What does anyone think of these? Not thinking about buying just wondered.

I'm liking the idea of hijstc becoming common parlance…..............
all right, lets work this out…
would the use of "hijstc" be appropriate only as applies to indigo staining, or in the setting of staining regardless of the cause?
in either regard, i vote to limit the posting of hijstc photos to those resulting from indigo staining -

Anyone got any good tips on stores in Shibuya/Harajuku Tokyo (jeans otaku/americana stuff)?
Going to spend a whole day cruising the village-like streets (already went there once this week but only visited F.I.L. (Visvim), Supreme and a shop I don't recall the name of right next to it (they stocked Danner boots and Americana stuff but nothing of particular interest)). I plan on visiting SDA in hopes of getting a grey crewneck and OT & Emotional for Flathead, Skull and Red moon stuff (probably Buzz too and all kinds of different other Americana stuff).
It's really hard to pinpoint stuff in Tokyo because the good stuff seems to be hidden too well and there's just too much space to cover and too little time.
I have the Sufu guide and I've read the Sufu and SF Tokyo stuff but haven't found any more than these. I have access to the slowest possible internet connection right now so scouring the net for stuff is out of the question.
Thanks in advance!
go to tenderloin. its very close to supreme.

Thanks, I'll try to sneak in there before I leave on sunday. I'm going to visit Loopwheeler anyway which is in the neighbourhood. I really hope they have crewnecks in my size there, SDA's largest was an M and OT&E did have lots of nice stuff but none in my size. I'm SO the wrong size for japanese shops.. Except for IH of course :).
Keep your fingers crossed for Loopwheeler, their indigo and heather grey crewnecks are beautiful!

I need some well made solid color or muted pattern button downs. I'm looking and have found a few but any more suggestions or links in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hamilton gets my vote. They're pricey (near $200 for the 1883 line, off the rack, higher made to measure) but superb quality. I splurged and bought one, loved it so much I've now bought 4 more and thrown most of the rest of my dress shirts away. The 1883 size M fits me perfect which is nice.
Edit: and handcut and sewn in the USA.

i think you will like tenderloin. They are more generously sized than most japanese brands.

i have some normal sennhieser earbuds that go in like earplugs and even though they arent noise cancelling they work better for that specific purpose than the noise cancelling earbuds that i do own.
