Merch Problems

[roadkillr]

Hey,
I was at the Huntington show last Friday and, of course, I bought a ton of merch. Well, when I got home, I realized that one of the GNR shirts I bought was screwed up. The picture on the front was off center. It's bad enough to make me not want to wear it. I paid $35 for it so I am pissed. I emailed GNR's official site Friday nite and still haven't gotten a response. So, I found the site of the merch company that made the poster I bought and they just replied that they make GNR shirts but not the tour shirts. Even though Axl was sick that nite, he still put on an amazing show and I wanted this shirt to keep my memories of that nite. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what I should do?
Please help, thanks.

Don't take this the wrong way, but didn't you look at it before you purchased it?  When I bought my shirt, I looked it over before buying it..

I bought a tee last night in Worcester. Wore it during the show. Got home today and laundered it. Much to my surprise (and disappointment), the screen-print is already cracking and flaking off. After ONE wash and dry! What the F?

Forty bucks for it, and it's gonna last for about six wearings.

Now that would piss me off.. my shirt *seems* ok right now after being washed once, but I've only worn it a) at the concert, and b) after it was washed.. so now I'm a little worried myself..

Maybe it's more of a 'hang on the wall' type thing?

wow thats bad

im gonna have to watch out how i look after my new shirt now

Not to sound picky but make sure you wash it the way its meant to be washed. I bought a shirt at the Hammerstein show, ive washed it maybe 30 or 40 times since then and it still looks brand new. I have to wash it seperatly and i dont tumble dry it, leave it hanging on a line!

That's a good tip. I also think people forget that you're not supposed to wear shirts before you wash them. They fade and crack *much* faster when you do. I'm not saying that's what caused the problems with the one someone just bought last night, it's just a tip.

My shirt from 02 and Hammerstein both look excellent still.

I bought a bunch of shit on my way out of the show and, yes, I did look at all of it to see if the color was good and all of that.  I just didn't realize that the picture was off center until I got home.

[Bandita]

I am surprised at how much you boys know about the laundry!

Good idea to wash cold (also inside out helps too) and not put the shirt in the dryer though if you want it to last.

I've got three 2006 concert shirts & a 2006 jacket, and they are quality.

I haven't had a single problem with them.

Sadly tho, typically at a concert, once you've bought it, it's final.

If anyone has any problems, please pm me

Wow.  This topic is so "Rock N' Roll".

Turn it inside out when you wash it, and the screen-print should last longer. Might not smell as good, but it should definitely last longer.

When does the merch page go up on the site?

Soon...

"Dude look at that shirt, its off center"

"Oh my god what a loser"

That was going to be my advice.

Most of the concert shirts I've bought are like that unless you are careful. All I do is wash it inside out and then let it air dry, no dryer. Works for me. My print never comes off anymore.

I just turn the shirt inside-out, wash on cold, dry on low heat. Never had any problems.

[Krispy Kreme]

BTW, wash on delicate cycle in cold  water. Do not dry in dryer, or if you do, on the lowest heat and then take out before completely dry. Do not  overdry. I do the laundry in the family so I know what  I am talking about.
