Do truckers really wear stuff like this?

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

1st: Cynical folks who want to make a fast buck/euro/quid from Sisters (or any other band's) fans who have more money than sense.

2nd: See above.

:wink: :lol:

I still have the cap that was sold by The Reptile House. Battered and tattered, rather like it's owner, but still wearable.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

I can't believe however that it's worth the risk getting sued for cheap copycat stuff like this. I wonder what it costs the seller to produce stuff like this...

The risk of getting sued is fairly remote and unless the design has been trademarked there's very little that can be done legally. It usually ends up being more hassle than it's worth to go after merch bootleggers.

As for the costs, they're relatively low if you print up the product in bulk, usually less than £5 per shirt (for example) depending upon the quality of the shirt and the number of colours/complexity of design. One place I've found does shirts from £1.95 per item. The same place does caps (not the same style as the one here), cotton baseball cap, one spot colour to one location for £1.08 per 1000 units.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: The only Metallica shirt I have is a boot, baught outside the gig at Newcastle Arena on the Load Tour for £5. The shirt was of a better quality than the offical merch, not bad print quality either and £10 cheaper.
