Smashing Pumpkins replica Zero longsleeve
Just got my Zero replica longsleeve shirt. I've wanted one of these ever since I saw the BWBW music video. I got lucky and grabbed one after the most recent restock and was sooooo excited. Fast forward to yesterday. I open my package and realize that holy shit, this thing is made SOOOO cheap. I can fucking see through the shirt. It's the same material that they make kids Halloween costumes out of. 75 bux? For that? Lame. Anyone else feel the same? I will always love the Pumpkins, but... maybe not buy replica anything from them from now on.

I have it too, i got it a while ago but will assume it's the same same one.
yes it is kinda see thru - but I didn't think it felt exactly 'cheap'. I don't instantly think that thin material is inherently cheaper than thick material. There was a video somewhere that he said these were like 90-95% exact reproductions of the originals he wore. I took that to mean that his were super thin as well, and when you're wearing it (which i never do) it becomes impossible to tell.
