Original Trilogy-Themed Socks

As an extra stocking-stuffer from my parents this Christmas, I received this incredibly cool pair of Original Trilogy-themed socks.

I've always struggled to find men's Star Wars socks. In fact, these are the first pairs I've ever owned! As such. they'll make a very welcome addition to my wardrobe.

Star Wars Christmas Stocking and Santa Hat

I love holiday-specific Star Wars paraphernalia, and this Christmas my parents surprised me with a very cool stocking and Santa hat set featuring Darth Vader and a cadre of stormtroopers.

The hat went great with the stormtrooper Christmas t-shirt I got for my birthday, while the stocking joined the rest of the family's over the fireplace on Christmas Eve.

Stormtrooper Christmas T-Shirt

With Christmas only a couple of weeks away, it was rather apt that my parents also got me this excellent Stormtrooper t-shirt for my birthday!

I'll be rocking this all Christmas Day (and eve too, most likely). It's a nice match for the Stormtrooper Peekbuster ornament I also received for my birthday!

The Last Jedi T-Shirts

Walmart are now stocking a range of The Last Jedi t-shirts for the very tidy price of $7.50US ($10.90NZ) each. There's a variety of designs on offer - but I went for the simple Last Jedi logo, and the Rebel Alliance / Resistance emblem with X-Wings and A-Wings in the foreground.

I'm not completely sold on the golden / glittery print on the latter, but I'm expecting it to weather and wear after a few washes. The former will also go well with the Force Awakens t-shirt I picked up a couple of years ago!

Star Wars Blueprints T-Shirt

The final new addition to my Star Wars collection this Christmas was this very cool blueprints t-shirt that came courtesy of my girlfriend's parents.

The t-shirt feature schematics of a number of original trilogy vehicles, including the Millennium Falcon, an AT-AT, an X-wing fighter, and Darth Vader's TIE-advanced. It goes without saying that I'm going to be wearing the heck out of this one!

Star Wars T-Shirt Haul

To this day, the US still far outdoes New Zealand in its range and availability of Star Wars-themed t-shirts (at least, for males). For this reason, I took the chance to bolster my wardrobe a little while over in the US, adding three new Star Wars designs to my collection.

The first of these came from Target's standard $12.00US ($17.71NZ) range and features a stressed print of the Rebel Alliance symbol (perfect for a Rogue One premiere, maybe?) The second - simply featuring the Star Wars logo on a starscape - came from Walmart for $7.99US ($10.86NZ), while the third - adorned by four adorable Star Wars pixel characters - was a surprise find at a dollar store for only $3.99US ($5.73NZ).

Star Wars Logo Cap

You can never have too much Star Wars apparel, but one thing I've always been missing is any kind of Star Wars head gear. That changed this Christmas when I was given this fantastic Star Wars logo cap by my partner.

There are a number of Star Wars hats out in stores right now - but I particularly love how understated this one is, with the logo only being visible from certain angles. This'll no doubt get a lot of use over the coming months. It is, after all, the summer of Star Wars! (Well, at least for those of us here in the Southern Hemisphere.)

Star Wars 'Hyperspace' T-Shirt

Another birthday gift from my parents was this awesome Star Wars 'hyperspace' t-shirt. It's a simple design - but incredibly striking.

The only downside  is that it's made the decision about what to wear to the opening night of The Force Awakens even harder. I suppose I should get on to that - it's only seven days away, after all!

The Force Awakens T-Shirt

While in Houston, I also took the chance to pick up my first piece of The Force Awakens apparel. Target had a great range of t-shirts on offer for only $12.99US ($20.47) each, and I eventually settled on this particular one.

It's a simple design - but I like that, and I look forward to sporting it on a regular basis in the lead up to December 17th!

Stormtrooper T-Shirt

Last week, I hit up the Porirua K-mart and was pleasantly surprised to find a range of new Star Wars t-shirts on sale. For obvious reasons, I couldn't turn down this particular design.

Two other styles are available, one adorned with a classic Empire Strikes Back poster, and the other featuring Chewbacca and a familiar line from A New Hope. Each t-shirt is retailing for only $15.00.

The full range of Star Wars t-shirts currently available at K-mart. 

Presumably, this is only the beginning of an onslaught of new Star Wars clothing that'll be hitting stores in the lead-up to The Force Awakens. It looks like my wardrobe will be soon be expanding!

"Surf the Dark Side" T-Shirt

From my parents this Christmas I received this very apt "Surf the Dark Side" t-shirt.

I've found myself particularly partial to trooper-themed merchandise ever since completing my suit of Stormtrooper armour. With that in mind, this t-shirt will be perfect attire for over the summer!

WeLoveFine Battle of Hoth T-Shirt

Yesterday I had another amazing t-shirt arrive from the fine folks over at WeLoveFine (see what I did there?) This one's in the same vein as the Battle of Endor veteran's t-shirt I picked up last year, but instead celebrating the brave Rebel souls who fought on Hoth.

If you want to rock this awesome design, you can pick up your own for $25.00US ($29.48NZ). WeLoveFine have a number of other great Star Wars items too!

"Hunter" T-Shirt and Star Wars Sleepwear

New Zealand K-Mart stores currently have a very cool variety of Star Wars-branded clothing in stock. Last week, my partner surprised me with a Boba Fett "Hunter" t-shirt, and on a return visit I picked up a set of retro Star Wars pyjamas for just $20.00.

Someone's gonna be sleeping in style from now on!

Millennium Falcon T-Shirt

This morning I picked up this awesome t-shirt from my local Target for only $12.95US ($15.80NZ).

WeLoveFine T-Shirts

I've been admiring the t-shirts over at WeLoveFine.com for some time now, so last week I put an order in for one of their Battle of Endor Veteran's Associations t-shirts ($25.00US / $30.42NZ), and an embroidered Imperial polo shirt ($28.00US / $34.06NZ) for when things get fancy.

The great thing about the products from WeLoveFine is that - while still officially licensed - they are, in fact, created by fans. This opens the door for all sorts of badass designs like the ones you see above. The quality of the stitching, embroidery, and screen-printing on these two items is absolutely impeccable. I couldn't be happier.

If you feel like wearing your love of Star Wars on your sleeve (quite literally), WeLoveFine are the people to help you do it!

HelloGreedo's "In J.J. We Trust" T-Shirt

You might have seen me briefly pop up in the launch video for HelloGreedo's new "In J.J. We Trust" project. Yesterday I received my very own t-shirt from RedBubble to help advertise the cause.

It's an awesome design, and a sure-fire conversation starter. Head on over to HelloGreedo's online store to get yours now!

Stormtrooper Crowd T-Shirt

Christmas is going on a little longer than expected, as today I received this incredibly cool late present from my mum and dad. It's particularly apt given the project I've been working on over the holiday season!

Imperial Kids T-Shirt

It's always great to have a few quirky Star Wars t-shirts for special events. This one fits the bill perfectly!

Star Wars Coffee T-Shirt

A couple of days ago I received this very awesome t-shirt for my birthday (a t-shirt you might have already seen me modelling in an earlier post).

SWNZ T-Shirts

MattG over at SWNZ has done a run of official SWNZ t-shirts. I ordered a couple - one to keep for display purposes, and one to look awesome in.
