyl and had one of the artists (Binockl) they had on site personalize it. Most people had him customizing shirts with special markers, but I wanted something different. Also got two mini prints signed by both artists for free. Outside the arena I was able to get the show specific print (80/100, screen printed), which was sold flat inside of a cardboard sleeve that they made me leave at an office with other items (motorcycle helmets, big bags, etc) before entering the stadium. Was also able to grab the last skull and shotgun Paris shirt. Photos below, sorry for the crap quality. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like fucking awesome and a must cop for the back print alone on it IMHO! I'm a big fan of Kostabi's work and the UYI album covers combined are some of my most facourite album artwork of all time, just so iconic! Here's another view from the merch catalog for the Paris pop-up that was shared within the Paris gig thread: Would like to get a closer look at the Swear Word tee and the camo cap... Also, awesome merch haul for you @frankmiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw this item in person at Varvatos London and the embroidery on the back is excellent. Is the whole setup worth 350 Euros? No, probbaly not quite that much! I believe it was 250 quid in London...

But my point still stands, 250 euro for that kind of product is a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd cop on site if I had such access to something exclusive like that here in London! When you consider the rarity and the artwork I'd be willing to pay the ticket because I know from experience that once the pop-up or event is over you're gonna waste equally as much money, if not more, not to mention time, effort and unnecessary stress tryna grab these limited items after the fact! ;-D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff80 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) I search for the white Werchter T-Shirt!!! If someone want to trade it with the London T-Shirt (1st night/Jack the Ripper) or Skull/Flag T-Shirt from Nijmegen please let me know!!! It's also possible for me only to buy it from someone and not to trade. Condition is mint! Edited July 15, 2017 by Duff80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xBrownstonex Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) Interesting discovery. You can see that the tags on the nijmegen shirts have been cut (that job hasnt been very well done).

Very interesting thread about the current tour merch! Does anybody know where i could get a shirt with the bomber front print like on the pic above? I was searching everywhere.

That's a Euro tour tee so I'm afraid to say it, but I don't think you'll see it for sale again unless it pops up elsewhere as apart of some sort of left over tour inventory sale. That's pure speculation of course that that might even happen. You didn't see it for sale at the merch stands in Munich? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even haven't seen one on ebay or stuff like that, nothing. In this thread people have quite an extensive knowledge about the tour merch, so i thought i try my best and maybe someone can tell me any source to get one shirt or where they normally sell the left over inventory of a tour.
