Pokemon-Based Formal Wear Is on the Way
A new collection of dress shirts by Japanese apparel maker Original Stitch contains designs based on the original 151 Pokemon that made their first appearance in Pokemon Red and Blue.
The shirts were made in collaboration with The Pokemon Company and are designed to look formal from afar. But a closer look reveals their Pokemon-based patterns. From Cubone sprites to Pikachu napping on Snorlax, the shirts offer plenty of interesting designs. In addition, shirts can be customized and made to order, which options like men’s and ladies’ cuts, button colors, and collar space. You can also pick patterns for pockets, cuffs, and collar trim, meaning each shirt will be unique.
The shirts will be available for online purchase worldwide starting in February and priced at 10,000 yen, which is around 90 USD. If you can’t wait, you can order the shirts between January 26 to 28th, but you’ll have to choose from a limited selection of pre-release designs.
