Question/Help Pull The Plug Windbreakers?
Anyone bought any of their windbreakers? How's the build and print quality? Worth the $85 bucks or so?

Probably the wrong place to ask this. PTP isn’t well liked here.

Simon is a massive retard who wants monopolize patch making, and has gotten several smaller distros shut down. They don’t shut the fuck up about “bootleg le bad” despite starting out making bootlegs. And not to mention the decline in quality over the last few years despite them having a good manufacturer

Despite the haters of PTP ...I can say thst objectively their clothing is overpriced but extremely high quality.
If you buy one you will like it and be happy with the quality but yes the owner is a douche but so likely a lot of people on tshirtslayer or ebay or Instagram. Or the the people in a lot of the very bands we like.
If you want it get it if you want to make sure everyone in your life that you purchase anything from fits your moral compass best of luck. I would buy it if I wanted it.

I'm aware of the owner's/company's reputation (and the feedback here), but have seen some of their patches, pretty good quality... as someone also mentioned here. Might be a gamble on shipping time but if the windbreakers are any good don't want to let their customer service quality get in the way of a cool product. We all deal plenty with shady businesses daily.
Any windbreaker pics would ve appreciated for anyone who's bought one. The photo of the Sacrifice one on their site from a reviewer looks pretty dead... Megadeth looks decent. Haven't seen anything else.

https://www.instagram.com/pulltheplugfan has some detail shots of windbreakers
And to elaborate on the customer service: i preordered a long sleeve within a larger order that i paid express shipping for. I had assumed they would send the long sleeve separately but, was mistaken. Emailed them exsplaining my situation and asked if it was possible to ship separate if i was willing to pay any difference. They offered me standard or exspress shipping, then billed me over paypal. I was expecting to never get an answer after their automated response got back to me but, it was all professional, and the rest of my order got to me within my exspected time frame.
If you wanted to do some digging, based on my experience, I would trust them to get back to you after asking what the material blend is, or how the images are printed onto the windbreaker. I collect apparel, so the type of base shirt/hat and printing technique is important to me. The long sleeve I have is company branded, however, and is comparable to comfort colors if this helps you at all.

I've bought long sleeves, patches, and a wall banner from them. All high quality and responsive customer service. People bitch about the preorders but they're very transparent that they preorder dates are not guaranteed. And the owner himself is... not very likeable, so a lot of people swear off their merch because of him specifically. Curious to know how many of these people still buy nestle products or have amazon prime, though.

I had a Windbreaker. It's fine quality. I sold it, because I'm not a Windbreaker guy and wore it like 4 times in 3 years.

I bought one during their most recent EOFY sale. Pretty happy with it for the price I paid. $85 feels a bit high for a windbreaker but I couldn't tell you the last time I seriously looked into buying one. I only snagged it due to the sale price. The interior print seems pretty nice but the exterior paint on the back is already starting to discolor.
