UNIFORM LA CHILLICOTHE WORK JACKET Drop, going on right now.
Uniform LA's Chillicothe Work Jacket is an elevated take on the classic Detroit Work Jacket. Made of ultra-premium 14-ounce Japanese canvas, it has been meticulously washed and hand distressed to replicate vintage workwear that’s been worn for years, and available in three colors.
This just dropped today. If you missed out on the preorder, there are some sizes left, but they won't be around for long. Check out the remaining stock here
Good luck!.

That's a lot of hard work, thanks man. How many of these guys sell oversea though?
really rare, most only take domestic orders. Thats why they have the capacity to work their absolute best in their product.
or they just don't know how to scale...
that's essentially Anglo-American business thinking. Not necessary the Japs.
nutcracker, you are the man! How many of these makers speak English? I've approached some Japanese cordwainers with my interview requests; some have not understood me while some have professional level grasp of the tongue.
Great thread, nutcracker.
Some interviews people may be interested in: Yohei Fukuda, Masaru Okuyama, and Keitaro Takano (of Clematis)
Shoe AristoCat also has some great pictures if you search

so far I know Guild of Crafts and Spigola do shows in Hong Kong.
I talked to other shoemakers who were also interested in Honk Kong for some reason?
Ryoto Hayafuji has a stellar reputation and may be among the best independent Japanese shoemakers around. He lives and sell shoes in Munich Germany, I presume all his clients are from Europe.
Well if Vass and G&G can do it, you would think they can too, not so much about scales, rather just start taking orders from HK/South Korea/Taiwan/Shanghai/Beijing (RTW ones, I wonder how lean their inventories are). Maybe they're doing it already, though not to my knowledge, at least not in Taiwan.
