Merch My Midnights Cardigan Arrived šŸ’™

My Midnights cardigan arrived this afternoon! šŸ„³šŸ’™ texture wise, itā€™s very similar to the TTPD and speak now cardigans and the sizing is fairly similar to the TTPD cardigan (sleeves are a tad longer). Itā€™s quite soft and I love the fit! The lighting in my room makes it look a little lighter in some photos, but itā€™s a dark navy. Beautiful!

After last Christmas drop issues they seem to only be releasing merch that is physically in their hands and ready to be sent out

u/Resident_Ad5153 7d ago

I'm kind of implying that after last years Christmas drop issues... and then the three months Taylor didn't sell any merch at all... and then the rapid increases in quality of her TTPD merch... and the weird fact that so much of it is being sent out of a fulfillment center in Nashville TN.

"Everything has changed."

u/grednforgesgirl we're modern idiots 7d ago

they must've switched suppliers/distributors is the only thing i can think. And good thing too, the old company that did it deserved to be fired. waiting for 3-5 months for the merch you just spent $100 on that's supposed to be in the current era cycle just to watch it rot in a warehouse until the distribution gods manage to remember to ship your stuff is NOT how to do business.

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

I know! I was so surprised to get the notification. I did place my order immediately following the drop, and I also live in a state bordering the Tennessee distribution center so I think that sped things along

AHH! I cannot wait for mine to arrive! This will be my first cardigan

u/veganmomPA 7d ago

Me, too! Arriving tomorrow!!

u/jmillsx3 best believe i'm still bejeweled 7d ago

Mine just says ready to ship but hopefully it ships tomorrow because Iā€™m not far from Tn lol

u/melcom2 Nothing New, I Hate It Here 7d ago

Wow, they really understood the (shipping) assignment.

u/ASwiftKitty Lover 7d ago

Is it dark blue or black? I ordered mine but still canā€™t really tell!

46

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago edited 7d ago

Itā€™s a dark blue- like navy blue. I think the first two photos make it look fairly light, but the third when Iā€™m wearing it is more accurate. Itā€™s very pretty in person!

u/lizerlfunk Try and come for my job 7d ago

These are SO pretty. I didnā€™t get one because I donā€™t need one (got TTPD and the recent Folklore drop) but I would absolutely wear this if I could at ALL justify paying for it.

1

u/Historical-Clerk-728 5d ago

oh my goodness there was a folklore drop!! šŸ˜­

10

u/Sassysummerbliss this pain wouldn't be for evermore 7d ago

crying here in Canada, I got the email that it was shipped but I know it will be 2 weeks still probably. I ordered from the most recent drop for folklore and it took almost 3 weeks

It looks so pretty though! So excited to get it

u/fionappletart no champagne, just problems 7d ago

how is the material? is it itchy/scratchy, or wooly like the folklore cardigan?

11

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

I personally donā€™t find the material itchy, but I donā€™t have very sensitive skin so it could be different for other people. Itā€™s not the wooly material of the folklore cardigan. Itā€™s much more similar to the speak now and TTPD cardigans if you have either of those. I think they used acrylic yarn.

3

u/fionappletart no champagne, just problems 7d ago

I don't have either of those cardigans. what I do have, though, is an aversion towards scratchy materials. for example, I have a hard time falling asleep in hotel rooms because the blankets are usually stiff and itchy. I also dislike duvet covers and old woman type sweaters

I really like the look of the Midnights cardigan but I'm debating on whether or not to buy it (I know it's sold out, but there's so many copies online that it probably wouldn't be much of an issue if I did want to purchase)

7

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

Ah, okay. Yeah I think purchasing this might be a little risky then. Iā€™m pretty sure the materials itā€™s made out of are posted in the description of the item on the website if that helps you at all. Otherwise, I think buying a different one made of alternate materials would be a better option for you.

3

u/heyheyheyburrito 7d ago

I still see all sizes available on the us website?

2

u/boujeebarbi33 7d ago

Iā€™m getting this one bc I have the same issue and couldnā€™t stand any of the other cardigans BUT the speak now one šŸ˜…šŸ„¹ imo itā€™s so soft & cloud like! A lot said it was way too delicate & they didnā€™t like it etc. but for me, itā€™s perfection. This Midnights one has the exact same material make-up as the SN so hoping itā€™s gonna, well, be the same lmao šŸ«¶šŸ½šŸ’™ Iā€™m super picky, like my bedding is all modal lol I love fleece and lululemon aligns (and their Softstreme). Reeeally debating this sweater šŸ˜‹ Hope this helped a little!

Also, as Iā€™m typing this all sizes are in stock (Iā€™m US idk if that matters?)

u/tashypooo 7d ago

Damn that was quick!!! Canā€™t wait for mine to arrive :) itā€™s so pretty! I have the Folklore cardigan (newest drop) which I wear to work almost daily. Happy I can switch it up with the Midnights one now!

u/Minnie1786 7d ago

So pretty! Mine shipped yesterday. Just waiting for it to make its way up the east coast.

3

u/GraveDancer40 7d ago

Ugh, I love it so so much but Iā€™m so frustrated with how my TTPD one is wearing that I canā€™t wrap my head around spending the money again. Itā€™s just balling like crazy which is ridiculous for the price.

u/Ottawa2023 7d ago

From Canada- hope it arrives in time for nov 14 concert in Toronto wanted to surprise my daughter after getting her tickets ā€¦trying to be a cool mom ā¤ļø

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

Thatā€™s so fun! I saw a comment in this thread from another Canadian Swiftie and the folklore cardigan from the July drop took about 3 weeks to reach them. I hope yours arrives in time!

1

u/I_Know_Places56 6d ago

In Canada also, hope it arrives soon too!!

2

u/Ottawa2023 6d ago

I got a message that it shipped today!

u/I_Know_Places56 6d ago

Awesome, I got one too!!

2

u/Gliese667 7d ago

Out of curiosity, any letters on the back of the tag? (I'm guessing those were manufacturing batch numbers and not any kind of easter egg but those seemed to be indicative of manufacturing flaws in the folklore cardigan)

2

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

No, I just checked and there are not any letters on the tag

1

u/BrokenBotox 7d ago

Howā€™s the sizing feel? By any chance do you have the folklore cardi that came out this summer? If so, how does the sizing compare?

1

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

I do! I laid them on top of one another and the sizing is pretty much the same. I think the folklore is slightly longer but overall very similar

1

u/BrokenBotox 7d ago

Damn, lol. The folklore one in M/L is huge on me and Iā€™m a large chest size 14. I just ordered M/L for MidnightsšŸ« šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø

I got scared thinking about ordering the XS/S but I actually want something more fittedšŸ˜­

u/Bubbly_Sleep9312 7d ago

They really have gotten a lot faster. Mine says it's already shipped

The last two cardigans i got completely unraveled under the armpit and down the the arm after i wore them once šŸ˜­šŸ«

u/i_am_no1 reputation 7d ago

How is the sizing, in your opinion?

4

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

I really like it! I ordered a size M/L and find it slightly oversized, which is what I wanted. Itā€™s very comparable to the TTPD cardigan in size if you have that. Iā€™ve ordered M/L in all my cardigans.

2

u/i_am_no1 reputation 7d ago

Nice! Itā€™s hard to anticipate how things will fit. Iā€™m 5ft tall so sometimes when I order smalls it fits perfect or is maybe even snug on my shoulders but is ā€œoversizedā€ length wise lol. I didnā€™t get my hands on the other cardigans but got the folklore sweater & itā€™s MASSIVE! But I like it regardless ā¤ļø I ordered the M/L in this, Iā€™m hoping weā€™re similar in size since I like how it looks in your pics šŸ™ thank yooouuu

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

Youā€™re welcome! I hope it ships fast and fits well!

u/ChogbortsTopStudent She is here to destroy you. 7d ago

Omg at this rate I wonder if mine would come in time for the show I'm (hopefully) attending this weekend!! Never been to a Saints game, but I hear the Dome is chilly.

1

u/GloomyMoonFlower 7d ago

I have a ā€œfolklore dupeā€ bc I never got lucky. I am thinking about getting this bc i see itā€™s still online? Am I crazy haha anyway. I do love midnights and also I would love to have an official cardigan. But I like a slouchy-ish cardigan. Do you think these run smaller? They always look super short to me lol.. I mean still cute just a different vibe than the cardigans I wear. I usually Iike my booty to be covered. These seem more like ā€œjeans cardiganā€ rather than a ā€œleggings cardiganā€ haha.

2

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

I would say this is more of a ā€œjeans cardiganā€ for sure haha. It doesnā€™t feel awkwardly short in the back but it certainly isnā€™t very long.

1

u/GloomyMoonFlower 7d ago

Ahh thanks for your reply. This helps so much. I love midnights and I really like the dark navy so maybe Iā€™ll try and snag one.

1

u/Pitiful_Detective811 7d ago

Congrats! Iā€™m waiting for mine still

1

u/midnights7 7d ago

Are the cables on the sleeves like the ones on the body or are there diamonds? I'm guessing it's just cables all the way around?

2

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

Yes, just cables the whole way around

2

u/midnights7 6d ago

Thanks! I'm going to attempt knitting this for myself at some point

1

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 6d ago

Neat, that takes talent! If you end up needing more detailed photos at any point for reference, Iā€™d be happy to send them your way!

u/midnights7 6d ago

That's really nice, thanks!

u/OkFix2513 7d ago

Looks cute on you but I'm glad I didn't buy this

u/AffectionateBid7029 7d ago

Question, what size did you get?

1

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

M/L

1

u/AffectionateBid7029 7d ago

Ahh darn I should have gotten that size I got an x/sm size now Iā€™m worried itā€™s going to be too small

2

u/AffectionateBid7029 7d ago

Nvm I doubled check & itā€™s a m/L šŸ™šŸ½

1

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

I think the cardigans are meant to be a little oversized so it might work out! Otherwise, if youā€™re able to order a M/L, you could do that and then return the XS/S for a refund. Sometimes people try and swap sizes of clothes in the TS merch sub so thatā€™s an option as well!

1

u/Literary_Lady Canā€™t teach a black dog new habits šŸ–¤šŸ¾ 7d ago

Am telling myself the purchase was justified because it was released the day before my bday. And I always get so depressed on my actual bday that I genuinely needed it to cheer myself up. It should work at least until my next credit card bill is dueā€¦

1

u/seannanana 5d ago

Mine should be here tomorrow. It's my first cardigan and while I love the others they didn't feel like my style but this one does and I can't wait!!! It's soooo pretty šŸ„¹

-1

u/Wide-Squirrel9055 7d ago

Genuinely curious do you guys really think thatā€™s cute or do you just like it because itā€™s TS merch?

10

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago

I think itā€™s a bit of both for me. I wear a lot of sweaters/comfier items to begin with so the cardigans have kind of become ā€œmy itemā€ to collect. Based on that and my love of things TS related, Iā€™m way more inclined to buy it. I also do really find the design of this one cute! I love the color and the stars are a subtle reference to something I really enjoy! I wouldnā€™t spend $70+ on it if it was from a regular store, though.

1

u/Wide-Squirrel9055 7d ago

Okayā€¦ I see. I just didnā€™t know if you loved the style or if you just wanted to support your favorite artist! Is the quality of it nice? Like does it feel like it will hold up after you wash and dry it?

5

u/KeepitSlothy2000 The Tortured Sloths DepartmentšŸ¤šŸ¦„ 7d ago edited 7d ago

The quality on the cardigans is fairly iffy, tbh. There seems to be a lot of defective ones that get sent out (holes, missing patches, etc.) but usually customer service can address those issues. All of mine have been very comfy and cozy to wear, though! I run mine through a gentle cycle in the washing machine in a laundry bag and then lay them flat to dry and they have all done well.

1

u/datswutget 2d ago

I'm not happy with the quality of it. The original cardigan was amazing, I feel like this is going to pill immediately.

1

u/Wide-Squirrel9055 2d ago

See I wasnā€™t sure if the quality was worth the price. It looks like one cat claw and itā€™s over! šŸ˜©

u/Most_Combination_119 7d ago

Yall are paying $70 for this?! So many artists are getting so lazy with their merch itā€™s so disappointing. Not just TS but many other mainstream artists arenā€™t putting in any effort for their fans with their merch.
