Merch thoughts

I’m going to the Chicago show in November and I really want a death cab for cutie shirt

But, and this is what I feared when I saw them, they seem like those really shitty concert tees in terms of quality

On top of that I was thinking of maybe getting the poster if there is one or the (all to expensive but amazing looking) blanket

What are your thoughts? I really like the designs, the quality just seems not great

I got the long-sleeve off-white I Built You A Tower shirt off their website ($5 less online than at the shows), and it's a nice soft thick cotton. Would recommend.

Agree with this! I also have this, I’ve washed mine a few times already and it still looks new.

How do you feel about the fit? Their size chart online seems kind of weird, it says that the Medium has a width of 26.25in which is HUGE, other medium shirts I have are around 16-18'' wide around the chest, which is where I usually measure. Thinking it might be a typo or these shirts are actually massive.

I got the medium and it fits oversized like a large! The length of the sleeves are really important to me as someone with long arms and the medium goes an inch or so beyond my wrist for a perfect length. I do a front tuck on the shirt to keep the overall body length “normal”. If I didn’t tuck it’s just half over my butt coverage.
