October’s Loot Wear, The Horror Collection, came emblazoned mainly with the tools of monster killers: not only the guns, bats, swords, and crossbows of AMC’s The Walking Dead, but Shaun of the Dead‘s non-standard weaponry–cricket bat, spade, and tossed 33 1/3 vinyl records–as well as Edward Scissorhands’s fingers, which are a danger not only to the villains of the piece, but to himself and others.
My favorite Tim Burton movie is Edward Scissorhands, and for that reason, my favorite item in The Horror Collection was the Loot for Her exclusive Edward Scissorhands raglan made by Loot Wear. Lettered with a quote from Tim Burton’s film–“Hold me…I can’t”–between Edward’s iconic scissor hands, It’s a great looking women’s shirt, and feels light, airy, and comfortable as well.
Also extremely cool was the exclusive Shaun of the Dead T-Shirt made by Loot Wear, which shows the film’s iconic cricket bat and spade crossed over a vinyl record–all of which can be used to kill zombies, as you saw in the 2004 film. This shirt will be a hit with horror buffs, film fans, and even record collectors, as that one scene is probably the most famous non-standard use of vinyl records in a movie.
Those looking to add to their cold weather wear will be excited to own the exclusive Alien long-sleeve T-shirt made by Loot Wear. The gray and teal cotton shirt is decorated with the Weyland Yutani Corporation logo as well as the USCS Nostrom 180286 ship’s logo. Long-sleeved garments like this would be popular with ship’s crew on frigid spaceships, and they’ll also serve to keep an Alien fan warm.
Loot Socks subscribers received two pairs of exclusive footwear: Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas crew socks, made by Bioworld, as well as AMC’s The Walking Dead socks made by Loot Wear. Both socks are attractive and look comfortable, although I prefer the design of The Walking Dead socks because the weapons have that 8 bit / ugly sweater look due to their knit pattern.
Loot Wear’s October goodie bag was not only notable for being Horror themed, but there was also a new feature added to the subscription service: Loot Undies ($8.99). The inaugural Loot Undies had the same print as on the Walking Dead Loot Socks, except the art was transferred to polyester/spandex boxer briefs. Interestingly, the transfer looks a lot different on the briefs, with the white of the weapons being brighter, and the image having more definition.
Because of the addition of Loot Undies to the monthly Loot Wear fashion runway, there are now five individual subscription services, and two bundles–one of which has changed as well. While The Loot Socks + Loot Wearable bundle is still available, the second bundle is now “The Risky Business Bundle,” which includes the Loot Tee, the Loot Undies, and a pair of Loot Socks for a very affordable $16.98. “The Risky Business Bundle” will no doubt be very popular with cost-conscious visitors to the site, especially in December, when that bundle has a very popular grouping of franchises.
Currently, Loot Wear is taking marching orders for The Revolution Collection, which ships this December, and promises to overthrow mundanity with fashions from the following entertainment franchises: the Loot Undies and the Loot Wearable will be Rick and Morty; the Loot Tee will be Invader Zim; the Loot Socks will be Guardians of the Galaxy and Mr. Robot; and the Loot for Her will be Spider-Gwen. Rick and Morty fans that are curious about the Loot Wearable can find a teaser in this Loot Wear facebook post. You can place your order for The Revolution Collection through this link.
