In 1998 Mo' Wax signed a new partnership with XL Records/Beggars Group, and new merchandise was produced. T-shirts here don't have a specific date, and while they are presumed to have been produced between 1998-2003 this hasn't been confirmed. Some of these t-shirts were released in bags with a MWT logo. Some of the t-shirts were restocked in 2004 via the Mo' Wax Mailorder website, including "MWT 001 - Mo'Wax Clockwork Orange", "MWT 002 - Mo'Wax Multi-Color", "MWT 003 - Mo'Wax Japanese", and "MWT 004 - Mo'Wax Block", with each available for £13 online and each order also came with a Mo' Wax bag. Unfortunately some of the images are no longer available, and it's unclear if the "wire logo" t-shirt is MWT 002, or another design, while there don't appear to be any images of MWT 003.
