Love the video! You should do more location shoots. Would love to see a "people of Tokyo" type video where you showcase different peoples' fashion styles and stuff. I've been to Japan a few times and have barely scratched the surface
Top tip to those planning to thrift in Tokyo: the vintage menswear section at 2nd Street Harajuku (down in the basement) is an absolute gem if you can't fit Koenji/Kichijoji to your schedule. I couldn't believe such a place existed and I quite literally bought LOADS of Japan exclusive North Face Purple Label stuff, Patagonia outerwear and vintage collegiate sweatshirts all for very reasonable prices.
I've always been curious about how you approach vintage shopping when looking for a look. A video series about how to vintage shop with a style in mind could help those not only know where to shop, but what kind of characteristics in clothing items to look for. I'd really like to see you take on a Yohji style for this kind of video.
RAGTAG is a dream, especially the big one in Shibuya and even the smaller ones like in Shimo-kitazawa. Plenty of mint condition items that have been cleaned, categorized and curated. Plus they have a really good mix of brands, styles and prices from just 2000 yen onwards.
Love your work always Reggie! Keep up the awesome work. I always go to your channel for fashion inspiration. Will have to try hit up your Airbnb tour when I go back to Tokyo next year.
Hey, guy, I just got to Japan and I've also been getting into the idea of street fashion. I'd love to see you do videos on the fashion scenes of different cities like Kyoto, Osaka, Okinawa, or even somewhere just outside of Tokyo like Saitama! Keep up the good work, man!
this video was super helpful! Im studying in singapore right now and super interested in going to japan, especially for the fashion culture! more videos like this please :)
thumbs up for showing those Wang's at 2:55 - man those are well worked over. I have lived here for 20 some years and I think we are on the same page. My advice is hit the streets watch the styles and from that work out what you want to take away.
MISSED YA. I'm already planning another trip to Japan because what I experienced earlier this fashion wise was crazy. Ngl I "wasted" so much time just strolling through Jingumae for a few days
I found H&M in Japan had a lot nicer items than here in Sydney, was a lot more organized and categorized too, I really liked it, it's a fucking mess here and I never shop at H&M
Planning to go next week. Definitely following this guide. Thanks Reggie! Btw, where's the best place to shop accessories? like the one you're wearing?
Hey Reggie, great video and love the channel. I have a question for you. Planning a trip to Japan and have been watching a ton of your shopping videos. I wear a US men’s XL (got a taller torso), I’m not heavy but I have a bulkier frame. Would you say it’s hard to find secondhand finds in that size?
1:59 LostHills store I saw them on insta but came across the shop randomly. It was like "Lets go there. Oh they sell a brand I like!" Brilliant shop. Really good staff. They might have a problem with scaling their own brands and having a constant amount of stock coming into their shop though.
Yo Reggie, would it be possible to make a video on differences between Tokyo and Osaka street style, or something similar? Personally lived in Osaka for a few years, would love to see my city get some love
Wish be at Japan and miss Japan badly~ miss the Foods and Shopping~ Hope the COVID-19 pandemic getting well soon... Luckily I still can shop my snack, figures and Japan vintage stuff from hoyoyo Japan Proxy web~
Love your show! Where do bigger guys (US XL, XXL; 36-40 waist) shop? Bigger guys in Japan do exist but where do they go? That would be a very helpful episode if you haven’t done it already.
I went to big shop when I was in tokyo , not having Uniqlo in Canada back then. I think giant shop like the flagship store in Ginza is worth visiting but yah you problably won't find anything special. I spend two full nights just walking around in thrift shop I still feel like I misses out on a lot of them
Hey, im going to Japan in less than 1 month, and i was wondering if its possible to find clothes that fit for some one who is 185cm ? ( Especially for the Japanese brands ) Nice video dude :)!
I've never heard anyone say they went shopping in japan just to brag about going to western brands they could've shopped at back home... never. And I know tons of girls in my age range (20s) who've been there, including me. Usually they'll shop at japanese ff brands like Wego or POC (the o is actually a heart) or go to those major shopping centers like Shibuya 109 if they're in Tokyo. And also Shimokitazawa (I think, if I remember correctly)... it was a trendy place with tons of vintage shops. I bought a kappa jacket there, but I'm still not sure if it was real.
I went to Japan, and yeah 6”6 will be tough, but that being said, so many clothes are super baggy. Oversized is Japan’s thing, so these oversized clothes might fit regularly on you. Japans “medium” is an international “small” from what I remember, so it can be difficult to find XL or XXL clothing. Worth sussing either way, look hard enough and you’ll find stuff
carmeister it is even ahead of time. But a cheat code to that is that you should book your flights from lax to japan since its more expensive to fly out from the bay. If you’re from the bay, spend that cash you saved on a roundtrip to and from lax
Depends on how you get there. I live in the Bay Area and my options usually boil down to either SF or San Jose airport to Narita. Though I’ve once had to take a flight from SJ to Haneda since it was cheaper that way. Also, turning cookies off while looking for ticket deals should help to find better prices because depending on your location, tickets will be cheaper or expensive.
I'm trying to stay longer than 3 months but me and my gf ain't married yet and we don't want to necessary be English teachers just cuz that's what they hiring for.
Love the video! You should do more location shoots. Would love to see a "people of Tokyo" type video where you showcase different peoples' fashion styles and stuff. I've been to Japan a few times and have barely scratched the surface
For real because all of the attention seems to be fixiated to Harajuku and I know there are way more interesting shops to visit.
😏
@@THECASUALco is it coming? 👀

Thank you !!

Nararya Sumarsono can you tell me the address idk if you’ll ever see this T-T
Bruh give me the address
Now I just need to go to Japan
Gonna be in Tokyo for a month. I cannot wait to blow all of my money

you missed an important one,Reggie. For foreigners, ask about value-added tax (VAT) excemption upon paying for your copped products.
Is that different from the Japan Tax Free program
Japan…japan…japan…. I love everything about Japan! 🥰
Be fearless! Great advice to the Tokyo newbies and those looking to change up their fashion game.
Yo Reggie as a black man in Japan, who cuts your hair?
Key I don’t know if your trying to clown him or not
Love JD Well, Japanese people tend to have straighter hair as opposed to Africans so I think it’s a pretty reasonable question to ask.. 🤔
Jeryll Lee I was implying that he doesn’t have a nice haircut. That’s all
I’m sure there are other Black people in Japan like him that can cut hair.
Shimokitazawa is suuuuuuch an amazing town to visit and just explore. Sooooo calm and so many thrift stores.
Dude you forgot to mention Mode Off for vintage/thrift shopping. Best chain vintage stores imo.
RAGTAG is a dream, especially the big one in Shibuya and even the smaller ones like in Shimo-kitazawa. Plenty of mint condition items that have been cleaned, categorized and curated. Plus they have a really good mix of brands, styles and prices from just 2000 yen onwards.
Man this is such an underrated channel
Definitely deserves to be out there
100% every time I go deeper into Tokyo I discover gems
Love this! The last tip is precisely why I look forward to my next trip to Japan.
Looking forward to traveling again... been too long.
Thx for posting. Keep it coming.
Love seeing you venture out of the studio! Keep it up!
Love your work always Reggie! Keep up the awesome work. I always go to your channel for fashion inspiration. Will have to try hit up your Airbnb tour when I go back to Tokyo next year.

Thanks for this video!!! Some SUPER sound advice on how to approach my trip to Tokyo in 2019!!!!
Yaaayyyyy You are baaackkkk!!!!
And Riggie, one point about the vintage clothing, Japanese are fxxking small. I just cannot find pieces in my size...
Yo Reg, diggin' that info, man! Lovin' TheCasual keep it up 👍
Love this content. I’m coming to Japan in december so excited!
I’m Japanese. I live in Japan. I don’t really need tips but I subscribed cause you seem really cool
thumbs up for showing those Wang's at 2:55 - man those are well worked over. I have lived here for 20 some years and I think we are on the same page. My advice is hit the streets watch the styles and from that work out what you want to take away.
Love the vid! Been waiting a few weeks for your upload~
MISSED YA. I'm already planning another trip to Japan because what I experienced earlier this fashion wise was crazy. Ngl I "wasted" so much time just strolling through Jingumae for a few days
good to see you back.
can't wait to go back again my fashion taste has changed so much since the last time i went
Awesome video bro! Been waiting patiently for some quality material. Can't wait till my next trip. 👺🤙
Dope video. Keep up the good work.
Loving the new season! street shots are cool!

2:52 Omotesando in front of the Apple Store
4:14 Harajuku 2nd street my go to spot
You ROCK!!
So happy theirs a new video 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
I found H&M in Japan had a lot nicer items than here in Sydney, was a lot more organized and categorized too, I really liked it, it's a fucking mess here and I never shop at H&M
bro the H&M here sucks. When he says to not shop for fast fashion we might as well lmao. We've got nothing down here :'(
I agree. Definitely worth taking a quick look as the style isn't the same.
Planning to go next week. Definitely following this guide. Thanks Reggie!
Btw, where's the best place to shop accessories? like the one you're wearing?
I’d really love to see you Vlog too ! I love your videos.
Hey Reggie, great video and love the channel.
I have a question for you.
Planning a trip to Japan and have been watching a ton of your shopping videos.
I wear a US men’s XL (got a taller torso), I’m not heavy but I have a bulkier frame. Would you say it’s hard to find secondhand finds in that size?
I love you dude, keep it up!
Upper Upper is a cool place too.
ragtag def a good place to go...
About fucking time you uploaded
HA!
1:59 LostHills store
I saw them on insta but came across the shop randomly. It was like "Lets go there. Oh they sell a brand I like!"
Brilliant shop. Really good staff. They might have a problem with scaling their own brands and having a constant amount of stock coming into their shop though.
good format
Gonna be there next spring..
Definitely gonna go to Shimokita again..😆
Nicely done video my dude!
Yo Reggie, would it be possible to make a video on differences between Tokyo and Osaka street style, or something similar? Personally lived in Osaka for a few years, would love to see my city get some love
Wish be at Japan and miss Japan badly~
miss the Foods and Shopping~
Hope the COVID-19 pandemic getting well soon...
Luckily I still can shop my snack, figures and Japan vintage stuff from hoyoyo Japan Proxy web~
Love your show!

Yo reggie. U make me wanna live in Japan really.
Tokyo looks so fuckin beautiful damn
i want to travel to japan so bad.
Hustle for it bud! Research on cheap ways to travel. Hope you make it
best vintage store & place to see in shibuya???
Hey, im going to Japan in less than 1 month, and i was wondering if its possible to find clothes that fit for some one who is 185cm ? ( Especially for the Japanese brands )
Nice video dude :)!
I rl want to travel to japan, whole different culture
What was the second suburb you mentioned for vintage? I've spent time in Shimokitazawa but I didn't catch the other one you said.
At 6:15 there’s a Nike sweater with a big collar. What is this style of neck called/where the hell can I get something like it?
Is Tokyo accessible for bigger sizes like American sized XL? I heard the sizing of clothes is different out there whereas they make them smaller.
I've never heard anyone say they went shopping in japan just to brag about going to western brands they could've shopped at back home... never. And I know tons of girls in my age range (20s) who've been there, including me.

I love the channel man,I’m looking for proxy’s i really want to get in touch
Cool info bro.
Like it all 👋🏼🙏🏼👍🏼💨
Can you do a video on thrift store in Tokyo?
1:37 is it me or did he flip you off just before you cut into the next scene xD
Bro thank you so fucken much 😭😭
5:12 i spot the koya bag :,)
whats that intro song? Its soooo fire, sounds like nujabes?
Reggies back!
Never left!
I really regret not buying vintage when i visited Japan.
I was wondering. Does anyone know of a good vintage shop in San Antonio or Austin TX?
Is there any good techwear shop you can recommend in Tokyo?
What are your thoughts on WEGO?
Oh lol I paused the video and commented right before you said your thoughts on WEGO
I feel like I’m way to tall to shop in Japan or any Asian country since they have some of the shortest people on Earth.
I stay looking for good vintage and thrift stores in my city. I'm starting to think there aren't any.
Ugghh editing so guud
Is it hard to find 'western sized' clothing. I'm 6,6 should I even bother shopping for clothes in Japan?
if you're 6'6, that might be tough
I went to Japan, and yeah 6”6 will be tough, but that being said, so many clothes are super baggy. Oversized is Japan’s thing, so these oversized clothes might fit regularly on you. Japans “medium” is an international “small” from what I remember, so it can be difficult to find XL or XXL clothing. Worth sussing either way, look hard enough and you’ll find stuff
Anyone know any good thrift stores with like skate brand cloting and sneakers?
Anyone know where I can get those trousers the guy in the blue is wearing at 1:06
Whats the name of the intro song?
Any need to be worried about fakes in second hand shops?
Is it expensive to travel to Japan from california
carmeister it is even ahead of time. But a cheat code to that is that you should book your flights from lax to japan since its more expensive to fly out from the bay. If you’re from the bay, spend that cash you saved on a roundtrip to and from lax
Depends on how you get there. I live in the Bay Area and my options usually boil down to either SF or San Jose airport to Narita. Though I’ve once had to take a flight from SJ to Haneda since it was cheaper that way.
Also, turning cookies off while looking for ticket deals should help to find better prices because depending on your location, tickets will be cheaper or expensive.
3:10 where is this anyone
Fresh undercover shirt
“One day soon, we will venture... to Tokyo, Japan🇯🇵
Thanks for your advice on IG earlier.. @iroam_clothing #iroamclothing is my brand🙏🏾
