buying shirts to feed sonic youth

su x* · 01.24.2008, 01:38 AM

for anyone who's bought from the sonic store before,

im interested in buying a couple shirts, whats the quality of the materials like?

Cantankerous · 01.24.2008, 02:08 AM

pretty good, like any other shirt you'd buy really. at the sy/flaming lips show i attended i got a really nice one w/ the 100% dirty thing on it. the cotton is great. but i think it was womens. i also have the one with the astronauts on it which isn't the greatest quality cotton, it's like generic band shirt cotton which is rather stiff.

i suppose theyd would be the same shirts as the ones on the site..

thanks

they are GREAT cotton. preshrunk, nice and thick, great shirts.

they treat us right.

Rob Instigator · 01.24.2008, 10:24 AM

see?

sonicl · 01.24.2008, 10:31 AM

They don't treat us entirely right. The international postage would be a lot less if they did

Good of you to question it! The Sonic Youth shirts are good quality, and I've never had any problems other than finding the proper sizing. My USAISAMONSTER shirt became wider than it was long after putting it through the wash, and SouthernLord sells using American Apparel, so you have the best quality, so it's good to look out.

sonicl · 01.24.2008, 10:45 AM

Oh yeah. Good point. US sizes seem to come up smaller than elsewhere.

thanks,

with the money steve shelley will buy himself publicity, and become the more popular of the group

I want a Sonic Youth shirt. But, yeah, postage, and it's hard to get ideal sizes in shirts for me.

Only three weeks to wait and you can get one without having to pay postage!

What do you mean?

Only three weeks to the Australian tour

(Please don't tell me that I've touched on a sore point)

Norma J · 01.25.2008, 04:45 AM

No sore point. But I also wont be in attendance. I contemplated paying the admission price, but then opted not to.

I got the orange SY shirt with the high contrast blue image of Thurston.
