EK is code for Repro meaning that the item is from a previous season. Kap is for all the standard jeans.

Oh, so each item that has another number than EK is from the current season or have only been produced once? Like this kakashi shirt that has K2010LS049 as its article number? It's from the A/W season, but only done once afaik.


How come some items, like the Kathmandu shirt, have more than one EK-number? The Kathmandu shirt has EK-389, EK-475 and EK-760.


There's actually another variant out there. Some items seems to have an article number consisting of both the above. Like the feather denim trucker jacket that has K1909LJ004EK-981 as its article number. What's the reason for this?

Is anyone interested in picking one of these up in a Size 3? I don't wear mine as often as I would like.
Depending on your asking price and the fit I'd be interested. Feel free to shoot me a message. Typically I wear a large in american sizing and I know for Kapital I go for a 3 or 4.

Are there any chances of any of this stuff being restocked by the way? Looking for them also in a size 3-4.

Kapital restocked the drunk stripe kakashi on their webshop and I believe the jacket too towards the beginning of the year. I'm not sure they will restock anything again.

Probably they made one small change to the design or fabric.

Because they are lazy

Because they are lazy and didn't delete the original SKU.

I hope you can see a pattern forming here.

Recent pickups: Finally got the western blanket ring coat, they only had the red one left when I was in Japan a few years back and I've been searching since. Really nice texture.

The Tri-P coat was a drunken yahoo bid which i kinda regretted... but am now pleasantly surprised. Basically a shorter version of the ring coat, but with a normal sized hood its somewhat easier to wear. Quite happy with it given what i paid (~10k yen).

Geez I love the western blanket coat. Looked for it for a couple years on secondary market before I gave it up (also have 3 at this point). What size did you get?

32k on mercari! I saw one listed on grailed for 500 USD last year so I jumped at this :cool:

Great deal. I'd have paid even the $500 (and in fact did pay that, on the Kapital webshop) for that jacket.

how long does it take to get some thing from kapital to the us? Do y’all use zenmarket or something?
I ordered via ZenMarket on 7/2, and my package was delivered on 7/13. I used DHL shipping, so the actual purchasing of the items and the shipment from Kapital to the ZM warehouse took much longer than the shipping from Japan to California lol
