Why can't their get their shit together?

Lots of cool new stuff. Looks like the prices have been jacked up a bit, too. $100 for the SOTT sweatshirt?

Just got my order today that was supposed to have been delivered in June, so keep that in mind if you're expecting it soon. Hopefully, they're sorting that out.

I love the 1999 hoodie expensive,but I may have to get it anyway

There's some really nice stuff there. I love that SOTT sweatshirt, but no can do that $99 price tag for a sweatshirt! Not only that but I am too old to wear that particular sweatshirt

Love the new shirts. Will have to put them on my Christmas list!!

I like the Sign of the Times shirt.

I love the Sign O' The Time sweatshirt. Will definitely buy one when they go on sale.

You can get 20% off if you join the mailing list. The website says it's 10%, but you they give you 20% off code. Fine, take my money.

Interesting they have a ‘PRODUCT IDEAS & FEEDBACK?’ option asking us to ‘Tell us what you'd like to see’. Might have to add quite a few suggestions.

Where?? I don't see it.

never mind I found it

I think I'm more inclined to incorporate aspects of Prince's style into my own fashion sense (color blocking, accessories, buttons) I've got a lot of articles of clothing inspired by stuff he wore over the decades. But I make it my own. People don't think "Hey he's dressed like Prince!" they just see me looking fresh.

Wearing clothes with his image or name on it seems less effective.

High fashion is where my money goes, not $100 sweatshirts.

Did you see they're selling cassettes. Wow!

Does anybody know how the mens t-shirts run? (Normal, trim/tight, big etc.)

Do they post to the UK?

Prince spoke about that 5.1 mix of TRC once. I would like to see that released.

That parade shirt is pretty neat!!! And the anthology sweater looks really comfortable. It's too bad that everything is so expensive, or else I'd be finding a way to order all of it right about now

Mine just offered 10%. Love the SOTT sweatshirt. Like the peace vest top as well. Sadly right now though I can't afford them. Might ask Santa nicely

SOTTs tour t-shirt! Now I can lie and say I went... ...hey! I would've if he toured the states!

^ I agree, that SOTT tour shirt looks very cool.
Just wished they had used the correct colors, because everyone knows that Peach and Black were the hues for that tour. Looks like they based the design on a bootleg postcard design from the early 90s which substituted a reddish color instead of the appropriate peach. (I still have the postcard)

Also noticed a few spelling errors on the backside with the locations.

But overall it's a nice attempt at something new and cool.

I want the women's Purple Rain flowers top baaaaaaaad. But I won't buy it unless they post a size chart. I sent them an email requesting one - we'll see what happens.

Though I suppose I could always buy the largest size of the unisex tee and just use it as fabric to make my own top. That's what I did with the NC2U tee...

UK shipping for a t-shirt, not as terribly overpriced as some of Prince's previous web sales endeavours.

Very exciting to see the multi-coloured Lovesexy '88 logo as a T shirt and mug. I wore out my old T shirt from the original tour and was always hoping it might come back... and unlike SOTT this looks exactly like the original

No they shouldn't. It was a limited edition release. I'll want my money back if they do!

A size chart is SO essential for women, isn't it! With real measurements, not just sizes because they aren't uniform like in the olden dayze... The "pit to pit" measurement is the most essential for me.

i'd love to see some Prince Pens. maybe with song lyrics scrolling around the pen, or snowglobe style glitter pens, or one of those floating princes that go up and down when one tilts the pen

While you're at it--why not a nice snowglobe music box--A REALLY nice one like the one I got for "Phantom of the Opera" years ago--like a prince symbol, a candle, and a music scroll like the one I have (minus the Prince symbol) for POTO. It really is nice, not cheesy.

That Purple Rain cassette tho!

how about a Prince doll with a nodding head to put on my car dash board (along side my waving Quenn Elizabeth and Einstein) all groovin to the funk

rdhull said:

You mean you don't already have it? Sheeeit! If I had an extra copy I'd send it to you.

Plan to upgrade vinyl singles. Need to go through and see where I need. Seems like a good deal if can get % off.

This sounds promising:

"Prince wrote hundreds of songs in his lifetime and released dozens of albums, ranging from studio recordings to live albums, compilations and collaborations with his many affiliated groups and protegés. The store selection will continually evolve with new and out-of-print titles added upon release."

I think it's really weird they've become a bit fashionable again. My first music was purchased on cassette back in 1989. My inventory tells me I have 44 Prince cassettes, but I think there are a few others I have that somehow aren't in the list, like "The War".

I don't think so. I'm away from home for the next few weeks and can't check, but most of the cassettes I own are the garden variety standard that was available in the late 80s/early 90s.

That makes me think, they should release a limited edition exact fac simile of the cassette they found Piano & A Microphone 83 on, with the handwritten label and all. Instant collector's item!!

Before this snowballs any further, let me just state that I was joking about beign excited that they had cassettes.

Sort of like a Guardians Of The Galaxy

If they release all the stuff never released on HDTracks I will buy it. I like this idea.

I'd really like to order a couple of t-shirts but the last one that came (size medium) ran really small (the one from the Nothing Compares 2 U package). The offical Prince T, I got from Hot Topic (also a medium) ran large. Returns are such a pain. If anyone could provide insight as to how this batch of shirts run, that'd be great.

I really do like the Anthology shirt in black- looks classy & with a little lower price tag!!

People still buy cassettes? That's old skool for ya.

Latin said:

Has anyone purchased a sweatshirt from the store? I am wondering about the size charts. It says unisex sizing but uh......what does that mean? There's a definite difference between a woman's medium size and a men's medium size in the real world Anyone have an answer?

kygermo said:

Awesome to see the Lovesexy 88 shirt reprinted. I couldn't tell you how many times I seriously contemplated dropping the 2 Benjamins I normally saw it go for on eBay. Even though it's still pretty steep for a t-shirt, I'll pony up and pay the 40 for it since that shirt in particular is probably my favorite Prince shirt of all time. And believe me, I've owned quite a few P shirts over the years. Man, why didn't he take the merchandising side of things more seriously while he was still here? He's got some of the coolest retro merch stuff, he could have made a serious mint. [Edited 9/30/18 21:40pm]

So true. This store could have been started whilst he was still with us.

Saw a nice white 1999 hoodie for $80 at Urban Outfitters, Downtown Manhattan. Fella said certain stores have certain items, couldn't find anything online. They also had a long-sleeved 1999 tee, Prince tags on the clothes.

Those hoodies and t's at UO are cheap and tacky as hell. The prints on them look bootleg.

I thought so too, especially the coloring but they were displaying them prominently which was nice.

Yeah the display was cool...but that hoodie was like $80. Eff that. Really yall, that 1999 band cover sleeve pic and the solo window moon and sun pic was lifted off some poor pixeled computer pic.

I'm a guy who cant decide between S or M size... i'm kinda petite with 1.68cm and 55kg, but i got some S hoodies who are small. I need to try it first!

No V-neck T-shirts?
Outrageous.

KingSausage said:

I'd rather go with a high-res right-clicked downloaded-as-file stolen pic and make the T-shirt myself on Zazzle.
Because that just seems to be the case here. Apart from the impeccable Laura LiPuma typos, everything has no art direction whatsoever, the IIWYG chair shot being the most atrocious example. I care little for the eighties revival, but this is ugly.
Especially considering how much attention Prince paid to his clothing.

They still don't get it, don't they. We'd gladly spend a fortune if the product was the reflect of Prince.
This is wasting tons of water producing this color-blind test shit. Save the planet, our eyes, and Prince's spirit, please.

It would b strange 2 see dedicated Prince's fanbase attached 2 something as apparel merchandise. I dont have nothing against, but now when everybody can get/have it... where is the charm? Prince's absence was his presence, but its hard 2 elaborate that in this times... Back in 2013, i was looking up ebay trying 2 find some Prince T-shirts, and everything was tagged as 'vintage'... there was one particular model from 1st half of the 90s but pricey... so i gave up. I doubt that i will ever buy offical merch... Paisley Park is however in my heart!

But everybody can't get it, which is part of the allure. The ugly Urban Outfitters 1999 pieces for example are only in select stores.

.

I like merch and apparel especially now because you get to represent! Show and prove you are a 'true funk soldier' by making your way in the world rocking some funky duds.

.

I have an HnR t-shirt and Purple Rain t that have been cut sleeveless and are super comfy/go with anything really and were a hit at the summer festivals this year. I also have an NPG hoodie "celebrating Prince" and a black t with his face on it that I love to wear and always get a reaction.

.

If diehard fans don't rep, how can we expect a novice/newbie fan to? Also, kids that weren't even alive when Bob Marley was, for example, wear a lot of his merch items and spread his music. Same with 2Pac and even Elvis.

Signed Watchtowers?

Makes me want to order them just to add to my collection. Doubt I’d listen to them though even if my car (2001 Audi) has a tape player. I think the first Prince album I owned on cassette was the Parade album.

I have seen new, sealed cassettes for sale in both Sam records and Urban barn, of even new releases like the Love Simon and Guardians of the Galaxy soundtracks. Must be a niche collectible.

Something's are still missing. Somethings should npt had been added at all.

Polyvinyl acetate is what keeps my monkey high.

I wish they had a replica version of his blinged out canes available. I LOVED THEM!

I dunno, the canes? I find them too connected to Prince's physical pains.
They're gorgeous for sure.

can't wait to get my stuff.

EmmaMcG said:

20 dollars for a mug. 99 dollars for a sweatshirt. Nice to see that they haven't lost touch with the common man.

And yet it is probably all made on the cheap in China.

.

They wonder why the fans are not happy with the estate. No mug is worth $20 unless there is $18 in coins on it that can be removed.

I really like the Sign o the Times sweatshirt, the Parade T- Shirt and the NPG Mug.

Out of curiousity, the Estate store stuff goes to fund what exactly? This is not a question to stirrup anything, I honestly want to know. So much stuff has been going in so many different directions I'm just trying to keep it straight. Who's doing what for what.

would Prince want all this ?

ask yourself...

Well, real gold and real diamonds would turn this item into a product only a Kardashian or some Saudi Prince could afford. Now I know that Prince played for a russian oligarch, but I'm quite sure it was a Robin Hood operation (stealing a million for charities while having a good jam time).

A cane is a fine looking object, until it has real purpose in life. They may look like a fashion statements, but we know they were actual back pain relievers. One could question the inelegance of selling these given the Prince's medical history. But in the age of Trump, who fucking cares? Everything is for sale, including accessory stuff like memory or decency. Especially decency.

I fear for the future of PPS, I oh so wanted it to become a school for the arts.
It's not, and like Elvis, Prince is going to slowly slip into oblivion
if all that matters is collectibles, visit tickets or the annual concert.
