For anyone interested.

Took six days to deliver. The Alchemy beanie was very comfy. From the description I thought it might be too tight fitting as most beanies are nowadays and I have a large head (giggity).

Both store and beanie get good ratings from me. 

Great that they are fast and selling quality stuff!!!!

The site has now also a discography section, looks like it's growing slowly.

They are adding things to the site... The timeline is quite cool with some very nice pictures on it, the discography section also looks well, with at least the info available on the sleeve records.

Discography section got a nice update with the singles section, with mention to b sides "Eastbound train", "Badges, Posters...", "Millionaire Blues" and "Kingdom come" with links to the streaming versions of them!

I think is nice that they are included as discography, not only the "long plays".

I ordered a beanie and t-shirt and they arrived very quickly.
The hat fits nicely.
The t-shirt(L) is absolutely huge and is more like an XXL!

In the discography, they included a small "Did you know" section inside each record...

Nice little detail.

There is information about Walk Of Life, no information about Private Dancer (Love Over Gold) 
My little thought

For me it's strange that they never listed who plays piano on the first DS album. According to Pick Withers, it was Mark.

Really? It wouldn't surprise me though since piano parts are extremely basic. I guess Mark Knopfler — guitars, vocals and PIANO would look strange to them

[KnopfleRick]

It is not strange at all that Mark is playing the piano.

it could also have been David as he learned piano during his childhood, and he plays piano on Portobello Belle on the Barbarella concert
and he is credited "keyboards" on the live at BBC (although I think it's a typo here)

it could also have been Muff Winwood

organ part during In the gallery chorus
and some little piano notes on Wild west end (intro and "chinatown" line)

My Gibson replica arrived in a very good package so I expect the same from our loved Canadians friends.

Very nice, so you have more Gibsons than me
