Oh wtf, all the good merch is excluded from the site.
Now I understand the comments of "where's the towel?".
The long sleeve shirt appeals to me, as does the Nonetheless design.

Presumably those remaining items will be available soon after the shows.
(If there's any left over)

I wouldn't order the cap as the last one I got is quite low quality, one of those cheap plastic $1 weightless hats.
They should do proper fabric caps, the ones with a buckle on the back to tighten it.
You'd think with Chris Lowe being the baseball cap guy they'd sell quality caps so we can dress like him, but unfortunately it's not the case currently. Even caps worth $5 from Kmart (Australia) are better quality. These are like the 2 cent Temu caps, kinda embarrassing! Rant over, don't order the caps...

What do we all think of the Japan merch?

Ooh, I'd love a towel, if only so I could say I knew where my towel was!

I used to collect scarves from concerts when I lived in the UK and this looks pretty similar.

But the good news is, Neil is doing well and on track to perform tomorrow.

The red hoodie is actually pretty cool, shockingly enough for them.

I think it all looks much better than the regular Dreamworld merch which I don’t like at all! I bought a hoodie. I would have bought the tote bags as well, had it been available

I don't know what DopeFiend has been smoking but all the Pet Shop Boys baseball style caps that I have purchased from their offical store have been 100% cotton and well made. They hold up very well.

I agree. It all looks so much better than the regular Dreamworld merch (I bought none of that). I'm looking at the hoodie as well... did you find a size guide? Cap looks great as well, but I've just bought myself a new cap.

Completely agree I just received the Pet head cap at Christmas and is good quality with a metal buckle.

Okay, that's good to hear. Apologies for my remarks. If it helps, I got the yellow Smash cap and am disappointed with the quality.

There's a clip from tonight's show. "Great to be back! Sorry about Sunday night." And he does a stomach rubbing gesture. "But we're here tonight and we're gonna have a great time."
It's nice to see Neil in good spirits.

Nehru's looking well.
