      Thanks again for a wonderful afternoon out!

      I managed to cop a sneak peak at the samples/line up, oh my god there's some really stunning fabric/combinations on the way. And that paisley in person is even more amazing than it looks on screen! I can't believe it (hardly!).

        Was so great to finally meet - in the flesh - @Snowy and we spent a lovely afternoon together.  He was a marvellous guide (using his phone to find all the places we wanted to visit - G and I are a little technically challenged with smart phones).  And yes, they are sitting in a "women only" carriage, but after initial panic we realised this restriction is just during morning rush hour…

        We arrived in Nihonbashi - this is the view of the massive roadway which runs over the river from the current version of an ancient bridge which gave this part of Tokyo its name (Nihon = Japan and bashi = bridge)

        The Japanese have elevated the humble toothpick to a work of art, so we headed straight for this specialist toothpick shop.  Sadly, despite having traded for 310 years, today it was closed  😢 but we're hoping Snowy will get back there to check it out.

        Wonderful artwork on metal shutter

        Back in Shibuya, the streets start to light up in technicolour

            My @kiya being sharpened, post purchase…

            This seems like the kind of thing @DougNg would get into.

              Seems like there are going to be lots of good products coming out in 2015.  The ones that most intrigue me are these:

              Man, this is some lovely stuff.
              @Giles:

              This fabric I'd like to see in a shirt, preferably work shirt, but everyone knows that already.
              @Giles:

              Love these buttons.
              @Giles:

              And I'm always interested in tee shirts.
              @Giles:

              There's loads of other stuff I did not photograph…Off the top of my head

              Extra heavy long sleeved Tees
              Mid weight long sleeved Tees
              Raglan 3/4 sleeved loop wheeled tees

                That first zip jacket looks great in brown duck! Is that happening next spring, G?

                  About USD100.  That's a steal here.  Most expensive kitchen knife I saw this trip was USD3000

                      Thanks G, I think that's a definite cop for me. (If I can get my size….)

                            Here's a great shot of G&P in action from the other day, taken by Instagram user Golem2013 who didn't exactly know who he was taking a photo of at the time 🙂

                              Awesome Pictures everyone! There's not too many stuff in there for me next spring - which should make it easy to spend more now and next fall. Gonna get some Tees & Raglans though.

                                      Agreed. It really makes all the difference getting a glimpse behind the scenes. Makes me feel a personal connection to my favorite brand. I'm glad everyone's enjoying their trip.
