      @Chesson:

      @gaseousclay It has served me well so far this trip!

      It's a great bag. I bought mine back in August and it's very handy when you don't want to lug a backpack around. Probably not much difference weight/size wise when compared to other bags but it's very useful. I'm surprised IH doesn't carry Master-Piece stuff for the Sonders Supply store

        That’s an interesting screen printing set up. Here in the US printers use a circular press to print shirts. I’ve never seen one like this before. Seems like it would take longer

          Last night we went for Okonomiyaki, Modanyaki,  Negiyaki and something with a load of sticky yam on the top which was not particularly appetising to the western palette (no pics). All three of us were rocking our c/o Shazams too.

          Today Haraki led the way to Kuroki mills on his Harley and we showed Limbro around the mill. More pics on that to follow from @Chesson 

          Now to Tokyo…..

                        Love the garage and that it’s set up as a casual place to just hang out.

                                          @Alex same photo as the question re: the gloves. That shoulder bag isn't on the website. What's the story on that?

                                            The shoulder bag is a Japan-exclusive that the young shop staff designed! We are trying to get some for here,
