Merging the store topics. Let's keep all the suggestions and comments in one place for now - so that none get lost. It's also important to note Hannah's comment - the FL store is limited by what Spreadshirt can provide. I was concerned this might get lost in the new thread - don't want hopes set up that will immediately be dashed!

This is lovely and I'm excited to share these ideas with the merch team (Paul on art and Kyra on design, if you're interested to know).
More responses from me:
Seeking-related designs: I know better than to introduce anything Seeking-themed lest people take it as A Sign. Maybe in future. 
All-over print: Spreadshirt can't cope with all-over print. The print areas on each design are pretty small. I would love an all-over print shirt myself!
Submitting designs: For now we're keeping all the design work in-house. It's complicated when using external artists' works on merchandise, even if they're initially willing to submit work for free. In the fullness of time, perhaps.
Whether we make more designs is also dependent on how sales go! It's a lot of work for a small team. I'm really excited by everyone's reactions though. Fingers crossed we can keep devoting time to this.

Yesssssss, I must have many of these. I also wholeheartily support additional merchandise, especially posters, as that should be farily easy to accomplish. I do have some more suggestions:
Replica First City Coins (sold singly, and not in packs of 30)
Fallen London Calendar, using header images for each month, and all sorts of holidays and events (Anniversary of the Fall, Anniversary of the Regretful Soldier's Campaign, that sort of thing)
Miniature Shrine to St. Joshua
'For Your Own Good' Compass
And, on the more pricy end, but well appreciated I think, would be FL-themed pocketwatches.

Sticker/Decals[/magnets] seem like a very good staring point for expanding the line (if those substrates are in the realm of possibility.) There is so much great/iconic art that people love. Instead of putting 10 pieces of art on 10 different items, make those 10 available as stickers, and people can put that art on their notebooks/water bottles/polo helmets, etc.

Zee-themed towels with Drownies or Lorn-flukes or something? Scarlet stockings a la Parlor of Virtue?

Actually, I'll switch those around a bit... I thought the animals would make great plushies, and the M__ B__/Tears of the Bazaar/irrigo seemed like they could be adapted into ThinkGeek-y baubles. But the Correspondence Stones and the NORTH shirt stayed the same.
There is already a Correspondence T-shirt and hoodie, by the way.

While those plushies and baubles would be amazing, I just want to note that t-shirts are the simpler option, hence my suggested medium. The Panther and Owl would probably need special art for the shirt though. Oh, and I'm aware of (and am ordering) the existing Correspondence shirt and hoodie - I simply want a shirt with a large sigil (the one I suggested is Almost Never Remembered iirc) rather than the small ones or single small 'hurtling forever towards the earth' one.

Shepherd's Timepieces perhaps? I don't recall any other specific watches.

Oh my gosh, the admins merged my thread in! Had to crack up when I noticed that.
Bummer about design submissions though - my friend says she's already sketched two ideas.

You know, to add to my earlier suggestion of Dilmun Club Lapel Badge and Red Feather Pin buttons, I actually think a whole series of buttons relating to some of the Neath's prominent factions might be cool. Maybe with little related quotes or slogans around the artwork (things like "Death to the Masters!" for the Revolutionaries' Red Feather Pin, or "All shall be well" for the Masters', which would probably have the Exception Hat seal on it). That way, people could proudly display their allegiances in real life (I'd totally buy the ones for Hell and the Masters).

New design in the store today! A shirt of mysterious and indistinct gender. (Also a mug, featuring the same.)

The new shirts are awesome but they should really also be available in "women's" cut . . . (I know, you'd think that would be counter to the spirit of the thing, but it really really isn't, that's the point.)

We were unsure, but you're right. We're on it. Edit: 'women's' cuts also available!
As an aside, Spreadshirt are quite reductive in the way they categorise the shirts. You'll note that our store is divided up by gender, and if we try to place everything into better categories then it starts complaining. We've sent feedback to Spreadshirt about that!

Hannah, that's awesome, thanks, and of course retail is terrible about gender divides, color me deeply unsurprised!

These are gorgeous.
I would enjoy pretty much every design in FL on tshirts, but particularly :
A WHOLE bound shark
The Tears of the Bazaar vial
A job add for the Scuttering Squad, along with their silhouettes ?
The kitten design that appears for "Back to writing..." and "grubby kitten"
"where are my sodding crickets ?" without an explanation
Anything Rattus-Faber or Guinea Pig related, these two concepts are infinitely enjoyable to me.
"River-rat, alley-rat, house-rat, church-rat. Boiled, fried, sautéed, grilled, seared. In buns, in pastry rolls, in pies, in stacks, on sticks, on a bed of mushrooms, on the rocks. It's a versatile creature, your rat."

It's a bit... out there, given the games timeline, but how about varsity jackets based on the University or maybe the Correspondence... wait, scratch that last one, it may catch fire.

I've bought the Correspondence shirt but would like something with a somewhat larger/more noticeable design. Perhaps some sort of correspondence-themed Department of ________ shirt?

That kitten with the "Back to writing..." words would be great on a mouse pad.
Would you please make some Velocipede Squad bicycle-related accessories like the water bottle or one of the backpacks or messenger bag (seeing what's available from Spreadshirt). I've been agitating for a top tube sticker or head tube badge for some time now but it looks like those are not available. I can't possibly be the only person on Earth who plays FL and is a diehard bike commuter.
