When custom dress shirt retailer Original Stitch teamed up with The Pokemon Company to produce fully-customizable shirts using beautifully detailed Pokemon fabrics, Poke-fans went wild! The San Francisco-based fashion startup teamed up with Japanese illustrators to design 151 original fabrics based on the original Pokemon found in the Kanto region.

Original Stitch shirts are all made to order in Japan and are fully customizable with hundreds of ways to make the shirt your own! You can opt for a design with the Pokemon pattern covering the entire shirt, or you can experiment with fabrics on the chest, cuffs, collar, and pocket of the shirt. When designing your shirt, you aren’t limited to a single pattern either – if you want, you can create a shirt with up to seven different fabrics of your Poke-pals! And the customization doesn’t end there – with two lines for both men and women, you can choose from multiple cuts, collar options, and sleeve lengths to create a shirt that would make any Poke-fan jealous.

Despite being a US-based company, Original Stitch is currently not shipping these Pokemon shirts outside of Japan. That means the only way to get your hands on one of these amazing shirts is to use a forwarding service or a proxy shopping service. That’s where FROM JAPAN comes in. Our proxy shopping service can help you get your paws on these shirts fit for a Pokemon Champion. Read on for our in-depth guide on how to design and order your very own custom Pokemon shirt!

Original Stitch now provides shipping to the following countries: Japan, United States, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Indonesia, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
