“I just popped in and was surprised at the quality of the second-hand clothes. The clothes were almost deadstock and beautifully displayed, and it didn't look like a second-hand clothing store at all. The prices were a little high, but it was a pleasant experience that was different from the major second-hand clothing stores where you can't shop in a relaxed atmosphere because you're surrounded by foreigners and young people. The staff also quickly picked out a pair of jeans that looked good, and they had nice fading and were in good condition, so I ended up buying them. There are probably a lot of regulars here, so the good items probably sell out quickly, but I'd like to visit more often in the future. There was deadstock from ecwcs level 3 on display, and this was the first time I'd seen it in Tokyo.”

“Staff is really friendly and speaks good English. I have an odd body size and they almost searched the entire store for me. I left with two Ralph Lauren shirts that fit me perfectly.”

“One of Japan’s best independent vintage clothing stores. A wide variety of fun and unique items. The owner of the store has to be one of the nicest people I have met in the vintage clothing business. There is something for everybody in the store. The store is constantly packed with new inventory consistently. There are three locations and I recommend you check them all out. 🙌”

“They didn't give me annoying service like people with arm tattoos clinging to me, but subtly made my shopping experience easier. I tried on dozens of clothes, but didn't show any signs of displeasure. So for the first time in a while, I was able to concentrate and buy everything I wanted. It was a day when I really wanted to find my favorite clothes. The chinos the sales assistant was wearing looked cool so I copied them and bought two pairs and a belt. I've been to second-hand clothing stores many times before, but I've given up because I didn't like the inside of the store or the smell of the second-hand clothes, or I couldn't find any items I liked. I was happy to find many aloha shirts that I liked at caliente. Apparently the AW season is in early September, so I'll go again for another shopping spree.”

“Very nice owner to talk to and good organization of the shop. Bought a shirt for a good price”
