The countdown timer on the Psycho Brigade site has finally reached an end at 12 AM PST this morning activating the “Pre-Order Link” to Triumvir x Capcom’s current Shadaloo Psycho Brigade Collection. It can now be pre-ordered through the Triumvir Web Store.

I’ve been lurking around online the past few weeks since the launch of the Psycho Brigade campaign and seen and heard a lot of mixed emotions towards this collection which I anticipated from the moment I started sketching the pieces. The pressure was definitely there considering the Street Fighter franchise has been around for two decades already… can you imagine what the fans may say to have an apparel company come in and develop a new concept within the Shadaloo Syndicate..?

What I wanted to do with Shadaloo Psycho Brigade was to create an unorthodox approach from the “video game/anime x clothing line” genre that we are used to seeing here in the USA. I really respect the cool products that other collaborators in Japan and the rest of Asia create when it comes to a clothing label collaborating with a video game/anime/manga related title. When it comes to these related merchandise, the quality and concept in Asia is top-notch and you get a sense of the attention to detail the creative and development team put towards the product and concept. And that kind of dedication is what I wanted to mimic from our neighbors across the pacific. Recently I noticed my little cousin wearing a Japanese made Gundam hoody that costs somewhere around $150.00 with the nicest construction and material I’ve seen used and it wasn’t just a screen printed character of Zaku. So this is only part of the reason for creating a whole separate mini website for the Psycho Brigade Collection, I wanted to give the feeling of it being its own entity away from Triumvir, a detailed concept, in my opinion it is more about the concept of the Psycho Brigade character than the clothing itself, because the clothing was created for the character…

I understand there are different types of collectors within every genre and I do not expect all Street Fighter fans to like what we’re doing… it’s not about that. I myself, am one of those collectors who is lucky enough to work with a company like Capcom and fortunate enough to say, “hey wouldn’t it be cool if Shadaloo came out with a jacket like this…” and actually be able to produce it and share it with fellow Shadaloo fans.  At the end of the day, I understand that these pieces may be too militant or too dark, but isn’t that what Shadaloo is about…? Have you really looked at Vega (M.Bison)..? For this reason, much of the Psycho Brigade Collection is very limited, because it’s not made for the general Street Fighter consumer… it’s made for the Shadaloo consumer.

All the pieces from the Shadaloo Psycho Brigade Collection is constructed here in the USA (except the imported Canadian Hooded Parka). Fabrics are chosen mostly from Los Angeles and the selvedge denim is imported from Japan. The fit mirrors all of Triumvir’s current Autumn/Winter 2009 collection. New slimmer ring-spun tees are substituted this year and next year for all Street Fighter related products.

All cut & sew are limited to 50 ~ 60 pieces

All orders over $100 will receive a Pyscho Brigade Folded Skull Cap (while supplies last)
