Los Angeles-based fashion imprint 100 Thieves introduces a look at its new Pokémon collection that is set to launch on February 10th. The brand joins the anime franchise with an expansive range of streetwear, outerwear, and more. It is led by the varsity jacket that is. made with the contributions of Golden Bear Sportswear. The beloved Pikachu is seen on a half-zipped sherpa pullover followed by a sleek black foundation.
Another notable piece is the nylon jacket with waterproof elements and triple layered build -- this is detailed with motifs nodding to Blastoise. Charmander enters the collection on a knitted cardigan accented with co-branded accents and Charizard is seen decorating a pair of corduroy pants. Rounding out the capsule are hoodies with emblems of Gengar, Venusaur, Blastoise, Charizard, and Pikachu.
