Ok fans here we go. Im posting my goodies all of which I purchased whilst living in Tokyo 1996-2000, Many now are quite collectible and so Ive asked a very fair price for them I believe. As this is not an auction I guess its first in best dressed so the first email I recieve requesting the item wins that garment. As far as shipping goes its impossible to be exact so I'll charge a flat $25 and send to anywhere in the world using airmail unless you specify otherwise. My email is rocket_ace47@hotmail.com and so is my PAYPAL account. All prices are in US dollars.

Item 3.
SOLDAllen & Hanson workshirt in unbrushed flannel twill. A fabulous re-make of a Big Yank style workshirt. This was bought from the Emporium which is a bizarre little store in the back streets of Harajuku behind Meji Dori and Otamosando. Allen & Hanson from what I can understand is a collaboration label between Evis and Take five and Emporium in a way that only the Japanese can really appreciate. The Papa was just confused but bought the shirt anyway. Size is marked 40" and condition is excellent with cool detailing.
Price $75

68 & Brothers New York City. Purchased this great WWII US Army pull over workshirt from Backdrop in Shibuya back in the day when 68 were getting established. Strange that so many people think this is all new but the truth is these brands have been at it a very long time. This shirt is perfect for doing KP duty in style, think Montgomery Cliff in 'From Here To Eternity'. Cotton linen mix with a slub texture. Size Medium to fit a 40" chest, condition is excellent rarely worn.
Price $70.

Super rugged and tough and a great look with double knees, worn a little shorter with loggers boots these are perfect for traversing the urban forest. Size 34" waist, inleg is 27". Washed up with a nice patina, condition is excellent barr one broken stitching at pocket corner.
Price $90.
Item 10.
Real McCoys Military Division, HBT WWII US Army pants. Nice item I bought from the original McCoys store in Daikanyama. Waist is a size 36" and inleg is a shorter 23 1/2". These are a true vintage fit with a very deep rise and wider legs. I used to wear these in winter so I could tuck in a sweater and then wear a navy wool work jacket over the top, A-1 Mechanics beanie and my loggers boots. Wearing them short was a styling tip I got from a 20's photo taken up in Washington State where the lumberman had his pants half way up his 12" calked boots
Price $70.
