Someone recently sent us Frank Sinatra’s tour rider.

Needless to say, times have changed.

Swipe to compare Sinatra’s dressing room demands with THE THE’s Ensouled tour rider from 2025.

A note for those of you in the EU.

From 1st July, new customs charges on parcels valued under €150 will increase shipping costs for many orders. As the charges are applied per product type rather than per parcel, orders containing multiple different items may incur multiple fees. Unfortunately, this is not a cost that small independent businesses can absorb.

If you’ve been considering a purchase from the official store, you may wish to do so before 1st July while we work on a solution.

Sad to hear this, John Claridge's captures of a London now gone are extraordinary..so inspiring, rest in peace

[THE THE @thethe]

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend the legendary photographer John Claridge. A bon viveur and a kind, warm, funny and talented man, John was a customer of the Two Puddings back in the 1960s. He photographed us for 'The Comeback Special' tour and we also used a photo of his for the cover of our new book 'Cognitive Dissident'. Rest In Peace John. You are sincerely missed my friend.
