Finally the ball soaking, muggy, mess that is Tokyo summer is easing. I can finally walk the streets without having to drink 4 liters of water to replace all the fluids I lose while dodging other sweaty people on the way to my destination. But walk the streets I must.
While on my daily commute I’ve noticed that without suit jackets Japanese on their way to the office universally wear white dress shirts, usually with their sleeves rolled up. Walking through Shinjuku station is like walking through a sea of white button up, cotton, office wear.
With that in mind I’m ready to get some new clothes. Here’s what I’m thinking:

I need a new shirt so I’d thought I’d ask you the viewing public to weigh in on which one is best. Vote in the comments! I included another shirt to the right.
In Japan you are not really Japanese unless you own a Louie Vuitton Bag. This shirt is a play on words that takes the Kanji for beautiful and the Kanji for Pig so that the two combined Kanji sounds are pronounced “Vi-Ton” (As in Vuton … Louie Vuitton). It’s a cool idea and I like word/Kanji plays but the shirt design is a tad to “fierce”
I would say either your blog sucks, or the I like wikipedia cuz, although if the pig is in the running go for the pig it makes asian women think of gettin it on, at least Chinese ones.
Honey, the pig shirt is fierce and fabulous. Get it. I also chuckled at the Illusion one. It might be your style.
the cho-baka one made laugh. But really, why don’t you just get a blue shirt and try and start a trend?
“Illusions- tricks are what whores do for money”
Fabulous. I want it.
Sorry, I believe I have the group rights to black clothing. Black and Red. I don’t really own anything else.
Haha “fierce”!
I will say I am a fan of the cho-baka as well as the wiki shirt.
So tough finding cool shirts cause you end up finding so many and then you have to make a choice cause you can’t very well get them all. Or rather I can’t, boo not having unlimited money.
Vi-Ton for sure! I love the play on words with kanji!
Definitely get the bi-ton one!!! I laughed a lot when I saw those, but I was stupid to not buy one for myself… from the other ones, I’d get the one with the moon and the wolves.
Illusions and Vader are pro. A friend of mine has a line of shirts for his hobby company Vanilla Gorilla Ink. http://vanillagorillaink.blogspot.com/ It’s a hobby but we are good friends and I can probably get you one if interested. See #1 for the definition http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vanilla%20gorilla . I was trying to find those old shirts Hilton would wear…..”you can’t always be first, but you can always be next” HAHA!
JP, yeah man he and I ordered a bunch of those out of the back of FLEX magazine or something. Some shitpot company in Minnesota was making them. Awesome shirts though.
