@dasmaq was given this. Koenji is exceptional.

The easiest way to shop at vintage stores in Tokyo , is to go to Koenji Station . He will find in this area more than 100
Vintage Stores. It‘s fun to check all side streets .
For High End Stuff , he can check there :
Safari , Suntrap and Whistlers

PS : For Super High End Denim Stuff, he has to go to Berberjin
In Harajuku

The first Tokyo leg of my trip to Japan ends today with a Shinkansen to Osaka. We’ve had a great time staying at Hamacho Hotel, enjoyed a special tour of Tsukiji with Yukari Sakamoto, a very fun omekase dinner at Kashiwaya Ningyocho, and yesterday some shopping at Henderson Scheme, Engineered Garments, and The Real Mccoys. Been running around the Imperial Palace Loop and along the Sumida River. Looking forward to Iron Heart Osaka.

Heading to Japan next week and plan to hit either the Osaka or Hachioji store (or both) while I'm there at some point! I know the selection is more limited than what's offered online through IHUK, but is sizing availability more limited, as well? I'm usually an XL-XXL and 36'' waist in IH and wondering if it'll be hard to find my size there.

@selbstzweck Japan stocks XS-XXL and 28-40, not including 35. Their stock holding is also significantly smaller than IHUK, and what they have will vary shop to shop too.

@Alex Awesome, thanks! Mostly I think I’ll just be looking for some standard IH stuff, so should be good.

Appears I'll be in Japan the end of September through the Silver Week holidays. Only things I know for sure is I'll be Tokyo and Osaka at some point. I plan on visiting Iron Heart. But I'm wondering, if I'm going to be in both Tokyo and Osaka, do I need to visit the Hachioji store vs the much more accessible Osaka store? Do they carry much more stock at Hachioji? Everyone here is going to tell me to visit both, right?

[Giles]

Hachioji is way larger, but like all places that sell Iron Heart, they are both low on stock.and remember, much of what is sold internationally, is not sold in Japan....

When I was at the Kojima store most of the stuff they didn’t had would come from Osaka if I want it. They can ship it to your hotel as well.

Visited this lovely shop today and received incredible service.

The only thing that left empty was my wallet.
