Mega Man Hoodie Has a Mega Buster on Reserve

Mega Man Hoodie

Hoodies based on video games aren’t anything new. But trust me when I say that these Mega Man hoodies are worth a second look, because it’s literally got a trick up its sleeve that could blow your mind away. (Sorry for all the puns, I just couldn’t resist.)

The Mega Man Hoodie is a product of the joint project between Capcom and Punk Drunkers, which is a Japan-based clothing company. I like how they’ve gotten the trademark Mega Man-blue hues on the hoodie just right. The best part? The left sleeve, which looks just like your typical sleeve–until it’s all rolled up to reveal a replica of Mega Man’s Mega Buster. The hood-slash-helmet also adds a nice touch to the entire hoodie.

The Mega Man Hoodie is priced at ¥14,700 (~$190).

Jeans Solve First World Problem With See-Through Smartphone Pocket

By David Ponce

Ever wanted to see who’s calling but were too lazy to reach into your pocket? Yeah, life can be hard sometimes. So that’s why we’re 100% behind the DELTA415 Wearcom™ jeans. Instead of putting your hand all the way into your pocket, you can just unzip a flap of material and reveal a plastic screen through which you can see your phone. Yes, you can even use your device while it’s still in the pocket, and there’s a special hole through which you can thread your earphone or mic. No, it’s not limited to the iPhone; any 3″ X 5″ or less device will fit.

It’s $160 for the pair, although it appears to be limited to people of more moderate proportions as the largest waist size is 38.

This Clothing Retailer Shows You The Number Of “Likes” Their Clothes Have Right On The Hangers

By David Ponce

In an innovative attempt to bridge the gap between the online and the real world, Brazilian retailer C&A has started to display the amount of “likes” each of their clothing items has garnered through their being on display on their website. They’re calling this initiative “Fashion Like.” Presumably this would help clueless customers know what is more popular, perhaps helping them reach a decision faster. We wonder however if this wouldn’t lead to some cannibalization between items. Wouldn’t articles with the lowest number of likes simply become increasingly unpopular, leading to fewer sales, in favour of the more popular ones? How much of a clothing retailer’s sales figures come from a certain percentage of patrons not knowing what to buy and just grabbing whatever is there?

What Your Crotch Needs Is More Keyboard

By David Ponce

Because designers have the best ideas, we sometimes get to look at products like the above pair of jeans. It’s the brainchild of designers Erik de Nijs and Tim Smit and it’s called “The Beauty And The Geek”. We think it should be called something else entirely, but we’re just not funny enough to think of what exactly. The point is that these jeans, which thankfully are more of a proof of concept than actual projected product, integrate a fully functional keyboard, mouse and speakers. Or rather, we should say that the designers don’t have the funding to make a project of this complexity take off. If they did, Erik and Tim figure the pants would retail for around $400.

We could make endless commentary on these and crack some jokes and what not. But we think the images speak for themselves.

Rechargeable Heated Gloves Will Keep Frostbite At Bay

By David Ponce

It’s as cold as a witch’s tit round these parts and extremities tend to suffer the most. Enter the heated gloves, which should make scraping ice off your windshield in the glacial weather just a little less painful. They’re powered by Lithium-Ion batteries and have 4 temperature settings. The lining is from 3M and there’s leather in the palm for grip and comfort. Water proof yet breathable, these gloves will cost a pretty penny: $159, thankfully reduced from $199.

Armani Suit Is Actually A Pyjama Suit. Why?

By David Ponce

So… this exists. It’s a suit. And a pyjama. It… is this like a men’s version of a maid’s outfit? Like… is that what’s going on here? I hear some women like men in suits, so, uh… I mean, why else?

There’s no price or availability at the moment, but these have been sold in the past. It might just be a temporary stock interruption. I just thought it was interesting to know that this, like I said, even existed…

Winter Drinking Mitts

By David Ponce

The cold is upon us but that doesn’t stop us from drinking. Up here in Canada, we like to go outside with beer in hand now and then so what better way to stave off frostbite than with the Scandinavian Skuuzie, a purpose made beer holder/mitten hybrid.

$29.

PJs With Jeans Printed On Them

By David Ponce

Why?

Just why on earth has this been created? They’re “100% cotton lounge pants [that] have an elastic waist with drawstring and side seam pockets.” Otherwise known as PJs. But they’re just awful. Why do they need to have these designs printed on them? Worst of all, why does the one on the right have to have that “boxers showing” look? Yeah… those boxers are painted on! Would anyone ever hope to get laid in one of these?

My eyes hurt.

It’s got to be a joke, but the $13 price seems to be real…

ThinkGeek Has A Drum Machine T-Shirt

By David Ponce

It’s a fully functional drum set in a T-Shirt, which comes with its own powered mini amplifier that clips to your belt and “goes up to 11.” Better yet, there’s a looping functionality with unlimited tracks and loops that can last up to 3 minutes. With 9 synthesized sounds like “Rock drums”, “Discotek” and “Scratchy”, you’ll be tapping your chest like a lunatic while laying down some rhymes in no time. Don’t believe us, check out the below video.

The shirt is washable as the electronics are removable and the best part is the price: $29. It’s currently out of stock but will be ready to ship on the 10th. That’s tomorrow, folks.
