It seems like pretty much every big game of every era had a jacket made for it. From Lettermen jackets in the States to sukjans in Japan. From early arcades and Atari to current gen. Many of these are super expensive or hard to find so not something I’d probably ever own myself, but they sure are neat to look at. I thought about making this thread about clothing or merch in general, but i think there's more than enough to cover with jackets alone.
Would love to see some of your favourites! Bonus cool-points if you actually have one!
thanks to your tumblr archive, i was able to find the Kirby 25th anniversary one i wanted really badly a few years ago but couldn't find or afford! always loved the colors on this one [upl-image-preview url=//i.imgur.com/uCxwPO3.png]
I can‘t find the sonic jacket that I actually wanted… I think I saw it in a store somewhere. I don’t own a lot of game clothing, and what I do have is mostly t-shirts (I missed out on a devil‘s crush t-shirt auction a while ago). I tried to look for that sonic one and didn’t find it, but I did find this? I'd probably wear it.
@exodus#2496 Sonic probably had the most jackets of any one property. I need to go back and re-tag some of the older posts properly.
I think I like this Sonic 2 one best.

I’d rock that Super Mario tie. Not sure about the rest…
What about fashion brand collaborations?
The [Death Stranding x ACRONYM](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/acronym-death-stranding-j1a-gt-jacket/) one tried hard at looking like you could have seen it inside the game.
I always thought of these jackets as perpetually out of stock and therefore unattainable. Only just now have I found out that a lot of online stores still have new ones in stock. Sadly none that I was interested in buying, but these links might be useful to someone in this thread.

Unfortunately, but THE KING OF GAMES' Splatoon Sukajan has gone out of stock, but the rest of the collection is also pretty fresh: [https://shop.editmode.jp/c/2/sort/category/disp/20](url)
