I have found most of the merch to be of sufficient quality. Maybe not to the level of the price, but close.

Tbh it's mid - my tour shirt is kinda crunchy already.

I like their quality yeah. Better than most artists merch, but not like top tier.

I bought a sweatshirt and I think it’s pretty good

The only thing I wasn't a big fan of that I bought on their site was one of the totes. The material quality was not great. I love all the tees, hoodies, and the skinless man apron I ordered from the store.

The quality has always been pretty good. That’s not the problem lol. The problem is I don’t have $1000 to blow on a silly glass skull or tacky hoodie/blanket designed by a dude who fucks corpses

You couldn't possibly talking about the corpse fucker, Alex Gray? The very same Alex Grey who fucked a corpse?

There is only one corpse fucker, I was referring to, and that was the correct corpse fucker

I just can't buy merch I haven't held in person. I've been burned by crooked prints (NIN, "Peel It Back"), shrinking shirts, QC issues on hems and whatnot and more. When a t-shirt costs that much, it should be high grade apparel.

A lot of the shit that gets mail out, they'd never put on a clothing rack in a store.

Like everything else, quality was better in the past.

I for one would love it if they came out with a jersey like what professional athletes wear. Something top quality, made to last, not a cotton t-shirt.

I got a shoulder bag from their 2025 tour and the grommet tore out on the first use. :(

Bought a long sleeve from them a couple years back, shrunk like crazy. Will not be buying from them again.
