Shimamura x Sailor Moon Hoodie Front
Let’s face it. While the new ramp up of Sailor Moon merch for the new revival series allegedly coming this winter is an amazing thing, not all merch is created equal. And, sadly, a lot of it has been expensive as hell and only available via online pre-order. But, this Shimamura “Style Up Collection” was available in an actual, physical store! Yay! Kinda. I’m half sure that the designer was inebriated when they made these things. I mean, look at the product line.

Believe it or not, all of these are sized for adults. Anyway, the prospect of seeing Sailor Moon stuff in a physical store before anyone else could get it online was exciting to say the least. They were supposed to come out at the end of November so after work on Monday I went! Nope. Not out yet. Damn. Stopped by on Friday again with hope in my heart and… they were almost sold out! Yay! I got the last hoodie. For real. I even checked another local Shimamura location. Nope. Less than a week and they were gone.

The fur in the hood is a great touch. And, the pattern is way more subtle than a lot of the things they’ve been putting out. My boyfriend still saw fit to tease me. But, who cares! I gotz the hoodie! Love that the zipper tab is a crescent moon.
