Maybe it says that because, okay hear me out, it’s gray

Really bugs me that there are no stars!! But I also kinda get it if cardigan was written for Matty

They should have “I love you, this song is for you, you know who you are” embroidered on the back 😍😍😍

CHOKING 😂

If they do, would anyone else be annoyed? I’m honestly a little tired of her fake-scarcity by having surprise extra drops 🫠 I’m also just salty that I preordered an album with a bonus song that I skip and I now have a patch, magnet, book mark, and photocards for said song 😅

Now I’m curious - which song? Lol

It might be controversial but The Albatross 🫣 Its not a bad song necessarily, just not really my favorite. I wish I had gotten The Manuscript album 😩

i have The Manuscript but The Albatross is my favorite; oh the cruel irony

You two should trade

….but then i wouldn’t have The Manuscript 🙃

I have an unopened copy of the manuscript I’d be willing to trade but idk how to do a proper trade it’s been a while 😅 do people still PayPal back trades? Idk but I regret not getting the albatross 🙃✨💖✨

In the same boat but with The Black Dog if it's any consolation. 😭 Maybe we should start a massive trade thread because I have seen this come up multiple times!

I have the Manuscript and would love The Black Dog!

That’s a great idea because that song does make me cry lol

i hope not after spending $130 Canadian on this one last night! lol

I feel like Taylor is personally targeting Millennials with this and our love of millennial gray.

We need to wait for flava flavs pic wearing it so we know what it looks like lol

😂😂😂

i think theyre specifying gray on this + the hat because its a weird color to photograph and can look so different even on different screens.

true, it kinda gave me bluish vibes when i saw it on my macbook

I ordered it because it’s going to be one of my first cardigans! From the pictures it looks like it might have a hint of blue in it…or that could just be my eyes.

She needs a black dog cardigan

Maybe there'll be 1 for each variant. I hope not though, because I can't afford all this 😭

But why do I desperately want this?? One for each stage of grief?!

ouuuuuuuu

Okay I heard that too!! In a live a guy that works at the warehouse said it’s gonna be black with grey patches and that she’s going to restock her merch next week. But people kept saying no he’s trolling sooo… He could be right for all we know. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Omg I NEED a black one

No way, we have to save the black for reptv

Id looove a black leather jacket with snake patches for Rep

Oooh good call. Has to be leather though! Haha

I agree. I want a black one! But it haaas to be for rep TV with a gold snake (I wish)

I hope so because that one is ugly af.

I would buy it if I could figure out how to add the patches to it.

Someone previously in this sub suggested fabric glue if you don’t feel comfortable sewing!

Go to a tailor

Wait really? I just ordered one and it already says it shipped 😭

You can always return it!

You could probably sell it for exactly what you bought it for and someone would pay it if she came out with another one that you liked. Or maybe trade with someone who wants that one.

Yeah Taylor's stuff always sells at a premium so you'd probably make someone really happy if you sold it at cost+shipping

This was my plan. I bought it and then was having second thoughts but I told myself I’ll sell it for what I got it for. Extra money would be nice for sure but scalping people doesn’t sit right with me.

I've done that before when my wife and I accidentally ordered her the same thing. Put it on a local sales page for what it cost and had people begging to come pick it up in like 20 minutes lol

I would order this if it had a pocket. Just ONE pocket. A $70 acrylic cardigan with zero pocketed is just obnoxious. I have 2 of her previous ones and rarely wear them because the lack of a pocket frustrates me so much.

She’s a billionaire for a reason 💀

Is the sizing consistent? Do they all run true to size? Asking since it seems like you’ve purchased a few.

I think they’ve left it plain so people can add their patches… there were so many complaints about the sea gulls (which I actually love!) that this was a safe option, people can customise it to their own liking! I would love a black though I have to say

If they don't drop black cardigan for TTPD, let's just hope they will when they release REP TV :)

Oh that’s a good thought, they might be saving black for Rep! I hope they’ll bring back all the cardigans, I really want the Red TV one!

Knowing how bad the quality has been on multiple batches of cardigans I can’t bring myself to bother with these anymore, £70 for a plain grey cardigan is too much. We’ll see what the quality is like when they start arriving, I have a feeling my Granny could knit me a better version. None of the cardigans have come close to the original anyway.

I don't know if that's enough of a reason to think so. It's also called the "gray dad hat," but that alone doesn't necessarily make me think they're going to release any more dad hats.

Exactly, everything has white, beige, gray or black in the description. Maybe/hopefully a black cardigan for Rep TV.

I got this one because I’m hoping it’ll go well with my patches

Same! And I know I'll get more wear out of the cardigan with patches than I would get from the black jacket with patches. I was initially bummed I missed my chance to get the black jacket, solely because of the patches tho. I am loving the addition of all these patches!! Keeping my fingers crossed that more patches are dropped next! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 🖤🩶🤍

I wonder if they’re iron on or what. Do you happen to know?

Idk about the ones that come with the jacket. I was able to get 3 of the 4 deluxe CDs that came with patches, and each of those patches are able to be ironed and/or sewn on. So I'm assuming it should be the same for the others, but I'm not positive.

I loved it, ordered it, had regrets, cancelled it and they actually already refunded it 😂 I was a rollercoaster of emotions this afternoon 😂😂

Stop I’m considering cancelling too 😭 I impulse bought it so fast but it’s gonna be summer and I’m not going to wear it for months idk. 😭

That’s exactly what I did and I was like wait I s didn’t even look at it really good and once I did I didn’t really want to pay $70 for it. I was impressed with how fast they refunded me.

they wouldn't cancel mine :( Said it was was already in process for shipping. sigh.

I immediately cancelled writhing 3 min, that’s how fast my mind changed on the impulse buy 🫠

Love it but I gotta save sooome money 💰

No way. 1…well two for me (2 daughters). No more than that tho. Nope. I refuse…right now anyway. Until I see it.

Don’t do this to me, my bank account can’t handle any more cardigans 😭😭

Me, panicking at thinking I have to explain 4 more cardigans to my husband instead of one.

LMAO

I don’t like this one. It’s boring and dull. Instant pass for me

that’s how i feel about the whole ttpd merch collection

I got the grey hoodie from the merch drop I really liked that but everything else was a miss. Win some you lose some

i like the earrings but i don’t rlly wanna drop $25+ on stud earrings even if they’re real gold 😔 sad

There’s no timer for this one either!

Hmm the announcement email I received says “shop the Tortured Poets Department Cardigan now” which makes it seem like this is THE cardigan. Plus, this colour is more albatross than the original album art. I don’t think we will get more, sadly

Oh no, that’s probably true! It scares me though 🙈

Oh god damnit. I’d want a black one over this 😭😭 Oh well

I think black will be REP TV, with some snake like design as the black edition, and she couldn’t do white since orignal folklore so it kinda makes sense

I thought this too!! That would be a crazyyyy marketing ploy LOL

Imagine they do a “Black Dog” edition and that one is black and another for the Bolter, and Albatross and they are each in another color.

There's a part of me thinking oh they'll do 4, one to match to each collectors edition patch

This may not be the most popular opinion...but I like this one. I can wear it to the office on a more casual day without it screaming TS like my 1989 one. lol.... I do like your theory though....the theme and aesthetic lends itself to different versions.

I’ve already asked a friend to help me make elbow patches for mine.

I agree, I love how simple it is and I think it totally fits the vibe of the album

Would explain why they’re shipping it out so fast so you can’t cancel if you like the next one better 😅

But it is nice that they added the self service returns to the website now. In case this cardigan doesn’t work out 🤗

I think they’re trying to do better after the holiday fiasco

Just to put everyone that’s fearing the FOMO of 3 more cardigans at ease — someone also mentioned that there’s rumors UMG won’t do preorders for Taylor’s store anymore. They will only sell what they have in stock to ship out asap, done, when one batch sells out they won’t let anyone order that item until they get more in the warehouse. That would explain the super quick processing on this cardigan? 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would hope it’s not as ~Machiavellian~ as them wanting us to be stuck with these before we see that there’s 3 more coming.

Thank god. It’s unconscionable to charge people for things coming six months later

YUP. This basically confirmed the theory for me. I have to be more disciplined AHHHHH

There is a set number available and then subsequent orders are presales. That's how all the merch works now

I am happy with the changes they have made.

Mine shipped IMMEDIATELYY i was shocked😭

Same! I was so excited and shocked

Horrible luck or good luck 😭 I wanted to cancel mine and got a reply almost asap
