Let’s Jam!
There’s no getting around it; Spike Spiegel might be the most stylish fictional characters to ever grace both screen and page. Granted, a lot of that comes from his marksmanship skills, affinity for martial arts, daredevil attitude and the way he rocks that hairstyle of his to utter perfection.
However, at least a fraction of his undeniable swagger comes from his slick choice in wardrobe.
While many fans have taken to making their own for cosplay purposes, and to great effect we might add, the space cowboy’s two piece suit has now been made officially available for purchase.
According to an article on Crunchyroll –
We’re coming up on the 20th anniversary of Cowboy Bebopon April 3, 1998 (the manga beat it out of the gate with a September ’97 debut). Anime-inspired apparel label Super Groupies is on top of it with a chance to make some of the anime’s classic sense of style your own.
You can adopt the hard-boiled look of Spike Spiegel in a two-piece suit now available for order. The anime’s unforgettable silhouette inspires the motif of its lining, while the high-speed fighter Swordfish II is on the buttons.
Lost love not included.
Snazzy.
Here’s hoping that fans in the west can make purchases just as easy as the ones in Japan. After all, who doesn’t want to live the life of Spike Spiegel? Just as long as you ignore all those gunshot wounds, the missing eye, his overwhelmingly tragic backstory and the general chaos that seems to follow him wherever he goes.
If you’ve still not had your feel of Cowboy Bebop, then be sure to check out the video below to see where the likes of Spike, Faye, Jet and Ed ranked in our picks for the Top 10 Anime That Everyone Needs to Watch!Â
