I know you guys are metal heads so i'm wondering if you could chime in and give me some sense of the quality of the t-shirts from Earache Records. I was thinking of nabbing the Entombed Trust tee and maybe the Earache logo tee. The Earache site doesn't give any product details such as the type of shirt used or if their stuff is screenprinted. I'm assuming they're screenprinted but I have no clue which blanks they use for all their stuff. Any ideas? Been eyeing a bunch of other metal shirts from indiemerch.com but I don't wear graphic tees much these days, although, i'm lusting after the King Diamond Fatal Portrait tee

I own some Vektor and Napalm Death Shirts from earache. Their printed on Gildan Heavy Cotton (at least not softstyle, but also not premium or Ultra Cotton). But I must say, the print on all of them is outstanding and among the best I've seen. Super thick screenprint that doesn't crack or wear thin easily. If this applies to their other (coloured) stuff (my Shirts are all black and White) as well - go for it! And you can't go wrong with the King, of course.

Thanks, that helps. I'm conflicted. I like the Entombed Trust tee but think it should actually say, "You Can Only Trust Yourself and the First Two Entombed Albums."
I think Left Hand Path and Clandestine put them on the map and when Wolverine Blues rolled around they were obviously lured into the mainstream and changed their sound. -
@gaseousclay I would have adviced to look for fullmoonshops Left Hand Patch Longsleeve but I missed the Preorder myself and now they're gone (unless you're an S : https://fullmoonshop.bigcartel.com/product/pre-order-entombed-left-hand-path-longsleeve)
Instead I might get the Kings of Metal LS

Interesting. The Earache store has the Left Hand Path and Clandestine short sleeve and long sleeve shirts up for sale, but they're print on demand which i'm not a fan of. https://uswebstore.earache.com/entombed

@gaseousclay interesting. I guess I Need to check it out, but think that I prefer screenprint.

I prefer screenprint as well because it's the industry standard and will hold up better through repeated washes. I know Earache is doing print on demand so they're not sitting on inventory, which I get, but it also takes 2-3 weeks just to get the shirt.

can someone explain sonder supplies to me?
is it an extension of your business (not iron heart) that's meant to seperate other brands that you choose to carry or is it totally different and run, owned and operated by someone else?

I'm assuming it's an extension of the business to carry 3rd party goods, especially since it has its own sub-forum.

It's run by us, Is owned by us, and is a vehicle to sell stuff that we personally really like that may or may not sit 100% comfortably on the Iron Heart website…...

@gaseousclay sorry for the late response dude. I've bought a couple of tshirts from Earache but not for a good few years. I had Morbid Angel and Entombed shirts and they were Gildan soft style. The sizing was erratic, large being too small and x large being to big and flared.
As for print, the quality is exceptional. I haven't bought a band t-shirt for sometime now, the last one was an Incantation shirt fro. Relapse. That was exceptional quality… And I'm going to see them live on Saturday, so no doubt I'll buy a shirt then!
