This outfit, based on the tracksuit protagonist Tatsuya Ukyo in PSP game Yakuza: New Chapter Black Panther and its spin-off television drama.
The outfit is from Japanese designer DressCamp and will set you back ¥42,000 ($500) for the top and ¥35,000 ($420) for the pants. That’s a grand total of over $900!
The outfit will be available at DressCamp’s Tokyo and Osaka branches FOR OVER NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS. This isn’t cosplay, this isn’t fashion, this is madness.

Not really that expensive when you consider high-end women’s clothes. Especially seeing as this looks to be a jacket and pants – two items which should last a long time if they’re made well, and you look after them.
If you really, really liked the game and the style, I’m thinking $500 might be worth it for the jacket. Maybe. :)
