Kapital - hippies, Japanese farmers and post-apocalypse survivors

[tdes81]

Sweet. Will you wear them at the next Drunk Posting Session™? ?

Maybe even sooner! Although I've been on the wagon for the last couple weeks to lose some weight.

All Kapital except for some lazy slippers going out to fire up the grill. I’m assuming this denim is gonna soften up with some wear and washes.

I have not -- got any shots of it? Would love to see it. Should I just not give a **** and wash/dry these warm/hot? I pretty much baby all my stuff with a cold wash and delicate or air dry. I'm loving the relaxed fit on these, I wouldn't have much problem wearing them all day every day.

Huge thanks to Bandanna Almanac for helping me pick up my pair. A 32 seems to be perfect for my waist - I wear a 29/30 usually, for reference. I put some black Kapital cargos on top to show the color difference.

Easing up to the way it fits. Just gotta keep wearing it like you guys said

obviously off-topic, but it seems like at least a few of you would know - any recommendations for forums (other than reddit) to research moving to japan?

I know you didn't ask for Reddit, but /r/JapanLife is pretty much the recommended community for expats in Japan. Outside of that there's plenty of "Moved to Japan to be an X" blogs (insert whatever job you have).

I moved to Japan 2 years ago and it's been a blast (minus the COVID).

I don't know, Japan reddit stuff is a cesspool. A lot of people not knowing what they are getting into and bitching about the most mundane things, people trying to get a hopes and dreams visa, and a ton of bad memes. I think it's better researching about it in a more organic way. Such as researching careers that would lead you to that goal, in demand job types, the news, local companies with branches in Japan etc etc..

I didn't really do any research until it was already set that I was moving here, but reddit was rarely helpful. I mean there really isn't much research besides you either are good as hell at what you do so a company from Japan hires you and does all the work for you or you do english teaching.

 

[keykoo]

Every community is going to have a fair bit of bad apples, but it's probably the best place to get a quick answer about something specific.

 

[peachfuzzmcgee]

Also I think the reddit is r/moving to japan or something because Japanlife bans you if you post and don't live in japan, I believe.

for those who have the century 123, did you all soak once or twice before wearing? was hoping to get away with not soaking at all but i know the crocking is particularly back with these.

Washed once.
