Gundam: Char's Counterattack Teams With Lee For Seven Apparel Items
The crossover puts a 1988 Gundam film on Lee's archival denim silhouettes and sells it through a limited preorder window, keeping the franchise's merchandise line running on nostalgia for the Amuro and Char rivalry rather than on any new animation.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack and the denim brand Lee are releasing seven apparel items through STRICT-G, Bandai's Gundam-themed clothing shop. The lineup is two denim jackets, two pairs of FLeeasy easy pants, and three T-shirts, priced at 25,300 yen, 18,150 yen, and 7,700 yen respectively. Preorders run on Premium Bandai's STRICT-G online store from 13:00 on October 2 to 23:00 on October 12, with in-store sales from October 10.
The jackets are ZIP styles based on Lee's 91-B from the DUNGAREES 90 series, cut from the brand's 10.5oz Jelt Denim. One carries an RX-93 nu Gundam motif on indigo, the other an MSN-04 Sazabi motif on black, at 25,300 yen each.
The FLeeasy pants take their name from Lee, Free, and Easy, with an inner belt adjuster covering sizes equivalent to XS through XXL and stretch added to the classic Jelt Denim. The three T-shirts rearrange Lee's standard logo print: Lee Logo MS, with mobile suits facing off across the logo; Axis Logo; and Denim Pocket Re-GZ. General sales open October 10 at STRICT-G stores in Odaiba, Tokyo Solamachi, NEOPASA Shizuoka, and Taga.
