The lack of good video game apparel.

Basically, I've been trying to find a decent looking Bowser hoodie and belt buckle but it seems everything is aimed towards general nintendo merchindise. Where can I go to find clothing for a specific character? I know I can have a custom made but those are usually poor quality , so I'm saving that as a last resort. Discuss?

Find a local metalworking/fine arts shop/studio. A good place to go is an art studio that does fabrication(One who creates/shapes/modifies items made of metal.) If you find a high quality sketch/idea what you want as a belt buckle and you can pay their fee, then you can have an awesome belt buckle. If you want it colored, then again find yourself an artist that deals in the field.

Depending on who you find you might even let them do all of the work if they're really into Bowser.

That's my idea man, good luck with it.

I would say the Nintendo building in NY, but you live in CA.

They have a really awful "urban" style bowser jacket in right now. I pity any person who thinks it looks awesome.

any websites you could order them from?

Not video games in general, I happen to like the Headcrab hats that valve/steam markets and sells.

Still, I bet when release of brawl gets closer they will be giving out/selling stuff for more promotion, but if you are looking for real quality apparel, I would also suggest buying from a real store online, not a person on a store website (IE amazon marketplace > some guy on amazon)

Yeah I've looked but besides the HORRIBLE bowser jacket by Torrel and some random dude on ebay, nothing else has shown up. Darn italian steals all the limelight! Dont get me started on how Hot Topic was bad too. I thought maybe they might have something but no just some more random Mario merchandise.

Xanthyr is on the dot on this one. When you get it personally tailored to your specifications, not only will it look amazing, but you will be the only one with it. Art studios will make you a well made jacket or shirt and it will be original and fitted to your size. The only real problem with getting it tailored is the cost, but you probably won't find the cost too much of a problem since you're looking for a special character shirt anyway.
