Got to say that the clothing merch lately has been exceptionally good. I don't normally buy merch except at concerts so maybe this has been a PSB thing for a while on the OS, but I noticed the quality of the Disco 5 t-shirt was really nice, and seems they are using similar brand for the Obscure merch. The long sleeve sweaters seem to have a nice thickness to them as well.

Recently sorting through my concert t-shirts and appalled at the quality of some of them for the price I paid. I think the quality of the merch PSB are selling now justifies the higher cost.

Kudos also to finally getting away from generic black (and why I wont be buying a date specific shirt from Amazon). The coloured shirts are great - the green I love, and the blue "East End Boy" t-shirt is fab too. Not crazy on the white shirts because they stain like a bugger if anything spills on them, but they are nice designs too.

No free tote bags tonight as far as I can tell (I asked when buying a shirt upstairs and was told no, they’ve now run out - not sure if that’s ’run out for tonight’ or run out for the week) and I managed to get what I was told was the only bag charm they had left. But it sounds like they are pacing/replenishing stocks of things across the nights - she also told me the posters ‘sold out Monday and Tuesday’). T-shirts seem very good quality, the green Obscure one in particular looks 👍🏻

I got a free tote bag and a signed poster this evening so she may be talking crap. Although they may have run out on the night.

I really hope they put the bag charm in the official store!

Did anyone see the War Child merch?
For your own good, call me tonight.

Why make only 200? You could peddle way more than that and make more for the charity.

This is the Navalny 7" all over again. The charities will thank you lads! If you build it...

Aha! Good to know, thanks. Sounds like they are definitely rationing supplies across the five nights, which is pretty fair TBH.

Normally I'm with you. When I left on wednesday there were still some shirts available. So they haven't sold these 200 at the show. Perhaps you can buy the rest someday from the PSB store...

Wow, I'm surprised, although not surprised these didn't sell, if that makes any sense. I imagine they might show up tonight and tomorrow.

I just opened my Obscure poster to see if it had made it out of Camden OK and found it signed by both Neil and Chris, this was after being told all the signed ones had gone- so a lovely surprise.

This looks ace Pod! ... and even better signed!

Great to have the memory of these dates on the wall
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional
