    Spent some time here around a week and a half ago and I agree it’s one of the best spots, though with prices in Japanese thrift stores I think they can be all over the place, you can find really great pieces for such good prices you wouldn’t find anywhere else if you hunt. Equally you can find Gildan/ fruit of the loom t’s for 5,000-10,000 yen 😮‍💨

      such a true observation bro! It’s definitely part of the thrill, not settling for jacked up prices and hunting for some reasonable priced items. I would say pricing has changed heaps in the past few years in Tokyo cause of the proliferation of “vintage” across high end and fast fashion and even heaps of independent businesses setting up on IG or Depop etc! We definitely shouldn’t be paying that much for Gildan or Fotl!!

      @miguel_valero  11 месяцев назад +1

      great question Noah! Might sound generic, but for me fits are important haha so I always bring at least 3/4 of each clothing item, shoes, pants, shirts etc to have versatility. Non-clothing wise the main thing has been bringing the right power outlet adapter to whatever country I go. But I would say the main thing is actually to do with making sure I stay in a comfortable BnB with a kitchen, close to public transport, cafes, gym etc so that I can establish a daily routine!

      So good eh bro. They fit a bit big, but have some velcro tightening which works well. Think they’re size 3 and I’m usually a 32 waist

    I am so confused bro. 12,100 for a shitty used stussy shirt and you gave it a 👍👌
    Maybe in Hawaii we dress way different but I truly don’t understand the draw

    • @miguel_valero
      @miguel_valero  3 месяца назад

      taste is definitely subjective brother, you might think it’s shitty or overpriced but others (including myself/the store owner) value items like that.
      have no idea how you dress or how people in hawaii dress tbh, but personally it wouldn’t confuse or bother me cause that’s your style so who am i to judge
