About two years ago, a reader asked if we wanted a Dreamcast coat that said “SOE PD” on the back. We said yes. We may even have said “SHIT YES!” and went off to pick it up, a process that involved actual human contact with the owner. It was terrifying, yet exhilarating to get a piece of Dreamcast internal merchandise.
Then we somehow lost the coat before getting around to doing an update about it. God knows how it got lost, as it was never worn or taken anywhere. It just disappeared.
Fortunately, someone else has one. And they paid money for theirs.
The coat itself was bulky and ugly, the sort of thing a person who works outside all day might be made to wear by their employer. Losing it wasn’t that much of a heart break, to be honest, as it’d only have sat there taking up wardrobe space until we died and a homeless charity came to take it away.
“Seeing as you’ve done a few updates about random SEGA-branded kit over the last few weeks, I thought you might like to see these poor quality pics of a Dreamcast branded jacket I got off eBay a few years ago.”
“It says ‘SOE PD’ on the front (which probably stands for SEGA of Europe… something), and on the back it has an expertly embroidered Dreamcast logo. Unfortunately (or more likely, fortunately) I can’t wear it in public because even though it’s a ‘medium,’ it’s far to small for me. Bah!” – Tom.
