Vintage Shopping in Japan 🇯🇵 Thrifting in Shimokitazawa, Kapital in Shibuya, Kamakura, and more !!

[@vihodanyet]

Big thing I love about Tokyo is that wealth of knowledge people have for the vintage clothing. Store clerks often have encyclopaedic knowledge of so many types of garments. They can look at an Adidas jacket and tell by the stitching/zips/buttons etc whether it’s 70’s 80’s 90s 2000s or whatever , it’s a really passion and dedication for craft. The stores are much more curated than vintage stores in the US or Europe.

[@ekkymahesa8708]

shimokitazawa is such a vibe bro, probably one of my favorite area in tokyo

[@cubeography]

regarding the granddad shirt: it’s a pretty common style in asia, uniqlo calls it stand collar shirts. in the philippine context it kinda looks like the barong tagalog and the camisa de chino. the barong tagalog isn’t tucked in and are typically worn on formal occasions such as graduation ceremonies. my university requires men to wear barong tagalog along with our sablay which is our academic regalia instead of a toga. the camisa de chino (literally shirt of chinese) is usually worn casually from what i’ve seen.

ヨーロッパに住みたいって思うことが多いけど、こうやって海外の動画見ると日本っていいなと思う。

[@litespeed65]

Just got back from Tokyo- we go every year. The shopping is overwhelming, a sensory overload- having a plan is a good idea. i missed all 6 Kapital shops! Need to go back ASAP

[@linh.linnie]

Drew! Been watching your videos on shoes/footwear recently and noticed that your socks collection is pretty neat, would love to see a fun little video on them!!

[@DrewJoiner]

I would be more than happy to do a video on socks!! Adding it to my idea list now

Bro, you're living the dream. You go thrifting in Japan as part of your job. I'm really happy for you!

[@DrewJoiner]

Bro thank you thank you thank you!! I sometimes have to sit back and realize how crazy that is

[@thenamefrances]

Happy that you were able to support a local artisan ❤

[@jacquelinegutierrez7105]

The leather bag is beautiful

[@philippfakler]

this makes me even more hyped for my trip to japan in October, great vibes!

[@logintothebruh]

dude seeing you so happy in Japan was so nice!! loved this ❤

[@NOh0810]

This vlog was a delight!! I used to live in Japan and your excitement and joy brings back a lot of fond memories of when i lived there. Loved seeing all the cool shops and styles too. Wishing you much success!!

[@Aasunta94]

I saw you in Omotesando when you were in Japan! I was too nervous to talk to you,couldn’t say hey to you😢😢 But I'm glad you enjoyed Japan🇯🇵

[@DrewJoiner]

Nooooo way, should have said what it do

[@777_xy]

this is such a comforting vlog, really makes me miss japan and going into every single vintage/thrift 😌😌

Shimokita was top 3 places in tokyo for me when i went last year

[@myqaveli]

If you can, can you start including the shops links you went to especially when it’s something like the leather bag story. it made me happy seeing him pack your bag 🥲 and both you happy. would love to support his store with even a follow

[@Ozmeister666]

Having just retourned from a 2-month Japan trip, your first fit seems insane. Not in terms of look (although it definitely looks good) but in terms of warmth. The last week we stayed in Tokyo it was like 35°C with 85% of humidity, I was absolutely drenched in sweat in just shorts and a t-shirt.

[@DrewJoiner]

It wasn’t that warm when I was there, I sweat more from being embarrassed about my Japanese vs the weather

[@frankbombaci4977]

I was also so lucky to go to Japan in March - I’m a chunkier American dude so I’ll admit it was tough to find pieces 😅 but I found this INCREDIBLE upcyled vintage piece in Shimokitazawa Went to the Kapital in Kyoto but we only had a few minutes there - got some sandles, sweatpants and some socks I went to loose some llbs and get back to shop in Japan with an empty suitcase - or 2 🎉

[@MyNameIsMiahRichards]

from vintage shopping videos in some weird guys shop in the Denvers Golden triangle, to Ginza Tokyo videos, Drew my friend you are absolutely killing the game every step of the way.🤙🤙🤙

[@danonthedaily]

Made me miss my trip to Japan. Great video Drew.

[@mrsscatania]

this was sooo fun to watch!! i loved it 😊😊

[@melcherrie]

Stop the story of the leather goods shop made me well up 🥺 what a special purchase

[@chiaradelia829]

Really loved this video so genuine!😁

[@remixisthis]

Doing shopping research before going is definitely a good idea. I was overwhelmed with little time! I also had more fun outside of Tokyo than in the city

[@zancaredler]

you’re literally my comfort person i love you kislux !

gang this is mad love

[@devmooreurl]

I enjoyed this! 🔥🔥

[@faithwilson5648]

With the grandad shirt, they were the thing in Edwardian fashion, being tucked into very high waisted trousers held up by braces, and they were collarless because you would attach starched collars via a pin on the back and the button on the front. Very fiddly by today's standard. You can see old European grandad shirts are quite long to tuck in, there's some vintage fashion tiktokers who show off Edwardian outfits styling these shirts

[@matthewn99]

Stumbled across your channel last night while doing some Japanese Selvedge denim youtube research because I’m actually headed to Asia tomorrow (#pvv)! Really serendipitous that you’re releasing all this Japan content now for me to soak up! Keep up the quality content, subscribed ✅.

[@DrewJoiner]

Love it man!! Enjoy Asia! Hopefully a video about Kojima (Birthplace of denim soon!!)

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kislux leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

[@tofu042]

I feel those "Until next Time ..."-Graphics. I felt the urge to mentally say this to all places in Japan, just to have it known, that I will come back. I did come back and said it again, haha.

Hopefully get to go to japan in the end of the year cant wait to shop around and watch a bunch of wrestling

[@SteveGiffordLA]

I needed some socks when I was in Japan. I wear a 12. We went to a store that only sold socks. He looked at my feet and said "oh no!!!" 😂 He took me to a back corner of the shop where they had one small rack for people with freakishly large feet. 😂😂😂

[@DrewJoiner]

😂😂

[@Established__0529]

Loving your content! Ragla Magla was my favorite store that I visited in Shimolitazawa. Didn’t get any clothes from there but I definitely got a native style silver cuff. I’ll definitely make time to go to a Beams+ store next time I’m in Japan, but overall the shopping experience there is amazing, and you’ll definitely need a limit for the amount of stuff you buy 😂.

[@tsu08761e]

this is such a great video

[@Opiumbatman000]

Hey Drew, I’ve got a good idea for an upcoming video - what do you think of discussing the meaning of luxury nowadays as I think the meaning of this word changed a lot since Covid

[@tal4466]

he's done like 4 videos on something synonymous with this

[@DrewJoiner]

Yup! Added to the list

[@Opiumbatman000]

@@DrewJoiner cool for reference you can use the podcast from business of fashion with pharell Williams he has some cool things to say at the topic

[@jarradweir2406]

I don't tuck my grandad collar shirts. Beams flagship in Shinjuku is an awesome store. Ragtag, Kindal and Kinji stores are decent. You could go a month or two in Tokyo and not get through the vintage stores - it's pretty crazy.

[@markmoriwaki3158]

So cool! 🔥

Next time u're in Japan, u should go queue up for goro's, it's gonna take a couple of hours but it's a pilgrimage, remember to bring cash though, lot's of it

Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…

definitely tucked in! the granddad shirt

[@LuisMercadoorg]

Totally tuck them in.

[@mamatali83]

20 degree celcius it is autumn season?

[@atsuma696]

Grandad collar shirts in heavy cotton with stripes as usually workers shirts, so mills, manual labour etc, you’d have one shirt and you’d just swap out the collar for occasion and to keep the shirt “clean” the upper class would of have more bespoke of a wardrobe with finer shirts of higher quality

[@mligon]

These to me are curated vintage shops (with not so cheap prices) rather than true un-curated thrift shops. Props to curated shops though.

[@oniongummy8969]

From what i’ve seen, that’s a given in Japan

Really enjoying your channel! Is the Monk thrift store related to the Monk chain in NYC? I've shopped/donated clothes at one in the East Village. The next time you go to Tokyo, I've hard that Koenji is great for thrifting.

[@NN-yy9gb]

For other ppl checking this comment, the address Drew gave is correct, when u go to google maps try to zoom out a bit. U can see in the video the store front, which says the name is "With". So that's the precise location, it should be the correct listing with Drew giving a 5 star review.

Western people going to vintage shop in Tokyo, think they are scoring and let's not forget they loooove to tell people ''Oh, I got this from Tokyo'', but most things in the stores are from Europe and America.

はじめまして。 ローレンさんが買い物をしていた店は、私のお気に入りです。 古着だけでなく、リメイクでオリジナルな服をたくさん作っています。 下北沢は子供の頃から35年くらい通っていますが、今でも買い物を楽しめる街です。 昔は代官山もクールな街でしたが、開発でつまらない街になりました。値段も下北沢で売っている物が2倍、3倍の値段で売っています。 とても素敵で大好きな街だったので、今は残念です。ですが、素晴らしい店も多いので、機会があれば訪ねてみるのもいいかもしれません。OKURAという店は日本らしいデニムの服がクールです。 原宿も楽しいけど、値段は高めですね。家賃が高いのでしょう。 あなたが鎌倉で買ったバックは、本当に素敵ですね！ なんて素晴らしい宝物を見つけだしたのでしょう！
