Hello. I ran into a Japanese exchange student with a brilliant coat today on my campus (PSU, Portland) and was told the company was called "Slow Wear" (though I didn't get a chance to check the tag for myself). After a few minutes searching around I've identified several blogs talking loosely about the label but haven't found any online presence for the purchase of these cloths. I found Atsui Tokyo, but they don't carry Slow Wear either. Can anybody help me find an online product catalog, vendor or something along these lines? Thank you very much.

You should try the "Rakuten Ichiba" link up top

Working on it for FW! Rakuten is the only option in US for now.

I haven't seen it in person yet, but I have heard some good things. I will see it next month. It is really getting some attention in Japan right now, so I am curious about the hype.

I have many other things in the works right now. Slow Wear is on the list, but there are a couple others that may have priority. Everyone will see in a few weeks

I realized that I also bought a pair of denim from a store in 109-2 that was Slow Wear brand, they are pretty ok but the rise is a bit high for my taste. Non selvage, sanfordized, natural indigo, slight taper. Got them on Winter Clearance for like $50 down from $200
