Gran Turismo 5 clothing line launched

By Fred Dutton Published 7 April, 2011

Vorsprung durch boutique.

Looking for something a little more urbane from your default gaming uniform than pants and a gravy-stained T-shirt? Sony thinks it has the answer – a line of classy Gran Turismo-branded leisure wear.

As detailed on the Gran Turismo Boutique online store, you can now dress yourself in a range of jackets and shirts all with discreet GT logos hidden away on them somewhere.

Chic doesn't come cheap, mind. The top-of-the-line Endurance jacket is going for $199 (around £122), while a plain T-shirt demands $24.00 (around £15) – and that's before you add tax and postage.

Not convinced? Maybe the chiseled model types below will help sell it to you. Great blue steels, guys.

    That tattoo is what really sells this to me. It's subtle, like a brick to the face.

  • eviroboy #2 1 year ago

    It's been available for a while now tbh. Apart from the cool looking GT patch the items all look disappointingly simplistic. I want more brand for my buck (pound)

  • the_dudefather #3 1 year ago

    You can buy one of the jacket sleeves now, and then get the rest of it in about 3 years

    How to look like a dork.

    My life would be complete if I got the track map of Suzuka tattooed to my arm like that guy...NOT. I'm already embarrassed to admit that I know what that tattoo is in the first place :)

    I love GT but you would have to be billy no mates to wear it....

  • NewbieZilla #7 1 year ago

    The fail is strong in anyone who buys this shit.

  • SavageEvil #8 1 year ago

    Lol, what's wrong with the merchandise? How old are some of you, sound like kids afraid of what others will think because of what you wear. The amount of people walking around as billboards for even worse human beings is appalling, but because you have a GT jacket you're some sort of no life individual. Online self conscious people are even worse that the one's you meet in everyday life, shake my head. You are thinking a little too highly of yourself, think a little lower and maybe you will be able to enjoy life a little better.

    But will the clothes support 3D people?

  • RoaringPanda #10 1 year ago

    If you weren't as beautiful as a model I expect you'd look like an anorak.

  • Freek #11 1 year ago

    Yes, the clothes are fully 3D compatible, but only if you are on your own. They tried it with multipell people but it fell apart. Rumor has it they are working on a patch to fix the holes and some stronger fibre to keep it all together.

  • dsmx #12 1 year ago

    Shamefully I quite like the jacket

    @SavageEvil

    Lol....really, lol. I fucking hate using the abbreviation lol......but mega lol in your general direction.

    EDIT: sorry....now I've picked myself up off the floor, let me say how I see it. You are right, there is nothing wrong with a bit of merchandise...I have many t-shirts from gigs I have been to, or stupid stress balls branded with whatever. The reason I don't have a problem with it, is because it is inexpensive tat, small mementos to stimulate memories... but spending $300 on a GT jacket to try and be cool....which let's face it, if you are spending $300 that's exactly how you think it will make you look....is depressing. I don't usually make fun of people because of what they wear or look etc, it's not very nice....and I wouldn't like it if someone did it to me. However, if I see someone wearing a $300 GT coat I will mock them in public and feel good about myself afterwards......

    edit: just realised its $200, not $300.......oooh tempting

    Embarassing.

  • TheEarlOfZinger #15 1 year ago

    @Snaggletooth

    You won't see anyone wearing a $300 GT jacket. Maybe if you go to Belgium for the weekend, but otherwise - nah.

  • Snaggletooth #16 1 year ago

    @TheEarlofZinger

    I'm fairly sure I won't see one in public too....I do think most people have better sense. Damn shame though, i was getting myself worked up there getting my mocking routine ready in my head.

  • bdc #17 1 year ago

    You wouldn't see me dead with video game clothing

  • Stepharneo #18 1 year ago

  • funkateer #20 1 year ago

    These awesome clothes don't mix well with my dorky looking 3D glasses.

  • Quixz #21 1 year ago

    I would buy the grey t-shirt.

  • orangpelupa #22 1 year ago

    hmmm just buy blank t shirt or jacket and print the GT logo yourself?

  • Caimbeul #23 1 year ago

    maybe they should concentrate on making new games or fixing current ones...?

  • Whitster #24 1 year ago

    Back when I worked at gamestation, one of the sony reps gave me a PS branded raincoat. It was actually quite nice, the only link to the PS brand was a subtle stiching of the the triangle, square, circle, cross on the neck and bottom of it. It's still sitting in the bottom of my cupboard somewhere.

  • Craven #25 1 year ago

    Like the game you'll have to grind away to get one of those endurance jackets.

  • Rodster #26 1 year ago

    Nothing says i'm a Geek more than wearing videogame clothes. :-D

  • Slikz #27 1 year ago

    Well I hope the pants don't tear.

    It's actually quite amusing seeing all these 'you'll look like a nerd' posts, when a lot of people on these boards probably fit that description already. Nothing to be ashamed or embarased about of course, but it is a bit rich. Although yes, those t-shirts are overpriced for what they are.

  • Architect_z #29 1 year ago

    The clothing looks pretty standard as far as I can see, its only really the label that seems different?
    If TK Maxx have it in store at some point, i'll consider it. ^_^

    O and lets not get all up in arms over some freaking t-shirts. If you post on this site your a geek, theres nothing wrong with liking video games, anime or whatever. This is who we are.

  • coolbritannia #30 1 year ago

    WTF?! I bought the jacket and before I could even put it on it needs a patch?
