  1. This is the other photo for now, "H & SC" on the back of the tab. Will keep you posted on the details soon @Double 0 Soul
  2. A friend recently got this with code M40313, apparently it's produced for 50th anniversary of Hinoya (~25 years ago) There is no digital footprint on this pair, do you know anything about it? @Double 0 Soul
  3. Irrationally tempted just for the coin pocket...
  4. Motoratory hand-dyed blue sneakers ~8 years old. (Is it still division of moto?) Indigo laces from Buaisou, the original leather lace snapped off couple of years ago... The original color of the leather coming through nicely as it ages, vibram sole still going strong, really solid pair of work.

    45rpm

    Rather baffling that they choose to use sanforized denim for their high end natural indigo jeans, unsanforized fabric for their more affordable line...
  6. Joking aside, it's a really good functional winter jacket, With the hood attached, I don't really need an umbrella when walking through rain.
  7. Going down memory lane... ~10 years old boro sashiko old man & the sea hat, arguably still one of their best pieces. Very well faded now.... Added the vertical stitching myself just for fun some time ago
  8. Visvim is should definitely be in the same conversation even though their price point more closely resembles designers clothing of high fashion...
  9. Shoes that look stagnant with time Got these some years before the pandemic, feels like nothing much change at all. Seriously very hard wearing leather (bison), fitting for a "work" shoes.
  10. Hinoya still tax free. Another place to check out is Junky Special but that is on the other side of the city (around Shinjuku)
  11. Posting these here for posterity sake (good light currently)... Feels like the brand has gone downhill since Toshikiyo-san passing & their majority stakes bought by LVMH, pissing off Jon also definitely bad move on Kiro's part. Recently had a chance to visit their Sapporo outlet & there is nothing compelling anymore, really feels like they are stagnant creatively now....very sad...
  12. Since re-discovering vinyl, I had actually appreciate album as an art form more than just series of songs put together. Too expensive to buy "single" vinyl with two songs on them so I had to be more particular when adding 1 to my collections. It's been a great platform for discovering other forms of music also (Jazz, city pop, local Indonesian music, etc)
  13. Old but gold Motoratory originally hand dyed blue, true leather color slowly peeking through...
  14. Recently pick this bowling inspired shoes from Radiance Blue Shanghai, it's collaboration effort between Hsin Wei (founder of RB) & Rock Yeh (shoemaker behind Feit, visvim, etc). Very unique choice of leather (kangaroo) & shape, excited to see how it evolves...
  15. I use Express VPN for some time now, overall great experience.
  16. Kapital Sassafras & PostO'all 45R A.S.P
  17. I think it really depends on the model of the shoe used, quite like the tasteful use of denim for these pair.
  18. Elegant bookmark I got a really long time ago
