ThinkGeek recently updated its selection of offerings with a Chewbacca shirt, which was created to honor the latest installment to the franchise, 'Solo: A Star Wars Story,' set to release in the May of this year.
The shirt is relatively simple in design, with the polo silhouette colored a chocolate brown that's reminiscent of the space creature's fur. A series of small buttons are featured along the neck of the shirt, and a small Chewbacca embroidery image is included on one side of the chest. Due to the minimal branding, the shirt can easily be worn for any casual occasion, while still showing the wearer's fandom upon closer inspection.
The Chewbacca shirt is currently available on ThinkGeek's web store, where it retails for $30 USD.
