I love how the right handwarmer pocket and the diagonal breast pocket are on a line, and at the same angle. That's such a nice design touch.

Do they produce 1 or 2 collections a year? It seems that most of their most desirable outerwear is unavailable right now.

Yes they pretty much only produce 2 collections per year and much of their best pieces sell out very quickly.
I've been after a brakeman or caboose for a while and the price as we as the difficulty in finding them had put me off for now. My trip to Japan this summer may change all this however.

All of their stockists are small shops. They usually only have one piece per size per style per season and they do not restock during the season. The main shop in Tokyo carries more stock (warehouse upstairs) but no online sale.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will add it to the list. What other brands do they have there?

Both Americaya 610 and Hinoya consist of a number of shops scattered around the Shopping Street at Ueno. From Freewheelers and McCoy's in one 610 shop to Aero and Vanson in another 610 shop on the opposite side. For a list of brands:-

BTW, some shops have "regular rest day" e.g. Toys McCoy closes every Monday.

You can check their websites to make sure.

Yeah. I checked and several are closed on Mondays, but I'm mostly going to be shopping on Saturday, Sunday, and a bit on Monday as well. Thanks!

Great. Sunday at Harajuku could be fun. You may find some Cosplayers in front of the subway station.
I would trade them all for one of those that fit half as good as those do!

Haha wouldn't surprise me. I wonder how they compare to the ones at Anime Expo lol

I thought a mere mention of anything that is anime related is a bannable offence on this site? If not, it should be.
