The shows seem to be the place to get them at the moment. They used to sell mercahandise on this site but they haven't for a while. I think CC Baxter the moderator said recently they might start selling them again. Or you could try ebay. You should be ok getting your size. Good luck.

i have had this random idea lately that I have been tossing around in my head.  its called a indie rock tshirt exchange.....

here is the problem, many bands do not have a fully functional ecommerce website that allows people to get tshirts from their favorite band, or if they do it has the same shirts that have been mass produced....nothing that is tour specific.  the boring old ones that everyone has.  some of these generic ones even get sold on ebay.  you dont want the old crappy shirt, you want the new cool design.

for example, I recently saw death cab for cutie (no, i am not from the OC), and they had several shirts that they havent had on their website.....

and bright eyes and MMJ are both touring in seperate parts of the country....and both of them have tshirts, that I would want, but Bright eyes is not coming to Dallas at this time...

so who is to say that someone that just saw the Death Cab show might want a Bright Eyes tshirt?

so one person would buy the bright eyes, and another would buy the dcfc, and they could exchange them, hopefully for no money, kinda like tape trading.

sure postage could be covered, and payment could be done by paypal. and there would be a website to initate this trade.

how does that sound, like an interesting idea?

as a backup i guess one could by a shirt at the show and sell it on ebay, but that would involve fees and such, and profiting.

to make my point, I am thinking of doing something this week about it.  check back later in the week if to see if I put my money where my mouth is.

one more thought....much like tape trading, usually the jam band thinks thru the distribution of these types of things.

does anyone know if the jam bands have figure out a way to trade merchandise?

sure there is the parking lot and burritos, but what about online or for folks stretched across the nation.

hey guys, as some of you have already noticed we have the merchandise page back online. sorry it took a little longer than expected to get it all up and running, thanks for your patience!
 
there are two brand new on-line-only designs and a mmj-z-cover design which is pending for now but should be available soon. i'm sure the page will be updated as time goes by but for now you can at least start wearing the jacket.
 
if you have any questions, please read the 'Questions & Answers' page or use the 'Email Your Order Questions' link on the bottom of the merch page  
 
happy thanksgiving!!!
