anniemouse Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Out of curiousity who were the principle clothes designers for Led Zepellin. Looked at the prices as was shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reids Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Doesn’t look much like anything JP or the other members would wear, overpriced and doesn’t represent the mystery of Led Zeppelin either. I’ll pass. Still waiting for more official live releases. R😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rm2551 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Jeepers... $160 for a t-shirt?!?!?!?! you're joking, right? But looking at the merch Zep page, the Led Zep II orange hoodie for just under $80 is nice... Edited October 29, 2019 by rm2551 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeaceFrogYum Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Jesus Christ, has Jimmy been mentored by Gene Simmons??? What's next, action figures? Pajamas? Official Zeppelin condoms?

The Only Way To Fly Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Pass - I like to wear high quality clothing but these are stupid high prices. Like a lot of you I wish JP would have invested the money into new recordings/releases. I'm guessing merch has a higher ROI? Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy has done some things with Varvatos before as well. Varvatos' designer clothing and accessories is in a higher price range and not meant for everyone. I don't think I'd afford it either but doesn't the band shouldn't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago Led Zeppelin really used to mean something, in the same way that Harley-Davidson meant something. Some of Led Zeppelin's licensing in the 1980s was a bit iffy but the integrity of the "brand" has long since been fully diluted. Snowboards, coozies, faux tour t-shirts, scarves, spoken word poetry albums. One may as well start collecting Kiss at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To some extent I agree but I'd rather have them doing designer merchandise than that cartoony 'hammer of the gods' junk in the 1980s. That was the worst. What we want as fans is audio/video LIVE CONCERT RELEASES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverseas Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Not my style at all, but the prices are actually not bad at all. I’ve several pairs of Alden and Viberg shoes/boots and quality costs. I think most people are used to buying Chinese made slave labor trash (whether they know it or not) and that’s how they base cost/value. High quality shoes and clothing made in Europe and the USA are not cheap by any stretch. What the USA does make is crappy cars and motorcycles. Lol.

High quality shoes and clothing made in Europe and the USA are not cheap by any stretch. What the USA does make is crappy cars and motorcycles. Lol. Sorry but no bueno. My mother used to be a buyer for Saks and I know exactly how much "high end" clothes cost to make vs. retail price. On average your "high end" American or European made sweater for instance, made from cashmere, costs Saks about $60 per from the manufacturer. The retail cost of that same sweater is around $500. Both European & American high end clothes are still made in sweat shops almost exclusively with labor costs around $2 - $8 per garment max. Markup vs. actual cost is insane, don't buy into the bullshit. This swag costs maybe $15 - $20 to make per garment for the most expensive of these offerings, and that includes materials and labor. Add advertising and cost goes up another $5 per garment. No thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
