The following were made available to purchase on the Unkle War Stories Tour in 2007 and exclusively at the DPMHI store in London, with a limited run of silver posters available in an edition of 100 on the tour too.[1]

In 2008 UNKLE collaborated with James Lavelle's clothing brand Surrender to create the UNKLE x Surrender UK Tour Tee. This limited edition t-shirt was made available on the UK tour starting March 1st 2008 in London. The design was available in both a black and a white edition, with each colour available in only 60 editions each.[2]

In 2020 the War Stories Instrumentals were released on vinyl and new merchandise was also created. These six items included hoodies and t-shirts featuring the Surrender and UNKLE logos, photography by Will Bankhead, and the Hold My Hand Tee features the handwritten lyrics to Hold My Hand by James Lavelle on the back. Each of these screenprinted items were limited to an edition of 50, shipped with a signed and numbered tag and a pack of two stickers. The t-shirts were heavyweight cotton and cost £35 while the hoodies cost £75.

In February 2021 the glitter tee from 2007 was made available as part of UNKLE's "Arkhive Sale" and sold for £20. It was listed as 100% Cotton and made in Japan, with the note "We recommend that you hand-wash or machine wash on a cool delicate cycle and leave to try naturally."[3]

In October 2021 some left over stock was made available in UNKLE's Arkhive Sale 3. The Hoodies were £40 and T-shirts £20. In December 2021 stock was found in the USA and was made available for sale at discount in January 2022.
