The band clearly values loyalty over quality. No other reason they've stuck with Tsurt for so long.
That said, band tshirts have never been the best quality-wise. And with merch basically the only way artists make money, it's not surprising to see bands/artists skimp on shirt quality.

The quality used to be better. I have a few shirts from the 2000 and 2003 tours that have held up well. I have a long sleeve from the Binaural tour that still looks great. Which is crazy considering it is 25 years old. Even my Austin shirt from 2014 still looks great. Good thing I do not buy any merch anymore.

The shirt from my first show in 96 is still in good condition. Granted, I don't wear it a ton, but it's held up so much better than shirts I've purchased the past few tours.
Comfort Colors is 100% the way to go. I also saw the new responder shirt is not tultex. It is american apparel heavyweight. Curious to hear how people like that one

of course not. But I would like to buy the shirts and when I buy them I want them to last and feel like I got my $45 worth

I’m just glad you’re not forced to buy a poor quality shirt. I went to TJ Maxx recently and the t shirts were very thin, so I didht buy it. I actually have pj shirts from 2018 and 2024 and both seem like good quality. Washed and dried multiple times and still fit great. Don’t think it was a strange question.

"I love your t-shirt designs and would buy more if you used a heftier material" seems like reasonable feedback to a business from a potential customer

But the consumer has a choice not to purchase if they feel the quality is not up to their standards. I mean you are going to a concert, not clothes shopping. I wouldn’t pay $45 for a crappy product but I don’t think about T shirts when I’m going to a show. What if the material was too hefty? Then what? What’s the thread count? Is the material breathable? I might just get the socks. I’ll keep u posted.

Not clothes shopping? They have a mobile Bloomingdales that rolls into every city.

You're on a band's forum, specifically a thread about that band's merch. I can't think of a more appropriate place for people to discuss the designs and quality of the product.
Of course nobody is forcing you to buy it -- you're just being a dick.

Cry me a river. Don’t buy it if you think the quality is not up to your standards. Don’t be so angry it’s a T-shirt my guy. Relax and just get the socks .

It's my fault, I brought up the Tshirt quality issue after getting a nice shirt at the Billy Strings concert Saturday night, haha. (Which is comfort colors).
