What's new on Planet ElRat🖤 | November 2025
Hello you lovely people, I don't send these often as you know, but I do have a few things going on at ElRat Designs, so I hope you'll forgive the small ramble.

Music is for everyone, and Merch should be too.
Here at ElRat Designs, all shirts are printed to order, this means I can offer inclusive sizing on all items. So you can buy any shirt on the store, in all sizes from S-6XL.
Every Hersh Shirt directly funds Kristin Hersh Studio time
Another benefit of printing to order is the ability to give you choices, and it's really hard for me to do that in the standard product listings, because no matter how much I try, I could never list you all the shirt/print/ink choices that are possible....
So my solution is simple, I will just offer you *everything*, any print, on any shirt I have in stock, using any of the 25 ink colours I have in stock, and you can mix around the prints on front or back as you wish, and all for the same pricing structure as just buying a standard shirt.
Here's just one of the "Design your Own" customs chosen so far
Apple Mint Metallic ink ready to print
Royal Blue shirt with KH logo, ready to pack with extras
Silver Sun back print on the back in the same Apple Mint Metallic
Every Hersh shirt comes with a free Sunny Border Blue, and Kristin Hersh halftone test prints, as well as a Moonlight Concessions badge while I have them.
I always put a couple of hand printed a6 cards in there too🖤
We have lyric shirts handwritten by Kristin Hersh especially for ElRat Designs to bring you this exclusive merch, classic logos, original ElRat Hersh and non Hersh Shirts
Freddie Mercury could be heading down the toilet on a T-Shirt near you on these new Bywater "Flushed Editions"
Hand printed, hand tied and bleached by my own fair hands, each one is completely unique, there are only 18 made right now, every one individually photographed so you can see the exact shirt you're buying, I had couple of XXS and XS shirts around so these are available in all sizes from XXS all the way through to 6XL
It's hard enough to choose for yourself, so who could ever choose for anyone else? Luckily, you don't have to!
You can now buy ElRat Designs gift cards for that unique someone in your life, range of values from £10 to £50, with no time limit on usage, and any left over credit stays on the card for future use.
And finally...
I have just been working on some things on the website, in the hopes of making navigation a little easier, and to address some of the issues that have been niggling me for a while, I hope that it makes it easier to find what you need.
We have new navigation bars, some navigation in the banners now, as well as a full range of filters to narrow by band, and even album. All One-of-a-Kind shirts can be filtered by size to make it easier for you to see what will fit.
I have added some wild shirt photos to my banners, and if you find your own wild shirt picture (either head on or off) anywhere on the website, please get in touch and I will send you a 10% discount code.

If you would like to submit your wild shirt picture, you can send them directly to wild@elratdesigns.co.uk, please write 'Wild Shirt Pics' in the subject line
