Harajuku Chicago Shimokitazawa — Local services in Tokyo

I actually like this store and have bought a few things from here but an interaction I had today at their store rubbed me the wrong way: today was very windy and I noticed Some of their display racks had fallen over outside so I told them in English using gestures. They did not say thank you or seem appreciative that I did this because I really could’ve just said nothing and let their Merchandise blow away in the wind. I ended buying some pants this same day and as I was walking out with my shopping bag the worker (blond hair Japanese guy) didn’t even say thanks for your purchase. Just walked right past me without acknowledging that I helped them or purchased something. It’s a shame because I actually like the store but the staff was not kind to me. I think it’s because I’m...

Chicago is the kind of thrift store where you walk in planning to “just browse” & walk out with something that makes you feel like you’ve won a prize. The racks go deep: Levi’s, Hawaiian shirts, military jackets, sports jerseys, you name it. It’s organized enough to not feel overwhelming, but still messy enough to feel like a proper treasure hunt.

I scored a vintage MLB jersey here...in my size, at a shockingly low price. That’s basically the thrift store trifecta: rare, wearable, & affordable. Around the store you’ll also find bins of pins, patches & bandanas if you’re the kind of person who likes flair with your fashion.

This joint is a must-stop if you’re into thrifting. Big selection, fair pricing & the thrill of actually finding something you’ll wear, not just admire...

This is one of my go-to places in Shimokita for some throwback 90s street wears. They usually stock a ton of old school NBA related brands like Starters and FILAs. They often have a discount vintage clothing out front of the store that I have found some super cool items in the past. Definitely on the more feasible side in terms of pricing, compared to most used clothing shops in the are. I always make sure to stop by this place before settling on any pieces of clothing I might find at other stores just to make sure they don’t have anything similar...
