Best things I've worn
Clothes, shoes, etc. I really bought and used for years or will probably use for long time.

Sero Oxford Shirt
This one made me nostalgic, since the brand I often saw when I was in high school. Sero. I Just thought that the brand was gone already, but actually available at High Standard in Daikanyama, Tokyo. The price tag was sincere. While Gitman Brothers is more than 150 bucks, this is around 100.... Expensive as a shirt, but these days, not so many choices for an authentic shirt with a right quality ( I mean, just right, not overly right.. A shirt is basically an everyday stuff).

Aloha T Shirts
This one was from Maui, Hawaii, which I got on my recent trip to Maui with my wife. The Aloha vibe was great and I like the print design. It was USD22 or so.
Vintage T Shirts Chevrolet Racing Team
I have no idea how this one was found by a Japanese vintage clothes dealer, but I bought this at Arms Clothing Store in Yutenji, Tokyo. My favorite vintage/secondhand clothes store in Tokyo. It was 2,900yen (about USD30). A bit expensive for a T shirt, but I like the print.
1970's Levis 505
This was my first vintage jean. Bought at 2nd-Boom in Ebisu Tokyo. A great vintage & secondhand clothes shop. Even compared to NYC, Tokyo is vintage-shop heaven. Although the price is higher than in NYC, things are well curated and selected. Anyway, this pair, 70's 505 with a great faded indigo blue. It was 29,000 yen (almost USD300). I know it is not cheap, but not extremely expensive considering the fact that the high end denim brands offer similar price for artificially processed jeans. This one has been through a real aging process and it is romantic. Thoughts?

Clarks Desert Boots Made In England
I resumed this blog without any particular reasons. Maybe I got the feeling because I've got enough things to introduce since I came back to Japan last summer.
This pair, which I bought at Rugged Factory in Tokyo was 19,000 yen (USD190). I know, I know the one made in Vietnam is around USD110-120, but the shape and color of my pair is much better, especially with this light brown model. '

Vintage French Work Shirt
This one is rather new. I just got this piece at Quality Mending Co in NYC this weekend. I had a similar one (It was an Italian work shirt, I think) and liked that so much. $68 is not bad, not cheap though. The detail I like is the thin material (good for late spring/summer) and the pockets. Can be a good travel jacket.
