Re: t shirts and swag at shows

In Omaha and Des Moines, the selection was pretty extensive, especially on t-shirts.  Lots of CDs seemed to be moving, and there were some autographed items, too.  I had been putting off buying the 2012 Tour t-shirt from the JB Store 'cause I wanted to buy one at a show...and got my wish!  wink

Wifey and I each bought a shirt at the Indy show, then each bought another at the Springfield show - if we catch any more, then they might be out by the time he gets to you! smile

I got the Tribut "God Save The Blues" - and the graphic around Joe's face is just completely gone - looks like a headless guitarist... sad

Saw him in OKC end of April. Good shirt selection as well as bigger sizes for us with some heft. Shirts reasonable at $25. Saw Roger Waters over the weekend and his shirts were $40+. CD's not sure as I did not buy one.

Wish the GSTB shirt came in a darker color.  Maybe a variant will be offered in the future.

Re: t shirts and swag at shows

My only complaint about the shirts is that they are made with very thin cotton so they shrink and wear out very fast. You need to buy one size bigger if you expect to get more than a couple wearings out of them. I ordered two long sleeved t-shirts from the JB store in my size last fall and neither lasted more than two washings.
It's not just Joe's shirts though. It seems many t shirts and jeans are being made with cheaper, thinner material.
I would pay more per shirt if they were made to last.

I agree the t-shirts are somewhat second rate and not built to last. I wash mine on gentle cycle and line dry. Cotton prices have been through the roof the past couple years or so. Could explain the thinner fabrics you're seeing out there. The Joe shrits I have are made by American Apparel and made in America. That could be the selling point for Joe's camp - I don't know. A 50/50 blend would be helpful with shrinkage.
