Yes, it's already time to start thinking about Christmas. The cosplay and character goods website Cospa is offering two baseball caps honoring the military-themed franchise Kantai Collection to celebrate the season. While these may look like World War II veterans' hats, they actually honor World War II era-ships — the light cruiser Naka and the destroyer Shigure.
The outside of the caps show the actual ships, their dates of operation and festive holly leaves. The insides show the ships' anthropomorphized versions in Santa garb "so only you wearing the hat can see Naka/Shigure-chan."
Cospa is also selling a plate featuring Hokuhō Seiki (the Northern Princess), also wearing Santa clothes, so Kan Colle fans have something appropriate to eat their Christmas cake on.
Orders will be taken until noon Japan time on November 2 to enable delivery in time for the holiday. The hats cost 4,104 yen ($34) while the plate is 1,080 yen ($9).
