MASH Co. Osaka - Ueno/Tokyo and Okinawa, Japan

[dadgad]

Here for your curiosity some pics I took last month in Osaka, Japan.
I was lucky enough because In Japan they usually don't allow to take pictures in the stores, quite weird considering
that out of their countries they take pictures of everything...not complaining though, that's the way.

The guy is not the owner (to whom I speak with) but a clerk of the store:

the following are from Ueno/Tokyo, the district of of Flight Jacket junkies...:

The last one from Okinawa:

Man you are lucky. I would seriously go broke there. Of course most of the jackets are probably size 38 or smaller.

 

[John Lever]

My thoughts entirely. It would be dangerous to be let loose there.

Man -- need 2 days just to catch your breath... and the third to melt the credit card.

nope, I've seen almost any size until 44...lot of "gaijin" 'round there

Didn't buy this year, last year I got a Black William Gibson BR's MA-1.
I just tried on B-10s and B-6s to understand if they could be right for me...B-10 is not, B-6 is but I have no reason to wear one in Milan, very rarely we go below 0 C°...

The BR's Black A1 completely disappointed me, is made with the hardest and stiffest leather I had the chance to touch in my life! :shock:

It really surprises me that nobody (that I know of) has opened such a store in the U.S.

I go to Japan every couple of years,unfortunately repro's don't really do it for me unless they are cheap.

They really go in for it in a big way over there. Great photos. Looks like there are a few originals mixed in there too.
