(Update) In Japan hunting Boro
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!
