BTW Kinokuniya in NYC worked out. They cost a bit more than initially thought, (inclusive of shipping, $52 in the end vs their quote of $42), but still not bad.
UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

Actually, I had a better offer than $180 off eBay --- the Kiton agent in one of the European countries (which shall remain unnamed) offered a bunch of new Kiton ties (for 2005) and cash for the magazine. I had no intention to make such quick cash initially. I purchased a number of copies from my recent Tokyo trip to give to friends (yes, Thracozaag, you are not yet forgotten), and I was merely selling my leftovers. They cost about US$15, and I thought if I could sell $30 I would be happy. I ended up earning a new pair of shoes just selling two copies of the magazine. This has got to be my brightest eBay moment.Shoe-nuts are a strange lot. Naturlaut had great success with the Japanese shoe-magazine, which sold for $ 180.00. Here someone copied him and did very well too: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws....MEWA:IT Taking into account this magazine has only come out recently and is available at every well-stocked French newsagent for, I believe, € 6.90 (about $ 7.50).
Good for you.I ended up earning a new pair of shoes just selling two copies of the magazine.

I have this too, though I think it is 'outdated' as I don't see them on newstand or bookstores anymore in Japan. I enjoy the section on leather goods very much, as it gave me plenty of ideas for my next briefcase. Incidentally, there is a place that Japanese love to go in Rome for briefcases. It's called Saddler's Union, if anyone's interested. They also make bespoke shoes (which I ordered earlier this month). The two craftsmen there can't speak more than a few words in English, but I see that 50% of their business come from Japanese.There also was also a volume devoted to Leather goods called uÅ vv. It had profiles of shoes, belts, wallets etc. Â

My wife bought a soft sided briefcase there a few years back. I personally don't remember the shoes that wellYes it is. Â Have you any experience with them? Â I was there because some Japanese freak (who else?) recommended the place to me. Â It's on the same side as Brioni, but I found it when I came out from Battistoni.
How big are the scans? You can always make use of some free hosting site like aloofhosting.com.A Bonora wholecut, to be exact. Â Wish Imageshack would work so I could post a picture.
