Bonus Geek Apparel: X-Wing Pilot Hoodie
 |
I know I usually only show one article of nerd clothing per week, but my buddy Shannan sent me this, and it was just too fantastic not to show immediately. A hoodie like an X-Wing pilot uniform? My god, that is nerdy. There is no way you can wear that and look at all cool. There’s just no pretending with that thing one. At best, people will just thinks it’s an overidesigned bright orange hoodie and that you have no fashion sense. Still, it’s almost awesome enough to justify its $150 price tag. But why will they not sell these to Mexicans? That not what the Rebel Alliance fought for, Star Wars Shop.
