Overview
If you’re a member of Rat Nation, you know the struggle: you see Theo drop a new episode of This Past Weekend, he cracks a joke about being the “rat king,” and suddenly you need a hoodie that says exactly that. But with so many drops, restocks, and limited editions, keeping track of the best merch can feel like trying to catch a greased-up possum. That’s why I’ve rounded up the top 10 Theo Von collector merch pieces every fan should have in 2026. These aren’t just clothes - they’re artifacts from the mind of the man who told us “you gotta be your own rat king.” And just this week, the official store restocked some old favorites and dropped a few new surprises, so now’s the time to grab what you’ve missed. Let’s get into it.The Top 10 Theo Von Merch Pieces
1. Rat King Logo Hoodie
You can’t call yourself a collector without the hoodie that started it all. The Rat King Logo Hoodie ($65) features Theo’s iconic crowned rat emblem screen-printed on a heavyweight cotton blend. It’s the piece that every Rat Nation member spots in the wild and instantly nods at. The charcoal gray colorway matches with everything, and the slightly oversized fit means you can layer it under a jacket for those cold nights waiting in line for a show.2. “Regular People” Tour Tee (2026 Restock)
Based on Theo’s 2024 special Regular People, this tee ($35) came back in stock just this month. The front has a vintage-style photo of Theo in his signature hat, and the back lists tour dates from his 2025 - 2026 run. It’s a wearable timeline of his comedy evolution. The cotton is soft but thick enough to hold its shape after a hundred washes.3. This Past Weekend Podcast Mug
For your morning coffee - or afternoon bourbon - the This Past Weekend mug ($20) is a must. It’s a 12-ounce ceramic with a minimalist logo on one side and a hidden quote on the rim: “Gang gang.” Drink from it while you catch up on episodes, and you’ll feel like you’re part of the conversation. The matte finish gives it a premium feel that’ll last through years of dishwasher cycles.4. Rat Nation Dad Hat
This isn’t your average cap. The Rat Nation Dad Hat ($30) comes in a dusty rose color (unexpected, I know) with an embroidered rat silhouette on the front. The unstructured fit and curved brim give it that worn-in vibe right out of the box. Theo wore a similar hat in a recent This Past Weekend episode where he talked about “keeping it low and slow,” and it sold out within hours. Fortunately, it’s back in stock for 2026.5. “Gang Gang” Long-Sleeve Tee
Gang gang is more than a slogan - it’s a lifestyle. This long-sleeve tee ($45) has the phrase distressed-printed across the chest in a retro athletic font. The black fabric is pre-shrunk and has a bit of stretch, so you can wear it to the gym or to a comedy club. Pair it with the dad hat for the full Rat Nation uniform.6. Limited Edition “Rat King” Enamel Pin Set
For the serious collector: a three-pin set ($15) featuring Theo’s face, a rat in a crown, and the words “Rat King.” They’re hard enamel with gold-plated edges, and they come on a backing card signed by the man himself (while supplies last). Throw them on a jean jacket or a canvas tote - you’ll become a walking conversation starter.7. “Theo Von” Personalized Dog Tags
Because every rat king needs ID. These metal dog tags ($18) are engraved with “Rat Nation” and your choice of a number (like your favorite episode number). They come on a ball chain and are a subtle way to rep the community. They’re also a great gift for the fan who has everything else.8. Rat Nation Camo Trucker Hat
Dropped earlier this year, the camo trucker hat ($35) combines a camo front panel with a foam mesh back. The embroidered rat logo sits above the brim. It’s perfect for outdoor adventures - or just walking around town looking like you’re about to lead a pack of rodents. Theo mentioned on the podcast that he loves “the weird colors nobody else wears,” and this hits that note.9. “This Past Weekend” Vinyl Decal Sticker Pack
You can’t collect merch without stickers to plaster on your laptop, cooler, or car bumper. This pack ($10) has six vinyl decals, including the podcast logo, a rat silhouette, and a “Gang Gang” bumper sticker. They’re UV and weather resistant, so they’ll survive rain and shine. Slap one on your water bottle and you’ve got a mobile ad for the best podcast going.10. Rat Nation Sherpa Blanket
Last but not least: the sherpa blanket ($55) that feels like wearing a hug from Theo himself. It’s 50”x60”, super soft on both sides, and features an embroidered rat emblem in the corner. Perfect for couch sessions listening to This Past Weekend or for keeping warm at an outdoor show. The cream color matches any decor, and it’s one of the few pieces that’s always in stock - but not for long if this article does its job.Where to Buy
