Mobile Suit Z Gundam’s 40th anniversary celebrated with new vintage T-shirt collection
Pre-orders are set to open for a new collection of vintage-style apparel celebrating the 40th anniversary of Mobile Suit Z Gundam.
The new items are from the “STRICT-G.Fab” brand, a line that proposes rugged, American casual styles with a vintage feel.
The release features three new “Used Style Long Sleeve T-Shirts.”
Mobile Suit Z Gundam, which first aired in 1985 (40 years ago), is a pivotal series in the Universal Century timeline.
It is known for its dark, complex story and its wide array of unique mobile suit designs, moving away from the simpler themes of the original series.
The collection is designed to have a “used” or “worn-in” feel, like a favorite old shirt.
This is achieved through a special wash-processing and a faded-style print. The shirts are made from a thick, durable, yet soft cotton fabric.
The lineup features three iconic mobile suits from the series:
- STRICT-G Fab ‘Mobile Suit Z Gundam’ Used Style Long Sleeved T-Shirt Z Gundam
- Price: 7,480 yen (approx. $48.59 USD / £36.96 GBP)
- Sizes: M / L / XL
This shirt features the main protagonist mobile suit, the Z Gundam.
- STRICT-G Fab ‘Mobile Suit Z Gundam’ Used Style Long Sleeved T-Shirt Rick Dias
- Price: 7,480 yen (approx. $48.59 USD / £36.96 GBP)
- Sizes: M / L / XL
This shirt features the main mass-produced suit of the A.E.U.G., the Rick Dias.
- STRICT-G Fab ‘Mobile Suit Z Gundam’ Used Style Long Sleeved T-Shirt Qubeley
- Price: 7,480 yen (approx. $48.59 USD / £36.96 GBP)
- Sizes: M / L / XL
This shirt features the iconic and powerful white mobile suit piloted by Haman Karn, the Qubeley.
Pre-orders for the long-sleeve T-shirts are scheduled to open from November 12 via the Premium Bandai “STRICT-G Online Store.”
The pre-order window will close on November 23, with the items scheduled to ship in December 2025.
A general in-store release is scheduled to follow on Saturday, November 22, at STRICT-G store locations throughout Japan.
