Great piece - sadly like much of the Kountry range it tops out at a p2p of 21.25"

A lot of their designs stop at around a 40" chest and 33" waist which sadly rules them out for us bigger guys.

Such a shame which is why i invest so much in custom pieces. Of course none are going to be Kapitalesque but I do have a guy who can do some cool aftermarket stuff. He has even done some work on an EG vest . If i remember right he did some work for Freepeople

That collection is outstanding but I doubt that swastika shirt's going to be a big hit with most Western shoppers.  Too many people associate it with Nazism.

I feel your pain re: sizing, though.  I love Kapital's look but can't bother with Japanese brands - they just don't fit me.

Edit:  Just realized it's a denim jacket and not a shirt underneath a denim vest, but still...


Yes I can't see any of their few Western retailers stocking that...

I can get away with some Japanese pieces, but it's pretty limited. I'm guessing if they wanted more overseas trade they'd produce stuff in larger sizes.


Stuff I wore on Saturday. Nothing remarkable, but probably a better fit here than in MC Casual. Denim is RRL and those are Bean Katahdin boots from about 10 years ago..

Looks good. Nice to see you hopping over the wall to the dark side :)

Good stuff. I keep getting tempted to have a go myself, but my customisation skills have only really been tried out with hats.

ew, that bun makes me wan't to puke, get rid of it, and at least wait until it's not such a super trend anymore. That way, you'll only look stupid, not stupid and a tool too.


Oh gee I wonder why so many good posters don't put fits here anymore....

try playing a little nicer boys, we don't need name calling like that,

You know, now that I've let my hair grow out a bit, I've realized there's no method for tying back male hair that's not symbolically charged. On a windy day, long haired dudes have three options: choose a ponytail and invoke Comic Book Guy, choose the bun and ruin Nomed's day, or leave the hairtie at home and let the wind blind them behind a temporary hair forest, comforted by the knowledge that they've avoided falling into an undesirable stereotype.

I think I'll just wear a showercap so everyone assumes I'm dangerously crazy and leaves me alone.

If you look like Comic Book Guy, you should probably cut your hair. Ponytail seems totally normal to me.
