Damn, this shirt is NIIIIIICE, but $50?!?! Please tell me one of you saw this for $40. I can live with that. The graphic is from the GB ft Spacek "Simply So" 12". I framed the cover as soon as I got the LP. Fell in love with the song too, both the OG and the *gasp!* Sa-Ra remix (what can I say? I'm a sucker for farty bass!). I'm not really a fan of the much-abused allover print, but that profile and those colors are just very beautiful to me.HermDamn LabCabin bullshit!

    i JUST saw that shirt at T T LAB and said oh snap aloud. I got that lp and 12 as well. i like that shit. shirt is dope and all but 50 is kinda rediculous. I am torn between not being a sucker and wasting that kinda loot on a shirt (which will probobly fall apart unless you dry clean it everytime) or coming up with some excuses to make me feel better for dropping the cash on such a fly T.

    Just buy it - if you are THAT into it, what's the point
    of avoiding it? Look at it this way - you probably pay $25
    for a T-Shirt...wouldn't you trade TWO of those shirts for
    this one?

    Freshest T-Shirt design I think I've ever seen. If any shirt is worth that $$, this is it.

    Damn, stressing over a $50 shirt? In Australia you're not getting ANYTHING remotely interesting for that. You'll be lucky to get a garden variety shirt for under $30 these days!
    Cop it for everyone in Australia!!!

    So I've heard. Is there a reason stuff is so damn expensive in Australia?

    Hahaha, no doubt. Stressing over a $50 tee is def non status. There's a tredny brand out here in LA. I happened upon their store and noticed their tees are $100+. Everybody got one. Apperantly hundreds are the new twenties. That's how the cookie crumbles. Time to make more money. Gotta throw some D's on that bitch.

    It's a combo of shipping costs, tarrifs and the exchange rate. The fact that retailers get away with it also plays a huge role!!! I personally try to avoid it as much as possible, but sometimes you gotta bite the bullet. A standart Ralph Lauren Polo shirt will set you back around $100 here.

    It's lame though, cause I remember almost 15 years ago reading skate mags and wishing that our prices were the same... Can you say $100+ for just a deck? That's just weak, and serious cash in anyones world. Hell, shoes are out of control and don't even ask about music! Our pay rates aren't bad, but the cost of living here is deceptively high. Still, it's a beautiful place and the sheilas are ace mate!

    I have the 12" too, I like the beats but I won't spend $50 in a t-shirt.

    Damn man, that blows. Could you just have a friend in the states buy you stuff and ship it over or do they tax the shit out of that too?

    my man:

    you know that 12'' is my joint and I like thosee SIC dudes, but hell naw. Regardless of price that design does not work on a t-shirt. Definetly for a vinyl cover though...

    I will admit the SIC had an older all-over print joint (black SIC logo on a black shirt) that was pretty clean.

    not feeling the shirt, but if you make a message board post about it then I definitely think you should cop it

    So you'd pay 100 eagles for a t-shirt lacking originality?
