Also, apologies, the audio / some sentences cut out in parts of the vid…recently got a new camera, which is being a pain in the ass and isn’t super compatible with my editing software atm!!
in my experience there’s not much difference in pricing between the two neighbourhoods, the only pricing difference is between the type of stores you go to!
hey mate thanks for tuning in! Hmmm kinji is great (one in harajuku and one in Shimokitazawa as well) they definitely are more thrift vibes so nothing too curated but if you have time to browse the shelves you could find something. Other cheap stores would be places like new york joe or chicago they usually have a decent selection of random headwear and shirts
thanks for tuning in! hmmm good question, personally i would go to whistler! If you’re looking for more budget friendly ones shops like chicago and kinji generally have dedicated sections for leather jackets
AMAZING VIDEO !!!!!! Super informative and to the point. You showcase everything really well, while also setting a really nice vibe with the editing and camera work. Ill definitely be checking out these spots when I'm there! Great video!!
Great video! I'm going to Tokyo next early Sept. Could you please tell me where I can get such as USAF leather jacket? I'm looking for Avirex or The Real McCoy's
Thanks for tuning in! Hope you have a great trip! I’m not 100% sure of any exact places, but I know Ameya Yokocho in Ueno has a lot of military based stores. Thrift chains like Chicago generally have dedicated areas for vintage military so hopefully you can find something there too
Any tips on finding retro electronics? eg 80's and 90s walkmans, headsets and other audio elecronics? I live in the suburbs surrounded by thousands of elderly japanese people and I can SENSE the piles of old gear just sitting in their homes gathering dust for the past 30 years. Places like Akihabara are not so great because they usually stockpile all the high-deamand retro items for a premium. I prefer some treasure hunting.
not 100% familiar bro, but maybe you could try shops like Hard Off, pretty sure they buy, sell and trade for electronics and have branches throughout Tokyo. And yeah I can imagine Akihabara would be expensive!
@@miguel_valero appreciate the reply man! Good looking threads by the way. I've got a 2nd street and a Kash Kosh nearby which keep my retro cardigan game super strong
This is a very niche question but I’m going to Tokyo soon and I’m thinking about picking up a denim jacket with a unique design on the back, branching out from what I usually wear. Do you have any suggestions on where to look for that kind of thing, and if so the rough price point I should expect? No worries if not, great video all the same!
hey mate! can’t go wrong with that type of denim jacket! Really good question, but I would say you could potentially find stuff like that in Ameyo-Yokocho which is a shopping street in the Ueno area. If you try vintage shopping in Shimokitazawa I feel you may find shops that do those designs. Price point depends on the age/brand of the item but probably looking at 50-100USD on the cheap end and probably 300+ on more branded ones. Thank you for watching
Hi Miguel. We may visit Tokyo this December. May we request from you to list for us 3 big vintage shops you visited with good array of good clothing and shoes with reasonable prices. Thank you
hey Ramon that’s exciting. A few of the shops are actually shown in this video and one of my other ones but will name them for you here: Kinji, New York Joe, and JAM
I thought I was a straight man but golly gosh that's one handsome and stylish gentleman right there. Thanks for the hook ups, will definitely check these spots out in Tokyo when I'm there in August.
Nice video bro and all good shops….have you been around Shimokita lately? A recent explosion of vintage shops. I think you could do a whole video around Shimokitazawa vintage clothing shops. Cheers and keep up the nice work!
thanks heaps for watching bro! Totally agree man, it was already so crazy even before, but now more shops keep opening up which is always good to see. Would love to put something like that together in the future! Thanks again
hey there if you mean thrift as in traditional goodwill type of stores I actually don’t know too many in tokyo haha, i only know vintage/somewhat curated stores that stock secondhand clothes
great question bro and to be honest not 100% sure. I know a store in Koenji that stocks some good vintage Stussy called Focal! Other than that, best bet is to maybe go to more curated/brand stores like Ragtag, Kindal or even 2nd Street
bro I'm planning to come in Japan, I love the Japanese americana style, but I have something the make me worried about it. Japanese are known to be pretty skinny guys it seems that you are jacked but I don't know how tall you are. is it possible to find something nice in those place that can actually fit a man who workout and that is 6.2 ft / 220 lbs ? thank you
hey mate! I’m around 5’10! I would say from experience a lot of these stores cater to bigger people bro - you should be able to find XL, XXL, XXXL in some cases, given that a lot of these pieces are from America! Hope you have a good time in Japan brother
i think of most of these stores have the tax free thing for foreigners and it’s usually stated somewhere inside the store! can always ask the sales assistants if it’s not clear
Are there any thrift stores that have things for tall men? Or up to like Western XL in men's? I'm Japanese size lol but I want to take my brothers who are big & tall; I know oversized is kinda popular there. They're bang-on XL so would that be too hard to find? I don't want to drag them around if nothing would fit them.. Also: Any good spots for anime t shirt? My friend collects them. :) Appreciate ya!
hey bro appreciate the question! I would say in general most stores have Western XL/XXL sizes and some even have 3XL/4XL, but it can be hit or miss. I know one store that’s called UpperUpper located in Ueno that always have super oversized/big sizing, they stock a lot of classic streetwear in their basement and a little workwear at the ground level instagram.com/uprupr?igshid=MWQ1ZGUxMzBkMA== Another shop i know that has some bigger sizing is Fifty Fifty located in Koenji! Not too familiar with any anime t, but best bet would be to shop around Akihabara, which is like a suburb known for anime, gaming and electronics
hey bro , unfortunately I actually haven’t been there before so don’t know about the vintage shopping scene there! Hopefully I get to go and do a vid in the future

Nice vid mate. Which one would you recommend the most if I’m mostly seeking earth tone or black outerwear with minimal/casual style? No crazy details or anything like that.
I got 501's in amazing condition at Don Don. I mean the cashier kind of did a double take at the low price. I pointed out they did have a small hole, but still it was like my lucky day. I don't have any suggestions. There was an awesome upstairs shop that closed. 😢 Also, 2nd Street and Kinji, are they still around? I didn't buy any clothes there, but I got a simple genuine Native American silver ring at Kinji. I wasn't expecting anything like that.
great pickup! Oh damn. Yep both 2nd Street and Kinji are still around, great stores that serve every type of customer really! Very nice so many hidden gems at these places
thanks for tuning in bro! The hoodie is by a super random Korean brand called Urban, picked it up in Seoul. Brands like Porter James Sports and Studio De Jore do similar fitting ones!
bro would you happen to know where i could get carhartt detroits at a decent price? btw the only vid ive come across so far with legit recos, keep it up!!!
Hmmm good question bro, I would probably go with Ebay! So many of the detroits that some vintage shops are defs overpriced these days!! Thank you for tuning in bro! 🤝
Hi there used to be youtube clips about the actual 1950s vintage Americana scene in Japan (no not vintage shops but the actual 1950's scene). It was older footage (before y2K generation). I remember seeing very cool dudes decked out in 1950s Americana..and they had there own scene at various swing clubs and bebop bars etc. No i am not talking about the leather clad Elvis characters that dance at Yoji park either- it was something different and much cooler....now i cant find it anywhere on youtube. Do you happen to know where i can track down these uploads? Whenever i search for rockabilly, its always those guys that dance at the park, that comes up.
Jam, Chicago etc are chains and tend to be priced slightly higher imo, I tend to avoid the chain ones and go to the unique solo shops. But then again they're all great, vintage shopping in Tokyo is a treat in general! Love this video, more recommendations like this please.
for sure bro, the independent shops are always a good play and the chains are always useful if you want a bit more variety sometimes! Thanks heaps for watching 🤝
hey bro I would love tooo but have no immediate plans to go there atm! I have a vintage shopping in Seoul vlog from around this time last year which has a few stores in there if you haven’t seen that one!
@@miguel_valero yeah was gonna say this lol, assumed you were aussie for a sec then i listen on and am like bruhhh this guys kiwi as 😂 nice video bro!
Hmmm Shimokitazawa has so many, but I would say try out Pigsty, Micmo, Dylan, Syuna, DamageDone, Flamingo, Shimokita Garage, Grizzly and Big Time (to name a few!)
@@miguel_valero Actually I had a reply to share more information about BerBerJin but it disappeared (or was deleted?). I was trying to clarify that BerBerJin in your video is BerBerJin Laboratory but The famous BerBerJin, although they are all both constructed by same Director Fujiwara
thank you for watching! Great question, I would say if you’re limited with time, try spend half a day to a day in Koenji, it’s a suburb on the west side of Tokyo around 10-15 mins from Shinjuku station. A lot of the shops on the list (Whistler, Slat, Don Don Down, Big Time and Re’all) are located/have branches in Koenji! If you have more time and want to thrift more, definitely check out Shimokitazawa, another cool suburb!
Spending $20,000 on a handbag is the obvious choice versus spending $200 on a *preluxscom* bag and investing the remaining $19,800, since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to increase in value.
Fire video man! Got a list of true vintage shops to visit in shimakitazawa? And do most of these stores buy as well? Currently in tokyo and brought a few things to sell
thanks for watching! Planning to do a dedicated Shimokitazawa video at some point. Not all of them buy, they’ll usually have signs in the store that states whether they buy/sell/trade
Hey mate! Yeah a few of them do actually and there are other stores in Tokyo that are buy/sell/trade ones. Out of the stores in this video I’ve only sold clothes to New York Joe. I’ve also tried selling clothes at a place called Ragtag! I’ve got a video on it from late last year if that helps!
Also, apologies, the audio / some sentences cut out in parts of the vid…recently got a new camera, which is being a pain in the ass and isn’t super compatible with my editing software atm!!
do you have any suggestions where I could find vintage WW2 military era, coats, raincoats, motorbike coats, ponchos.. etc. ?
which one is more cheap (regardless the brand) shimokitazawa or koenji? because the brands is not important to me
in my experience there’s not much difference in pricing between the two neighbourhoods, the only pricing difference is between the type of stores you go to!
Bro what glasses are you wearing? Awesome video too mate! Those OG Derby’s and Docs at Whistler were straight 🔥
Just some Raybans bro! Forgot the model but the hexagon shaped ones! Whistler is a must see bro so many good shoes!!
Yooo i'm definitely saving this list whenever I visit Japan. Appreciate all the work you do man!

Any tips on finding retro electronics? eg 80's and 90s walkmans, headsets and other audio elecronics?

Amazing video and style! If you had to suggest just 3 of those spots what will be your choice? I will be in Tokyo for 5 days so my time is limited 😢
thank you for watching! Great question, I would say if you’re limited with time, try spend half a day to a day in Koenji, it’s a suburb on the west side of Tokyo around 10-15 mins from Shinjuku station. A lot of the shops on the list (Whistler, Slat, Don Don Down, Big Time and Re’all) are located/have branches in Koenji! If you have more time and want to thrift more, definitely check out Shimokitazawa, another cool suburb!
@@miguel_valerothank you so much, I’ll let you know if I end up finding something 🫶🏼
@@miguel_valeromate I’m in Shimokitazawa right now, any fair priced spots u know here haha?
@@f4llenstarr probably Chicago and New York Joe bro! Pigsty is decent from memory. Some hidden gems in Shimokita Garage Department too
@@miguel_valero Grabbed some nice trouseres from New York Joe! Cheers brother... Your videos are helpful man keep it up
Im a size 14 US. Should I skip Whistler?
might a bit tougher to find your size bro, but still recommend going - heaps of other great shops in the area close to Whistler
Spending $20,000 on a handbag is the obvious choice versus spending $200 on a *preluxscom* bag and investing the remaining $19,800, since a $20,000 bag is unlikely to increase in value.
inspired by yr vids, keep up!
thanks for tuning in! More vlogs coming soon!!

Show some prices so we can get some idea b4 going there plse

@@miguel_valero awesome !
Fire video man! Got a list of true vintage shops to visit in shimakitazawa? And do most of these stores buy as well? Currently in tokyo and brought a few things to sell
thanks for watching! Planning to do a dedicated Shimokitazawa video at some point. Not all of them buy, they’ll usually have signs in the store that states whether they buy/sell/trade
Keep it up! Good video!
thanks for tuning in fella! Appreciate it
ID on pants?
the black cargos are from Conichiwa Bonjour bro, green cargos just thrifted militaries, sweats from a Japanese brand called I
@@miguel_valero thank you! Would you happen to have an instagram link or a website link for the Japanese brand ‘l’ for those grey sweatpants?

Thanks bro!
So good info for me, thanks
thanks for tuning in!
What a great video. Thanks for sharing all these locations. Hope to be out there soon.
thanks for tuning in bro, yeah hope you get there soon!
Do you recall if any of these shops BUY vintage off people?
Hey mate! Yeah a few of them do actually and there are other stores in Tokyo that are buy/sell/trade ones. Out of the stores in this video I’ve only sold clothes to New York Joe. I’ve also tried selling clothes at a place called Ragtag! I’ve got a video on it from late last year if that helps!
Thanks homie
