Just got back from Tokyo and my appointement with Toshi. He's super nice guy and great tattooer. Highly recommended.

This was my first time with tebori. It was different. Hard to explain. It was more like a burn.

I went with something super classic for my first japanese tattoo

Just came back from there. Didn't have any luck either; especially the L sizes. (same with and Wander & the Tilak+ stuff). My theory is: Stuff sold out in days/months when it came out, or, since most shops in their dealers list carry a ton of brands/styles or are small, Stock. Best selection was in a store in Fukuoka, but were talking 4/5 items.

 

Edit: Oshman's @ Shinjuku Station had a few ss shirts.

 

Ah, and Descente has some cool stuff going on with their Allterrain jackets and Blanc line, if your frame isn't too large.

I went to En Route in Ginza today. They had the Karu pants, the Shu Zak short and the Duo Tee. All in navy. I'm looking for black. No luck in the other stores listed as sellers.

on another note I bought pair of Civilized pants. Don't really know too much about the brand but they have som cool stuff.

Trying to find a store in Tokyo with a good selection of Alk Phenix. But I can't really seem to find any! Any suggestions?

Any other suggestions of storea in Tokyo with a urban good tech selection?

I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow. I will be shooting film, and I'd like to get it developed there. Any recommendations? Preferably a place that also does good scans.

I'm probably going to do a filler session for my right arm this fall. I have a bunch of stuff planned. Really looking forward to it.

Heads up that Ssense's sale has started and there are some good Veilance sales. Just picked up the Field Jacket that I've been ogling over for the last year.

Too slow I checked on the Apparats like 1 hour ago, and there was plenty left! Now all sold out! Aaah

poc helmets look the best and also are one of the safest. or grab on of the airbag neckgaiters.

Poc is far from the safest. This is a common misconseption. I'm an acttice cyclist, and I've seen plenty of crashed Pocs.They rearely perfome well.

A good friend of mine works in the bike industry designing helmets, and from what he tells me I will never wear a Poc.

What shop in Tokyo has the best selection of Alk Phenix?

Thanks for the tips guys! Has anyone tried the Little Cloud? The Visvim thing.

So what are the must check out places in Tokyo now?

oof, thought the caad was a 56 for some reason. I'm about 5'10"

'

Personally I think a size 56 would be way too big for you. I think a 54 would fit you perfect. A 56 would be too long and tall, and you would have to ride with a short stem and almost no drop.

Finally close to buying my first road bike. Looking at a few options on craigslist and also an allez on eBay. Don't think I'll every want to race or anything and just want something I can ride pretty casually then build up to longer rides. Do these look decent?

Know I'll also want to get shoes and pedals.  Anything else I should look for/know? A few years ago I was riding a fixed gear non-stop and doing a lot of rides around 40-50 miles so know a small amount about basic maintenance and such

How tall are you? Because those bikes are two different sizes.

Back in 2010 I saved up a bunch of money and stayed in Tokyo and traveled a bit for 3 months! Came back to Norway, missed Tokyo and bought a new ticket and stayed in Japan for a month.

I'm really, really amazed this is sold out.

Wearing a base layer like that is great when doing different types of sports. But buying a $220 Y-3 one when there are other great stuf being made for a fraction of the price, that is weird!

Just booked a place to stay through AirBnB. Seems to me like there's a whole lot of places still out!

Is there no love for Maharishi here? I never see their name mentioned. I think they are doing some pretty cool stuff lately.

My old TMA-1 snapped after 3 years, and AIAIAI replaced them with a new pair of TMA-2s. No questions asked.

The new Yukon series from Head Porter looks promising! Anyone seen it in real life?

Can anyone help me out with sushi recommendations?

I'm okay with spending up to 20.000Yen. I'm not staying at a hotel so I can't get anyone there to help me book for me. So something easily attainable would be nice.

I'll take suggestion in all price ranges! Cheep stuff too.

I saw that on Instagram nemoulette! Nice! Congrats

I had t omove my Tokyo trip from May to early June, lets hope the rainy season hasn't hit too hard by then!

I've had my Mission Workshop Arkiv R6 20L for 3 years now and it's great! I use it ann kind of weather, with my mac, camera and other stuf! Always safe. And it looks as good as the day it did when i bought it.

Could anyone recommend me some nice one day/two day trips from Tokyo?

I'm going there in mid May. It could be anything, but I know of the obvious places like Yokohama, Kamakura & Nikko.

My girlfriend surprised me this morning with a birthday appointment with Morten Transeth! Great gift
