Andrew Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Holy shit, $95 for a hoodie and $40 for a shit? I hope you mean shirt otherwise they are definitely asking too much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Unless the design is copyrighted. Sure, she can't sell it for profit. but you're allowed to buy a vest and add patches to it. If we pay for all the materials and then she makes it for us, I don't see a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That depends on her making an unspecified number of vests for us Maybe the mods can award 100 posts and 50 rep for each vest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florence Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 you're artistic, and I know you can make it yourself for less than $20. I could. But how should I copy the embroidery? I love the logos on the vest so much!I once tried to make a Warning man patch myself... but that's a different story! xD Basically, the embroidery & the back print makes the vest so expensive Or for all of us who want one That depends on her making an unspecified number of vests for us Maybe the mods can award 100 posts and 50 rep for each vest :lol: haha VESTS FOR EVERYONE!!!

DoodleBob Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Anyone have a picture of the blue Green Day hoodie? And if they have the same merch on their second leg, I think I'm going to get shirt #1. All of the others aren't that appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather. Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 True! I may just do what I did for the 21CB tour, wait until it's over and buy a shirt on clearance. This is the only reasonable approach to the shitshow that are merch prices. In no economy, however wealthy you are, is a t-shirt worth $40. Those prices are beyond ridiculous. Bet they are still being produced in Bangladesh or some other poor country where those poor people don't see a single cent for their work. No, thank you, Green Day! Thank God there are still bands out there that don't charge a fortune for a little bit of fabric. Is this a good thing? I was actually referring to an interview in which Billie was asked about where their merch comes from and he had no idea and when he found out, he said he would try and change that. Forgot which interview it was though. I felt bad for him in that interview, they sort of caught him off guard and ambushed him with that information that he probably had no idea about. Like "Hey Billie, did you know little Asian fingers slave for no wages to make your t-shirts?" and he's all "Uh.... uh.... what? That's upsetting to hear..." He is probably powerless about that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather. Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Do you have a link to that interview? I can't recall ever seeing it. It was a written interview (not video) done I think early in the trilogy promotion... can't remember what magazine it was, though. To sum up, they asked him about GD's merchandise being outsourced to Bangladesh or somewhere, and then said he looked sort of confused and/or disturbed to hear this but had no real justification for it.

The Snark Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I had $65 in my pocket so I could buy the hoodie right away, but damn, $85?! I bought the red shirt instead. I almost went back for the hoodie afterwards, but the lines were too long. My wallet is very thankful for that. That vest is pretty fucking awesome! Let's see...if you get a denim jacket from the thrift store and cut off the sleeves. Then use paint pens for all the designs....you'd probably only spend somewhere around $40. I kind of want to try this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stich Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 cool, could you post a pic, pleaaaaaaaaase? I'll love you forever :l</blockquote> Here is the hat, I don't like that it's a flat bill /: Oops sorry the quotes got messed up did you buy at a show? I didn't see it in any picture of the merch and I'm really think to buy it at Milan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziebix Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Can you use a card to pay? I understand that the some (all?) comeback shows were cash only. We were able to use a credit card. Not sure if that'll be true at every show though. And regarding the sweatshirts, the $95 one runs small and the $85 runs big. If you're buying it, but it bigger or smaller depending on your size. Hubby and I had to swap sweatshirts because of the fit and we both really like each others more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Yeah I wanted to buy the vest, but I thought the same thing...I could make that! Or maybe I can get it on sale later or something. I think I'm happier with my shirts and poster anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie, get your gun Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 They sell a vest, like Mike's vest??? Are you fucking kidding me? I want it too! (although I don't wear vests, but still) The tour merch is awesome!!! I like the arrows bag, a pretty t-shirt with the boys faces from the album covers and of course, a TC t-shirt like the one Tré wears. I want 1 of each, please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubbie Head Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 I love t-shirts number 1,8,9,10 and 11. It was so much easier when there was only one or two decent t-shirts to choose from last tour I think this time I'm going to buy one with the tour dates on the back, 'cause I think that makes them more special! And more of a souvenir too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaHawk2009 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 The tour dates on the merch only goes up to Bilbao. Makes me wonder if Reading/Leeds are gonna be a part of the 99 Revolutions tour or their own mini-tour... Scratch that, just seen the stuff on the last page. They better not leave Leeds off those shirts when they sell them AT LEEDS. And I hope the best is available at Leeds, even though festivals usually have less merch... I'm worried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
