| For the amount of 'other stuff' Japan produced with Sonic, there's a surprisingly small amount of clothing available. Why? Likely for the simple reason of photos of it being scarce. Much of what SonicGear has on display is from the Sonic Store, which was the first real heavily photographed Fan Event from over there. But, as more clothing photo submissions come in, Sonic Gear will expose all the Sonic clothing of Japan! |

Here are 5 different baseball type caps, each with it's own Sonic theme design! Each one says "Segasonic" on the bottom despite the character featured. The designs are embroidered on, for a nice quality stitched look. The different colors of fabric also help these hats stand out.
What really does the trick here though, is that the art used on them is still stock, but RARE stock, in that it's not repeated all over every other item you own. Just look at sitting Tails, he's so cute! Photo by Alesandro. |

This simple and cute greenish tie has a few stock art Sonic and Tails scattered among geometric shapes. It has the lesser used "looking out Sonic", the standard running Tails and standing Tails. Because they are scattered in all directions, it helps abstract the design a bit and turn it into a pattern. |

Here's a clever design, this tie uses TV monitors (of the exact same shape found in the game!) to show pictures of Tails, Sonic in different poses, and Eggman too. If you look closely, you can even spot ring and invincibility monitors scattered through as well! What a clever touch for this interesting tie! |

What do you wear a magenta colored tie with?
Well...if you can manage to find this one, you'll have to find out! Here, they've overlaid various color waves onto a pink/magenta background, while applying various stock arts. Sonic and Tails are featured larger at the bottom, standing next to eachother, to highlight the tip of the tie. |

Having a color varient is sometimes a good idea. Especially when the other color is a bright pink! This is clearly the 'same' neck tie, but now the background is a dark blue and the waves of color are a bit more subtle. This is the tie for when you're not feeling quite so 'loud' as to wear the one above. |

Here's a very slight variation on the monitor theme tie above. If you look closely, you can see here that this background is blue, and not green. The pattern is still the same, but this time the box is rather purple.
The box to all these is rather clever, with a 'tie shaped' die-cut out of the front to expose the pattern directly to potential buyers while adding interest to the packaging. |

This interestingly colored reddish-purple-ish tie is obviously the varient to the first one on the page. This curious color choice makes the Sonic & Tails graphics stand out more, but the green shapes in the background nearly give it a "Christmas" like theme....the orange box however, might not of been the best package choice for this particular item.
Think of how well it would display in your Sonic collection, with it's great little box! |

The last two ties in this collection depict Casino Night Zone from Sonic 2. Notice the star bumpers, triangle bumpers, and slotted area (Where Sonic could fit, rolled up) to play at the ring-dispensing slot machine. It's also ocvered in little stock arts interacting with the 'level' and sound effects. A large finger waving Sonic finishes it off at the bottom.
Though it is 'busy' it does not (for some reason) come across as intensely busy as other ties seen elsewhere on SonicGear.
