I'll be going in there soon, but just to chat, check out their wares and add to my sartorial vocabulary in Japanese.

At the moment, I'm just finishing up my entirely chocolate breakfast.

Those Zegna monks are nice. They also come in dark brown suede.

I need a pair of those Chelseas.

I'd like to get a pair of RM Williams, but with the more rounded toe.  Maybe in very dark brown or black with the lighter brown elastic.

I like the shoo, lower row, middle.  Some of those squared or "chisel" toe shoes with the double row of eyelet looks good.  Sort of reminds me of some of the AA illustrations.

New Year's sales are in full swing in Tokyo. The day before yesterday I scoped out the prospects in Ginza. Yesterday, I moved in for the kill. I bought 2 Zegna ties at 30% off and 4 Dunhill ties for half price. Then I went to Brooks Brothers, where there was a veritable feeding frenzy of shoppers, and bought two merino sweaters.

My final stop was Hermes, where I contemplated the purchase of an orange cashmere scarf just to prove a point to someone else on another forum who opined that nobody can pull off the Hermes hallmark orange. It was about half what I expected to pay, so a purchase is imminent while it's still the season to wear it.

Thoughts about wearing the Hermes orange?

Ginza Tailor was not open, but I picked up one of their fliers and discovered that their prices are much more reasonable than I had expected. I'll be going there soon to begin to develop a relationship with the establishment.
