Merchandise

Within the (admittedly poorly named) Merch section we hope to create a database of everything that has been ever been sold or given away by the Beastie Boys or their affiliated endeavors. If you'll collect it, we'll archive it. We hope to give the Merchandise section a depth equal to our Discography or Gigography so please contact us if we're missing something (which we know we are).

Official and licensed art work printed on felt, often larger than what ended up on the original shirt design.
This comes from the archive of a local Detroit area music rep and was used to show shirt designs to vendors back in the day. This practice is now extinct in the digital age and this relic is impossible to find.
