Needs shop recommendations for Upcoming trip to Japan

[bluemantra]

I’m traveling to Tokyo and Kyoto next week and want to do some shopping. I’m planning on visiting iron heart near Tokyo. Are there any other recommendations to look at some other denim and shirts while I’m there. Curious to check out Samurai.

Shopping in Osaka or Kyoto is easier than Tokyo. Not that you shouldn't in Tokyo.

Tokyo
Iron Heart. It's far out but if you're on this board, you probably want to go and the Osaka has very little by comparison.
As mentioned above, go to Ueno and hit the numerous Hinoya and Americaya General Garden. Most brand variety in one area you're going to get.

Osaka
UES
Samurai

Kyoto
Tezomeya if you want some lovely hand-dyed loopwheel t-shirts though pricey.

Thanks. Anyone familiar with Denimio?

Yes. Good shop with lots of variety. They mainly sell online but you can visit in person in Yokohama, which isn't terribly far from Central Tokyo though a bit of a trek. If you're going to go, you should spend some time exploring Yokohama. It's great. Also, if you like Wonder Looper, they're in Yokohama and you can book a showroom visit.
