Looks like online retailer Huckberry has put out a line of clothing for fans of G.I. Joe! The good news is the products look amazing and made for a quality appearance. The bad news is it’s pricey and most of us won’t fit into any of it… Myself included.
“Some things we adored as kids just don’t hold up in retrospect — like mullet hairstyles and Lunchables, for instance. But the best childhood obsessions shape who you are today in a meaningful way. For us, G.I. Joe fits that bill. Through decades of enormous change, the G.I. Joe universe has remained a mainstay of American culture thanks to the idea that regular guys can lead heroic lives. That stuck with us. So to bring our trip down memory lane into the present, we assembled our own Adventure Team made up of like-minded makers to create a collection of G.I. Joe-inspired gear for today’s Real American Heroes — from a precise field watch to a faithful reproduction of the undies you had as a kid. Everything here is designed to equip you for the everyday battlefield, even if your most perilous mission is just a trip to the DMV.”

That espionage kit is tempting.
KIT INCLUDES
LED lantern with SOS function
Compass
Candle – 4hrs beeswax
Liars dice
Neck gaiter
Collapsible cup
Black Predator War Paint with SPF protection
Rope
Cobra Challenge coin
I would really like to see the challenge coin first though.
I also like the Snake Eyes jacket. Simple understated with just a small Arashikage patch (rubber?) on the breast.
The Finest could add this espionage kit to their cobra trooper/officer field manuals as optional equipment.
The Joe kit, while not as cool as the Cobra kit, has a lot more "survival" stuff...
Very cool stuff. A bit pricey but cool nonetheless!
It's pricey product but it's also really nice. To bad I will never know first hand because this stuff is made for small people. I wear 2XL and size 13 boot. Nothing on that page would ever fit me.
It also looks like one of those brands that slaps a XL tag on shirt but fits like a Large. They need 6'4" Viking Bastard sizes and they can take some of my money.
I still might treat myself to that travel bag.
What is "Cobra Decades"?

Philadelphia-based brand The Decades collaborated with Hasbro and the G.I. Joe brand on a line of USA-made apparel inspired by not only Real American Heroes but a couple characters from the other side of the battlefield as well.
