Not gonna lie, Anesthetist, they are very close to not fitting me in the waist–I can't get them wet and will need to dry clean them. Yours are actually more correct sizing, but I really love the fit of my downsized pair. I also love the sheen and think that would diminish in water. But these get wet or I eat a cheeseburger, I probably have to sell.

I like the way yours fit though.

[Anesthetist]

Thanks guys, I feel a bit better about them. They are in the trusty SpeedQueen right now getting a hot wash so I will have to see if they shrink a bit more.

[Anesthetist]

Got some more shrinkage I think. They feel a little better as well.

Tomorrow my RC's are being dropped off @ Takeshi-san's for a resole fingers crossed

No need for crossed fingers, that's a slam dunk.  Cant wait to see them.  I LOVE mine but I do wish they had some rubber on the bottom.  And please, do tell what you have asked him to do?!?!?

Details! Leather? How many? Rubber?

Vibram 705/700, single midsole, cuban heel. Think I ended up opting for white stitching, not quite sure. I speak no JP and the shop no English. Was a very interesting morning, even with a pre-filled in work order. 1-2 month wait.

Very interesting little shop, great area, fun morning. Am sure I'll love what I get back. Pics to come of the visit later on…(will need to find the right thread to not shit this one up if possible)

Fukurokuju is located in the old Yoshiwara pleasure quarter. The pleasure quarter doesn't exist per se today, but there are still a lot of shady looking gentleman's clubs in the area.

@Anesthetist:

Here is an older pic of mine, the fit just isn't as good.

Love that car mate!

And yes, after the wash they do look they fit better. I was going to grab the 34" in those but waited to long. 34" is officially gone now!

I did get lucky and scored a 40 N1-Troy though from a long time looking I should add. From EBay though.. Looking forward to this Aussie winter now.

Thanks for sharing the pics - way cool. Reminds me of Tokyo when I was there as a student in 1982.  Definitely not the "trendy" part of town.  What a great trip.  You are so lucky you can do this on the company's dime.

A clickable/closeup of the Skipper Jacket. Couldn't resist it for that in between weight.

[lamdog123]

very nice jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chiba J.]

That looks great. Green is, IMO, the best of the options. Where did you pick it up?

[grandmasterben]

Looks super good snowy.  Agreed that green is my fav in this.

[mclaincausey]

stop it snowy, my wallet!
