Check out the Loot Wear "Robotic" Items from September! Overall, the quality on the items are better than before.

 First thing we took out is the Loot Wearables Alien Button down Woven shirt. The shirt is a darker blue than it shows up in the pictures. Great quality shirt and shows the Weyland-Yutani logo on the front with sewn on Nostromo patches on both sides of the shoulders.


 Next is the Loot for Her - Star Trek: The Next Generation Boyfriend Cardigan. The back features art by Anna-Maria Jung which shows Data with a cat. The main color of the cardigan is yellow which is a bit darker than the pictures show.


 Then we took out the Loot Tees which is a Mega Man Skull T-Shirt. This is based on the skull from Dr. Wily's evil lair using sprites from the original Mega Man. 

 For the Loot Undies (boxer briefs) for guys we have the Futurama Bender Underwear. The front shows Bender while the back says "Bite My Shiny Metal Ass" lol.

Finally for the Loot Sock we have a pair of Invader Zim socks and a pair of Futurama Knit Socks.

 Here's a little flyer that comes with the clothes to let you know what were in this month's Loot Wear.
