T-Shirt Quality in the Shop?

LukinFan

Are any of the current t-shirts in the 10C store made with that softer t-shirt material that is more fitting - hugs your arms and waist? Probably the closest thing to it is the past couple of annual 10C shirts for analog members. I really do not want to buy another shitty quality Pearl Jam shirt.

Of all shirts that I have ever bought, only one (PJ20 bought in 2011) was made with quality material and stood the test of time. I would like them to consider high quality and durable shirts

I’d be interested in seeing this answered also.  I like the feel of last 2 10C shirts.

The only recent review I've seen is from a guy who bought one of the white Tiny Concert shirts. He said it was pretty thin and you could see his pepperoni nipples through it.

X2 on the quality some shirts are just garbage.  Probably a 3 dollar t-shirt.

I haven't received my Gigaton and Tiny Concert t-shirts yet, but the "Don't Give Up" and "Spines" t-shirts are exactly what you've described. Excellent quality and so comfy! I'm assuming the same will be true for the Gigaton merch too.

For the record, pretty much all the shirts I bought at the Fenway shows are awesome. Very comfortable and I wear them all the time. Haven't picked one up from the website in ages.

Air dry the shirts.  Helps a lot.

I bought my son the Tiny concert onesie. It's exactly that - thin, cheaply made, and see-through.

that's great to hear - I was thinking about getting the "spines" shirt.

the green Fenway shirt from 2018 with the list of all the cities is garbage. I love the shirt, but it's very cheaply made. It's like the rest of their shirts (minus the last two analog 10C shirts)

Sure, but you shouldn't have to do that if the 10C used better quality shirts like 95% of the bands out there.

Thank you for this. I was seriously considering buying one but have no desire to look as if I'm smuggling almonds in public.

That said, the Spines shirt is pretty awesome. No almonds present and good feel.

I have the band drawing one and its not see through. It is soft and comfy and a slimmer cut, but its not see through.

Just remember, heavy cotton t-shirts are bullshit.

For a band so involved with the beach/oceans/surfing, I wish there was a long sleeve "fishing"/swim shirt available.

I wish they would get some different sweatshirts in there too.  With sizing avaliable.

The Boston Terrier shirt from 2018 is the best PJ shirt I've ever had.

this is so true

Haven’t bought any from the shop, but all of my concert shirts have been great, and I’ve got three from Boston ‘18. Haven’t had an issue and I wear them a lot. Now, as said before, I never dry mine in the machine. I always hang to air dry.

I agree with you on the onesie. Definitely lower quality than the many others we have.

Can't disagree more on that Fenway shirt. Super comfortable and I've washed/dried it half a dozen times or so. I wear it a lot.
