Marc Ecko, Boba Fett, Limited Editions and Of Course, Boobs

Normally, you wouldn’t catch me posting about Marc Ecko clothing. Mostly because I have no clue what his gear is all about. It doesn’t appeal to me. I’m a nerd: toys, records, tshirts. Not weird hip hop, street wear steez. But something funny happened in my daily ebay lurking. While searching out Star Wars toys, I came across this monstrosity of a hooded sweatshirt. You’ll immediately recognize the bounty hunter gear of Boba Fett. That’s right, that’s a hooded sweatshirt that resembles Boba Fett. You can even zip the hood ALL the way up. Yes, all the way over your face, to the top of the hood. Hopefully that mesh permits some vision. It’s certainly not as cool as one of the full on Boba Fett costumes, but it’ll do in a pinch if you get a last minute invite to an off day Halloween party.

You might be balking at the cost of this hood. I balk too. Apparently, for your collector nerds (don’t worry, I’m pointing a finger at myself too), this was a limited edition Star Wars series printed back in 2007. I guess that is enough to warrant the price? Not for me. And this picture wasn’t enough to get me to stop.

Thank god, fashion-bastion is a marketing genius. He knows what sells. And it worked. It got me to click on his auction. He can thank this picture… You can thank it too if you want.
