Tomorrow my RC's are being dropped off @ Takeshi-san's for a resole fingers crossed

[Bluegrass]

No need for crossed fingers, that's a slam dunk.  Cant wait to see them.  I LOVE mine but I do wish they had some rubber on the bottom.  And please, do tell what you have asked him to do?!?!?

Details! Leather? How many? Rubber?

Vibram 705/700, single midsole, cuban heel. Think I ended up opting for white stitching, not quite sure. I speak no JP and the shop no English. Was a very interesting morning, even with a pre-filled in work order. 1-2 month wait.

Very interesting little shop, great area, fun morning. Am sure I'll love what I get back. Pics to come of the visit later on…(will need to find the right thread to not shit this one up if possible)

Fukurokuju is located in the old Yoshiwara pleasure quarter. The pleasure quarter doesn't exist per se today, but there are still a lot of shady looking gentleman's clubs in the area.

@Anesthetist:

Here is an older pic of mine, the fit just isn't as good.

Love that car mate!

And yes, after the wash they do look they fit better. I was going to grab the 34" in those but waited to long. 34" is officially gone now!

I did get lucky and scored a 40 N1-Troy though from a long time looking I should add. From EBay though.. Looking forward to this Aussie winter now.

Thanks for sharing the pics - way cool. Reminds me of Tokyo when I was there as a student in 1982.  Definitely not the "trendy" part of town.  What a great trip.  You are so lucky you can do this on the company's dime.

A clickable/closeup of the Skipper Jacket. Couldn't resist it for that in between weight.

[lamdog123]

very nice jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chiba J.]

That looks great. Green is, IMO, the best of the options. Where did you pick it up?

[grandmasterben]

Looks super good snowy.  Agreed that green is my fav in this.

[mclaincausey]

stop it snowy, my wallet!

[Anesthetist]

More jacket pics please!

[twin]

Snowy sure loves green great pic & jacket.

[summ3rhays]

Agreed! ^^

[Finn666]

nice jacket wade…what are the glasses though?

[Snowy]

@Chiba, one of the Hinoya stores in Ueno
@Ane, there will be plenty more in coming weeks, my only light-mid weight jacket on this trip. Will try get a detailed shot or two in down time for you.
@Finn, Olivers People
@twin, yes, I do like green ::)

@All, thanks for the compliments. The phone pocket up the top left has been surprisingly functional throughout the last couple of days. It's doing well down to about 10c / 50f with a decent shirt beneath, more versatile than expected.
