Fluff & Memes Thanks for the Christmas present GGG 😄

Came in today. The Netherlands (EU), ordered the day after the POE2 reveal stream. Had to pay import costs (21,94 euro).

Quality of the prints isn't the greatest, the print material feels a bit cheap and the quality is a tad blurry.

However the garments themselves are pretty awesome. The textiles feel great, the hoodie is nice and thick and feels great and the shirt quality is great as well. Size is a 2XL and they fit great (which I'm grateful for as I'm currently losing a lot of weight, so the reaffirming is nice 😂).

The hoodie also does that Australia / NZ thing (atleast I think it's a down under thing) where the zipper is on the right side of the tracks and the little thing you put into the zipper is on the left (whereas normally this is the other way around, zipper on the left, little thing on the right). No big deal, just something that might take some getting used to. I have another zip up from Mighty Car Mods that does the same thing.

They're currently in the wash, we'll see how the prints hold up, but I'm not holding out much hope tbh.

Overall still happy with them though, I've definitely had much worse mech.

Let me know how they hold up after washed. I got the 100 bucks tier, but will probably upgrade to the 240 and 480 after a while.

I'll take some pics for you tomorrow, it's been through the wash and the dryer. Haven't checked yet but the print survived the wash just fine (30 celcius eco mode)

So, after one wash and dry cycle (30 celcius, eco mode on the washer and eco mode on the dryer) the very top of the two "i"s that make up the number 2 in the PoE2 logo are already showing signs of cracks, which indicates to me the quality is indeed not great.

If you want to upgrade to the 480 pack and your decision is dependent on the merch quality, more specifically the quality of the print on the merch, I'd say spend your money with other merch from other games or your favorite influencers or something. But if you want to know about the quality of the garment itself (how it fits, feels, etc) I'd say go right ahead. The clothing itself is great and fits great. I haven't tested it post wash / dry, but there will be some minor shrinkage (pretty much always the case with new garments), and from there it's just a comfy piece of clothing, albeit with pretty lackluster print quality.

I messed up, I thought large would be large, but its more like a medium I cant even wear my flannel under it. I need to trade for an extra large

Have you tried contacting support? Perhaps you can exchange if you are okay with paying for the shipping

I could try, but I opened it to put it on. Tons of cat hair immediately slurped onto it lol

Nothing a wash can't fix, I know the feeling 😂 if you look l closely you'll see cat hair in the picture as well xD I had literally just opened them
