I purchased these beauties from Yuichi Toyama while in Tokyo.

I was hunting for a circular silver frame and originally was headed to Eyevan, but this shop was on the way and I stumbled in and fell in love with the brand.

Question - I’m thinking of going with a sweet violet for the silver. What % tint makes the most sense for something that’s usable indoors? 20%

For the gold pair, I have a a few amber/brown tinted lenses already so I would like a diff look. Should I do green or a light red? Also would like for the tiny to be light enough to be used indoors.

Appreciate any help.

Purchased my first Kuoe while in Kyoto last week. Absolutely love it. Purchased this additional bracelet to go along with the tan leather strap.

Quick question - the correct way of winding is upward toward the 12, correct?

I tried winding and the wheel felt a bit tight so I didn’t know if I was doing it correctly (or perhaps the watch was already wounded as much as possible).

A couple weeks ago I posted how I was hunting for Boro during my stay in Japan.

While I managed to find one blue Boro at the Kyoto location, it unfortunately was too small. When I saw it behind the counter I surely thought it was going to fit perfectly but the sleeves were just a bit too short and sadly had to walk away.

On the brighter side, I was able to pick up a century denim jacket and pant which I’m pretty excited about (the dark brown color). I bought the jacket in Kyoto and the associate said I should size up since it will shrink significantly. I was hesitant on this because I tried the size 4 that fit me perfectly but he recommend going to the 5 if i wanted to be sure that it would fit well over time, so I went with the 5.

The pants were tricky to find as I wear a 36 and those were pretty much sold out everywhere. I got lucky in the tiny location in Ginza where they had them. Similar to the jacket they recommended I size up to 38 due to shrinking.

All around, it was pretty fun trying to hunt for the Boro. I ended up visiting 9 locations between Tokyo Kyoto and Osaka (yes I collected all the cards from each). Staff was pretty cool for the most part. No major issues and they seemed genuinely supportive.

I’m attaching a photo of my haul which includes some non-Kapital items. I would love to hear your experience with century denim as these are my first and I want to make sure I treat them well. Any advice or tips would be helpful. Thanks!
