1942 506xx landing at stores now, featuring a nicely faded tab.

@beautiful_FrEaK yes they made a type 2, it was several years ago now (the post I found was from 2017). I think they made it for one of their Japanese retailers Commono Reproducts (which seems like is no longer in business), not many were available. Would love if they made a traditional type 1 / 2 someday. Some more photos here: http://livininparis.com/2017/03/23/ooe-yofukuten-co/

I think this design is a lot more understated and not flashy at all. I used to exclusively think of Rick Owens from the goth-ninja perspective. Guys like this.
-
@Maynard Friedman Maybe...just don't tell my wife.
-
@MJF9 Very hefty and well made, they feel much more like a shoe / boot as opposed to a sneaker.
-
Something completely out of left field. Swung by the new Self Edge Austin location last weekend for their opening day and picked up a pair of Rick Owens sneakers. If you would've asked me 5 years ago if I would wear Rick Owens I probably would've laughed at you.

I might or might not have gotten a pair of 01s.
-
Be there or be square! I'll be there, hope to see some sufu peeps roll through.
-
Yup $800 is the threshold. I feel like I've just gotten lucky, I've never explicitly requested lower invoice prices from any shops.
-
Maybe I'm lucky but I've never been stung by US customs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-
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.
-
I've been tossing around the idea of a last minute solo trip to Japan, not sure if it's the best financial decision ever but would be the trip of a lifetime...
-
Not a bad idea, we actually recently cleaned out some beds in our backyard for this exact purpose. We’re renting our place so not entirely sure how much we can do, but might clear out some more. It’s very rewarding!
-
Hope y'all have been doing well, been a bit busy lately as I was interviewing and landed a new job! I turned in my notice last week and my boss (of almost 6 years) told me to hit the road so now I've got a bunch of time on my hands until my start date. Any hobbies I should pick up in the next month?

Basically what Alien said above ^. Pretty sure there is an Oni thread, but I don't think the brand gets much traction these days (around here at least) since the denim is so irregular and generally heavier weight. Most people here are more interested in repros or lesser known brands, not big slubzzz and straight tapered fits.
-
Might have to do with the image hosting website I used for that photo, the built in sufu uploader doesn’t seem to support .HEIC photos so I used another website this time around.
-
Enjoying the last fleeting days of sweatshirt weather. Freewheelers. Ooe Yofukuten. Russell.
-
The Freewheelers 601RB will be re-released pretty soon, I think there are some small changes to the denim but the details on the new run should be identical.
-
@JohnM I went with an 11.5 E, they feel like the right size lengthwise although I might’ve been able to get away with the standard width. So half a size down from Brannock for me. Some decent arch support, the soles on this pair are very springy. Was just traveling with them and they held up really well running through the airport.
-
A small amount of heel slippage, but I feel like they're settling in with wear.
-
Received my pair of Russell Fishing Oxfords last week, these were done in collaboration with Stitchdown. I now understand why people say that these are some of the most comfortable shoes/boots that they own.
-
Congrats b_F!
-
Just got my pair back from being hemmed by Indigo Proof. I will say it feels a little strange wearing a war era pair that's so neatly constructed, but I'm enjoying wearing them so far.
-
I really want the turn down collar jacket but I have to pump the brakes. It's already getting hot here so I wouldn't get much wear out of it this year. I might be planning a Japan trip soon (sooner than later if this job opportunity works out). If I do go I'll be sure to meet up with Seiichiro, I'm sure he'll try to sell me that sweater.

This hoodie is the closest thing I own to red for Valentine’s Day. Freewheelers hoodie. Freewheelers 601XX-C. John Lofgren Devil’s Causeway.
