My Libra Pondus have arrived. The story of the order is full of unusual details. The packaging in Japanese paper and metal box to store and protect the kimono is unique in itself. Not to mention that Isamu san's blog features quotes from Schopenhauer and Goethe... 🙃

SOLD April 18th Having a clearout of magazines: Free & Easy, Lightning, McCoys, Evisu, Popeye, 2nd etc. I have these on eBay for £100 starting price for the lot, but open to offers here, I'd like them to go to a good home. Some edge turndowns etc but basically as new. Please let me know if any questions.

Y'all aren't wrong, let's see what I can whip up in the next couple of days. Found some cheap flights April 15th - 25th. More to come.

It seems to me that it is. I have a j1a 2.5 that I always took perfect care of it. Never bare skin, never in bad environment, always nikwash, always in the closet when off season, you name it... Still it got some delamination on the collar, okay not visible, in a folding part, I thought... then I wore it only a couple of time in the last season, because of good weather, then "okay, I clean it, put in closet". Nikwash at 40 degrees, then dry to fix the TX waterproof and it came out fully delaminated. After that I said goodbye to GTX products, especially considering that I have older schoeller and Stone Island textiles that are still in perfect condition and fully waterproof.

^thanks, I know those two are special ones. I'd much rather sell here- they've been in a box for a decade, they deserve to be enjoyed!

Be aware that Golden week is 29th April - 5th of May this year, just in case you thought of going later. All of Japan will be on holiday and on the move, making accommodation much scarcer/ costly.

It's the way to go @Broark We then all get to live vicariously on 'What my jeans did today' which can be your daily Japan trip blog!

Good luck man 🫡 I imagine we won't see much for a long time but looking forward to seeing what you workshop!

I've just started at a clothing company, and I'd like to share with you some of the things I've learned. In the case of my company, the merchandisers are very professional. They're not acronym's supplier, but they do make hardshell jackets. Secondly, in terms of the choice of fabrics, this company has many fabric suppliers, and will compare prices and then purchase. The prospect of the garment industry is still good, but some disadvantages are that the old production mode needs to be updated, and the industry is monopolized by some large companies, and there is a lack of fresh blood. Young people generally do not want to work in garment factories, and the turnover rate is high.

WTS WTS J36-S Night M size 7/10 Sold out! Thank you! Feel free to negotiate! Since this is a post-dyed ventile, the feeling of use is easy to show and the sleeves are used. Functional aspects are not a problem. full pack Or if there is a negotiation with a size S jacket because I have lost weight, I would prefer that too lol. Of course the photos are unprocessed, and I will upload the photos with the frayed sleeves later.

Not too often I've a record of myself made by someone else but my friend got me over the weekend in a FW Tux. jacket is the s516xx and 601 1951's I just posted in the FW thread.

S601xx 1951 with probably about 6-7 months of real wear. Didn’t wash until about 3-4 months, quite frequently after that. I think this is a better denim to wash a lot. Not the one you want for really defined fades (good with me!). The puckering one the yoke is my favorite probably.

I’ve never washed any of my jeans inside out. But I also use the dryer sometimes too. Hahahah I like marbling. I like harsh creases. Just wear em hard and wash em often

Sugar Cane did it first, 25 years ago ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Neat Style's in house brand (done by Bridge of the Times, I think) goes to the next level and now offers completely broken leather patches

To think these are going to waste in some display or trunk when they could be put to good use by any number of this forum’s members. @shredwin_206 aren’t they your size?

S'funny @Broark just saw this before your post. Here's all the pics l have have collected of this pair. Amazing. Forgot to say l collected these purely for the flasher/ticket info but also because of that wavey back pocket stitching 😍

Seems as if there's no ceiling to price in the vintage market, Mushroom Vintage selling a deadstock S506xx for ¥30.8 million and deadstock '37 jeans for ¥19.8 million...insane.
