might check out filson and patagonia

Jaco's right as usual. A google search of "heavyweight zip wool sweater" revealed this link:

http://montanawoolenshop.com/PFilsonSweaters.html

I think the #717 could be what ur looking for.

But they're sold out so here's another link: its only an XL though, and they don't have these on the filson website.

And another: they also have the outfitter jacket on another page, made out of heavyweight wool too

@seawolf:

To further tighten the parameters, let's shoot for anything not made in China.

Sorry for the nub question, but has anyone heard of Goro Takahashi. I stumbled onto some of his work on ebay, I was just wondering if there other artist's like him? Any further information on his work? Its crazy overpriced, is it worth it? Is there a thread somewhere on his work?

Yeh, Goro's is kind of a Tokyo (Harajuku) institution. To buy from their store you have to kind of wait out side, and be allowed in one at a time to view what he happens to have on sale on any particular day, I've read a lot of people saying that buying from Goro is as much part of the experience as having the actual goods.

I can't speak for the quality of what he sells (although I am sure it is excellent), but I know that he, and his jewellery are very well thought of by many.

Hey Giles: any idea on when the sold out sizes of the 666 ODs are gonna be restocked (if so)?.. Mate's asking about it… Cheers!..

Giles

I have not scheduled a production run yet, not enough gaps in the size range here, for me to take that leap yet…..

Seul

Ok. Thanks!.. Would a true size 30 be able to size down 1 in these?..

Giles

If he wants to sing the high notes in the local church choir for a few weeks…..

Seul

I redirected him to DC4, who apparently do have the 30 in stock…

@Beatle:

Uhm… are these IWHWIH?
*crosses fingers hoping it isn't

jacoavlu

looks like ihsh-50, already for sale…

Giles

The 74 means nothing in the IHSH numbering system, that is an internal working number…..

J-IV

Thanks for the answer guys. I guess the numbering was what threw me off. Was looking for it in the shop.

Timely, I'm planning to go down there and sit in the queue pretty soon. Apparently they have to like your style and trust that you're not an eBay reseller before they'll sell you anything. I've never cared for necklaces but my wife's friend wore Goro's to our barbecue a month ago and got me hooked.　If you can read/translate Japanese some Goro's fans put up a FAQ:

Another one I've been intrigued by is Ague in Koenji, they do Ainu designs.

So I'm told (via Seenmy of Superfuture), the prices in store are not ridiculous. I have seen some stuff go on ebay and other forums for absolutely silly money, but I have seen more realistic people sell for quite reasonable prices.

For any of us not in or around Harajuku, you can usually buy pieces of used Goro jewellery on Rakuten for quite reasonable amounts.

any one follow up on the Japan tourism information a while back?
