[PICS] TAKE5 Best Denim Store in Hong Kong - Sugarcane, Samurai, Evisu, etc.

[Landy]

I just came back from HK and I stumbled across probably one of the best denim stores you can find outside of Japan. They carry all brands that you guys love so much: denime, real mccoy, sugarcane, studio d'artisan, samurai, evisu, levis, etc. The staff there are a bunch of denim heads as well. I showed them the superfuture website and they were definitely digging the before and after denim pics thread. If you're in Hong Kong, you should definitely check them out. But I've also talked to them into possible setting up a way to selling jeans to people on superfuture. Everyone there speaks fluent english so it may be easier to buy through them rather than from Japan. One of the shop's staff members has registered on superfuture, so look for him popping up soon.

Their addie is:

Shop B&C,1/F Hing Ming Building,

41A-B Granville Road,

Tsim Sha Tsui,Kowloon, HongKong

www.take5jeans.com

You can email them at [email protected]

Anyways check the pics!

They have on display 2 pairs of jeans that wear owned in and worn in by the boss of Samurai Jeans himself. I tried to get good pics. Sorry if they didn't come out clear or the lighting was off.

cant beleive you only just found take5.... i found it 1/2 an hour after i got there ..drawn to it like a magnet i was.

im going there nxt week to get me some denime... from your photo it looks like they have better/more stock than last time i was there

im actually looking foward to my trip now ...thanks

[Landy]

^ ha yea. well i never knew the store existed. i just like to wander around HK and go into random stores. you never know what you'll fine. i practically creamed myself when i found this one. lol.

[Noddy]

that's cool man............

[tg76]

^ ha yea. well i never knew the store existed. i just like to wander around HK and go into random stores. you never know what you'll fine. i practically creamed myself when i found this one. lol.

i was lucky i stayed in a hotel round corner from granville so i walked round and my eyes lit up, i think i bought some soap and a mag off them, did you buy anything?

did you find the vintage shop just back from take5?

and the arcade off granville circuit thats mostly crap but on the top floor theres a couple that custom make boots and shoes?

so want to be there now!

[BumbaClot]

Thank you Landy!

The pictures are straight porno.

+if these guys end up hooking us up thanks to you....

[Landy]

i bought some sugarcane soap to wash my nudies in. i also got a pair of the 2000 no. 2 evisus with the orange and black "tiger" selvege. but i mostly spent an hour there talkin with the people at the shop about jeans. like i said, they really dug superfuture and they hope to find a way where they can sell jeans to members here.

nah didn't check out the vintage shops or find the boots and shoe place.

i'm happy to be back from HK. i spent 6 months there. it gets old real quick. lol.

[Guest The Diplomatic Aristocrat]

Holy shit they have a lot of good stuff

[esoteric]

If they sell some of their stuff here, that'd be amazing.

[chim]

they also carry the full line of red moon products =P

I was just there and bought myself a Samurai Jeans shirt and a FlatHead keychain. They were on sale. It's 20% off on everything but 25% off if you have their privilege card (yeah right). I was tempted to go for the SDA 103XX but I'm under oath from the PG2G "no more denim" thread...

I got the chance to chat a salesperson there and he said they intend to be actively selling stuff here at sf...watchout for it!

[amadoriv]

i was there last month, it's located on the same floor as one of the billions of bape/milo retailers in HK. Take5 was like a museum. I believe it's the only retailer of samurai in HK. someone correct me if i'm wrong.

[Confabulor]

You guy's who've been there, do they chain-stitch in-store for you?

Going on a trip to HK soon, just added this store to my list!

[Landy]

Nah I don't think they do chain stitching. you may wanna find out the word for it in chinese and ask them to look.

also for another denim store, check out evisu designer/founder/owner, Hidehiko Yamane's store in Causeway bay. it's called Yamane. it's a flagship store that doesn't even exist in Japan. in there, they carry a range of selvege denim under his Yamane label. the price is pretty decent, $880 HKD, but that's because the denim is made in china. But this probably goes to show how China is growing and evolving in denim production if Yamane is setting up shop there.

[justiz2]

Oh wow.... I really hope they'll start selling on sf....

[tweeds]

you're saying their prices are 20% off from the rakuten shops like bears and hinoya even without that premium membership?

and what do denim shops smell like? i've never been into a mainly denim store stocked to the ceiling like that.

[keri]

It's like porn.

[tm]

Landy you are back in Hong Kong?

[Landy]

^ no i was there for 6 months doing voice work for disneyland HK. i'm back in america now. and tweedlespink... and smells like fresh denim, all starchy and strong. smells like heaven.

[tm]

oo damn

do you still remeber the location where you saw the Y3 shirt?

maybe i can ask someone in hk to help me pick it up.

[synthi]

Whoa - great pics And if they do start selling on here you have done us a massive favour.

[vee_dub]

Hey Landy, nice ..lucky you.

I am going to hong kong end of this year, i will for sure visit them. Hopefully they have those xmas sale going on.

By any chance that they do international shipping??

Cheer,

Dub.

[chim]

haha, i actually have their VIP card because of my red moon purchases a while back. If they sell through SF i'm gonna bank

[john11f]

A pair of Studio D' Artisan SD-103XX cost $194 in today's exchange rate.

Any of you guys heard of Goro's? They make some nice pendants....Take5 also has them.
