During the Geek Show Tour Essential Monsters made some limited edition Melvins swag. There were t-shirts, some paper wieghts, etc.
If you visit their web site there is links to the Melvins and Buzz and Mackie Osborne are listed also.
The Octopus t-shirt from the last tour looks like it is an Essential Monsters design.
Anyway I was wondering if anyone bought any of the limited edition Melvins stuff Essential Monsters made.
I saw them selling stuff at the Seattle Showbox on 05/05/03, Geek Show tour.
Could you post some pictures if you purchased anything?
Essential Monsters web site:

Also check out the EM myspace page, you can find that under the links section.
The EM on the back of my Octopus shirt was bugging me for what it stood for.
I don't have any of that merch, but I think I remember seeing those designs on some mumus. Do I remember correctly?

nothing against these designs, I own the octopus shirt and like it.
but here's to hoping MELVINS use their own designs or something by Mackie for the next set of tour merch.
I like my cheap-ass looking red skeleton MELVINS shirt better that I bought on the same tour for about 50% less money.
i got the skull and crossbones too.

Can anyone shed light on this shirt? How many were made, how much they were and and in what sizes, for instance?

This has a hand-stitched patch on the back. This is awesome.
I wish I could....I only own the octopus shirt. Those others I've never seen before.
There were a few made, but there really wasn't many. They're like hen, and their pesky teeth.

Silver and white. That's cool.

Nice, I might buy it at some point. This was my first Melvins shirt I bought together with the pink octopus on black design in 2007. I think the pink octopus design is also from Essential Monsters.
