Jan 17 2009You're So Oldschool!: A NES Controller Jacket
This NES Controller Varsity Jacket is available for $200* from 80'sTees and has a giant freaking NES controller on the back, hence the name. It's only being made in a limited edition of 1,000 and allegedly they're already running out of several sizes, so if you want one, you better act quickly. Same goes for if you want some of this. No, I'm serious -- my girlfriend should be back any minute.
*Tough guy not included.
Hit the jump for a closeup of the embroidered controller above the breast.

NES was never cool enough to make it to a clothing line. And now that is has, I'm not impressed.

Looks like they got the photo right with the correct marketing focus. A 29 yr. old that looks like he's been living in his parent's basement for the last 10 years and is going bald & forgot to put on his wig before heading off to work at Dairy Queen.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max had some hot chick in the back of his car, drunk, and brought her by some frends house to get photographic evidence. The geeky friends had head lights, and a fancy camera, but the picture they took was so bad you couldn't tell who was in it.

It would be much cooler if it had real NES controllers glued all over it. THAT would be Pimpin'!

This looks lame as hell. Speaking of lame as hell, tax time blows if you're single w/no kids... Bastards...

This kinda reminds me of that show, "Captain N", but he had a NES controller on his belt and not a crappy jacket.

Why are people saying its fake? lol
Its actually a real jacket.
They're selling it in a store called Mr.Golf Tee in the mall near my house for 200 dollars. My bf was going to buy it. Its actually not that bad looking.

If Seinfeld was still on the air Putty would trade his 8 Ball jacket for this one...

#15 Tammy,
Welcome to the internet

This coat is real. I saw this & several others @ Nintendo World last year. I bought a similar jacket, only it had Bowser on it.

Tammy-women that date guys who go to malls and buy NES jackets WOULD be named Tammy...
i guess if the neighborhood molestor gets tired of driving around his Turcel wearing his Ltd. Edition Loony Tunes jacket, then this is the the doc ordered.

Unless this jacket comes with a console that pops out of the front with a flat screen attached - like something that data from the goonies would wear - - fail

I want to buy this jacket for Gizmoduck. Then maybe she will be my friend :)
