Halo Hoodie Practically Begs to be Teabagged

Owen Good — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 21:00:00 EDT

Without getting close enough to see the UNSC sleeve patch (or the obnoxious "NOOBS GET PWN3D" crest) , I'm not sure this $88 Marc Ecko-designed Halo-themed hoodie really says "Master Chief" to me. More »

Owen Good — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 19:20:00 EDT

Nike sent a size 10 love note to Sony for past collaborations on console-themed kicks, but this series, based on the face buttons of a PlayStation controller, might be a little hard to find. Only 24 pairs will be made. More »

Brian Crecente — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 12:40:19 EST

Sony today revealed that they have granted licensing agreements for some of their top games with four apparel companies.

Tetris Skirt Makes Me Resent My Penis

Mark Wilson — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:20:09 EST

Needless to say, men have it pretty good as far as general anatomical conveniences are concerned. But the trade-off of social stigmas regarding dress-wearing are starting to chafe now that we've found this Tetris skirt that goes for a mere $45 on Etsy. We recommend you find a girlfriend, relocate to Scotland, crush our post-Puritan social norms or, in the rare case that you are a actually a female who hasn't felt too ostracized by this post to stop reading by now, buy the skirt for yourself.

Mass Effect T-Shirt Back In Stock

Mark Wilson — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 14:20:50 EST

In news that may not matter to anyone but me, the Commander Shepard N7 armor t-shirt, originally created solely for the Mass Effect development team, has been out of stock since the game's launch. A quick visit to the Bioware store today and what do I find? Back in stock, baby. More »

Custom Crochet 1-UP Mushroom Scarf

Maggie Greene — Sat, 05 Jan 2008 15:30:00 EST

We've seen our share of Mario-related scarves here at Kotaku, but I've never seen one quite like this. It's the 1-UP mushroom, and unlike the knitted versions that make for your average scarf, this one is crochet. The scarf will set you back a cool $150, but it's hand crafted to order, so if green isn't your color, no worries. I do wonder if it's actually warm - but I guess something like this is more of a fashion statement than a utilitarian knit. More »

Nintendo By Torrel Now Available

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 17:20:31 EST

The Nintendo-licensed apparel by clothing brand Torrel that we told you about last month has formally launched, with an online store selling the Nintendo By Torrel line now live. The first line, which focuses on graphics lifted from Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario World, ranges from t-shirts at $50 to hoodies to jackets which top out at $200. Those who prefer to swim in their clothing will be quite comfortable, as the product runs up to XXXXL. Spindly wimps like myself who rock smalls in everything will be left cold, naked and wanting.

The Spore Dress

ataylor — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 23:49:22 EDT

Will Wright's SO was wearing a Spore dress, to his recent keynote at SXSW. Made by EA Germany, apparently, in a very limited edition for very, very close friends, but as she said, wouldn't it be nice if they made some more for general retail? More »

Real Women Wear Epics

ataylor — Sun, 11 Dec 2005 16:00:00 EST

There are 685 designs returned from a "World of Warcraft" search on CafePress.com. This tee here one is one of the least terrible - there's "rich thorium vein" printed on a pair of boxers in there, fgs. Hey, now I've told you, I've spared you the pain of looking through it all, right? More »

Non-Playable Breakout Watch

ataylor — Sat, 19 Nov 2005 16:56:32 EST

Again on the retro tip (and in slightly old news, but they've updated the pictures), Fossil have released this Breakout-themed watch. While the game isn't actually playable (boo) it's at least a watch that's wearable by adults who go to work. Unless you have the sort of job that means you can get away with wearing a vintage pink Nintendo Super Mario Bros watch, at which point we're really impressed. More »

Mario Mashed With Che

lsmith — Thu, 10 Nov 2005 08:40:17 EST

Pixelante Tees Almost Sold Out

ataylor — Sat, 29 Oct 2005 10:54:12 EDT

Those hip kids over at Straight Loop have recently posted up their totals to date for the charity Child's Play: $1,800, which isn't half bad for a first run of new tees on a new site! More »

20-Sided Die Necklace

ataylor — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 11:13:03 EDT

Make Your Own NES Belt

lsmith — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 13:41:50 EDT

The hipsters can probably make the NES belt buckle on their own, but now there's a kit to help the plebes make it. The "How-to" kit for crafting a NES Buckle doesn't include an NES controller so be ready to sacrifice one of your own. Finally you'll have something to wear at the next Franz Ferdinand show! More »

KOTAKU JAPAN: Stand Alone Watches

Brian Ashcraft — Wed, 13 Jul 2005 20:00:02 EDT

You ve played the PSP game, seen the Cartoon Network anime, and even read the manga. Still unsatisfied? Bandai s got a pair of swank Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex watches. Personally, as cool as the Section 9 wrist number is, I totally into the Laughing Man watch. They ve even got G.I.S. tees and neckties. If only Bandai would commercially unleash those spider-like robots from Stand Alone Complex to kick serious Aibo ass. Like most things here, this is "Japan-Only." More »

Retro Nintendo on your Wrist

smizek2 — Wed, 01 Jun 2005 15:45:51 EDT

In case you've missed a very large boat, the 80s are back, again, for a price. These Fred Flare found watches will set you back 60 ducats, but it's so worth it. So worth it! Only your online banking statement and you will know. Oh, and the guys who catch you in the alley and beat you to a twitching pulp for wearing a Donkey Kong watch after you hit 12. More »

More Katamari Damacy Crochet Hats

Brian Crecente — Mon, 14 Feb 2005 12:29:44 EST

The cute, hat-crocheting Katamari Damacy chick is back. Xiola s first Katamari Damacy-inspired crochet hat was met with such interest that she s decided to start selling a variety of the bumpy, 6-hour creations. You can pick up hats with seven dots and 3 colors for $45 or the more realistic, 8-dot, 5-color variety for $50. You can also order a custom creation. You can also try your luck at her auctions.

Dressed to Game

Brian Crecente — Mon, 31 Jan 2005 14:29:39 EST

Lots of companies make T-shirts, ties, heck, even underwear, for their games. But only Capcom pushes it up a notch by making replicas of their characters in game clothes available for purchase. You can buy Biohazard 4 Leon s long sleeve shirt, weathered blue jeans or even his belt on the site. If things get cold you can pick up a spiffy jacket or engineer boots. It s all perfect for that creepy game-obsessed stalker in your life. More »

Retro Goes Retro

Brian Crecente — Wed, 05 Jan 2005 02:48:23 EST

A day after declaring the Commodore T-shirt the ultimate in retro computer game wear, the writer at Preshrunk has changed his mind. The ultimate in retro wear is actually the Sinclair Spectrum 48K hoodie. The cutie in the hoodie almost has me convinced, but I stand firm on the TRS-80 shirt...either that, or an abacus tee. More »

Commodore T-Shirt

Brian Crecente — Tue, 04 Jan 2005 07:32:35 EST

Atari s out, Commodore s in. Vintage logo shirts are all the rage right now, but Atari is just plain tired and it won t be long until Nintendo is headed out the door. So where else is a t-shirt-wearing retro gamer to turn to but Commodore. I d love to find a TRS-80 shirt that doesn t completely suck, but until then I guess I ll have to settle for the Commodore shirt and my lime green Space Invaders T. More »
