i never said it was inline, i said the market will dictate what sells based on other sites that are popular performance related they are in the middle.. skips good quality thick shirts were 65 bucks.

Personally I used to buy a lot of merchandise from cigarette. I bought everything off the old website including magazines, coolers, lanyards, hats, and liscense plate holders. They made great Christmas gifts too. Probably spent several thousand dollars over the years on merch. It might be a drop in the bucket…but sales are sales. Anyways it’s unfortunate because I don’t see myself paying $80-100 for a shirt or $90 on a hat. Kinda sucks…but it is what it is.

I see where they are going. Im sorry guys but the times are changing and Cigarette is changing with it. How else are they going to get this younger generation interested in the sport. They dont think the way we do. They have a totally different logic. I do see the younger generation in love with horse power. I see it every day. Not everyone drives a Tesla or wants to. If you dont want to drink the cool aid then dont. The direction Cig is going may be a home run.... Just saying. I get it...

exactly, just because its not ones "taste" doesnt mean it wont sell. i had a well known guy on here who worked at cig years back send me a pm because i bought a cig neon light from an outside vendor. he was kind of a Dick about it too.. he asked why i didn't buy from them, i said i didn't see it on the site, he said well its not listed.. well wtf? how am i supposed to know that??

lots of new money out there, I hope it works and the brand lives on, but for me it isnt about the quality of the shirts, its the quality of the boats. that has yet to be seen.. ill hope they succeed, but if they dont I'll know why.

Im sure they will sell some, but I don’t see clothes flying off the shelf. Cigarette under skip had trouble selling thru product even when t-shirts were $20-40…often times there were sales and clearances to move merchandise. we aren’t talking about stainless steel rolex sport watches or birkin hand bags.

which brings the next question and you answered it, why are rolexes so expensive, its just a watch? or a birkin handbag, just a holder for tampons and lipstick?

I just paid $140 for a Psycho Bunny hoodie but would I pay that for a Donzi hoodie? Probably not and I'm not sure why...

What's their shipping rate now? I think before it was like $20 to ship a key floaty.
