Hi,

I am going to Tokyo tomorrow. I am looking for good shops for raw denim. KMW jeans fit well and I use them a lot, but I want to try to get some local/japanese ones. They don't have to be super heavy and stiff though.

Any suggestions? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

I hope some of you guys can help me.

I am looking for a brand that makes simple dress shirts. I really like the fit of "custom fit" Ralph Lauren shirts, and like the colors and patterns as well, but I would be happy if I could find something similar, which didn't have any logos.

Are there any brands out there that make similar style, quality and huge amount of choice but sans a logo?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where/if I can get Porter bags in London?

I'm looking for a messenger bag.

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Understated. Exactly the word I was looking for. The Jack Spade bags look very nice. Thanks everyone.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for the simplest messenger bag available. It should have room for a laptop, a couple of books etc. One color. No or few external pockets, straps etc. Material is less important. Quality needs to be very good.

Can anyone help me out? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

I am looking for a dark blue trench coat. Any suggestions?

I think I remember Cloak have a very nice one a few years ago.

Also, I am looking for a bright yellow scarf. Can you recommend one or a manufacturer?

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi guys,

Does anyone know where I can get KMW in NYC? Looking for some size 36 1950's.

Another thing, which places should I stop by for good raw denim in NYC?

I only know that I have to go to 45rpm again, but other than that I'm lost.

Thanks!

If I want to look at some good denim in Sydney, where should I go?

Looking for something straight cut/loose fit in raw a la 45 rpm, Kicking Mule etc.

Thanks!

Does anybody know where I can buy Kicking Mule Workshop jeans online? Preferably in Europe.

Thanks!

Lux11 for sure....

Bought some of their shirts and a tie en Beijing.

Background/more info on this brand?

Thanks!

TSE cashmere slipovers in various colors.

First ones are my favorite. Classic, plain and gold. You need these. Second ones are a bit more flashy and fun.

Wearing your initials has always been considered a bit pretentious, but if thats your thing....

Nah I don't think so. Would be preferablte to have some of your grandfathers old cufflinks, but if you don't have any of those, get some made you can give to your kids..

I've never heard that about the initials but that might be a geographical thing

Do you guys know what sizes their suits are measured in?

Damn it!

I'll see when I get there. ARHG.

Thanks

Going to London and I know Cloak is sold at Harvey Nichols, but I somehow fear I can't get that much in the store, and that most of the stuff is sold out.

Can anyone confirm/uncomfirm?

I don't know whether this should be in the Denim forum, but I guess since it's shopping advice, I'll put it here (mod. please feel free to move the thread).

Where should I go for jeans in London?

Thanks.

verd - Very nice cleak blazer! isn't that from the spring 05 collection??

I have a Futura Laboratories one, which is pretty good. All black.

I have the Cloak gunmetal wool twill peacoat. By far the best feeling and looking coat I've ever had. www.cloakdesign.com see under fall 05 look number 18.
