Stetson versus Street Fighter

[Jack Scorpion]

This is just a weird factoid to share: http://www.ripten.com/2010/06/29/life-imitates-art-with-ken-masters-real-stetson-cowboy-hat-lbd416/

In the video game Street Fighter 4, the character Ken Masters has a costume in the game that includes a cowboy hat. This is a pretty inconsequential detail.

However, for whatever reason, Stetson decided to make actual copies of this virtual cowboy hat. I was recently at the Street Fighter world championships in Vegas, where the third of these was given away as a prize.

Strange world.

I don't know a thing about the game. That's a great hat! I'd wear that. I think I'll break out my western hat this weekend.
