Cover Your Sleeves and More!

What's that you've got on your arms, Jeong Eun?
Aha! You are covering your nice long sleeve shirt. I guess your job as key animator can get pretty messy. Those sleeve covers sure must come in handy!

I bought a pair of those on the street. I guess I've been using them wrong.

I guess they are not fashionable leg warmers.

Or milk jug cosies either.

They sure worked well as tangerine dispensers.

And they really did spruce up that battery-powered dancing toy that got kind of boring.

I guess you can use them however you want. I wonder how people in other parts of the world use them?

Creature and Character Caps

It is cold in Korea! It's a good thing these character and creature caps are a popular fashion trend brightening up the winter.These caps are most popular with kids who wear them while out and about. Every once in a while you can spot them on an adult, too.

The sheer variety of styles is impressive. It seems you can find a cap of almost any animal. Above I see: a koala, cats, tigers, a panda, bears, and a husky. Not pictured are countless other animals. I've even seen an insectoid cap!

And there are lots of cartoon character caps, too. Above are some Sanrio, Warner Bros. and Disney characters. I've seen a funny Santa Clause character cap as well.

I wonder if the use of these characters is even legal? I don't know, but isn't this off-model Mickey Mouse something?

It's nice for a fashion trend to enliven the winter. Is this fashion popular in your part of the world, too?

Cartoon Couture

Wow, Jerry! You look great!Cartoon characters and clothing often go hand in hand in Korea. Here are a couple sparkling examples:

Jerry Mouse

The Pink Panther

Our favorite cartoon characters can be found on all articles of clothing. They are made for women, like the two examples above, and they are made for men. I've even seen a sequined old-style Batman shirt once. They can appear on inexpensive items like socks. Or they can be quite expensive. I saw a luxury Snoopy sweater with an over 600,000 KRW price tag. If I see that again, I'll make sure to share it with you.

Does fashion in your part of the world feature cartoon heroes?
