So I have no clue if this issue has been discussed... but I'm gonna go insane, checking this web site for them to finally add merch...
anyone?
also, i just thought i'd add... that buying hand-made Chem's shirts on e-bay... is lame.

I'm not acting. This is me, so you have a problem with me. If you've got something to say, just say it, don't mumble under your breath. You can't just turn up after the party is well underway and tell the host to turn off the gangster rap because you find it offensive.

And im playing 'Ryu's' Background music from SF2!
Anyway, I heard from a friend that the shop was buggy! Everytime you take items out of the cart and update, the S&H keeps going up.(Not good)
And those handmade chem shirts on ebay are slum shit bro! You can try making your own! Go find places that do shirts that have heat presses with superhigh tempertures and gold 'foil', and put your artwork on jpg or preferably psd. format, depending on the vendor!

I haven't purchased anything from the Chems shop - it's a bit steep. If I had the money I would happily fork it over for some special goodies. The holidays will be here before I know it so if I'm a good girl, Santa aka my husband might put something good in my stocking.
OK, that didn't come out right at all.
Anyway - agreed the handmade shirts are a bit... dodgy. They are fine if you make them yourself and you wear them yourself or give them to a friend but it's so wrong to make a profit off something like that. I remember a few years ago sneakerbeater found the most hideous handmade Chems item (if you dare call it that) for sale on ebay, and he came back here to tell us about it so we can laugh. It was a tacky trucker hat that said "Chemical Brothers" across the front. It looked like some 12 year old sloppily and nearly illegibly wrote in plain block letters above the visor. It was so hideous, it was funny.
No offense to 12 year olds.

There are some malls that have those small vendor shops that actually do good t-shirts! I had this idea where I just wanted to make an easy 3D rendered version of the Chems logo using two colors. I then told the T-shirt guy and he said that it will cost about 16 dollars. And for a nice metallic logo on a black shirt, 36 bucks!
...on heavyweight cotton of course!

.......And there ever impressive (or boring) lineup of Final Fantasy remixes....
As for the shop merch here. At least I got recognized at the battles show for the pills won't help shirt. Girl comes up and cries out about loving the saying and the brixton reference. I asked if she knew who the chems were........quickly found out she was a trendster......yeahhhhhhhh......
Must keep my composure, that or perform a FATALITY!
