Official Obscure High-End Japanese Trends You're Not Cool Enough For Megathread - Page 5

If you want to proxy Kapital, I recommend Jon from sufu (he posts in the Kapital thread). Gotta be careful w/ sizing though as it varies piece to piece and it's meant to be worn relaxed fitting combined w/ the fact most pieces are unisex. You particularly want to check the length and sleeve length measurements if you are 5'10 or taller.

ive always been a fan of Unused. Too bad the name makes internet searching practically impossible

lovely, the first look is nice.

this is one of those threads that i wish i didnt enter. so many must have pieces, that i never knew existed, but now need so badly. too bad i'm not cool enough

For very wearable, grown-up weekend swag for those who still like their Japanese streetwear, try Neighbourhood or Bedwin and the Heartbreakers. In fact, my casual friday wardrobe is 100% Neighbourhood, Bedwin, Our Legacy and Sophnet (another very solid Japanese label that produces superlative classic menswear)

Bedwin (S/S 11):

Also for simple. relatively affordable clothing that creates an edgy rocker vibe, look not further than lad musician. Their stuff ( tees, jackets, boots) is reminiscent of Hedi-era Dior.

My Lad blazer is my go-to for sharp but still casual occasions. Skinny lapels, 1 button, 2 vents, surgeon cuffs. Perfect for dressed up dates / nights out at club with paired with a crispy Y's white poplin button shirt and black Uniqlo skinny jeans.

.... wouldn't exactly call it affordable

...Its cheaper than Dior prices. Sales in Japan have a 50-70% markdown. Affordable to those with a 4 figure monthly income job.

Also I said "Relatively Affordable".

Lad Musician is certainly affordable IMO, it's not Uniqlo or anything but it's a solid mid-market option.
