Our social media guy Alex walks you through his Tanuki collection!
The Denimio team recently talked about the fact that we love this communal feel of the denim world and that while we interact with so many people on a daily basis, you might not know too much about us and what we love about denim. We thought it might be a great idea to ask various members of our team to give you a bit of an insight into our denim routines. I hear Saint Peter, our Customer Care God, will chime in next and some of the members in Japan, Kazuya, Riki, and Ryosuke will share their personal stories soon. But today, it’s my turn.
Hey, my name is Alex and you might have talked to me on Instagram. I’ve been posting indigo related goodies for the last seven years and it got me in touch with so many amazing individuals over time, I am really grateful for that. I am 29 years old, I currently reside in France. Before I joined Denimio as a part-timer, I lived in London for a BA in Communications. For my BA, I had the chance to go to Japan for 4 weeks to do an internship in Yokohama. I was always interested in denim and when I visited the Denimio brick and mortar store, I fell deep into the rabbit hole. If you ever find yourself in Yokohama, I highly recommend our I basically went there every day, and at some point, I started to run Denimio’s Instagram.
I recently realized that while I have a massive collection of denim, which comes naturally working for Denimio, my current rotation features quite a bit of Tanuki denim. When we started carrying them, I didn’t care too much about them. I think I was still checking out all the more established brands like Momotaro and Samurai, so the initial hype about them kinda passed me by. That changed when they changed their hardware, the shape of their back pockets and the embroidery on the pocket, something just clicked.
My second pair was the Zetto High Tapered. These have so much slub which really becomes apparent when you look at the weft. The material was very coarse for the first couple of wears but softened up immediately. They are very breathable, so I can wear them most of the year apart from the Summer. Back in the day, I tried to wash as little as possible but for this one, I washed whenever necessary. The slubby knots were the first to chip away the indigo which results in what the Japanese call freckle fades. The color has changed drastically from the dark blue with a greenish tint to a bright royal blue. They have seen quite a bit of wear and countless washes and they are still going strong. Unfortunately, I only have one pair of legs for too many pairs of jeans. These are almost sold out but you might find your size here.
This pair is special. The color is so so so unique, I handled a lot of denim in my life but when these were released, they were going so fast, that I was seriously worried to miss out. I scored one of the last pairs and I was delighted when they arrived. They are so light and smooth. These are even wearable in the summer. The bright blue is surely controversial for more traditional denim heads. It’s bold but for summer, all it takes is a nice piece of sneakers (may I recommend YOAK, great construction and they are not widely known outside of Japan) and a nice loop wheeled shirt and you’re set. I know that most of you are in a position where it’s hard to justify yet another pair, but with this one, you won’t struggle to point out why and how it’s different from the rest. When I open my wardrobe and I look at 17 pairs of Japanese raw denim, I can immediately spot the KAZE fabric. And good news for all of you, we recently restocked them in Tapered, High Tapered, and a Type 3 jacket. You are spoilt for choice.
My newest pair, the THT, I bought out of pure necessity. Working for denimio, every day I cannot wear denim feels lost to me. I don’t own any chinos and I don’t own any shorts. The KAZE is great but when it’s 35 degrees, I needed something like linen pants or something. The TEN fabric is exactly that. The fabric is so light, hold them against the sun and you can see how low the tension of this fabric is. The bizarre thing about them is how insanely textured they are. They are slubby but what really sells me is the mad amount of fuzz. When I put them on, they reminded me of woolly trousers, almost like felt but light as a feather. It is an outstanding combination that you don’t come across very often. They fade very nicely, but that is not even the point for me so much with these. The texture simply becomes more apparent with every wear.
So that’s my little Tanuki collection. I am toying with the idea of getting another one. Let me know which pair you think I should get next in the comments!

我的社群媒体伙伴Alex将带领您一览他的Tanuki系列
Denimio 团队最近谈到了一个事实,就是我们都喜欢丹宁世界的归属感,虽然我们每天必须与各式各样的群众互动,但事实上,您对于我们是谁以及为什麽我们会这麽热爱丹宁都感到相当陌生吧。因此,这也许会是一个好点子,让我们团队中的各个成员都为您分享一些有关丹宁日常工作的事,让您可一探我们究竟在做些什麽。我听说我们的客服之神圣彼得大帝,将会是下一个分享的人,接着是在日本的Kazuya,Riki都将轮番上场,此外,Ryosuke也将分享他精彩的个人故事呢。但,今天就先听我说吧。
我的第二件裤子是 Zetto High Tapered,当你看着它的纬纱时,你会發现这件裤子的竹节的确很明显。一开始穿时,你会感觉布料非常的粗犷,但经过几番穿着之后,它会立即变软。此外,这件裤子非常透气,所以大部分的时间都很适合穿它。清洗方面,除非必要,不然我其实很少清洗这件牛仔裤,但值得注意的是,裤子的颜色会产生戏剧性的变化,从深蓝色到偏绿,进而演变成明亮的宝蓝色,此外,这裤子很耐穿,即使经过多次磨损和无数次的清洗,它依旧健壮。不幸的是,我的裤子太多了,但我只有一双腿。这件裤子很热销,快来找找您的尺码。
这件很特别,颜色超级独特,我一生中处理了很多丹宁,从没有像这样让我欣喜若狂,当它被發佈时,它的销售数度非常快速,以至于我非常担心会错过它,但当我得到它的时候,我非常开心。因为它很轻又舒适,是夏天搭配的不二人选。大胆且明亮的蓝色色系对于传统的牛仔爱好者来说,可能会感到有点为难。在夏天,你只需要的一件圆领上衣和一双很棒的运动鞋,这样就可以了。鞋子方面,也许我可以推荐YOAK。这品牌有着出色的结构,但目前在日本以外的地方还未广为人知。我知道你们大多数的人都很难分辨丹宁布料,但是有了这一件,你大可放心,因为你可以轻鬆分辨出它与其他款式的不同。当我打开我的衣橱,看着17件日本原牛时,我立马就可以认出 KAZE 面料。另外,有一个好消息给大家!我们最近重新补了锥形、高锥、还有Type 3外套。
这是我的小小Tanuki收藏系列。我想再挑一件,你觉得我该挑哪一件好呢?快留言在下面给我。

When I open my wardrobe and I look at 17 pairs of Japanese raw denim, I can immediately spot the KAZE fabric. And good news for all of you, we recently restocked them in Tapered, High Tapered, and a Type 3 jacket. You are spoilt for choice.
My newest pair, the THT, I bought out of pure necessity. Working for denimio, every day I cannot wear denim feels lost to me. I don’t own any chinos and I don’t own any shorts. The KAZE is great but when it’s 35 degrees, I needed something like linen pants or something. The TEN fabric is exactly that. The fabric is so light, hold them against the sun and you can see how low the tension of this fabric is. The bizarre thing about them is how insanely textured they are. They are slubby but what really sells me is the mad amount of fuzz. When I put them on, they reminded me of woolly trousers, almost like felt but light as a feather. It is an outstanding combination that you don’t come across very often. They fade very nicely, but that is not even the point for me so much with these. The texture simply becomes more apparent with every wear.
So that’s my little tanuki collection. I am toying with the idea of getting another one. Let me know which pair you think I should get next in the comments!
Наш сотрудник Алекс, работающий в сфере социальных сетей познакомит вас со своей коллекцией Tanuki!
Команда Denimio недавно говорила о том, что нам нравится это чувство сопричастности в мире джинсов, и что, хотя мы ежедневно взаимодействуем с таким большим количеством людей, вы можете не слишком много знать о нас и о том, что нам нравится из денима. Мы подумали, что было бы хорошей идеей попросить различных членов нашей команды рассказать вам о наших пристрастиях. Участники нашей команды из Японии, Kazuya, Riki, и Ryosuke вскоре поделятся своими историями. Но сегодня моя очередь.
Привет, Меня зовут Алекс, вы наверняка могли сталикиваться со мной в Instagram. Последние 7 лет я публикую различный контент, связанный с денимом. Моё увлечение помогло мне познакомиться со многими интересными людьми в этой сфере. Мне 29 лет и в настоящее время я проживаю во Франции. Я сотрудничаю с магазином Denimio , Я жил в Лондоне и получил степень бакалавра в области работы с общественными коммуникациями. По моей учёбе у меня была возможность съездить в Японию на 4 недели и пожить в Иокогаме. Я давно интересовался японским денимом, однажды я посетил Denimio в их небольшом и уютном магазине. Если вы бываете в Иокогаме, я очень рекомендую зайти в этот магазин. Я очень часто заходил сюда просто пообщаться, однажды я начал заниматься Instagram аккаунтом Denimio.
На самом деле уже тогда я имел неплохую коллекцию японских джинсов, что-то я приобретал в Denimio, так получилось что сейчас предметом моей страсти является такой бренд, как Tanuki. Не могу сказать. что я заинтересовался этой маркой сразу, так как долгое время я был очарован продуктами таких грандов, как Momotaro и Samurai, весь хайп вокруг Tanuki на начальных этапах прошёл мимо меня. Я заинтересовался их вещами, когда они изменили детализацию. Во мне вдруг что-то щёлкнуло!
Второй моей парой были Zetto High Tapered. Это был настоящий и очень выразительный слабби-деним, при том что это не очень тяжёлые джинсы. Первоначально деним казался очень жёстким, но они стали комфортными для меня через очень короткий промежуток времени. Джинсы хорошо пропускают воздух и я ношу их довольно часто, кроме очень жарких летних дней. Раньше я старался стирать джинсы как можно реже, сейчас я стираю по мере необходимости. “Узелки” на поверхности денима стали первыми, где стал проявляться яркий фейдинг. Казалось, что фактура денима становилась похожей на звёздное небо (кстати, японцы называют это “веснушками”) . Очень резко стал приобретать насыщенный королевский синий оттенок. Джинсы носились очень долго и видели бесчисленное количество стирок. К сожалению, у меня есть только одна пара ног на слишком много пар джинсов. Сейчас эта модель почти закончилась, но вы всё ещё можете посмотреть свой размер.
Kaze. Эта пара особенная. Цвет действительно необычен и это нетипично для большинства японских джинсов. Это были лёгкие и воздушные джинсы. Их можно носить даже летом. Ярко-синий, безусловно, вызывает споры для более консервативных денимхедов. Это смело, но для лета достаточно хороших кроссовок (могу порекомендовать YOAK, отличная конструкция, бренд мало известен за пределами Японии). Я знаю, что большинство из нас имеют много пар джинсов и приобретение ещё одной пары является не очень простым шагом:) Но эти джинсы действительно отличаются от других. Когда я открываю свой гардероб и смотрю на 17 пар японского денима, я сразу вижу ткань KAZE. И хорошие новости для всех вас, мы недавно пополнили их запасами Tapered, High Tapered и куртки Type 3. У вас есть выбор.
Свою последнюю пару, THT, я купил по необходимости. Очень часто бывает погода, когда джинсы носить практически невозможно. У меня нет ни брюк, ни шорт. Деним KAZE великолепен, но когда температура 35 градусов, мне нужно что-то вроде льняных штанов. Деним TEN именно таков. Если вы посмотрите его на свет, то вы увидите, насколько он лёгкий. Самое странное в них то, насколько они безумно фактурны. Когда я надел эти джинсы, они напомнили мне лёгкие шерстяные брюки. Это замечательное сочетание! И эти джинсы очень быстро получают фейдинг.
Это моя маленькая коллекция Tanuki. Я подумываю о приобретении новой пары. Я буду благодарен за любые идеи в комментариях!
คุณ Alex คอยีนส์จากโซเชียลมีเดีย จะพาคุณไปชมคอลเลคชั่นยีนส์ Tanuki กัน!
ทีมงาน Denimio ได้มีโอกาสพูดคุยกันในทีมว่า เราน่าจะนำเสนอมุมมองความชอบเรื่องยีนส์ตามประสาคอเดียวกัน เราและกลุ่มลูกค้าต่างมีความชอบ ความสนใจเหมือนกันอยู่แล้ว ซึ่งคงจะดีไม่น้อยถ้าแฟน ๆ ได้รู้จักสไตล์และรสนิยมเรื่องยีนส์จากทีมงานที่คร่ำหวอดอยู่กับวงการยีนส์จริง ๆ เราจึงมีไอเดียที่จะลองสอบถามข้อมูลเชิงลึกจากทีมงาน Denimio ถึงเรื่องยีนส์ตัวโปรดของแต่ละท่าน หนึ่งในนั้นคือ คุณปีเตอร์ สุดยอดกูรูจากทีมบริการลูกค้า (Customer Care) รวมถึงทีมงานญี่ปุ่นท่านอื่น ได้แก่ คุณคาสึยะ คุณริกิและคุณเรียวสึเกะ ที่จะทยอยกันมาบอกเล่าเรื่องราวผ่านบล็อกในครั้งต่อไป ส่วนอินไซด์ครั้งแรกนี้เป็นคิวเบิกฤกษ์ของคุณ Alex เรามาอ่านบทสัมภาษณ์ของชายผู้นี้กันเลยดีกว่าครับ
”สวัสดีครับ ผม Alex อายุ 29 ปี ปัจจุบันอาศัยอยู่ในประเทศฝรั่งเศสครับ บางที่คุณอาจจะเคยแชทกับผมผ่าน Instagram มาบ้างแล้วก็ได้ เพราะผมทำหน้าที่ดูแลอินสตาแกรมหลักของร้านนั่นเอง ตั้งแต่รับหน้าที่โพสภาพยีนส์ผ่านอินสตาแกรมมาตลอด 7 ปี ผมได้แชทแลกเปลี่ยนประสบการณ์กับคอยีนส์หลายท่านมาตลอด แฮปปี้มากครับ ขอเล่าย้อนกลับนิดนึงว่าเมื่อก่อนผมมาช่วย Denimio เป็นทีมงานพาร์ทไทม์เท่านั้น ช่วงนั้นผมเรียนปริญญาตรีด้านการสื่อสาร ระหว่างนั้นได้มีโอกาสไปฝึกงานที่เมืองโยโกฮามา ประเทศญี่ปุ่นอยู่ราว ๆ 4 สัปดาห์ ผมสนใจยีนส์มานานแล้ว วันหนึ่งเลยไปที่ช้อปสโตร์ของ Denimio เข้าไปแล้วก็สวรรค์เลย ไม่อยากเดินออกมา เพลินตามากครับ หากใครที่ยังไม่เคยแวะไปช้อปสโตร์ที่โยโกฮามา ผมแนะนำว่าต้องมาโดนสักครั้ง ผมไปที่ร้านเกือบทุกวัน จนได้มาดูแล Instagram ของ Denimio นี่แหละครับ”
“ผมมารู้ตัวอีกทีตอนทำงานกับ Denimio ผมก็เริ่มสะสมยีนส์เยอะขึ้นเรื่อย ๆ ตอนนี้ก็เล่นยีนส์ Tanuki อยู่ครับ แรก ๆ ที่แบรนด์เพิ่งเปิดตัวก็ไม่ค่อยได้สนใจเท่าไร เพราะเราก็เล่นแต่ยีนส์แบรนด์ดัง ๆ อย่าง Momotaro และ Samurai มากกว่า จุดเปลี่ยนที่เริ่มหันมาลองใส่ยีนส์ Tanuki ก็ตอนที่ปรับดีไซน์ ฮาร์ดแวร์ ทรงและลายปักบนกระเป๋าหลังของยีนส์ ผมว่ามันมีเสน่ห์ดีครับ”
“ตอนนั้นแฟนของผม (ปัจจุบันเป็นคู่หมั้นกันครับ) อยากให้ผมใส่ยีนส์ให้พอดีตัวหน่อย ผมเลยจัดยีนส์ NSXT มาก่อน จากที่เคยสงสัยยีนส์ผ้ายืด จนมาลองใส่ด้วยตัวเองก็ถึงรู้ว่ายีนส์ไม่ได้ยืดอย่างที่คิด ยีนสืค่อนข้างแน่น ในความคิดของผมเมื่อนึกถึงยีนส์ยืด (stretch
) ก็มโนเองว่าผ้าต้องเรียบ ขึ้นเงาบ้าง แต่มันไม่ใช่อย่างที่คิด เพราะผ้ายีนส์รุ่นนี้มันหยาบ ขึ้นเป็นปอยขนเหนือสีอินดิโก้ธรรมชาติเข้ม ๆ คือดีเกินคาดครับ! เอาเข้าจริงผมก็ไม่ได้ใส่ตัวนี้บ่อย เพราะร้อนครับ อากาศไม่อำนวย แต่ผมมักจะใส่ช่วงฤดูหนาว ยิ่งใส่กับบู้ทหนังและเสื้อเชิ้ตอ๊อกซ์ฟอร์ด แจ่ม ครบเครื่องเลยครับ”
”สำหรับยีนส์ Tanuki รุ่นต่อมาที่ผมลองก็คือ Zetto ทรงเอวสูง โอ้โห ผ้ารุ่นนี้ยิ่งหยาบกว่าเดิมอีกครับ ยิ่งมองไปที่ลายด้ายพุ่ง ยิ่งเห็นความหยาบคมมาก แต่ไม่อึดอัด ยังระบายอากาศได้บ้าง หลังจากใส่ไปสัก 2-3 ครั้ง ผ้าจะเริ่มนิ่มขึ้น รุ่นนี้ผมใส่ได้ทุกฤดูครับ ใส่ได้บ่อยมากกว่ารุ่นแรก แต่จะซักเท่าที่จำเป็นครับ หลังจากผ่านการซัก จะสังเกตเห็นรอยเฟดค่อย ๆ ชัดขึ้นบริเวณที่เป็นลายเส้นนูนหยาบเหนือเนื้อผ้า ซึ่งเรียกว่ารอย “freckle fades” โทนจะเฟดจากสีน้ำเงินเข้มเป็นสีเหลือบเขียวจนกลายเป็นสีฟ้าสว่าง ถึงจะผ่านการซักหรือเฟดมาพอประมาณ แต่ยีนส์ยังมีความทนทานอยู่มากครับ น่าเสียดายที่ผมมีขาคู่เดียว อยากได้ยีนส์เพิ่มอีก รุ่นนี้ใกล้จะสต็อก หากใครสนใจก็ยังพอมีบางไซส์เหลืออยู่นะครับ”
“ยีนส์รุ่นมีความพิเศษมากในเรื่องสีสัน ผมสะสมยีนส์มาหลายตัว เพิ่งเคยเห็นยีนส์รุ่นนี้พอปล่อยออกมา ผมนี่เกือบกดสั่งซื้อแทบไม่ทัน สุดท้ายก็คว้ามาได้นะครับ พอเห็นยีนส์ครั้งแรก ถูกใจมากครับ เนื้อผ้าเรียบไม่สะดุดมือเหมือนรุ่นที่แล้ว แต่คอยีนส์อีกแนวที่ชอบผ้าคม ๆ เข้ม ๆ อาจจะไม่ค่อยว้าวกับสีสัน จะว่าไปแล้วยีนส์รุ่นนี้ใส่ช่วงฤดูร้อนก็เข้ากับอากาศดีเหมือนกันครับ หารองเท้าผ้าใบเท่ ๆ สักคู่มาใส่เข้ากันได้ดีมาก (รองเท้าประมาณ YOAK แบรนด์นี้อาจยังไม่ค่อยเป็นที่รู้จักนัก แต่คนญี่ปุ่นจะทราบดีว่าดีไซน์และคุณภาพรองเท้าแบรนด์นี้สมราคา) เสริมด้วยเสื้อเชิ้ตในแบบที่คุณชอบอีกหน่อย จบสวยครับ! ผมเข้าใจดีเลยครับว่าการที่เราจะตัดสินใจซื้อยีนส์ที่ฉีกแนวออกไปจากที่เคยใส่ คงต้องคิดหนักพอสมควร ผมฝากไว้สั้น ๆ สำหรับรุ่นนี้ เป็นรุ่นที่เปิดตู้เสื้อผ้าออกมาแล้ว ผมเห็น KAZE เด่นชัดก่อนยีนส์ 17 ตัวที่เหลือในตู้ครับ หมดคำถามในใจว่า ซื้อยีนส์ตัวใหม่มาแล้วต่างกับตัวเก่ายังไง? สำหรับใครที่สนใจ Denimio รีสต็อกรุ่นนี้เพิ่ม รวมทั้งแจ็กเก็ต Type 3 ด้วยครับ เลือกชม เลือกช้อปกันได้ตามชอบครับ”
”ส่วนยีนส์ตัวล่าสุด คือรุ่น THT ซื้อมาด้วยความอยากล้วน ๆ ผมทำงานกับ Denimio แล้วไม่ได้ลองยีนส์ใหม่ ๆ มันก็คันมือ คันขานะครับ ผมไม่ได้ซื้อกางเกงผ้า chino หรือแม้แต่กางเกงขาสั้นบ่อยเท่ายีนส์ ยีนส์ KAZE ตัวก่อนก็ใส่ดีมาก แต่พอช่วงอากาศราว 35 องศา มันร้อนมาก ผมเลยอยากได้กางเกงผ้าลินินหรืออะไรแนว ๆ นั้น ซึ่งผ้ายีนส์รุ่น TEN ตอบโจทย์ ตัวผ้าจะเบามาก ผมลองจับยีนส์ส่องกับแสงแดด จะรู้เลยว่าผ้าผ่านการทอแบบแรงตึงผิวต่ำ ความหนาแน่นของผ้าจึงน้อย ทำให้ระบายอากาศได้ดีมาก จุดเด่นอยู่ที่เท็กซ์เจอร์ที่แปลกตาคือ ผ้ามีความหยาบ ตอนซื้อมาแรก ๆ ผ้าขึ้นขน พอใส่ไปสักพัก รู้สึกเหมือนใส่กางเกงผ้าสักหลาดแต่เบาเหมือนขนนก! เป็นการผสมผสานที่ลงตัวและไม่ค่อยพบยีนส์แบบนี้มากนัก ตอนสีเฟดออกก็สวยไม่เบาครับ แต่ผมไม่ได้ซีเรียสเรื่องเฟด ผมว้าวเรื่องผ้าของยีนส์รุ่นนี้ครับ ใส่ง่าย ยิ่งใส่ ยิ่งเห็นความเซอร์ไพรส์”
ทั้งหมดนี้ก็เป็นคอลเลคชั่น Tanuki ขนาดย่อมของผมเอง ผมมีแพลนต้อนรับยีนส์ตัวใหม่เร็ว ๆ นี้ด้วย คุณคิดว่าผมจะซื้อรุ่นไหนดี? ช่วยคอมเม้นท์บอกผมทีนะครับ 🙂
Our social media guy Alex walks you through his Tanuki collection!
The Denimio team recently talked about the fact that we love this communal feel of the denim world and that while we interact with so many people on a daily basis, you might not know too much about us and what we love about denim. We thought it might be a great idea to ask various members of our team to give you a bit of an insight into our denim routines. I hear Saint Peter, our Customer Care God, will chime in next and some of the members in Japan, Kazuya, Riki, and Ryosuke will share their personal stories soon. But today, it’s my turn.
Hey, my name is Alex and you might have talked to me on Instagram. I’ve been posting indigo related goodies for the last seven years and it got me in touch with so many amazing individuals over time, I am really grateful for that. I am 29 years old, I currently reside in France. Before I joined Denimio as a part-timer, I lived in London for a BA in Communications. For my BA, I had the chance to go to Japan for 4 weeks to do an internship in Yokohama. I was always interested in denim and when I visited the Denimio brick and mortar store, I fell deep into the rabbit hole. If you ever find yourself in Yokohama, I highly recommend our I basically went there every day, and at some point, I started to run Denimio’s Instagram.
I recently realized that while I have a massive collection of denim, which comes naturally working for Denimio, my current rotation features quite a bit of Tanuki denim. When we started carrying them, I didn’t care too much about them. I think I was still checking out all the more established brands like Momotaro and Samurai, so the initial hype about them kinda passed me by. That changed when they changed their hardware, the shape of their back pockets and the embroidery on the pocket, something just clicked.
My second pair was the Zetto High Tapered. These have so much slub which really becomes apparent when you look at the weft. The material was very coarse for the first couple of wears but softened up immediately. They are very breathable, so I can wear them most of the year apart from the Summer. Back in the day, I tried to wash as little as possible but for this one, I washed whenever necessary. The slubby knots were the first to chip away the indigo which results in what the Japanese call freckle fades. The color has changed drastically from the dark blue with a greenish tint to a bright royal blue. They have seen quite a bit of wear and countless washes and they are still going strong. Unfortunately, I only have one pair of legs for too many pairs of jeans. These are almost sold out but you might find your size here.
This pair is special. The color is so so so unique, I handled a lot of denim in my life but when these were released, they were going so fast, that I was seriously worried to miss out. I scored one of the last pairs and I was delighted when they arrived. They are so light and smooth. These are even wearable in the summer. The bright blue is surely controversial for more traditional denim heads. It’s bold but for summer, all it takes is a nice piece of sneakers (may I recommend YOAK, great construction and they are not widely known outside of Japan) and a nice loop wheeled shirt and you’re set. I know that most of you are in a position where it’s hard to justify yet another pair, but with this one, you won’t struggle to point out why and how it’s different from the rest.
