The Merchco Online SYL store..

Hey Tracy,

I've been wondering about this for a long time. The Merchco-Online SYL store has been out of stock of the SYL hoodies for the longest time. For a while, they still had the picture of the hoodie on the frontpage. I emailed them about it and they said they were out of stock, they didn't know when they'd be back in stock. Just generally very rude about it.

I know that the HDR store sells hoodies that are almost like it, but I really liked the Merchco version better. The HDR version has a large kanji logo on the front, but the Merchco version had the small one in the upper corner of the chest, SYL written on the sleeve, and Strapping Young Lad on the bottom lower area.

So I was just curious to see if you had any knowledge about this, and if maybe you know when it'll be back?

Thanks so much.

I think awhile ago her and Dev announced no more hoodies would be made because the shipping for them is outrageous, and they are very expensive.

Than again, my memory could be playing tricks on me

IIRC, that statement only applies to the HDR store, as the HDR store and the Merchco store have nothing to do with each other.

I always thought HDR supplied the other stores though. Guess not :P

They are completely unrelated. I have never been in contact with them at all, it's all done separately through SYL management.
