You deserve it!!! And you should by no means be forced to give up your wonderful collection. All my best wishes from here to you!!!
Prices are indeed incredible. Some sellers demand several hundred quid for an old shirt ... just ridiculous.
And thank you for the new pictures ...

Btw, first of your shirts are integrated

here (both scroll), more to follow asap ...

Great work Sabine .

Btw, meanwhile I've added some more
here ... not sure about that longsleeve though. Do you know?

They'd be surprised if they actually went for that.
I've sold a few of mine lately,mainly between £30 and £50. Best one was a Wembley Arena one from 1990 that went for £70. That said I've seen the Sisters on Cake long sleeve go for £90 recently.

That sounds more like it. At £300 a pop there would be some heartlanders sitting on a small fortune!
Still you never know, might be worth holding onto them, they might well be worth that much when the sisters become the biggest band in the world after
releases the new album

Or confessions of a teenage drag queen?

2009 was the Mechanised tour , the font is the one on the right of this link (can someone with better IT skills put the image up?)
https://sisterswiki.org/Mechanised_Zurich
By 2010 they had gone back to Caslon Antique.

This is the first time that I have been in this thread since 2017 when those tossers at photobucket removed all of my images, and now I see that they are back, albeit with watermarks. There is a 2009 Mechanised t shirt on the first page.

gotcha, thanks.
the "mechanised europe" font looks like either Arial Narrow (though they may have squashed the height), or Akhbar Regular

if you were looking to recreate it, i think using either would give you a good enough result whereby most folks couldn't tell the difference
the font is nowhere near as iconic and identifiable as caslon antique

ok, so i took this image
opened it in photoshop and tried to recreate the type, using the original as a reference
the top line of text is my hastily recreated copy:
here it is overlaid on the original - it's not perfect but you can barely see any difference:
and here's the photoshop "type" settings i used create it
so yeah, it's probably arial narrow with some tweaks to the tracking and horizontal spacing

Oh eh I've some problems to insert some photos (as an old 47 years man...)...Sorry for that.
The font I was talking about is on the hoodie from the 2009 tour (I bought it in the bataclan) and on the militant sex machine hoodie's as well.
Actually it is for a tatoo, I met the guy this morning but I finally decided not to add the name "sisters" over the sisters wings logo (from 2007, which I think is the best ever).
Anyway many thanks for your help !

Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like the standard Caslon Antique font they’ve used since day 1? Just in lower case?

Yes of course, it is the caslon antic but in lower case ! Thanks...

Not my wardrobe but a friend on the twitters posted this today & I've never seen this back print before.
Anyone have any idea when this was available?

I remember seeing that on one of the recent (ish) tours. Possibly 2016?
