That means some Fragile era stuff is next right? Really excited for that.
are some of these the exact same as ones that were sold at shows, then? is the quality actually better than the regular tees?
tempted by the SIN one, but might hold out for some different designs. but like some of you i also have a lot of the originals from ~1997 forward sitting in a drawer somewhere. maybe i should just pull those out and keep my bank account safe.
EDIT: also, just curious, did anyone get the "i'd rather die than give you control" beanie? any thoughts on sizing? i love my "anxiety" beanie but shit is so tight on my apparently giant head.

Eh, we'll see.

I bought two of them. I am the problem.
I've always wondered what that spinning thing is meant to be on the Eraser shirt.
The Wikipedia page no longer has the image, but it was associated with Vehmic courts.

Would definitely be interested in reprints of the Slip shirts if this series keeps going. $50 is kinda tough, though, but if I'm only getting one...
If you’re looking to stretch your dollar a little, you can always try PayPal’s Pay-in-4 feature. I grabbed me three shirts for like $47 now, then I just drop another $47 every couple weeks until it’s paid off. Takes a little bit of the sting away.
Edit: That said, I like that these are marked as “Collection 1.” Not too sure about how much Slip stuff we’ll see, but at least this is some indication that more Definitive Editions are indeed still coming.
Hoooly shit, I hadn’t thought about that. I’d love getting a chance to get another one. I bought my OG Demon Seed shirt at my first (maybe second?) NIN show ever and it’s still one of my favorites. Bought a second one a couple years back and the fit was all kinds of fucked up for being the same brand and same size.
I’d imagine we’re probably like a decade away from seeing any of those though, at this rate.
I wore it to every NIN show I went to up until the 2018 shows, when I just got the logo tattooed on my arm. 🤣 Now maybe it’ll last a little bit longer.
It's so you can make a cool GIF on your web page:

Honestly, the pricing of these shirts is absolutely disgusting. 60 pounds on the UK store, plus shipping and import taxes. Insane for EU based fans. Why NIN doesn't have a EU store is crazy. I'm gonna leave out expletives here...
I'll stick with the bootleggers.
3 of them sold out already. So folks either have disposable money or don't give an F and are living on debt.
that being said, the limited quantity run on things is getting a bit tiresome as well. it puts some added pressure on fans to get this now or you will never be able to ever again. Also, increases the chance of these being scalped and placed on ebay for 2-3x the original cost.
I'm more interested in the With Teeth era shirts, personally I think those are the best.
I always assumed it was a sigil of chaos magick.

This is what Taylor Swift has been doing the last 3 years on their merch store, limited release to prey on peoples FOMO and charge obnoxious prices for the stuff because they can. Only on the NIN side of the house, those "limited" items come back again (like the sweat pants, the beach towels, the umbrella etc)
Its predatory.
It makes sense though. You get a contract for X number of items and produce them for sale and then you don't have leftovers that clutter up a warehouse. Kind of like the end of the tour when they put everything up on the store? Those are the leftovers that need to not sit in a warehouse.
Got my demon Hellfest shirt and Somewhat Damaged sweatpants yesterday in the mail. The sweatpants are comfy. Never thought I'd see the day of having NIN on my butt.
Ordered four prints from the NIN store - Two “hands” prints, and two of Kraw’s show prints. Finally showed up, and not only were all four prints crammed into one tube and creased to shit, but they just straight up sent me four “Hands” prints instead of two and two. They’re pretty much all worthless, with only one of them kind of worth displaying. So I dunno. Gonna get my refund and probably come up with some kind of giveaway eventually, I guess. I was initially just hoping to use the two extras I bought as trade fodder down the line, but I have no use for three spare fucked up prints.
My UK store gig prints and US store tour shirts showed up okay, though. Now I’m just waiting on hellfest shirts from the UK store and Definitive Collection shirts from the US store. After that, might hold off on the NIN store for a while until they (hopefully) get something else figured out with their shipping situation. Again.
