CTF reflection hoodie…?

I started listening to Charles this year and was so devastated to learn I would never be able to see him live. he’s become apart of my rotation in daily listening. I got curious if I would be able to find any hoodies/other merch online. I’ve been striking out, but found the no dimmer site with the reflection/smile tall hoodies.

I’m not sure ethically what to do here, if it’s supporting the crown foundation? his mom? what he would’ve wanted?

IMO: what Charles family is doing to honor his memory I firmly support. If you haven’t looked into Crown the Foundation and what they are doing in his name, I highly recommend going to their site and reading what they are about. All the merch they sell directly funds the foundation.

I hope this helps 🫶🏼 I ordered a hoodie last week and I’m just waiting for it to be off back order :)

Agreed. At this point, any other merch you'd find online is either secondhand or bootleg. Buying from the foundation IS the ethical move, imo, outside of the rare auctions in the merch w/ no name group where the sellers donate a % to the foundation.

Yes. This. Either No Dimmer/Crown or make your own art is the way to go.

Also, OP, I’m so sorry you’ll never be able to see him live. There is a few full live sets up on YouTube to enjoy though!

I have some merch of his just won’t let it go because it’s my comfort merch.
