[@servernomad8111]

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MushyMonkey]

Thanks for vlogging what you did. It was really fun to watch. The rolleiflex pics were gorgeous!

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Garrett not only did a great job with the vlog, but also a great photo professor!

Love the long format!

[@kshep4465]

Her Jacket at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1545">25:45</a> looks amazing!

[@WrightsW5]

That was good, nice to see how denim is made, and sweet cigarettes! As we called them in England years ago, banned over here now!

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

In Japan they have a soda for kids that's basically marketed as kids beer. It's just soda, but it foams up so the kids can drink just like the adults :P

[@beedeeramone]

Thanks for sharing. It is so lovely to see the inside info and the fun you had!

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beedeeramone]

@@NakedandFamousDenim I said to my wife it was nice to see Garrett just walking around in the mornings. That a trio there can be relaxing! Thanks!

[@ery2928]

This is great

[@Shang_Style]

Thanks for the long form video! Planning a trip to Japan for August summer so the ice cream recommendation is useful!😂

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

There is a lot of great ice cream to enjoy here, especially in August when it's super hot here.

[@cophater298]

captivating experience.

[@Noidzor]

Gigachad move drinking a brewski at 7am! Awesome video though, hope I can visit Japan one day

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

You should! Especially now with the weak Yen, it's the perfect time to visit. It's like the whole country is on sale.

[@mooseko467]

This was awesome.. more like this please :-)

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

You bet! More to come!

[@RadioMcRadioface]

awesome, dude. Was waiting for this travelog!

[@thinerj1]

More adventure videos please!

[@dennisclanton5342]

Awesome vid

[@LU6TIE]

Gonna watch this tomorrow 🙌

[@chasefranson8481]

I'm sorry I have to be the one who informs you, but you can TOTALLY get Reese's Pieces Mini cereal in Canada. Well...at least in Vancouver!

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

The regular size ones yes.. Minis, I've yet to see in Canada. I could be wrong though..

[@chasefranson8481]

@@NakedandFamousDenimThem’s be fighten’ words! You want receipts?! I’ll give you receipts! I’ve got photographic EVIDENCE from No Frills!

[@circa54]

This was rad. Nice choice on using the wide angle lens too! 👏

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Glad you liked it!

[@salvajejardin]

Very Nice! This footage feels like we are right there with you. My pockets are full on account of no garbage cans (courtesy of Aum Shinrikyo). Uni and turbo sazae - shumi ga ii, ne! That uni might have been harvested from coastal Maine - not far from Montreal, heh :-)

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Another weird habit you pick up because of the lack of garbage cans is deciding if you want a take out drink from a cafe, or a bottled drink from a convenience store. Getting rid of a bottle is super easy, usually there will be a slot for the empties next to a vending machine. Plastic cups though.. You'll get suck with those for a while. Always carry a little tote bag around for your garbage.

[@salvajejardin]

@@NakedandFamousDenimMy wife was running late for work the day of the sarin attack, otherwise she would have been in the thick of it. That is how I learned the origin story of the unicorn-like nature of garbage cans in Tokyo.

[@MikePowery45]

I enjoyed every sec of this video. Great stuff

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@schlugenflugenzavatta3233]

Really great long format!!

[@JoeyDecay]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="505">8:25</a> Japan has a very clean environment because it has such a homogenous society that is raised with morals and respect. I love Japan and hope to be able to go one day. Garrett is living the dream here.

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

It's true, a lot of the "rules" are just ingrained into people. It's not perfect here, but I think it's a pretty nice place to live, and of course for everybody to visit!

[@samzel3624]

Good stuff. 👍

[@thomaspayton_]

This was so damn good

[@dutswnw]

Amazing travel video!

[@blueband8114]

Re the can, id stamp it flat. Then stick it in my back pocket, till i could bin it.

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Cans and bottles are actually easily disposable, Garrett may have missed the memo. But there are recycling bins for these all around.

[@AL-pt1ne]

What is the id on those black sashiko looking converse shoes worn by some of the models in yalls ig posts???

[@disablethis]

Old naked & famous denim shoe

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

That's right, some N&F Made in Japan sneakers from around 10 years ago.

[@CanadianPenny]

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="298">4:58</a>, ahhh. I had noticed you like to show tufts in the selvedge of various denims. Those tufts are where the weft shuttle changed?

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

Bingo! Those little strands on the selvedge ID are where the shuttle changes, usually it's even 30cm or so.

[@CanadianPenny]

One more detail for denim nerds. When you know, you know! 😻

[@JoeyDecay]

Amazing that there aren't many garbage cans, yet its very clean... hmm almost like they care.

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

It's reverse culture shock when I go back home to the west, you start to see all the garbage and graffiti everywhere..

[@JoeyDecay]

@NakedandFamousDenim I mean Japan is like 98% Japanese. It's easy to control the way things are, when yr culture is all about honor and honesty.

[@macrunsfar]

What is that cross body that Brandon is wearing at the beginning of the video?

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

It's a bag made out of the 32oz denim.

[@mrlolmaster1019]

the only terrible and awful thing about this video is that it ends

[@NakedandFamousDenim]

We had a great time hanging out with Garrett too, we hope he comes back and visits again real soon.
