Admit It, The Stormtrooper Hoodie is a Little Tempting

By Mark Ecko, this Stormtrooper hoodie will ensure that, at a moment's notice, you will be ready for an impromptu Star Wars convention or back alley role-playing fest. It may sound like overkill, but to the die-hard Star Wars fan, it's a whole lot easier than carrying around plastic armor everywhere you go. $98 through Ecko's site, there's a pretty great Boba Fett version as well but it's lacking the ever-important, identity-protecting mask.

UPDATE: Enter 'STARWARSFAN8' at checkout and get $10 off orders of $100 or more and free shipping. Deal is good through Saturday.

Beware of Online Predators (They Have Wi-Fi)

I always thought the warnings of online predators were the product of 20/20 producers trying to spur ratings. Now I get it. Not only is the prospect of talking to a Predator™ frightening as all hell, but the dude is wearing fishnets. These online Predators™ are perverts too!! Pick up the shirt for $17.

Dot Matrix Wallet Smears Fashion All Over Your Sweaty Pocket

We're not going to spend all day explaining why this dot matrix wallet is the best thing we've ever seen. If you don't know, then you are without joy in your life. And there's simply nothing we can do about it. However, as for its downsides, we're pretty sure there's not room for both your Visa and Diner's Club cards inside. So you'll have pare down a bit. Oh, and unlike other cult-y homemade-looking geek paraphernalia, this wallet is actually for sale for $17. [fredflare via UberReview]

Why We Always Write to the Hard Disk

Just to clarify, we're not posting this "5.25 floppy inches" shirt for actual purchase and real world wear. But if you absolutely cannot resist, then go ahead. Just wear it to bed when you're sleeping alone. That way the precious illusion is maintained that the solitude is optional. [Geek Swag via Gearfuse]

LED Fashion: Perfect for Joggers, DJs, Gizmodo Enthusiasts

EroGear is an LED clothing startup that embeds bright, eye-burning lights in otherwise drab cotton. And while their current LED jackets look perfect for late night runners and bicyclists, EroGear is actually courting a different group given the high price tag—the DJ who's looking to distinguish himself in a dark nightclub. The only downside is that since EroGear's fashion is still "in the design phase," custom LED jackets as seen in this clip cost about $1,500 a pop. And for that much, we'd need nothing less than a full-out TRON 2 bodysuit. [EroGear]

Working Scissor Cufflinks Are For Wealthy Cutters

These solid silver, rhodium-coated scissor cufflinks are cutting edge and all, and very shiny, but at $550 for the pair I think I'll just rummage around the kitchen drawer and bend a pair of my own, thank you very much. Oh, what's that? They open and close, just like real scissors? Sold! [A+R Store]

Sexy Venetian Blind T-Shirt Bares Midriffs With the Pull of a String

Hey girls, can't decide whether or not to wear that midriff-bearing shirt out to the bar tonight? No worries, simply don this Venetian blind T-shirt and yank on the fully functional string when Joe Hottie walks by. Sure it's ridiculous, but it's also one-of-its-kind, and available only at art museums for the time being. Just don't be too peeved when some drunk mistakes your shirt for an actual window and pukes all over your chest. [Shikisai via I New Idea]

2600 A Video Game Odyssey

If you enjoyed Kubrick's 2001 and Bushnell's 2600, then this shirt cannot be missed. And let me be the first to say, $12 to watch a bunch of monkeys reach for a joystick is an absolute steal. Hell, $12 to watch monkeys pretty much do anything is a decent value. [Etsy via Technabob]

Men's Vogue on Bill Gates's Style: "A Fashionable Guy"

What would you wear every day if you could wear anything? We're talking no limits, not from bank accounts or corporate wardrobe requirements, not those snarky writers from US Weekly or the sexy lady judging the size of your 401k by the validity of your Rolex.

One man in particular has had that choice over the years. He's Bill Gates.

In the past several decades, Bill Gates has been seen in jeans, ties and suits, but at the end of the day, there's been one look he's come home to. It's the sweater. With a buttoned shirt under it. For over 20 years, this has been the signature calling card of one of world's most powerful men. (That, and those $7 haircuts.)

And you know what's crazy? Men's Vogue tells us that it's fashionable.
