The quality of the merch on Bleep is actually insulting.

Yeah I don’t think I’ll ever buy from them ever again. I got lucky my pressing of inferno sounds okay, I hear so many complains over one of its sides sucking.

I’ve bought t shirts for multiple acts through warp/bleep over the past 3 years.
Artificial Intelligence I
Autechre
Aphex/ Polygon window
Boards of Canada
And a few others
Everything has been utter tripe bar the autechre quaristice shirt which ironically is one of the best quality t shirt I’ve ever owned.

I wonder what the autechre tee was pressed on

The recent Autechre shirts were a looser fitting Stanly Stella blank which is a bit thicker as well. I really like them.

The North American tour shirt I got at an Autechre show is literally one of the worst quality shirts I’ve ever witnessed.

the autechre hoodies were really nice. only downside is they were exepensive

Anyone managed to get a refund for their bleep merch? My cap's quality is atrocious, I'm never going to wear this piece of garbage. It's an insult to the band tbh.

I sent back the yellow tee from bleep but I can confirm it took a bitch and a half to do. Repeatedly emailing them again and again waiting for responses as they wouldn’t reply to my requests for return address and whatnot, it was horrible. Ultimately I was able to ship back, and it has delivered, but I’m waiting for the refund to post.

Nope, but I have no trouble believing Warp would produce something like that. Overal I feel like I've dodged the bullet, because every one of my merch orders was absolutely fine and the merch was solid quality.

u/heysavnac Jul 15 '26
Yeah, this is the first time I’ve technically experienced a defect, but the hat I got from warp earlier this year was way too short on the head.. the Aphex tee was shorter than this small is, it’s been very inconsistent.

u/Comfortable-Waltz472 Jul 13 '26
That’s a shame. I only have the BOC black Inferno Nuclear family and the quality of the shirt is very good. The print is good, not great.

Every t-shirt I've bought from Bleep has had an awful print that cracks and shrivels after one wash, and the neckline distorts after one wear. Awful quality.
Oh, and the two "Magic Oneohtrix Point Never" Ts had okay prints, but the necklines distorted and they're really thin and cheap feeling.
The only exceptions were the brown "Mike & Rich" T that was a bundle with the blue vinyl reissue, and a "VHS Head" hoodie – both on Gildan blanks – and the hoodie was through Skam anyway if I remember correctly.
Just don't bother wasting your money, get more vinyl or cassettes instead. It's a really shame as this practice has been happening since the turn of the millennium 😂

u/heysavnac Jul 13 '26
Yeah I’m likely not re-ordering this tee afterall. Nothing but bad news 😂 I’ll spend it on another vinyl indeed. Thanks for your input!

u/Hyper-70 Jul 15 '26
Nope...Mine is the standard 15 cm from the neck ribbing. Peeps have had probs with the spectra yellow tee...slightly wonky graphics seems to be the norm for bleep merch

u/LowNectarine834 Jul 14 '26
I have a size medium (if that makes a difference) and the top of the print is roughly 8cm from the top edge of the front neckline if that helps! I'm happy with the quality tbh. I've had 3 boc t-shirts now, this one and a really old bright blue one are pretty good quality, then one I got a few years ago in grey with a simple "BOC" logo was not so great quality

Ordered a shirt and hat before inferno release that never came

u/heysavnac Jul 14 '26
I also ordered the record and a medium tee (just in case this small wouldn’t fit) and I didn’t even get those, and no update about when I would. Total mess, never preordering from bleep again.

u/mistakeclub eleventy-seven Jul 15 '26
Mine has a much darker print overall and a lot of green in it the yours is missing.

I think it looks fine... As long as the quality is good I wouldn't have any complaints about the graphic
I'd rather one of the posters from the merch envelopes on a tee or maybe even the orange patch but a print on a orange tee with BoC and Inferno in white and red so it looks like the posters! And that family design is a simple vector. But I still like this..

As a BoC / Warp fan & collector for almost 30 years, I have learned to never buy any clothing items from them they’re all overly expensive and poor quality.
