My favorite so far. I haven't gotten any of the Threads decks yet... this might be the one

Argh! Prepare to be boarded matie!

It isn't my style, but I can definitely appreciate this one as well.

I love this. I'm a big Pirate theme fan and one of my favorite series was the Black Sails. This will be my second Threads + deck, first was the Dinosaur themed threads

I absolutely despise the pirate design for the shirt, lol; works as a back design for me though. The courts are always standard with modified colours, right? Same aos and jokers with every edition, correct?

I bought two Kings Wild decks this year. I'm waiting for the rest of the Pi series.....

Unsurprisingly, already sold out Grabbed a deck! For $25 the Threads decks are too pricey IMO, I'll have to really like another design for me to buy another. Still happy with these

$25 is a threads deck?
I just bought some Uusi Classic for $20/$22 as a reference. And that already feels expensive but due to the weak dollar and exceptional, original artwork (compared to all remix from Jackson here) from uusi I'm not complaining there.
Shit's weird, I guess I should stop thinking about prices too much lately.

Definitely should not stop thinking about prices haha but prioritization is what I do. There is a small discount if one gets both the deck and the shirt $25 is pricey, sure but here the pirate theme suckered me in. Any Black Sails fan here? A part of the back design and print of the shirt is similar to the pirate flag flown by Captain Flint!

Arghhh! Internet issues meant I got the shirt but not the deck; breaking my streak. I'll put a thread in the right forum in a few days if nobody is forthcoming, but if anyone has a sealed spare -- ping me and let's see if we can come to a deal.

Not sure I get the appeal of these decks. Plain tuck with a shirt sized cutout with card fronts that (I assume) are KWP standard courts for $25? I guess it must be the limited print run that is part of the appeal but it's not for me.

Interestingly I love patterned shirts like these but none of them has yet to tick any boxes for me. That said I would be more likely to get a shirt than a deck of cards if the right pattern hit (and the shipping wasn't astronomical).

Hmm, those aren't standard KWP "fat pip" courts, more like a combination of Table Players and some of the work he did for Three Stooges (might be some other designs in there as well). Kinda like them, but not for $25.

Well, Jackson has several sets of standard courts/pips. These look like his standard ones where the fat pips are a more vintage looking set.

Those are what he used since Tally-Ho, Verum Videre and Six Foot Five times. Joker is from Edred the Gizzard and aos from Table Players.

If you buy one deck with a shirt, the price of the deck drops to $15. Still a little pricey for what is essentially a modified-standard set of faces with backs to match the shirt (and a standard tuck), but I always pick one up and I enjoy having them. My sister saw this month's release and really likes the pattern, and she liked the deck when she saw it (she's not a collector, so she's not aware of all these nuances), and when I offered to get her a shirt, she asked me to get her a deck, too, so... YMMV.

I've been liking the shirts. High quality; colorful patterns.
