And...this Apple Box Shirt described thusly...

I certainly imagine there will be more shirts, but one can hope for baseball caps/hats, posters, and the like. Interesting...and there's definitely plenty of great old merch stuff I'd love to see re-issued.

Wish they'd put up something for fan feedback on this. Nominations, and/or voting for what should get re-issued.

The good folks at Kung Fu are checking into this for me & getting back with info soonerer than laterer...and the Wilco 2012 Summer Tour Baseball Caps should be in any day now...they said they are only getting a smaller amount of them in at this time (supposedly the blue & red ones- thought the red was supposedly sold out & not being re-ordered), but may be getting more later on (most likely the blue again & possibly the maroon too)...

I've got 'em in a varitable rainbow assortment of all of the six options that were available...but for all of the rest of you on Team Wilco who missed the tour, or who went but found the merch stand didn't have these, or was sold out of them...

Here they are, the team Wilco "W" baseball hats are now available in a veritable psychedelic rainbow assortment of colors. 6 varieties were available- crimson, blue, red & black with white "W"...green with gold "W"...& black with orange "W".

I have the gold one, and also the same design on a bright orange shirt. Love 'em both. Wore the orange one yesterday!

Whoever is doing the merch and marketing is totally nailing it. Often when a new item is released, or an unusual concert idea announced (a festival in contemporary art gallery!), I often exclaim, “it’s like they know me”. Everything from coffee beans to frisbees to that hipster bike that was a prize in a competition a year or two ago – have all appealed, even if I haven’t purchased (or won) everything. Perhaps I’m not as unique as I thought. I am part of a demographic – but if you are going to be part of a demographic then, I’m proud to be part of the Wilco Demographic.

 

I gave a Jeff Tweedy guitar strap to my brother as a birthday present one year. It was a really personal and unique gift – which is not an easy thing to achieve. So that was really nice.

 

My framed Wilco print (the chuck taylor sneaker design) stands up as a piece of art, independent of the band and merchandise – loads of my wilco-denier friends think it’s great.

 

I’ve also worn my “hitchhiker” tee into the ground.

 

Man all this talk of merch is bringing out the consumer in me – I’ll be visiting the kung-fu web store tonight!

Well the Grounds Crew jacket is super awesome.. Too bad for me I've already got one of those jackets for Rickwood Field (Birmingham) as well as a plain one straight from Dickies.Can't really justify another coat at the moment, and not at 95 bucks. These jackets are super comfortable though and they take a beating and hold up well.. Now if Wilco can get EFF to make a real baseball cap, then I'm in.

For those who didn't act fast enough & had stuff sell out on them, or for those who couldn't make it this year, but might dig the designs...All sorts of Solid Sound 2013 Shirts & Posters are available now at the official Wilco Store website
http://wilco.kungfustore.com/
Well I missed the best parts of the Wilco Yard Sale at Solid Sound (got there late & grabbed some stuff for some friends is all)...and...I even gave away a few baseball hats to some friends camping with me...I was trying to exercise restraint & just bought the one too cool poster (Owl made of instruments)- that was so cool that it had me break my "I've already got 4 or 5 Wilco posters" pledge not to get anymore...
I LOVED the whole Solid Sound experience so much that, by the end, I kind of wished I'd picked up a shirt...or two...loved the "Entering Solid Sound" logo (got it on a sticker), & dug the poster (but not as much as the Owl/Instrument one), but really liked it on the long sleeve shirt, & the short sleeve one with the Wilco subway system "Solid Sound- One Fare" was real cool too...but they were both sold out by Sunday....happily, I was able to get one of each as they just popped up on the website...I may have missed the coffee mugs at the Wilco Yard Sale, but I now have two more shirts to add to my ever growing pile...great ones too...Viva Solid Sound!

Thanks for letting us know. I got the white long sleeve t-shirt. The quality is great (not sure yet how it handles a washing) but it runs a size too small small. I'm usually a medium and fortunately I tried it on right then and there and immediately exchanged it for a large.

Thanks for the tip there!! I just "double ordered"- meaning I've ordered in both L & XL (for both the long sleeve & the short sleeve subway shirt) & will send whatever doesn't fit back...

I wanna get the shirt with the sunloathe monster guy on it. That little guy is adorable.

 

I got the iphone case as a gift, and it's really nice. 

 

I think I might save and get a grounds crew jacket. How do those fit, size wise, for those of you that have them. I was looking at the size chart, and want to make sure i get the right fit.

Here's a little money saving hint...if you can, & if they last (which I bet they will), do what I did...

At the Holiday/Christmas season you can buy "gift certificates", which you get at 20% off ($50 for $40, or $100 for $80, etc.) AND there is usually a 20% off everything sale as well...sooooooo, added up, you get a whopping 40% off!!!!

I did this, but rather than just save, I used it to get both a L & an XL. The L fits perfect, like a glove & is great for warmer weather, & the XL gives me a chance to layer a little when it's colder. I'm about 5' 11" & 165 lbs., so you can try to figure from there for yourself...

Two thoughts:

1.  They should hire Hatch Show Print to do a poster for every tour.
2.  No matter who they are touring with (Zimmerman...), a Wilco t-shirt should not be $35.  That's Paul McCartney pricing, and even for him, it's ridiculous.

I agree. I'd bet one of those $35 t-shirts that they did not have a choice, though - can't sell a t-shirt for $25 when the main act is selling them for $35 or more.

You know, that's a good point.  MMJ's shirts were $35 as well.

Cam, email twig case about your case breaking. They'll replace it for $30. I'm gonna get mine replaced when I have the cash. Dropped it at work and a big chunk came out of the corner.
