Has anyone else noticed that the label inside was The Reptile House, and not your normal shirt names. Online store back in business (in the near future) ?

Yup, Reptile House on the t-shirt but generic manufacturer on the beanie.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Seconded.When I go to the Leeds gig,as a big Sisters shirt collector,I'll be after all 4 lyric shirts,the tour shirt,and that hoodie.However,the cynic in me thinks that most of them will be sold out by then.The chance to buy them online though,would be a real bonus.






Though not for my bank manager,obviously.

Yep, so I noticed. Also the hoodie contains that label.

So far I bought the hoody, scarf, Temple shirt and beanie.

Don't know about the USA ones but the one I have got is excellent quality and contains the label mentioned by Gollum's.
"SISTERS" is written on the front in a bit dark greyish color.
Sisters logo ("new") on one of the sleeves.

So the European hoodies are grey on black and the US ones were black on grey, right?

I bought one of those pale grey T-shirts :D . I have to wear a white vest top under it though as it is rather see through and I don't want to alarm people with my bra :eek: :lol:

I only see one design with the "skinny" girly fit. :evil:

I know this was said before during the US tour when the girly shirts sold out early, I'll say it again - do they just not realize how many FEMALE fans they have? I'm having one of the European tour shirts sent to me and it looks like I'll have to settle for a "normal" fit, which never fits me right. I managed to get two skinny fit tees in Chicago (tour and Utterly Bastard Groovy) and I absolutely love them.

Pfffffft! Speak for yourself, please! *I* happen to be quite fit. In fact, I'm fitter than I was 20 years ago. :lol: :P :twisted: :roll:

It's quite simple really (although I know that saying the following around here is tantamount to telling you lot to go f*ck your mums, innit):

1. Get off your arses. DO something!
b. Stop stuffing your faces. Even better, stop stuffing your faces with saturated fats, and eliminate animal products entirely. Eat loads of fresh/steamed veg., legumes, and whole grains. Try tofu, it won't kill you. :roll:
pi. Cut back on the alcohol consumption. No, really.

Repeat the above, and often. Maybe one day you, too, will be able to wear a "skinny fit" tee! ;)

:lol: Well there is something to be said about not denying yourself too much...I think I started eating a whole lot better when I finally learned how to cook a decent meal. As in, actually cook, nothing frozen or from a box - we buy everything fresh. Lots of fruits and veggies but I can't say I pay a whole lot of attention to things like calories and fat content (but I should probably start) I don't eat a ton of meat but I don't think I could give it up entirely - I figure it's all about a healthy balance, everything in moderation. I'm the same size I was in high school (10 years ago) maybe a bit smaller which I'm quite proud of as it seems a lot of people aren't - I definitely eat better now and am somewhat active (tend to hibernate in the winter though) but I also smoke and drink far too much coffee, so I've got my good and my bad habits just like anyone.

I might also be lucky and just have good genes, my family is generally small (and short) - my mom is almost 50, doesn't exercise, drinks (but not a ton, and usually wine or gin) but eats about like I do, and is the same size, as is my grandmother.

But to get back on topic - I like the skinny fit shirts dammit, they're much more flattering! They do have an entirely new generation of fans as well (though age doesn't necessarily correspond to size of course) Though to be honest I'm happy with anything at all these days, and there are bands that don't do them at all. I like advertising the fact that I am a rabid Sister fan - I'm a consumer and admit it, I like the merch. 8)

"Cut back on the alcohol consumption."

Nope...read that 5 times now and still don't understand it.
Anyone ?

Anyway, just off to get another bottle of Stella for breakfast and iron me XXL t-shirt to wear today

Sage advice, Sinny.

But crystal meth is a lot less hard work. :innocent: :wink:

And far more in keeping with the spirit of the Sisters...
