    Those shirts are indeed awesome, but $42 (American)?!? That’s insane for a t-shirt. Or maybe I’m just being a curmudgeonly old man.

      I see you haven’t bought a band T-shirt in awhile! (also they use materials that have all sorts of fair trade, organic, and social justice certifications) (also I chose one of the $35 ones)

      I’m ok with paying premium for band shirts even though they’re just basic tees with a print. It’s my way of supporting the artist aside from attending live shows, because streaming their music doesn’t really do anything, and buying physical CDs/vinyl isn’t practical for me.

      Band merchandise is basically a donation with a reward, it’s not meant to compete on price with store-bought clothing.
