Just a guess but doesn't he profit more from it being sold on tour rather than put it up online? People will find out and then buy them moar on tour! Then again, he'd profit more if he sold them both places. I suck at debating.

I actually don't know how any of that works. I'm not sure who is even in charge of making tour merchandise. The label? I have no clue. I just know that I can't see Devin on tour, but I really enjoy his music and I want to say thanks by buying shit. lol

I would've bought one if they made women's clothes in men's sizes...
At least the crayons have kept me occupied in the meantime

Not totally related, but! Bands make a tasty bit of money on merch, because the label doesn't get much of a touch on it, if any at all. In fact, labels are trying to make it so that when you sign a deal, they get a cut of your merchandise profits. This is both good and bad for bands, and not something I'll go into because it's loads to talk about. But now you know! Buy merch!

Yeah, I wasn't sure if the labels were completely uninvolved, or if they had their hands in it, but just in a minor way, allowing the artist to retain more profit.

I just don't have the curves for it. It would look better stuffed over a rock.

I'm pretty sure what is in the store currently is just leftover stuff from the previous tour. That means those of us in the XL-XXL range probably won't have a lot to choose from, as they tend to sell out of those sizes pretty fast at shows. A lot of big people in this world like metal. A lot of people like over-sized and baggy stuff, too.
