About Wear138
The definitive destination for official and vintage Misfits apparel — built by a fan, for fans.
Why This Store Exists
We've been a Misfits fan since I was thirteen years old, when an older kid at my high school in New Jersey played me "Night of the Living Dead" out of a battered cassette player. Nothing sounded like that before, and nothing has since.
For years I bought Misfits gear wherever I could find it — record stores, convention booths, the back pages of zines. I learned quickly that the space was full of counterfeits: unauthorized reprints, sloppy bootlegs passed off as originals, and vintage pieces with fake provenance. The gear deserved better.
Wear138 is the store I always wanted to find. Everything here is either officially licensed through authorized wholesale distributors — primarily MVD Entertainment Group and Impact Merchandising — or hand-selected vintage pieces that I authenticate personally before listing. No exceptions.
The name is obvious to anyone who knows. "We Are 138" is the opening track of a legacy. This store is a small continuation of it.
How We Get Our Gear
Two distinct channels. One standard of quality.
Official Licensed Merchandise
We partner directly with authorized wholesale distributors including MVD Entertainment Group and Impact Merchandising — the same channels that supply major music retailers. Every licensed item comes with a full paper trail from manufacturer to your door.
- Sourced from authorized distributors only
- Genuine licensing agreements verified
- Current-season and catalog titles
- Manufacturer-sealed packaging
Vintage & Deadstock Curation
Original era pieces from the Danzig, Doyle, and post-reunion eras. These are sourced through personal networks built over two decades — collectors, estate sales, record dealers, and fellow obsessives who know what they're holding.
- Personal authentication on every piece
- Provenance documented where possible
- Graded honestly: A, A–, B+, B
- Single-item listings — no duplicates
No Bootlegs. No Bullshit.
Authenticity Above All
If we can't verify it, we don't sell it. Period. The Misfits legacy is too important to cheapen with unauthorized product.
Honest Grading
Vintage items are graded honestly — you'll know exactly what you're buying. We describe flaws in detail because we'd want the same from a seller.
Fan-First Pricing
We don't gouge on rare pieces. Our margins are fair. The goal is to get gear into the hands of fans who love it, not just the highest bidder.
Community Knowledge
Questions about a piece's history, era, or authenticity? We answer them. This store runs on decades of knowledge and we share it freely.
Questions? Just Ask.
Whether you're looking for something specific, want to know more about a piece's history, or just want to talk Misfits — reach out. This is a fan-run operation and we love to hear from other fans.
