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. '
