Title: Melvins Shirts...
Post by: grays harbor mafia on September 08, 2008, 07:43:34 PM
So  these items are on ebay, don't know how legit they are i have attached a detaeld descript[tion from the seller...From the treasure chest comes yet another rare and unique item you will look otherwise high and lo to find... This item is a screen print of a classic design borrowed from some Jersey spook that was used as a t-shirt design and sold through Boner Records and the Melvins in the '90's. This 14"x16" black print is on white artist print material and was acquired from the artist for Boner's print portfoglio. The print is in Very Good conditon, there is a bit of a wave to the fabric, yet it is still quite suitable for framing or other multimedia applications. Quite a unique collectors item as this design has been out of print for many years. Ships Insured in a poster tube. Thanks for looking good and bidding!

Anybody Think they are legit??

Nothing legit about it.  Those aren't shirts, they're just reproduced designs of old Melvins shirts on 14 x 16 cloth.

i know they arent shirts.... they are the print used to make the screenprint shirts right?

I could give you better info if I was home and could compare them to the real shirts, but they look similar.  On the other hand, they aren't difficult designs, so they'd be really easy to copy.  I'd send the seller a message and just ask.  From looking at the description, I'd say your getting a good reproduction of a print that was used long ago.  In other words, they are not taken from the original design.  IMO.

i agree, they look rough around the edges like maybe
a negative was made by scanning in the shirts and
reversing it to screen print on the material shown.

I honestly wouldn't pay too much for them..unless you just really want them.  I've gotten similar things (on a thin board stock) before as record fillers/padding.  Maybe ask Tom Flynn about it?

Post by: cara on September 08, 2008, 11:25:53 PM
prints of those shirts (or at least the second) been sold on ebay before for cheaap. why not just buy a shirt in your desired color/size? it won't be legit but it seems a lot easier.

he has alot more of these, from various different melvins shirts, and the fiend clube one come with the screenprint for the back as well.  The guy has a BUNCH of  melvins stuff.    Im prying him as we speak to see what he has.  What other shirts did the melvins print during the boner records era?  anybody know? 
Title: Re: Melvins Shirts...
Post by: anaconda on September 10, 2008, 09:17:05 PM
they had the eggnog bunnys, the bullhead fruit basket, ozma lady's head,
and the shirt with the KISS typeface that was on the solo records.

the KISS lettering one could have been a bootleg;

one in the official t-shirt gallery. But, was this one an official Boner shirt?

if you're referring to the recent re-print available thru cinderblock, i'm not sure.
it has it listed as available in a variety of sizes, although it's on back-order now:
http://www.cinderblock.com/search-results-products.aspx?search=Melvins

I'm referring to the original version of the shirt available thru Boner years ago:

If official means 'having the Melvins involved', then I guess it was only offical when it was part of the Melvins Army. I ordered mine from that one website of which the address has now escaped my memory. I mean www.sickinc.com.

During the commentary on the Fantomas Melvins dvd there is a shot of some guy wearing the Kiss style Melvins shirt and Buzz says something like, "Hey he is wearing one of our shirts!  And it's a bootleg so we didn't get any money from it!"
Title: Re: Melvins Shirts...
Post by: FartLips on September 11, 2008, 06:57:37 AM
the melvins did at one point make the kiss shirts, so they were offical when they first appeared.

I smell BOOTLEG!

the best melvins shirt was the singles 1-12 shirt, with the red skull.


my buddy got that and he's a lucky bastard.

I want to make a decent bootleg melvins shirt eventually, I'll let you know, I probly wont sell them because I have too much respect for this band, but my friends all want melvins shirts, and they are hot items.

if I DID sell melvins shirts, it would be a charity thing and all the money raised would be given to the melvins in one form or another, weather it's cracker barrel gift certificates or WW2 memorabilia, or I just use the money I made to buy a box set or something...heh.

that does it, we need a poll for the best melvins shirt! (or has that been done?)

Can anyone say if the Kozik nun shirt was official or not, please?

(http://i925.photobucket.com/albums/ad93/AKV126C/Koziknunb-shirt.gif)

Official as far as I know, I ordered that shirt in the picture through that company Rockabilia back in 95 I think. The longsleeve has the Melvins printed down one of the sleeves, the nun is on the back. I haven't worn it in years, never been big on longsleeve t-shirts. I think I got that melvins shirt with the devil woman from rockabilia too back in the day, it says HELL on the back.

I had a short-sleeve version.  Wondering if it's in one of my many bins of old clothes in my basement....

I got the devil woman one when I saw them open for White Zombie in '95.  I know I still have that one.

Haha! That was an old post! It's in the shirt book, anyway, so that's a good sign. I have the long sleeve pictured and another printed onto a different coloured shirt (kind of marbled grey) that was supposed to have been sold at an art show curated by Kozik back whenever.

Incidentally, the shirts that aren't in the book:

Wizard of Oz
Honky (this was produced in Germany and had nothing to do with AmRep in MN)
Geek Show
2006 Tour Horriblis
See You In Hell
Skull & Crossbones (Essential Monsters)
The Clowns
Jack Johnson

Cool. I have the '06 Tour Horriblis, Geek Show '03, Triple Skull & Crossbones with the "M" & zebra on back(2010), & Jack Johnson. What was the 30th Anniv shirt? The one I bought on that tour was rabbit with gun - "Make It A Cheeseburger".

It's the red & white Nikes that get the most attention. People are always commenting on them. People who know nothing about Melvins but lots about Nikes, mostly. A lad in Newcastle NSW stopped and phoned his mates about them - wouldn't let me leave until he'd took a photo.

Women fawn over the Wizard of Oz shirt but I've not achieved sexual congress as a result of wearing a Melvins shirt yet.

I told this story a long long time ago but..... .kind of, yes.           I was at a show with the wife at a venue down the road.   I happened to be wearing my MEVLINS DOG SHIT 20th ANNIVERSARY shirt.      we had a family medical emergency and had to leave the show to go straight to the hospital.        my wife had some kind of "go out"y shirt on.    like a tank top or something as I recall.    she wanted to look a little less "go out"y at the hospital and was also cold so I gave her the MELVINS DOG SHIT shirt off my back.     I spent the rest of the evening in a jacket with no shirt underneath (hot look!!) and my wife in a shirt with a dog taking a shit.        I believe I did get laid that evening and for the purposes of this story I will assume it was because I gave her the specifically MELVINS shirt off my back.

Bootleggers ripping off Walsby and Charles. And they're domestic.  :shock:

Usually when people bootleg and rip off Melvins t-shirt designs that myself and Charles Joseph Cardello have worked on, it is some idiot overseas ripping one off. But these clowns are based out of New Jersey and have the balls to rip off two of the designs, all of which are not being made anymore. They also ripped off the Minutemen design we did as well.
So I have to say publicly on behalf of myself, Charles, the Minutemen and the Melvins themselves that these shirts that are being offered are not authorized by any of us, and you should stay away from them. Here is the link and here is the number in case you want to call them up and congratulate them on being really cool, and smart on top of all of that.  Their number is: 240-720-7940 .

that was quite obviously a red barn revival.   or yellow barn revival.  either way... cool shirt.  I have it in all black ink on a black shirt.   one of my personal favorites.

It's a good shirt because you can wear it to the white supremacists meetings AND the hipster meetings AND to the rock clubs.

I miss my Iron Eagle print shirt. Wore that fucker until it fell apart.

Anyone know if there is somewhere it can still be purchased? I've looked around, but can't find it anywhere.

Here's hoping one of the Experts might chime in and provide further details about this shirt, Conda would have known or at least given proper guidance. I'm not sure how to take it in right now going over some of his posts that he's truly gone.

...I guess It's a Boner shirt? but no idea of a date and especially Value, I'm certain it's genuine, rare and valuable as a collectors item. I'd like to know in your Experience what Dimension of Frame works best for a T-shirt, I would hate to see it be miscellaneously thrown back into wearable Circulation if something happened to me in the future. I feel like a hipster but it *Has* to be done with this shirt I'm afraid it's Going to only increase in value..er...I mean...*ahem* -It's a truly legitimate piece of the Groups Legacy.

A bunch of the vintage ones are getting reprints....I doubt they're legit but who cares....as long as we support Melvins through buying their music and going to shows I'm sure they'll forgive us buying a reprint shirt from some hustler for £20 rather than giving another hustler £500 for the exact same shirt in lame condition.

Example....

Seems that this thread has gone from its original topic to more of a general shirt thread.

I've had this shirt so long that I don't remember which show I bought it at. Either that or I went to so many shows back in the eighties when they were still a local band that it's all a blur.

Ozma era for sure. Only seen one other picture of the back design on this shirt on the front of another shirt.

Anyone know if this was a "tour" shirt or just something they printed up to hawk at the local shows?

Scenario: 55 year old with a miscellaneous collection of Melvins items collecting dust in his house.

               Has NO idea what the market value of said items are so decides to research the items so as not to get scammed by a flipper.

               Internet provides some clues on a few things but researcher wants to contact THE collectors. The ones who will appreciate said
               items

               Decides to go to THE source, MELVINS.net to ask around the die hard fans about said items.

                                               and, scene...

  So here I am. So what if I want to sell my collection of shit? I've had it for decades and it just sits in a box in my closet. The flyers are stacked in a folder and the vinyl never gets played. I just don't want to see it on eBay a week later, FFS. Just because you have never seen this design does not make it a bootleg. I bought it at a show here in Seattle or Tacoma and I don't remember when or which one. (Booze and weed will do that to your memory.)  If you don't want to help me out or get me in touch with someone who might know more about the history of this design then I'll just take my dust bunnies elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip Vince. Maybe the FB crowd is more helpful or keen to cherry picking a private collection.

Jim didn't print them but I'll keep asking around.

I was able to confirm from two people that this was sold at their shows in Seattle in 1989. I bought it either at the Central Tavern on July 22nd or more like the Hollywood Underground on July 24th.

I remember thinking it was cool that MELVINS were celebrating a 20 year anniversary.   like that was some big stink.   how many years ago was that now?   a million?


and yes i have that shirt.   I told this story before but I had that shirt on.. my wife had some other shirt on.. we were out somewhere or something.   and we had to suddenly go to the emergency room for someone in our family.    the shirt my wife had on was like sequin or something so she asked to wear my shirt.      so I gave her the dogshit shirt and went shirtless under maybe it was a leather jacket.

imagine how classy that looked.   a woman in a shirt with a dog mid-shit on it accompied by a "cool guy" with no shirt under his leather jacket.  8)

               Internet provides some clues on a few things but researcher wants to contact THE collectors. The ones who will appreciate said
               items

               Decides to go to THE source, MELVINS.net to ask around the die hard fans about said items.

                                               and, scene...

  So here I am. So what if I want to sell my collection of shit? I've had it for decades and it just sits in a box in my closet. The flyers are stacked in a folder and the vinyl never gets played. I just don't want to see it on eBay a week later, FFS. Just because you have never seen this design does not make it a bootleg. I bought it at a show here in Seattle or Tacoma and I don't remember when or which one. (Booze and weed will do that to your memory.)  If you don't want to help me out or get me in touch with someone who might know more about the history of this design then I'll just take my dust bunnies elsewhere.

Drue

Thanks for the tip Vince. Maybe the FB crowd is more helpful or keen to cherry picking a private collection.

Also check out the back of Dumpster D's GPT shirt. Same graphic.

             

I wonder if Calvin is wearing it backwards?

I remember thinking it was cool that MELVINS were celebrating a 20 year anniversary.   like that was some big stink.   how many years ago was that now?   a million?


and yes i have that shirt.   I told this story before but I had that shirt on.. my wife had some other shirt on.. we were out somewhere or something.   and we had to suddenly go to the emergency room for someone in our family.    the shirt my wife had on was like sequin or something so she asked to wear my shirt.      so I gave her the dogshit shirt and went shirtless under maybe it was a leather jacket.

imagine how classy that looked.   a woman in a shirt with a dog mid-shit on it accompied by a "cool guy" with no shirt under his leather jacket.  8)

not extra classy but ultra classy

Just had a nice chat with Tom Flynn and he confirmed that his roommate, Jeff 'smelly' Griffin made these shirts. Jeff was a roadie during the 1989 Ozma tour and didn't make very many of them. These are also somewhat of a one of a kind shirt in that the way he made them no two were, or could be identical. He also made the FUCK MELVINS shirts for the 1990 tour.

PS.

Anyone else seen a Yellow GPT Bootleg T-shirt on evilbay lately that looks like a copy of mine..Someone totally saw the shirt I posted here, and immediately produced some bootlegs probably based on my photos.

I doubt these Yellow GPT bootleg T-shirts have the 'Melvins' in Red on the back...Also, the front print of the original has white outlines and highlights, whereas the bootleg is just plain black print.

I'm certain there's Lurkers here doing some recon.


Either way, AMbloch...Just a thought, but I think your T-shirt deserves to be framed, otherwise it'll probably get worn out by someone who might decide it's just a worthless rag.

The dude who had my original Melvins shirt bought it at a thrift store for like 4 bucks and thought it was like some kind of toy company based on the GPT design.

It's in a frame right now, same with my original MC5 shirt.

Think they'd ever do a 12" linocut reissue and cheapy CD of Tora Tora Tora? One of my favorite live albums ever. It's simultaneously in that weird genre of disaster live albums and also in the category of amazing live albums. The original packaging is to die for (so glad I finally snagged one) but overall the art from that release would lend itself really well to both the linocut and letterpress styles.

Hanging out with a friend in Kingston the other day. Friend has no idea about music whatsoever.

I wore a Melvins shirt, and explained NOBODY EVER in our small town has ever noticed my Melvins shirt in 20 years, but when I'm downtown Toronto I get a few comments and thumbs up etc. from people off the street for wearing one.


We had parked and just crossed the road, making our way down a side street. No sooner as we're halfway down the block, a random dude sitting out on the patio of a local pub gives me an ALRIGHT!! 'MELVINS!!!' Thumbs up, right on!! comment!! as I passed him.

"Cheers" I said.

I love it when that happens. I had a guy at a grocery store freak out when I was wearing a Redd Kross shirt (He played in the band Jellyfish?). I was at Disneyland in July and saw a guy in a Butthole Surfers Locust Abortion shirt - I was surpised and gave him a Fuck Yeah!

At breakfast a week ago wearing a HAT tee. Older boomer couple sat down next to us and engaged in convo. They were both from Morton, the wife used to babysit "Buzzy," and are friends with the whole Osborne clan. My mom, whom I was having breakfast with asked what he was like as a kid. "Pretty normal, liked sports.....but always had the 'fro."

as an owner of roughly 15 to 20 MELVINS shirts I sometimes wonder where exactly the last laugh lies.

PS:  the above is not the greatest MELVINS shirt ever.  the greatest MELVINS shirt ever is the one with the pink skull+crossbones that says "MELVINS RULE - YOU DO NOT".

I own it.

a ha..  a ha ha ha...

I can't seem to find an image sharing site that works for me anymore (any suggestions?) but..

it was a simple single color Mackie art foetus in the womb.  the womb was a fireball.  says "melvins  burn baby, burn".

I've seen varying prints.  mine was 1/4 scale design all red ink centered on a white shirt.      god I loved that thing.

a close second was a similar single color extrememly rudimentary Mackie skelton with "MELVINS" as basically the hair of the skeleton.   red ink - white shirt.

I'm a sucker for the shirts that look like they were made in someone's Buzz's basement.

There's an Ebay seller who seems to be making bootleg Melvins T's.

He's got the Melvins 'Beef' 2000 Tour shirt, but it only shows the front and not the print that was on the back and the image he's using is clearly of an original T-shirt and that looks like he just stole the image from someone else's listing, so he's probably buying the original vintage shirts for $$$ and then copying them to some degree, or it's completely bogus.



I really want to know if it's worth buying, as I love my original shirt but can't bring myself to wear it out any further as I have now retired it and need a clone or copy to enjoy regular wear.

I'm wondering if this is legit even, or a scam maybe?

There's an Ebay seller who seems to be making bootleg Melvins T's.

He's got the Melvins 'Beef' 2000 Tour shirt, but it only shows the front and not the print that was on the back and the image he's using is clearly of an original T-shirt and that looks like he just stole the image from someone else's listing, so he's probably buying the original vintage shirts for $$$ and then copying them to some degree, or it's completely bogus.

The shirt picture he's using was taken from another auction by ichibanfinds, check out how he photoshopped out the tag in the picture. That said, you'll probably get a shirt with a similar design, on a Gildan shirt. He really should just use a picture of the actual shirt he's selling.

Bootleggers of merch make generally me sick.

Only thing I can think of where I might consider it OK is if there was like some bullshit legal reason the artist can't sell their own, such as it's a play on a trademark and was sent an injunction that I morally object to. If you really want a shirt that you can't have any more make your own. But don't commercially support bootleggers. If that seems like "too much work" or it's "too expensive" that's still no excuse to pay someone to steal from your idol.

Post by: Dumpster D on December 26, 2023, 03:38:30 PM
 I'm not gonna buy from that seller.

At this point if I really want one *That* bad, I'll have to hand screen print my own, using my original shirt, done and done.

Tempted because I love my original Melvins T-shirt so much I want another one I can still wear out, no worries. That shirt was something I got on my 16th birthday at the Toronto show, it's sentimental.

For years I've been thinking about finding a T-shirt company that would make me a 'one-off' clone copy of my original vintage shirts in general, as some of the shirts in my collection are too worn, valuable/rare or vintage to actually make them wearable anymore. My friend had the singles 1-12 Amrep skull T, it was red print, and awesome, and I wanted a copy of it somehow, and we were trying to find a place that would make a one-off copy or something. It's just something that always seemed like more time and money than it's worth.

So now that some of these original shirts are selling for asshole money online...The idea of making reproduction copies might actually put a stop to that ridiculousness, yet I don't really want to support sketchy bootleggers either.

There are a few places online that will make one-offs, for personal use.

Shirt prices for old band shirts have gone insane within the last few years. Certain collectors seem willing to pay crazy prices, I'm curious what caused it.  Lots of predator collectors on Facebook, as well. For example. They'll post something like 'post pictures of your old favorite band shirts!' And the people that do, will get friend requests + direct messages, saying 'let me know what you have, I'll buy it!' And no surprise, they'll get lowball offers, hoping the people don't realize what they have.

Post by: Dumpster D on December 26, 2023, 05:23:31 PM
Apologies in advance for this off-kilter rant.

Talk about bootlegger scum, how about insane thrift store flipper scumminess?


Put it this way, I've been a religious value village goer since the brown album came out.


Ebay prices are destabilizing thrift store prices, also because of the astronomical shipping rates and too many people trying to get more than retail value for their second hand schlock.

VHS tapes are a good example, if you look at sealed VHS on Ebay.

I'm not an online flipper, but more and more I go to thrift stores, the more I see this happening.

There are now apps being used for people to ID items and instantly find their value. I've always flown by the seat of my pants when I see an item that looks pretty good and just have a gut feeling to pick it up.

Value Village and Talize (Which is a relatively new chain of 'thrift stores') Seem to be switching management and ownership ( I suspect Wal-mart) The logistics supply chain has also been diverted from private estate liquidations, and more towards retail outlets who are flushing old inventory to make way for new stock. The Value village prices reflect this as well. They are now trying for at least %60 retail value on items.

They were asking $29.99 for a VHS copy of 'Return of the living dead' with NO cover!!! Last time I was at Talize, and you know they got it too. I went home and looked it up online, sure enough, sealed 'first pressing' copies are reaching over $1000 USD on ebay sometimes. I'm not giving you more than $2.99 for a 40 year old fucked up video tape.


Same with a vintage portable radio at Talize last week, someone else had removed the price sticker where you could still make out that it was like $40 or so...I tried to bring it up and the girl rang it up and it was going to be a whopping 56.99 total, I said NO WAY...NOOO way, sorry, but you can keep it..NO batteries, no power cord, no way to test it...I used to get those for under $9.99..sometimes $4.99. So then, WHY...WHY WHY is the price gouging happening? They're paying employees to use iphones to look shit up online, it's the only thing that makes sense. Don't get me started about the tiredness of old electronic components either, 50 year old capacitors? They *WILL* Fail.

Every once in awhile a little elf in the back room slips up and a good quality item gets passed through with a good bargain price, but as a gambler myself, it's become too dicey and the stakes are too high now with the cost of Gas.

I can't always count on stupidity.

They moved the aisles too close together now, which is a psychological move to make people want to just grab their shit and get the hell out of there before coming to their senses about all the useless crap they are stuffing into their carts. Too many flippers, too many online flippers overstuffing their shopping carts.

I'm honestly ready for 'full-contact' thrift store shopping the way people are clogging up the narrow isles too, you better believe it.

'EXCUSE ME PLEASE' ...Hot stuff coming through.  :)

Anyway, T-shirt prices in the thrift stores are insane now, like 11.99 CDN for a T-shirt, and I've held up a wool sweater against a T-shirt and the sweater was like 8.99, so the value is all out of skew.

Today I saw a long sleeve T-shirt with a Button up V-neck that I liked, it was 14.95. I said out loud, OK I'M DONE. and walked out. At best it's worth 4.95...maybe...MAYBE. Especially to what is a by donation %100 profit organization.

I'm not gonna start about the poly material everything's now made of either, cheap crap that isn't hardly bio-degradable...Save the planet eh? I always hear the value village commercial announcement that says something like 'by shopping at ---- you help save millions of tons of clothing from going into the landfills each year' ...and I just shake my head, you know?

And ANOTHER thing, I definitely see scrotey looking employees bringing stuff out from the back rooms and CLEAR as day you can see their buddies waiting in the isles to pick the good stuff up, because they got the Text message tip-off.

I promise you, there's an inside network happening.

Shirt prices for old band shirts have gone insane within the last few years.

Believe me, I thought about cashing-in a few times...What with the Original TOOL and NIRVANA Shirts in my stash man...but something inside me just says no. Shit ain't right.  :lol:

I'll add this much more to it... That I sometimes will deal with a vintage clothes picker who makes a house-call and will buy a lot of vintage clothes from my personal collection. They got wise and now all of a sudden, they're after my T-shirts...Like you would not believe...They would clean out my closet if given half a chance, but those you cannot, nor shall not have.

I've never sold any of my T-shirts, all my cool wool flannel Jackets are gone now, all my amazing vintage Jeans and Bellbottoms etc. gone gone...but the 70's T-shirts and the ringer T's no way, not ever.

I have an original 70's era MC5 ringer T-shirt, you know? Stuff like that.

They have been bugging me now for several years to get me to let go of my vintage T-shirts, and I've repeatedly had to tell them no, sorry, not for sale, you can't have them.

They simply can't and won't give me what I know they're worth, and they're just too rare and hard to find anymore at any price.

Post by: Dumpster D on December 27, 2023, 04:07:56 PM
Also, I stand corrected...No one has bought that fucked up VHS copy of 'Return of the living dead' at the thrift store for $29.99 (with no cover) yet.  :cheers:

Hope someone just throws it into the bin with all the 'used blank' cassettes they have been tossing out for decades.

Bassist morgue(From L to R): Lukin, Lorax, Joe, Mark D., Rutmanis

I remember this was a topic when the shirt came out, and it seemed to make the most sense. The cool thing then was there was no social media, and the Melvins just put out the shirt for a tour and didn't have to explain anything. The little artist writeups on Bifocal/Shoxop are cool whenever a new shirt comes out, but I liked the mystery back in the day.

Shit stains in my gaddammm underpants. Something smells.

That's basically $250 CDN for the hoodie...PLUS Shipping, PLUS Import/duties....so I'm gonna say probably around Three and a quarter more or less? ...Probably maybe more, I don't know.

That's fucked, people have that kind of money?

Or is it gonna be mostly the flippers who grabbed up all this merch and gonna sell it now back for 10 times retail.

Anyway...

Dumpster curses you, and all your kind.

I'll print my own GPT orange hooded sweatshirt....It will be a lot cheaper, plug my butt and bend my knob if you want to....but I'll never buy that kind of overpriced schlock.

no matter how cool or how much cred I can hijack while wearing that stuff.

Jesus, I have an NM white original Bullhead shirt(just like on the merch table in the Salad Of 1000 Delights DVD), bought from Boner Records around 20 yrs ago, with a money order sent to Tom Flynn in a stamped envelope.
So if I were to put it on Ebay, I should take no less than $200 for it? :lol:

Fuck bootlegs.

Official merch, Sharpie-on-a-blank, or nothing.

That's totally what I was thinking, wow.

Conda's incredibly extensive knowledge on Melvins trivia, that still astounds me.

Did the Melvins/Sabbath shirt ever get done @ Bifocal as a standard black tee? If it did, I missed it.
 Not really a fan of these "work" shirts. Over priced, and not my style. Who does actual work in a shirt this style? Any sort of physical work/labor I do, I'm always wearing a T-shirt :lol: .
