Film + TV

14 pieces of band merch from the movies

by Mark Teo

Ever wondered where you can get an exact replica of Beavis’s iconic blue Metallica shirt? Or the Plumtree ringer tee Michael Cera wears in Scott Pilgrim? Us, too. That’s why we were amped to discover FilmGarb, a website that compiles the clothing worn in film and TV—then tells us where to find it online.

Up top, check the gallery of band merch spotted on the silver screen. Down below, FilmGarb has told us where to buy the merch (or at least passable replicas). We hope the site continues its good work—and hopefully, they’ll dig up some of the merch on The OC next.

Seth Rogen’s Huey Lewis shirt

This tee, taken from Funny People, can be bought directly from Huey Lewis and the News’ store.

Beavis and Butthead’s Metallica and AC/DC shirts

While you can’t purchase these shirts individually, you and a pal can get a pair of matching Beavis and Butthead band shirt on eBay for less than $30. What a steal!

Steve Buscemi’s Music Band shirt from 30 Rock

Steve Buscemi’s answer to those AB/CD baby bibs is the Music / Band tee, which is available on Amazon.

Robert Webb’s Sid Vicious tee from Peep Show

It’s not a perfect replica, but this tee on eBay has a similar design to the one featured on Peep Show.

Shia LaBeouf’s Strokes shirt from Transformers

Ah, the classic Strokes shirt. Shia sure knows how to choose ’em well.

Shia LaBeouf’s Ramones tee from Disturbia

Speaking of LaBoeuf, he was also spotted wearing the Ramones’ classic tee, which you can find at just about any mall world-over. Or, if you want to order one from the comfort of your desk chair, head here.

Johnny Simmons’ New Order Movement shirt from Scott Pilgrim

Even Scott Pilgrim vs. The World knows that Joy Division Unknown Pleasures tees are played the fuck out. Grab this Movement shirt instead.

Michael Cera’s Smashing Pumpkins “Zero” ringer tee from Scott Pilgrim

Sticking with Scott Pilgrim, Michael Cera wore a ringer-tee version of Billy Corgan’s “Zero” tee, made famous in the “Bullet With Butterfly Wings” video. We couldn’t find a ringer, but you can grab the shirt in plain black on eBay.

Michael Cera’s green Smashing Pumpkins heart tee from Scott Pilgrim

The other Smashing Pumpkins tee featured in Scott Pilgrim was a tri-blend green ringer tee. The exact one’s available on Amazon.

Michael Cera’s Plumtree shirt from Scott Pilgrim

Back with Amazon—how in the hell is someone selling Plumtree shirts? We’re so buying one.

Michael Cera’s CBC tee from Scott Pilgrim

The CBC’s webstore once sold grey logo tees, just like the one featured on Scott Pilgrim. They’ve discontinued those, but these patriotic red numbers should suffice.
