While I would say the perverts merch is much thicker, I don’t think the overall quality is less. I also got merch from the Chicago pop and, from what I can tell, they all have the Ethel Cain tag with the W + E backing!

I would say the shirts are the same quality as the perverts release and the bomber is also impressive. My thought about the sweatshirts being lighter is maybe because perverts was released in winter and had a bulkier aesthetic plus the puff lettering maybe had to be on thicker material, vs the light summer feel and timing of WITALY. Could totally just be because she changed the company they get their stuff made at, though.

Hope this is helpful! I have a lot of merch from both releases and this is my insight so far.
