Not just western, but everything American, the Japanese love to eat up and put their own Japanese take on. With their impeccable meticulousness, we in turn adore the quality of the work they do. Japanese Americana is a huge thing out there. And I hate to say it, they do Americana much better than American Americana lol. Well, at least in the mainstream. And yeah, the Japanese elders out there dress better than even middle aged Americans. They really are all about their aesthetics.
I´m sitting here, listening to this awesome episode of the shoescast, while I´m preparing the holdfast for my boots for this years edition of the Thunderdome and I can´t wait to see the upcoming videos of your trip. The whole stitchdown project, including the boot camp and the shoecast, just rechaed a completely new level. Concrats and thank you!!! It´s amazing what you´re doing for the boot and shoe community.
Hello from Spain, great video. I would like to know if there is a japanese brand which makes boots in a similar way as JK or Nicks, as the JK Forefrontor the Nicks Traveller, and in case that not, if there is any place like Hopesmore qhere i could buy them. Thank you very much
So you mentioned a brand called “Zeros” that sounded amazing, but a google search on that spelling turned up zip. How do I find them online? Or do they not have an English language online presence?
It's hilarious I'm in my mid thirties when I was young only old people wore high socks and all of the young people wanted no shows or ankle socks hilarious how things come back around everything is cyclical
One could make an argument that no brand anywhere is more engineer-focused than Attractions when it comes down to it. And stylistically I think they're some of the most unique out there. Many great engineer boots are trying to perfect a form, while Attractions more than any other is saying; we're going to take this in our own very distinct direction. They have a bit more flair, more callbacks to very specific old engineer boots of certain eras. And they're certainly very well made!

Hi it’s called Zerrow’s
Just in time, I have an upcoming three week trip to Tokyo/Kyoto and I can't come back without at least one pair of engineers and a jacket
I believe in you!
@@stitchdown I can't wait for the rest of the videos to come out!
@@R_RodTon of footage to work through but getting closer every day!
Hey - love this podcast and all things Japanese Americana subculture. Have you published the Japan videos you allude to here? Thank you.
Thanks for listening/watching! And haven't pubbed just yet...first one coming soon though!

TIME IS A FLAT SOCK
Hey Ben! Where do Attractions rank on the engineer boot totem pole?

Nice but I would have preferred a written article rather than a video.
Also let's not forget it's a nice excuse to say that it's a business trip and a tax write-off as an independent contractor it all counts LOL
Hahah I mean if this isn't a business trip I don't know what is!
@@stitchdownboot trip?:)
