Classic Arcade Hero Attire

The Mega Man Hoodie Hides a Mega Blaster Up its Sleeve

— September 17, 2012 — Fashion
The Mega Man hoodie is a playful piece of merchandise that is great for grown-ups who just want to be kids. The hoodie is the product of a collaboration between video game company Capcom and Japanese clothing company Punk Drunkers.

The hoodie comes in traditional blue-on-blue Mega Man colors. Up the left sleeve of the hoodie is a hidden Mega Blaster that you can use to blast your enemies (with the help of your imagination). The hood is shaped like Mega Man's helmet to complete the look.

This sweater may be a bit too much to wear every day, but for special occasions, or if you are just young at heart, this piece of attire is just what the doctor ordered.
