cool any updates?

Hugh Freaking Dillon · February 2012

I dig this shirt. I want it.

I finally got a reply from Quicksilver when I chased this today howvere they didj't actually answer my question. I asked:

I'm looking for a t-shirt Eddie Vedder often wears that I've been told is a Quicksilver shirt. I can't see it in your product list on your website & wonder if you still have any in stock.

If you could let me know if it's available at all would be great.

They replied:
Thank you for your interest in our Quiksilver shirts. Most Quiksilver fashions sold on our website are unique to the season and year in which they are offered. Once the availability of a particular item has been depleted, it is not replenished in that same color. In the meantime, we offer new fashion items every month and present entirely new collections every season. However, the product you are looking for may be available in a Quiksilver store near you.

So, they haven't really actually answered my question. I really doubt every shirt they make sells out. I've sent them another message so we'll see.

Nice job for getting a reply! I'm sure you will get to the bottom of this someday

Oh jeez, got another reply & they just don't seem to 'get it', to get what I'm asking but anyway, it would appear they don't have any, or aren't interested in 'looking in the back room' so to speak to see if they have any leftover stock.

"We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We looked through the Tee section of our website and could not locate a shirt that was similar to the one showed in the picture. Unfortunately, if it was available on Quiksilver.com it is now out of stock. Since we are the online store, we do not have access to our land based store's inventory and would not be able to locate it in a retail location. However, one of our stores may have it available, so please use the below link to view our store locator which will contain contact information for our stores.

I really, really highly doubt any of the stores in NZ will have the same tee Ed wears but maybe I should ask them, exhaust all avenues so to speak. Ha ha.

Your persistence is admirable, morello

However, I don't think the regular customer service folks you are getting through the website (I think that's how you are contacting them, correct?) would know about a shirt they once used to carry, nor would they try to find out.

You might have a shot if you look up someone who works for Quiksilver on LinkedIn and then send them a message. Not sure what department they would need to be in; maybe marketing or even design?

morello · March 2012

Oh grrrr, I think I've done quite enough actually,

especially considering I'm on the other side of the world from where the t-shirts ever existed!!

However I do tend to get a bit like a dog with a bone so you've probably goddam put that idea in my head now.....

I've e-mailed the shops here just to check the boxes with trying all avenues & then I'll see how I go. Will keep people updated.

Oh & I'm not in linkedin & also it's customer service's business to help a possible customer resolve any enquiry they have so that's kinda crap if they only look right in front of their faces. Anyway, see how I get on.....

Why do you want the shirt so badly? It's not like it's his. There are a ton of cool Peace Sign shirts.

I know, just would hate to see you try so hard pursuing an avenue that has very little chance for success. Not for lack of effort on your part, I just haven't had much luck with customer service folks. It would seem less painful to bang my head against the wall repeatedly.

If it isn't on the website, customer service will not be much help. If they were experts on the products thery wouldn't be in customer service.

FYI, the cafepress.com Peace stencil shirt can be had for 30% off with coupon code GAELIC30. Good enough for me. In for one in military green (I like the paradox). I fully expect my hubby will confiscate it for his own.

Now if I wear it to an EV show and he's wearing the same shirt will that be weird?

(assuming that I'm anywhere near the stage for him to see it)

Cheers,
KJ

That's quite a cool one. I gave up on the other & yeah, if we want a peace sign t-shirt I'm sure there are plenty out there.

Just saw an old episode of Weeds yesterday. Andy, one of the characters wore the exact same Quicksilver t-shirt as Eddie, and i immediately though of this thread.
So i did a bit of Wikipedia'ing: it was season 3, episode 12, which was showed for the first time in october 2007. That means that the t-shirt is probably more than 5 years old and there is probably no change of finding it in a store anymore.... :(
Hope some of the other cool peace t-shirts will be just as cool

If he buys shirts like I buy pants/shorts, he'll go in a store and buy 3-4 of the same exact thing.

imagine his suitcase, filled with nothing but the same t-shirt... :P -didn't he wear it almost every night on the European Tour?

I created my own "custom" shirt through cafe press.com. I guess you say it helps that I'm a graphic designer!

I'll let you know how it comes out when I get it (just ordered it). This is the preview:

^^^ Very cool. Definitely let us know how it looks when you get it(got it?) & if there's any possibility you would share the artwork for others to pick one up.
