merch drop / prayer hoods
November 16th, 2025
hello substack angels,
I am releasing my merch here on Substack and on Bandcamp to reward you all for migrating away from the hellscape that is the Meta Monolith and into long-form engagement with me and my work, my art, my life.
One of the difficult things about making handmade merch is that it can only be made in small batches. I kept selling out of them on tour before I had a chance to post them! So, here are the final batch of r∞L4nGc prayer hoods for sale, just in time for plunging temperatures. Each one is bleach-dyed with handwritten lyrics/prayers on the inside from my record respite and levity for the nameless ghost in crisis. They are also anointed with special oils to bless, protect, and warm the head and neck. Each hood comes with a QR code that links to a folder of unreleased Colin Self mp3s.
About the hoods:
In TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), the neck is considered the “energy bridge” of the body, essential for Yang energy to prevent physical stiffness, pain, and emotional stagnation from stress. As someone with a lot of neck, I started wearing these year-round after seeing teenagers and friends wearing the hood of hoodies. Since then, I’ve seen luxury incarnations, but I still prefer the DIY experience of using old hoodies and gifting the rest of the material to my friend Bridget O’Briensmith.
To purchase, please email colinselfstudio@gmail.com with your name, address, and which hood you’d like to buy. I will edit/remove photos from this post as they sell.
$75 / €64 (before shipping) with part of the proceeds going to my friend Mohamed and his family in Gaza. For Substack paid subscribers, the hoods are $30 / €25 (before shipping). Subscribers, please comment below with which one you want (ex. PH04).
EU orders ship on November 22nd.
US orders ship on December 1st.
All sales are final. No refunds or exchanges.

Hi! Just emailed also, but would love to snag PH01 if it’s still available 💫🫶🏻
These are beautiful. If it's available, I would love PH04. Should I email as well?
