How warm is that boy? I kinda wanted the bandana one but 140,000 yen is a bit steep for it to not have down or something

So warm. Like too warm for Australia. I use it in Japan and winters in the northern hemisphere.
That said, I wear it every chance I can, it’s 100% one of my favourite Kapital pieces.

Is the Tugihagi Kakashi a yearly release? Been searching for one at a reasonable price.

One just got listed on grilled for $869 which is actually a pretty decent price. Probably not going to see one much lower than that. I think I paid $828 for mine off fashionship, which was the lowest price I've seen anywhere.

Standard and strange had one for $1179 as did glasswing. I think @shopcanoeclub had some recently but don't remember the price.

Seems like shops periodically get them in? Not quite sure if it's a seasonal thing or not.

A word of caution. I've tried the tugihagi and it was a whole lot more scratchy than I was expecting. That being said, the one I tried was brand new, so I don't know how it develops. Also, we're all different when it comes to wool scratchiness, so ymmv.

Yeah I just saw the one on Grailed, was hoping to get it closer to retail (or even from the web shop assuming it gets restocked). Would you echo the same thoughts about the scratchiness that hoodog had?

So the blue knit parts of it are pretty soft and not that scratchy, but the texture/fabric on the patches is ridiculous. Thick, stiff and scratchy. Once you've had it on a bit you don't really notice, but it's a far cry from your standard soft virgin wool sweater, that's for sure.

Do the kakashi shirts run slim/small or are the measurements misleading? I checked their website, shoulders look fine but chest is listed as ~22" for a size 4 and they rarely make size 5.

A lot of large tees in the US have that size chest. Maybe I got too fat to fit Kapital (6'1" 195 lbs) other than their ring coat and oversized stuff? I'm a TTS large but sometimes size up for slimmer tops. Would appreciate any help.

Which Kakashi are you looking at? I can measure one of mine later if you want and get back to you. I only have size 4 Kakashis.

Thanks, I would love measurements. I was looking at the bandana one but have also been eyeing the 4 tone denim and the hickory stripe one too. Is there a lot of variance in the sizing or do they all fit roughly the same?

The bandana one is, strangely, considerably smaller than the others. I have my bandana Kakashi packed away until spring, but I have the 4-Tone available. I'll take some measurements later tonight and post them here. ?

Only the chest measurement then?

I would say that all my Kakashis (I have four) fit the same except for the bandana one.
