Punk Drunkers Also Bringing Out Tees, Closer Look at Parka
Japanese skater clothing brand Punk Drunkers isn’t through with just the Rockman Parka, it seems. Hyoko Gadgienne reveals a pair of Rockman Tees as well. These will be coming to retail in early September, and cost ¥5,250 (roughly $67 US). Kinda stylish… I suppose, but the hands sure are weird, and I don’t think many people ever played Mega Man with a joypad. And frankly, still a bit too pricy IMO! Hit the break to check out more.
Meanwhile, Gadgienne also shows off some up close shots of the Rockman Parka introduced earlier this week. Hyoko writes that the hoodie seems to have a good feel for cosplaying. As reported before, this hoodie will be coming out in November with a hefty ¥14,700 price tag.
UPDATE: A new photo from Punk Drunkers reveals a little something interesting about the Rockman Parka. Apparently, that strange red bit on the left sleeve is buster related after all. When you pull up the outer sleeve, it becomes a Mega Buster! Just like Mega Man would (sort of) do it! Also have to admit this guy looks pretty silly.

Ugh. What is wrong with these guys…?
Ooooh! It’s a Japanese skating clothing company. Okay. I’ll give them a pass, then. Maybe Japanese skate culture is into this kind of thing…
Gotta say, I love that the designs on the hood are raised and stuffed. That’s a nice detail.
Yeah but the “Punkdrs” word scrawled across the shirt? I’ll pass on these thanks.
Yeah, to be honest I think these are still aimed at consumers of the Punk Drunkers branding, and not necessarily Rockman fans. In truth, Capcom of Japan actually has a lot of game related apparel made in collaboration with pricy name brands. Check out e-Capcom sometime and see for yourself.
Neither color scheme is not my taste, but the light blue with acid green and pink and the hands totally fit in with the young male fashion sense in Japan.
Nerd apparel doesn’t work the same way there as it does in North America – not at the cost of fashion anyway.

I’m assuming you meant joystick, as most everybody certainly did play on a joypad, but, come on, man. NES Advantage? You never abused your games with that rapid fire action?

I love Mega Man like any other person here, but I’d get beat senseless for wearing any of those.
…And is that the wild coil color scheme? O.0
WANT!
I will have to find a J-connection to help me get one of those bad boys. They’re available in Black as well…. (O_O)
