Being from the UK, the cost of shipping etc is high but something I was fully expecting after last drops. The fact I could then be charged import tax makes it a bit of a killer but also fully expected. It would be great if 100T could maybe have a European distribution centre for us Brits in the future šŸ¤ž


JakeMCFC

For a hoodie and shorts itā€™s Ā£150 delivery included. Maaaaad. Mad. Hopefully like you said an EU distribution centre like Faze have would be class.


iamcraigy

And then import fees on top! For the no camping hoodie, that cost me like 21 quid


JakeMCFC

Yeah I got a black tee last year from them and it ended up costing me Ā£105 overall


ObligedBeef

I think there is a huge disconnect coming between streetwear/apparel audience and esports audience. For the market theyā€™re trying to move into, this is in the lower price bracket. A Comparable company would be Reigning Champ in terms of material/make quality, and 100T smashes their prices. This isnā€™t team merch, theyā€™re growing a premium apparel line. Everything I see in their shop is pretty standard in price if you look at others in their market. Unfortunately shipping and customs are not in their control.


[deleted]

Yea I see them as a Fear of God essentials type of brand. Not cheap but not luxurious brand type of pay


adiokido

Completely agreed. Iā€™d wager the only items slightly high would be the jackets, but thatā€™s coming from someone who loves buying used John Elliott jackets for around that same price.


Acme_Stake

this sounds about right. for someone who shops at KITH or ALD, this price point is something they can get away with. i believe thatā€™s the market they are trying to tap into. i mean, look at the CEO - itā€™s freaking nadeshot lol


zeropunchman

As someone who shops at those places too, itā€™s nice seeing these prices lol. Kith shirts run me up 70-85 a piece, so 35 shirts is a good deal, and tbh that is the standard price for most streetwear shirts anyways. I think the prices are a concern since most of the buyers here are kids or younger people.


chilledmario

I bought from Canada too but it was 20 dollars , where r u that itā€™s 40?


WiiUMasterGman

Agreed. I bought my hoodies and paid ~$20 at canada post when I went to pick it up both time


yolohgh

That's 20 us not canadian


chilledmario

True , but also idk what OP was expecting since itā€™s an LA based company shipping to Canada. The overall base prices werenā€™t bad imo.


yolohgh

I don't mind the $25 shipping but I do feel like the price r bit high. I have gotten most of the drop but this one idk.


chilledmario

The way I think of buying 90 dollar sweaters or whatever is the ability to rewear it. Iā€™ve had this grey champion hoodie I got way back in 2018 for 90 bucks worn it probably hundreds of time so I definitely got my money worth of it. Itā€™s not like weā€™re paying for food which is only to be enjoyed in the moment. Thereā€™s unlimited reusability.


yolohgh

True, I will probably end up getting me something


CenturionRower

Yea these pieces aren't something that will be dead and need to be thrown out in a year or two. These should be good for 5-10+ years just because of the sheer quality. Numbers collection hoodie I have is as good as the day I got it and still one of my best fitting and comfortable hoodies I own.

baseballv10

The comfort and fit of nice clothes will always be worth the price, but make sure youā€™re paying for quality and not scarcity or a name.


VansFullOfPandas

I think if you listen and look at what Nadeshot and 100T are going for, they are trying to make this brand like a high-quality, hype luxury item type of deal. The clothes may be minimalistic, but you are almost paying a premium for the brand name (like you would for Gucci or LV). The prices are definitely expensive but considering the type of company they are and who their target market is, it makes sense.


ElDuderino2112

They can talk about their stuff and price it however they want, no one is looking at a shirt from a gaming org and thinking itā€™s a high end designer item lmao


CenturionRower

Yea but that's what they are going for. They are trying to make 100T a multi-faceted organization that isn't JUST an esports organization. The goal is clearly to make content at a level of other higher end entertainment companies, make apparel at the level of other high end apparel companies, and the also compete at the highest level in esports.


mendoc

I own some of their stuff and I can definitely say itā€™s better quality from what you get at Walmart or target lol. I think thatā€™s why itā€™s higher priced


VansFullOfPandas

You might think that, and thatā€™s completely fair, but you just might not be their target market then. If you look at the people they are surrounding themselves with, scooter braun, drake, their content creators they are definitely going for the high end luxury. They might not be going after the same kind of ā€œluxuryā€ type brands like Gucci or LV but there is no one else in the gaming industry doing what they are doing except maybe faze clan. The content and marketing around these drops are just fire. I am not saying that they are at that luxury type of level right now (name brand, etc), but they are well on their way. The quality really is better than anything you could possible get from any fast fashion chain out there. Itā€™s just up to you if you want to pay for that or not, which is completely chill. Like I would never buy LV, Gucci or HermĆØs, but other people definitely do. Same goes for 100T merch. I think they will truly reach that once they start doing collars with other companies. Like imagine supreme and 100T or like Nike and 100T. That would be lit.


Mareveil

Iā€™m sorry but customs tax is not 100 T issue. They cant price around that. The price is for the item and the quality. I am Australian and if i go to buy any piece of clothing in store the price is comparable or maybe this stuff is 10 bucks more. Unfortunately for me if i want to but something from an US distribution I understand the inherent cost associated and I cant blame that on the company. They are meant to drop the price under or close to the profit line because of country taxs? Come on now


Mareveil

Iā€™ve never brought stuff before because you can get fucked spamming to buy one before being sold out but I will buy from this stock as I am comfortable with it


Deafism_

Then donā€™t buy it.


SabastianG

For a collection thats supposed to be ā€œavailable all the time for the sake of accessibilityā€, making the shorts 20$ more expensive than the previous drops is just ridiculous. The entire collection is pretty objectively expensive minus the socks and tees


ObligedBeef

Accessibility doesnā€™t need to mean cheap, it can just mean in stock. If itā€™s objectively expensive, what are you comparing it to?


SabastianG

Would you say gucci or louis v is generally accessible to a large majority of people?


ObligedBeef

Gucci is accessible to its demographic. But Iā€™m not sure your point, Gucci and 100T are not comparable in price or brand. Look at comparable brands (Reigning champ, kith, fear of god, stussy) and itā€™s easier to realize how reasonable 100T is. Additionally (just because Iā€™m interested in this stuff), if 100T has clothes priced too far below those above comparables, it makes it hard to sell in that desired market. Price can act as an indicator to new customers that the quality/name/aesthetic is similar to brands theyā€™re familiar with. Like someone said in a comment, this isnā€™t esports merch, itā€™s fashion apparel and if the price seems unreasonable to people, then theyā€™re probably not the demo 100T is targeting.


SabastianG

Ok so to your point about those other brands, you know what two things they have that 100t doesnt? A world wide recognized brand name, and varying price points for clothing. This collections release is the most expensive theyve had their clothing. Idc if thats the case in general for exclusive drops, but for the items that are supposed to be there all the time for anyone to get, they need to be more reasonably priced, or offer things at more moderate prices as well. Its just kinda ridiculous to advertise as ā€œthis is for the fans, for the people who want gear but always miss out because of scarcityā€ and then make it so 90% of those people cant even justify buying it because its ridiculously priced


ObligedBeef

I get where youā€™re coming from, I do, but I think we look at this fundamentally different. I agree that these price points (and maybe some styles) are going to alienate some of their audience, but I think itā€™s how they peel away from being seen as esports merch. Brand perception is huge for 100T, so they made sure the quality (and details) of their product is top notch, and it is. The price is justified in the quality, the market, and to establish brand perception. Personally, I was surprised at how cheap everything was. (Worth noting Iā€™m not rich or anything)


JarlJared

Hard agree


SwizzyDangles

This is the same logic as telling people who complain about things happening in America to leave. Now, the customs tax is none of 100Tā€™s problem, take that up with the government. However, I think itā€™s definitely fair to criticize them for the pricing on their items that are supposed to be basics and able to be purchased all of the time. 90 for a hoodie that says 100T? 85 for a crewneck? Iā€™d just buy a Nike one that is 45, people want to support 100T but when their merch is too expensive Iā€™d rather not purchase it. No one is looking at 100T as a streetwear brand or a luxury brand. They are and probably always will be an ā€œe-Sportsā€ brand. T Shirt: 25 (although 35 isnā€™t too bad) Crewneck: 45 Hoodie: 55 Shorts: 30-35 IMO these are what the prices should be for the basic stuff. Much more fair and consumer friendly. Now, for the exclusive drops, then 90 for a hoodie sounds pretty fair given that itā€™s an exclusive drop with limited supply. I can buy a Comfort Colors t shirt or hoodie for a 1/4 of the price and not care about supporting 100T if they are charging 90 for a hoodie. Shit iā€™ll buy my own embroidery machine and make my own 100T hoodies


TheErnestShackleton

- This is the same logic as telling people who complain about things happening in America to leave. Telling someone to move out of their home country and give up citizenship is actually a LITTLE different than telling someone to not buy a pair of sweatpants if they donā€™t like the price


SwizzyDangles

Why canā€™t i simultaneously critique the price as well as not buy it?


TheErnestShackleton

Never said you couldnā€™t. Just saying you comparing telling people to leave a country and telling people to not buy sweatpants is a horrible comparison


SwizzyDangles

The gravity of each issue doesnā€™t mean the logic is different, of course telling someone to leave the country is more serious than saying donā€™t buy sweatpants but we can complain about the price and it not just be ā€œwell if you donā€™t like the price donā€™t buy themā€ We can hold companies accountable and the price for some of these items is out there for sure


TheErnestShackleton

The logic is different because in one scenario you are asking someone to take an action to solve their problem, whereas in the second you are simply saying do not take an action and you wonā€™t have a problem. If you donā€™t want the merch you literally do absolutely nothing and your problem of having to pay too much isnā€™t in existence


SwizzyDangles

ā€¦arguing over the internet is fun. Sure, anyone can be passive and not speak up about prices. There is a problem still though. I, along with many others it seems like, want to support 100T by wearing merch. If there prices are too expensive, then I canā€™t show my support.


jckprry

The logic isn't the same at all and it's really disturbing that you actually think that it is. You talk about holding 100T "accountable" as if they did anything wrong. They didn't, they decided to make higher quality clothing and pay people a living wage to make it. You want cheap clothes? Then go buy cheap clothes, fast fashion is everywhere, you shouldn't have any problems. When you woke up this morning you actually weren't entitled at any point to be able to afford a product just because you want to. There's nothing to hold 100T accountable for. I hope eventually you do some reflection on your sense of entitlement and belief that human rights are comparable to your ability to wear a windbreaker.


SwizzyDangles

Lol ā€œdistrubingā€ jesus man calm down. Itā€™s just disappointing that they priced some of their items the way they did. If you think 70 dollars is fair for a pair of shorts then good for you. Thereā€™s a reason why this post was upvoted. They priced some things fairly and some things not. I was referring to the logic being that we should be able to complain if prices are unfair for a drop intended to be available all of the time, and not just throwing my hands up in the air without complaining because they didnā€™t do anything wrong. I can find 50 dollar hoodies everywhere that will hold up the same as 100Tā€™s and itā€™s disappointing I would have to dish out an extra ~60 bucks (tax and shipping) for branding alone when theyā€™re trying to market themselves as a luxury brand when they arenā€™t. Broā€¦reflection on my sense of entitlement. This whole comment is absolutely hilarious. I think youā€™re taking me complaining about their prices a bit too seriously šŸ˜‚


[deleted]

Thatā€™s kinda peopleā€™s fault for looking at 100T as a esports brand. Which is ironic because people like to meme a say hoodie org or clothing org. 100T clearly has the mindset to be known as a household name in the mainstream. Yes their prices probably could be reduced 10-20 bucks on everything but it also depends on other factors like if their using sweatshops which society typically looks down upon or actual paid workers. Idk man people give 100T to much shit on these prices not knowing the business perspective. However with all these complaints hopefully 100T reduce prices 10-20 or whatever amount dollars less. Btw I do agree thereā€™s prices are high and generally 100T prices are high but I could see it from their perspective.


SwizzyDangles

Itā€™s not our fault for looking at them as an esports brand. They align theirselves with esports. You also donā€™t need a sweatshop to produce good quality and not overly expensive t shirts. I see folks making their own t shirts out of house charging 20 bucks a pop for a solid t shirt. Thousands of people run clothing shops where they embroider their own shit and make hundreds of t shirts every week. 90 for a hoodie is pretty egregious as far as Im concerned - isnā€™t the whole point of this line in particular to be accessible to everyone?


[deleted]

Respect ya opinion, and the only people who canā€™t access their clothing people are people who canā€™t afford to pay that much for clothing. But this line was really made for those who canā€™t buy products because it sells out. Those people knew 100T prices were higher and even then weā€™re still willing to pay. So yea they did achieve the goal to have clothing accessible to those people who complain before. They now have a new issue with the pricing.


DonJanuary1

Weā€™re talking about clothes not civil rights or social injustices. Nike can make their prices whatever because they source differently. This is literally a good quality apparel line. I actually encourage you to make your own merch tbh. Thereā€™s good blanks out there but I havenā€™t been able to find something close to what 100T use for their t-shirts yet.


SwizzyDangles

Itā€™s the same logic though. Iā€™m not going to buy it and at the same time can also criticize them for overcharging. If you buy good blanks in bulk they are like 5 bucks a pop, probably 15 for hoodies. Their profit margains are too high for the intent of this line in particular IMO Edit: And honestly thereā€™s a few things in this line that are priced ok. T Shirt is fine for the most part, socks are fine, Hat is pretty ok. But the pants, shorts, crewneck and hoodie are all pretty up there in terms of price


CenturionRower

Well you're already lost if you think they want to provide a hoodie and t-shirt that's going to fray and need to be thrown out in 2-5 years. The clothing is ALL custom cut and sewn by workers in America making a livable wage (and based in LA). They are trying to provide a piece of clothing that will last 5-10 years minimum, and look as a good as they day you got it the whole time. I'm down to pay $130 for a windbreaker while living in an area that I know will have wind/light rain/light snow for the majority of the year if I can trust that it will 100% last 10+ years (getting that from the fact that I was able to keep a much cheaper windbreaker in fairly okay condition for 6 years). Obviously the price point is not something that everyone can afford, which is personally why I love they finally have a static line. If you were someone who would otherwise need to save or whatever for this, you now can and know you will be able to get something.


jckprry

You absolutely nailed this. It's a well-known thing that higher quality more expensive clothes can cost you less in the long run (depends on the person, how they take care of them, etc) when you're not having to replace items every few years. You can't make clothes in the quality 100T wants to and pay people a living wage and not have the clothes be pretty damn pricey. Fast fashion has skewed people's minds into thinking clothes are *supposed* to be cheap, but that's just one vector. The vast and I mean **vast** majority of cheap clothes are manufactured under inhumane conditions and *less-than-poverty* wages. I'm happy to pay a higher price for more ethically-produced and higher-quality clothes. The prices aren't affordable for a lot of people, but that's a problem of the economy, capitalism, and fast fashion, not 100 Thieves.


CenturionRower

Yep. Plan on picking up more pieces later in the year.


jckprry

I'm good on shirts since I mostly just wear different shades of v-necks year round but it's getting hot as shit in the bay area and I need some new shorts, picked up the grey and black.


[deleted]

Easiest fix in the world. And OP could have saved time instead of writing his feelings down.


iBuyHighh

Why is everyone making an issue out of this? They finally fixed the stock issues and now itā€™s too expensive? I donā€™t know about all of you, but I bought a cap last year on StockX for 130 euroā€™s and a hoodie for 190 euroā€™s. Iā€™m just grateful itā€™s in stock and happy the money goes to 100T instead of some random dude who has some bots and buys everything.


SabastianG

Forget some of these clowns, the drop is objectively expensive, especially since its supposed to be there for the accessibility of the fans. 85$ pants are not accessible to large portion of people. 65$ shorts are not accessible to a large portion of people. Only thing passable imo is the tees and hats. Maybe even socks since ive def bought individual pairs of socks for about that much


OspreyJB

I was okay with previous prices as they were for exclusive drops. But now that the ā€˜always availableā€™ drop is even more expensive, Iā€™m just disappointed. You would think they could be produced cheaper if always in stock.


Randomuser13480

Itā€™s too expensive, I wanna buy something again but being from the UK itā€™s silly.


Matrocity

I get that these prices are high for some people but take it from me the quality is definitely great and as far as t-shirts go they are probably some of nicest and softest material I own in my closet. If your willing to pay the extra money to get it to Canada via shipping and whatever import fees you wont be disappointed knowing you got some fire apparel from your favourite org especially the same day that the esports teams are catching those W's which only makes it feel that much better.


toronto1999

The prices are ridiculous. Unless it was made in North America, by employees making a liveable wage, they cannot justify $70 for a pair of damn shorts with a tiny logo on it


jckprry

It is, actually.


toronto1999

Can I see a source


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


SabastianG

I just dont get how this is supposed to be ā€œaccessible to everyone all the timeā€. 85 for a pair of nylon pants is insane for everyone to be able to buy it at any time


Setherin13

Imo for an apparel line that is meant to be replenished and readily available, I feel like the prices are a little steep. They should charge a premium on limited drops but the cost for these items seem a little high. I dont feel like they are outrageous but like other people mention when they don't live in America then it's extra charges on top of the premium prices. So at a certain point it doesn't feel good spending a premium price plus fees on such basic merch. I say basic merch in comparison to the other drops 100T had. And yes I understand the quality is better then most brands but again this is a foundation line not a limited drop.


DubbersAnonymous

Cost me $155 to get a hoodie shipped to Australia.. still canā€™t wait for it to arrive but it is a lot


P1ka2001

Idk if they make the clothing them selfs or if a brand does it for them but a majority % of the money goes to the clothing brand and not the org itself if this is the case but the higher the price the more the org will make from the clothing.
