SUPREME is getting outta hand.

BEEN. worse in the US

[raddy]

I happened to be around Shibuya for the Supreme store opening -- I can't imagine waiting hours for that crap. I don't even think there were exclusives.

In Chicago, the Supreme crowd is the Urban Outfitters crowd...not sure how that reflects on tongue-in-cheek anti-fashion

I am visiting Tokyo for ten days! It's so cold here, damn!

What are some things/ sales I must do and find while I am here? I downloaded the superfuture app already and will be following that sorta closely as an added itinerary.

Also, I'm looking for a pair of drop crotch pants. Just slightly dropped. Is there a good place to find affordable ones? I've seen a couple very stylish locals wear some that I really liked. They were sorta wool ish, not sweatpant material. I wanted to ask the brand and where they got them, but my Japanese is pretty poor.

This city is very exciting!

[herpsky]

Isetan just started their sale yesterday. Will be a total shit show this weekend. Go next week.

Joppers (however they are spelled) - you can find them at most select stores like beams, UA, american rag cie, and etc

It really depends on what kinda style you are into. Kinda hard to make a suggestion based on what you described.

[bocaburgler]

Thank you. Well, I really won't know till I see them, because I don't really know how to describe other than fitted but slightly dropped. They weren't overkill. One pair I saw a man wearing seemed to be a wool . Maybe they go by a different name in Japan. I walked ALL over Ginza and shibuya yesterday just going into any store I could and searching for that style. I just thought their would be some local brands in the mid range priced. I honestly don't know where to look, other than just wondering around. A google search doesn't usually help because all the drop crotch pictures are REALLY dropped.

So what I am looking for is, something that is slim sorta fitted in the legs, regular waist rise, but then the crotch seat area is dropped a little to give a sorta relaxed look. Haha, that's the best I can do. Trying to avoid sweatpant material.

[bocaburgler]

Looked up joggers. I don't want any sort of elastic/cuffing at the ankles

[herpsky]

Like this? These are NOT called joggers.

Ginza is probably the worst place to go look at mens stuff.

You should hit up men's lumine, ciao panic, ships, and etc in shibuya

[herpsky]

or this?

Damn my post before that didn't go through for some reason.

A fit similar to this.

The ones you posted might do the trick I need to try them on to figure it out. Thanks for the straight forward help

Finally made it to Robot Restaurant in Shinjuku.

So unbelievably weird and awesome. Highly highly recommended stop. Eat beforehand though. The bento they served looked quite unappealing.

SUPREME is getting outta hand.

I've been wearing supreme caps a lot these days, sorta weird but I'm liking streetwear more (not the audience though). Can't do the stupid stuff I've seen a lot lately though (say blazer/peacoat/overcoat + supreme cap). I like the look of caps with a leather, it's a casual douchebag thing for sure but fashion is so unappealing these days.

I've been slowly wearing some street wear again as well. I'm on this whole anti menswear kick because I hate my waspy neighbors who may be operating a meth lab.

[herpsky]

[herpsky]

[DaBestSpoona]

Supreme looks really ugly this season, no wonder its like 50% off now.

[herpsky]

is it really? i think it's just select items.

[herpsky]

i went to supreme harajuku a couple of days ago.

only the ugliest shit was on sale like that duck print coverall thing. ugh.

[djrajio]

The duck-print coat is fucking awesome.

[djrajio]

Have fun w/ your future wifey tonight herpsky.

Wrap that shit up.

Don't want any little herps running around causing ruckus in Roppongi.

I went to Julius flagship today. I kinda shit a brick once I realized how much international mark up is. The new season looks great in person.

Ragtag blew my mind. Got a couple really old CDG homme items for mad cheap.

Still on the hunt for decent drop crotch pants. Shibuya is amazing...got to explore for a bit more this time.

Diakayama was so rad, and there have been tons of sales everywhere. Got a nice leather jacket from Shellac today...a fraction of what H. Lorenzo would've charged too.

[djrajio]

Welcome to Tokyo. Enjoy your stay.

[bocaburgler]

Thank you. I have been overwhelmed with great experiences. I will come back in December. What a polite, stylish and well-mannered city. Very impressed!

[bocaburgler]

Although, damn do you guys like to crank the heat indoors. Its like a 102 in every restaurant and department store

[DaBestSpoona]

is it really? i think it's just select items.

I guess I dont goto supreme enough, but I guess its just all the ugly shit thats left over in the soho store.

Japanese people are just cold all the time. I went snorkeling with the misses in Hawaii and she was complaining how cold it is, it was frigging 80s out.

I forgot to mention. It wasn't the gree chick. It was the two BZs I always hang out with. They b from my elementary school. We got some samugyopusaru and chilled.

She's actually cute.
