I may be in Tokyo in a couple of weeks!

If I am, I intend to comport myself like a lottery-winning blind drunk *** addict in a brothel on "two for one" day.

Where should I go? Yes, plenty of threads like this, but I've enjoyed reading all of them, so here's one more.

Oh boy, where do I start. Depends what you’re into.

Given you’re in TFL and this is the outerwear thread, I’m assuming you’re into heritage / vintage / workwear adjacent.

If so, first stop is Ueno and specifically Americaya.

If you’re after vintage and don’t mind browsing and getting lost in a sea of cool pre loved stuff, Shimokitazawa and Koenji.

For a good measure, check out Daikanyama also for a modern modern neo vintage & higher end labels.

For watches, Nakano.

For everything else, get yourself lost in Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ginza.

Thanks for the great suggestions! I'm mostly looking for a leather jacket. But probably also some jeans, maybe a bundle of tees, possibly some shoes. We'll see.

Asakusa has a lot of the good shoe shops, Brother Bridge, Wheel Robe (you may need an appointment) Rolling Dub Trio

For Shibuya area, don't miss Moto my favourite boots are from there, and nearby in Harajuku you can find Attractions.

Depends what leather jacket you want but just look at the stockists online sites if after new. For vintage you can check out FakeAlpha if only to look, they have rare jackets there with a matching price. I had much better luck looking for deals on vintage or secondhand through online marketplaces like Yahoo Auctions or Mercari though.

from the harajuku train stop you can easily walk to Mari'juan for cool SDA jeans and tees and a bunch of leather jackets, north through Harajuku street where there's a bunch of second hand and vintage stores with denim and leather, and then to Desolation row for freewheelers stuff.
