Spotted on the Internet last week: a gallery of fake cereal box designs, most with a sugary, pop culture twist. Some of these have likely appeared previously on HYA, but two of my faves are posted below; you can see the rest here or by clicking on the image squares below.

“New” at 80s Tees this week: the original Cobra Kai karate gi worn by Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) in 1984′s The Karate Kid!

The price, you ask? A cool $100,000! (It’s not exactly high fashion, but you would have a trump card come Halloween…)
More about the garment, from the product’s official descrip:
This Cobra Kai gi was worn by William Zabka’s character Johnny Lawrence during filming of the 1984 movie The Karate Kid. We obtained the gi on eBay from a collector who purchased the gi from ReelClothes.com. The gi comes with a framed Certificate of Authenticity from ReelClothes.
Kevin Stecko, the founder of 80sTees.com bought the gi because he always wanted to wear an authentic Cobra Kai gi for Halloween. We used this gi to create copies which we sell as our Exclusive Movie Quality Cobra Kai Costume.
As you may be guessing by the price our goal is not really to sell the gi as much as it is to put it out there for the world to appreciate. The Karate Kid is Kevin’s favorite movie of all time and he wanted other fans to be able to see this amazing piece of 80s movie history.

There are t-shirts and then there are t-shirts. Take the design below from the house of Hermès, which costs a whopping $91,500 and is available for purchase at the brand’s flagship store in NYC…


Sales tax, mind you, will add $8,000, all of which brings to mind that old adage: if you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it.

I’m not the breeding type, mind you, but if I did have twins, they would be required to wear these shirts every day.

Le sigh…

The pic begs the question: is he an honest fan or is this savvy placement by a Hollywood stylist? Weigh in with a comment below!

Pee-wee’s iconic ensemble, reimagined as a skinsuit for the shaved legs, road rider-set. Geek chic for the podium finish?

Must admit: this would make for a boss costume tee. Come on Internet, let’s make it happen!

AFT’s design of the day is a bit of faux branding packaged around a Back To The Future reference (no complaints there) and distressed for effect.

Here’s a closer look at the design thumb:

On a related note, here’s a fully-functional DeLorean, complete with its very own flux cap and refashioned as a NYC taxi cab! Can this thing get up to 88 MPH on the streets of Manhattan?

The retro reproductionists at Found Item Clothing are at it again. The target of their screen lust this time: Snake Plissken’s tank top from Escape From New York, which features no print and is accented only with a pair of aluminum zippers that run across the clavicle, making it, without doubt, one of cinema’s most curious garments.

What function do the zippers serve? One can only marvel at the possibilities…
On a related note, FIC has also developed a head-to-toe costume tutorial for said character. It’s pretty boss and you can peep it here or by clicking on the image below.

Compare with a couple of screengrabs from the film, embedded below for easy reference.

The second design, Donkey Hoth, channels elements from The Empire Strikes Back through the Donkey Kong template, complete with Han Solo mounted on a tauntaun as the one-armed wampa above contemplates the virtues of a diet rich in Jedi nutrients.
