Sizing is a bit all over the place among those.
I think Loopwheeler changed its sizing at one point in time.
I'd say it's a "small medium".
Thanks, assumed based on the sizing of everything else it'd be too small for me

Being into one brand has always been my dream but I always drift between similar brands and obviously a lot of vintage. It's hard to find a brand that hits perfectly all that I want.

Especially now in Kyoto where I spend more time on a bike than walking. I hike all the time, climb whatever. So although I probably should do gorp core, I still like repro and vintage too much to go gorp.

Also I posted this in the Kapital thread, but recently I've been thinking bout trying to proxy for people so I can buy vicariously through others. It would be a fee but if anyone is interested for things PM me!
I’m currently emailing with a store in obihiro that has an online store but it isn’t setup to bill/ship overseas

They’re trying to find a way to make it happen and so far it looks promising, but if things don’t work out I might hit you up for a proxy

Let me know! I'm happy to help, I mostly just want to shop vicariously for people and make a little bit of USD. I definitely won't gouge ya unless I gotta travel real far to grab it.

Can obviously take to DMs, but are you really only interested in Kapital bc it's close to where you live?

Nah it’s all online and would get delivered to you, but yeah it’s not kapital

Got any references here who could vouch for you?

I've chatted online/IG with @peachfuzzmcgee for quite some time now and met up with him last year in Osaka where he showed me around to some spots I wasn't familiar with. Hoping to hang again when I go to Japan this year. He's good people!
