This is not an April Fools' Day joke.
Konami is really announcing a men's clothing line based on game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker. Available for purchase online in US and Canada beginning on April 11, 2011, the collection will include coats, sweatshirts, pants, t-shirts and hats, all inspired by clothing worn by characters in the 2010 PSP game. Additional items in the clothing line will be released quarterly and surrounding certain special events throughout the year, Konami notes.
I would wear some of this. We poke fun at anything in our inbox that says "men's clothing line," but I bet this stuff will be pretty cool.

When can I place my orders?
Something tells me I better start saving up. I could see some of the coats costing a pretty penny.
Here's the burning question: Do these come in American (6' and fat) sizes? Or were they tailored to more Japanese sizes?
I'm a little weary about online apparel purchases. I bought a pair of Emerica shoes a while back and when they arrived, they were a bit too small. They were unresponsive trying to exchange them for a larger size, so I ended up spending $50 on a box that sits in my closet. Would hate to repeat that, only with a $200 coat.
@Article: So buying a hoodie or jacket. Please tell me they sell boxes too.
There needs to be an EVA for every Big Boss.

Hate to link to another blog, but they have pictures there.
No word on price but I'm hoping it's relatively cheap.
