What the Hell is Kimono & How to Style Them

[@danielgalil5020]

I started wearing a black vintage haori over a t-shirt with my black jeans during the summer. What really got me into wearing kimono were seeing pictures of my favorite japanese novelists Osamu Dazai and Yasunari Kawabata in photos. Not only are they light weight(I like wearing flannel shirts in the fall winter and spring so a summer "jacket" is a must have for me) because it's silk, but the sleeves function as pockets for small stuff. I also got into wearing a blue denim samue jacket.

[@abdullahbinmadhi8306]

Kindogi and Noragi have a huge potential to put it in my wardrobe, It works well with minimal textured neutral color aesthetic. U will stand out as a layering pieces also possible to be worn in summer for cold conditioned libraries or museum.

[@wheresmyrooptoff4056]

you should definitely do a vid on traditional japanese footwear at some point! everyone knows the tabi by now but there's definitely more gold out there

[@dru812002]

Thank you for educating us! I’m looking forward to picking some pieces up. I’ve always appreciated this style.

[@knak7509]

Akashi-Kama! I have a few of their Noragis and it's definitely a versatile piece.

[@mikelovejoy3148]

Oil and Lumber from Tennessee make some awesome noragis. Handmade, I've got a black and an olive one. Oversized Not as tailored as the Akashi-Kama which is fine for me. Tons of pockets give it even more of a workweek feel

[@kaedamayu]

I have a vintage haori that I wear as a regular jacket in office. Love it!

[@LostindiscoveryDotCom]

Got a new Haori from S’yte by Yohji Yamamoto and it’s great. Akashi Kama noragi’s are also super comfortable and easy to wear.

[@brandonutchan]

Is it the Indian kadi one? It's been in my wishlist for a while. Just waiting to pull the trigger.

[@gorillasblue]

So inspired by the kindogi and noragi. Nice posing btw. Great vid

[@Hotsauce1984]

Yukata got that Yohji Yamamoto vibe to it!

[@enbyunicorn]

i learned so much watching this! thank you

[@jomni]

I love the idea of noragi. As it is literally workwear.

[@mewmedic]

I didn't know about a lot of those jackets at the beginning of the video. Thank you for educating me!

[@quasar4472]

it's not listed but I adore Hanten style coats, I want to buy one for the colder seasons!

[@user-pb6ii6dn3z]

Nice video. One of my fans when it comes to international fashion. Good Job.

[@cathrinaugusti1052]

Best type of garments ever, love my collection.

[@isaiahstruve2224]

I found a Happi in Kyoto and it’s one of my favorite layering pieces. It’s a little loud, but that’s what I love about it

[@chrisdjohnson314]

The noragi and happi are the dopest to me.along with the rest depending on your style.

[@curwinsamuels5773]

Having seen a kimono a few years ago on your channel, I knew I wanted one, but didn't know what type it was, sort of, I'd know when I saw it. Thanks to you I know it's Noragi and I was lucky enough to recently pick up a Noragi styled piece in Amsterdam of all places, but then again Netherlands and Japan do have some history. As a South African, I've got loads to learn about it but I digress, thanks for the information and knowledge Reggie..much appreciated.

[@rawr5209]

I was looking for a Jinbei! I finally know what to search. Hahahahah. I want to replace all my daily shirts to something like that.

[@dragonswordstriker]

I got introduced to these garment styles via Naked and Famous' kimono shirts. I have a few now, and one haori. I find they suit me better than cardigans, overshirts, and denim jackets; I personally find collars and buttons get in the way when I want something to just throw over.

[@ephraimcamacho9600]

Thank you for your video and the info!!❤

[@esaedvik]

Don't ever feel bad about pronouncing stuff natively. Some may think it's somehow pretentious, but I appreciate stuff like that a lot. It's respecting the culture. You live there, you know your shit.

[@THECASUALco]

Thanks man. Sometimes I overthink it

[@16Giam]

A jogger hakama-like style making reference to the pleats of the hakama would be awesome

[@Draphcone]

First westerner in Japan: What are you wearing? Japanese person: Clothes.

[@user-fk3mg2qg6o]

Really love this, thank you

[@infinati]

Dope video. Now I know what these things are actually called!

[@Syahidsahoarder]

Finally someone said it!

[@MHH2121]

Great video! So informative

[@ronaldomalcom8902]

Bro thank you. I have kinda been struggling with the kimono.

[@markbailey5393]

Love the jinbei. Not sure where to get it in the uk or online. Great vid as usual.

[@ce_rouse]

You gotta Yukata! 😏

[@ros8986]

But you did not mention hakama? (maybe I missed it) I think hakama have a great influence also. Love the Haori. I bought a half dozen hakama but just didn't have the nerve to wear them in public. But they were so gorgeous, so elegant. they went to a guy who did have the nerve to wear them.

[@carlospereira358]

What about the Hanten ,…? How can we used them ? 🙏🏽♥️ thank you and have a wonderful day!!

[@ioan_jivan]

Any idea on how to add front straps to the haori because it keeps falling? 🤔

[@dhruvinaagaja576]

Not from Japan, Where can i buy them

[@ReallyDarnell]

Akashi Kama and Maharishi are good ones. Maharishi can run on the expensive side but the often have have really good deals towards the end of the summer/winter fashion seasons. An example I got a 600 dollar kimono for a bout 260

[@ReallyDarnell]

Forgot to mention they have online stores as well

[@ronaldomalcom8902]

Is there a way to pair it with a button-down?

[@THECASUALco]

Yes of course! But try a colorless button down. It might work better

[@lyricsandmoodsongs]

Can we see a version of this regardless of size and shape?

[@MrBachChoy]

If im in the states where would be the best place to get mens kimono/ haori/ jinbeis?

[@haroldgrey134]

In the West we shoulda developed this kind of intricate expansion of dressing styles but based on bath robes... opportunity lost!😂

[@WCCXtra]

Ghostface Killah tried, but that's way too much responsibility for one man to carry lol

[@Keichan2501]

I liked the black shorts in the last outfit. What brand is that?

[@claudelk1719]

2:39 what brand, where exactly can I buy it? Absolutely my style 😅 Any help here will be appreciated

The Japanese accent just come out subconsciously with yu 😂 Understandable 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@MusicMusic1-ce7if]

Nope he likely undsrstands hiragana katakana and varikus kanji and knows how to pronounce the words themseleves. Ots not an accent impersonation but something that comes naturally. Japan is very learnable in terms of "accents".

[@16Giam]

Iaidogi is more flexible than kendogi, although it’s similar, Kendo tends to be more strict and more often (almost always) unicolor, like iaido when doing grade tests.

[@THECASUALco]

This is true. However the amount of Kendogi you find in Japan (or Kendogi adjacent pieces) are far more plentiful

[@franspick7776]

You look awesome in the noragi.would like to have ago at sewing in suede..

[@zoubeirfaouzi149]

Jeeej I'm a Noragi

[@soulrebel2006]

Dude I can’t take you seriously after you didn’t even name one of the most respected and regarded non Nike and Adidas sneaker of all time in your list. How could you not name the “Puma Clyde” is beyond me. Lack of kick knowledge or preferences over Japanese !!

[@christophersimmons7784]

Bruh we on to the next vid and u still salty about an OPINION or PREFERENCE… y’all so silly on here 😂 anyway Reggie keep doing your thing you have taught me so much keep it pushing ✊🏾

[@soulrebel2006]

@@christophersimmons7784 bra mind you business and stop capping for dude he a grown man 😂

[@THECASUALco]

For reference my dude, this is a space where we want people to ADD to the conversation. We didn’t add the Clyde on purpose because it is already well known. Notice we didn’t add Vans Era either. We are not here to validate already preexisting knowledge but to further that knowledge. Naming sneakers that everyone already knows does nothing to further that knowledge. Lastly, as we are based in Tokyo, our lean has been to highlight Japan more because it’s woefully under covered. But it also goes back to highlighting what people don’t necessarily know about. We respect the opinions of others as well, which is why at the end it was stated that the list wasn’t exhaustive and you are free to add more. You never know a “Subscriber version” of the same list might appear one day!

[@THECASUALco]

Appreciate the support👍🏽

[@soulrebel2006]

@@THECASUALco an everybody doesn’t know Tiger? Well your opinion. But the title did say “non nike and adidas”. And to not name the sneaker even honorably is total disrespect. The first sneaker to kick off sneaker culture, the first sneaker to use “exotic” material like leather and suede at up market price and still be alive and kicking and respected should have been atleast mentioned. Total disrespect. But still a subscriber 😂 bussing yo chops 😂 BTW been to Japan twice.
