What is the difference between a Preppy and a Trad?
United Arrows' Kamoshita Yasuto was asked a related question in this interview. I guess Japanese "Ivy" is more or less "Trad" (a "to a distant observer" interpretation of it):- Kei-bon

The OneShirt: A Phoenix from the Ashes [4/24/13 UPDATE: A SHIRTMAKER, AN ENGLISHMAN, CHAMBRAY, AND F
So I was looking through shirtings yesterday and, wanting to seem au courant, asked about *chambray.* I was warned that it shows sweat stains more than other fabrics. FYI. (I was not sweating at the time, so I assume this is a general problem.)- Kei-bon

The OneShirt: A Phoenix from the Ashes [4/24/13 UPDATE: A SHIRTMAKER, AN ENGLISHMAN, CHAMBRAY, AND F
:eh: is there a rationale for this bold statement? i've always used a "two and two thirds" roll: fold the whole cuff back, fold it again, and then once more, but not the whole width of the cuff, bringing it to just below the elbow. I don't think i want to go flashing my tired looking...- Kei-bon

It's all relative, wear what you want.
Aren't there two corollaries: 1) 99% of the people around you are slobs and won't know the difference. 2) From five feet away, no one will be able to tell the difference.- Kei-bon

whnay.'s good taste thread
since we're talking of colors for blazer, can I ask for some opinions on the standard sportcoat in good taste for spring/fall (or "shoulder season")? I'm getting ready to order a sportcoat. Not for winter, so no heavier tweeds, and not for summer, so no linen. I work in academia (humanities)...- Kei-bon

Buying a Suit in Tokyo
I just had a jacket made at Azabu. It was my first time using MTM, so take it for what it's worth, but I was extremely pleased with the service, the selection, and the result. Wide range of fabrics. Many options in styling (including the amount of padding in the shoulders, width of lapels...- Kei-bon

Best bespoke commission ever? I think so. *** PICTURES ADDED FOR THOSE LACKING IMAGINATION
The mention of capes reminded me that, in Japan, one sometimes sees men wearing an Inverness, particularly--but not exclusively--with kimono. Here's a website offering one for sale. I've seen others in tailors' shop windows in tweed. A google search of インバネスコートturns up many examples. Here's...- Kei-bon

Seiko Watches - Underrated?
Just bought this Seiko Spirit. I like quite dull-looking watches. The color of the face is a faintly beige silver. I've had a Seiko 5 for ... 15 years now? Really like their watches.- Kei-bon

are Yoshida Porter bags worth their high price?
the Monocle Porter bags look a bit like a series Porter did for the select shop Beams years ago, but are significantly more expensive. I think it's almost impossible to find Porter on sale. Maybe at an individual shop in Japan, a few seasonal items at the end of the season. pretty sure mine...- Kei-bon

are Yoshida Porter bags worth their high price?
they are very popular in Japan. I wouldn't say they cost "a fortune"; they're a bit pricey, but there are certainly far more expensive bags out there, and Yoshida have a lot of lines at various price points. I love mine. all the materials used (including zippers and strap hardware) seem to be...- Kei-bon

Affordable Dirty Bucks?? Bass??
the BB bucks i just took delivery of are made in China. I guess i shouldn't be surprised, and they seem reasonably well made, for the price. but various comments I read had led to me to think otherwise.- Kei-bon
