the fett one is sweet. you only look like a half tard cuz it isn't a full zip up over your face like the storm troopers full tard style.

@EvilPaul: I found out afterwards, but he was at the Warped Tour when it came to my neck of the woods. I always told my Ex I wanted him to do our wedding. Hrmmm, that could explain the whole ex part.

Pretty cool. You've been able to buy full-zip hoodies for years though. They're pretty bad if you're the sort of person who pulls a zip hard, until it stops, because you cut your neck. Like getting your balls stuck in your fly.

@tridtaei:

with free shipping on orders over a 100...balls to that

TheMagicSheep

Not exactly my style, but I vote "good idea" on this on.

@tridtaei:
Tempting, but I don't think this hoodie is 5 times better than a $20 hoodie from Target.
At $50, I'd be all over this. I guess I'm more cheap than geek.

@svgjjc: In that case, it'd probably be considered "friendly fire"

Boba Fett is actually pretty sweet

[ecko.imageg.net] but for $98 bucks I'd rather buy some new bike parts and some espresso, and just run about making speeder sounds on my bike. I can pretend the cars are AT-AT's! pew pew!

...yeah, i'm tired and the afternoon has officially hit a lull.

Holy Nerdgasm!

$98! But I want it sooooo bad. Guess it's time to put in overtime

Wow they have some other hoodies that look ghetto-ish like the one with the trooper masks on the back and the one with Lord Vader's helmet in the back and omg the one with the "tropper tattoo". Ugh...

RE-L

@Notch Johnson: Anyone who tries to rob a bank in this hoodie should automatically get away with it. First time only tho.

And I will award them an interwebz trophy.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: N/M about the front back comment. I just did a big zoom on the website, and saw it has mesh over the eye holes. It's even sweeter now, but I'd worry about getting it dirty. Any chance for a 501st version? In blue, I am like the wind.

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: There is a close up photo on the shopecko website and you can see that the "eyes" are a black mesh so I guess you're supposed to see through there?

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: Lol this is the front. I just saw the back picture on the site. I'm wondering that myself.

RE-L

So is this the back or front? If it's the front, how are you supposed to see?

As for the Boba Fett one, it completely fails. It doesn't have jets! How am I supposed to finance my Vette?

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: That was hilarious! The first trooper sounded like William H. Macy.

balloondoggle

@RE-L: I kind of like the Fett one, but there are some generic -dare I say- Hot Topic-esque designs here.

Solaricide

That is actually super tempting. Although the nerd in me would much rather become the Fett if I get cold.

BurstAneurysm

@Solaricide: Well he did ghetto-ize some of the hoodies. Just check out the others (Troopers and Vader).

RE-L

GODDAMNIT! My hatred of Mark Ecko, tool bag supreme (by Magnificent Bastard standards) and ignorant video game hypemachine, and my love of classic Star Wars are at conflict within me.

Solaricide

sick.

CharitableNinja

If anyone is planning on buying this be sure to put in the discount code FACEBOOK08. It saves you $25 on orders over $100. So in order to use it you need to buy something else. I picked up a nice pair of jeans from the clearance section and ended up spending less than if I just bought the hoodie without a code. This was enough justification for me to satisfy my geek urge, because a $50 pair of jeans and a $50 hoodie is not unreasonable.

PingMaster

@Solaricide: although I hate Hot Topic, I think Ecko is more along the Zummies/Journeys/d.e.m.o. lines.

TK-421, Why are'nt you at your post? TK-421?

Is the Boba Fett sweater the one with the fishbone emblem?

ripfire

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. . . some one is laughing thire @$$ off at the moron who purchased this.

Notch Johnson

Amusing they made the shape of the armor parts by putting some material in the proper spots. I thought the Fett one had a full "T" face cover? Swore I saw one that covered the full face. I'd get the Fett one since it'd fit me best- me being most the time the extremely quiet kid who growls something every once in a while (and gets into incredibly stupid predicaments despite intelligence).

Mr.Wilson

Addendum: [ny.metro.us] The whole thing is too awful not to read.

Solaricide

@cvpunk: I know, but as much as I appreciate the self-made man, Mark Ecko is every poseur's wet dream. Wealthy, but not too much in the smarts department's as far as actual (geek) culture goes. His promotional instincts are something suspect -hoaxes and virals and spending too much money just to look like a philanthropist.

His philosophy on gaming is something approaching mental illness.

[www.penny-arcade.com] His quote (halfway down the page) is probably the only thing I can think of when I see his designs

Solaricide

i hate what marc ecko has done to graffiti. fucking sellout. this sweater is ugly btw.

fatASCurtis

The "by" in by Marc Ecko must mean adjacent to because Marc Ecko doesn't design a single thing for Ecko anymore. He just takes credit. Both of these hoodies are retarded because in case you haven't noticed Star Wars is lame now. It was cool in the 80's and is lame in the 00's. Thanks George.

RoboChop

@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy-->: For those living in some sort of style cave this is a trend in hooded zip ups. The front zips up to the the top of the hood hiding your face. Most however have no way of seeing once zipped up. Thank A Bathing Ape for this trend.

RoboChop

@tridtaei: Yeah I ordered the Fett one with a clearance shirt for like $130 then free shipping and I found a code for $25 bucks off orders over $100 (FACEBOOK8 it is expired now). So in the end a hoodie and long sleeve thermal shirt for $105.

Still pretty high but at least I feel like I did something to make it suck less.

Kharnellius

WTF Mate?!
I went to the Ecko site yesterday after seeing this article and decided 'Hey that Boba Fett sweater is bad ass my g/f should gets it for my birfday."

Now I go today and they don't even list the stormtrooper or the boba fett on the site anymore, just lame wierd designy ones....and now my birfday is ruined!!!

Anyone else not seeing the good products anymore? Were they really THAT limited an edition?

ice_cold_irony

@ice_cold_irony: I'm in the same boat :( If it's anything like the Boba Fett For Real hoody, they are limited to 300 units. Keep an eye on Ebay for them to show up... It's how I got the Boba Fett hoody eventually.
