Read moreMany choices for sukajan jackets . The price you may think is expensive. But some designs are very rare. You may not find it in another shop . It's worth buying in this shop. I bought another sukajan from Don Quijote. but just because it was cheap . I bought a Ted company little devil sukajan from this shop. It is high quality,rare. I really really love it. I had researched sukajan before going to Japan. I had chosen the sukajan of my mind already. I understand what I'm going to buy. There are a few of the best shops in Tokyo. This shop is the one for me. Their staffs speak a little bit of English. Some staff couldn't. They are friendly ,polite and respectful . I had a little happy chat with them. Better to look at their website and take a screenshot before you visit the shop. It will help to find your rare sukajan. This shop have a sister shop in next street. Have a different styles sukajan. Good to ask the staff where it is.
PS **In this generation. Many clothing is Japan designed.but made from other countries. But sell in Japan only. It will be very expensive if you find one made in Japan. I know another shop custom made sukajan in Tokyo. I will not talk about it here. Anyway. What you pay...
