A Site For Sore Eyes

Clothing, garb, threads - name it what you will. Everyone's body requires coverage. And, you might want to go out tonight, but have you got a stitch to wear? Here's Future Gamer's guide to a few places you might like to check out.

Adidas is one of the most famous names in sporting gear. Did you know that the company was founded by a bloke called Alfred 'Adi' Dassler some 77 years ago just outside Nuremberg? And did you know that, after an argument with Adi, brother Rudolf set up rival company Puma in 1948? Ryno's Adidas site details the history of Adidas and loads more.

Perhaps Levi jeans are more to your taste. The official Levi Strauss site features everything you need to know about one of fashion's most famous labels. You can even download the Flat Eric Sta Prest adverts. There's some strange stuff here, including a 'Toys' section where you get to waft around a sparse, animated room using the mouse pointer. Bizarre. The Gap site displays the latest seasonal collection from the popular High Street retailer. Bit dull, though.

Far more interesting is the self-indulgent Jean Paul Gaultier site where you can drift around various boutiques looking at sunglasses, leather goods (Ooh, Sir!) and other fantastic finery. Outrageously expensive, obviously. Most of the big designers and retailers have their own sites. "This season, I'll mostly be wearing..." as Jesse from The Fast Show would have it.
