Condolences. You must have died because you’re clearly in heaven.

Amazing! you're like a kid in a candy store!!

Oh man, I didn't know where to look first. Their denim section was also crazy. A wall full with dead stock 40s Lee jeans.

Those were original type I and II Levi's truckers. ¥5,000,000

Did you buy anything!!??

Nope, nothing in my size that really blew my mind. Although that star glove is nice.

The last pic is dope. Those lapels...

Those lapels are FIRE

If he was my size this would be when I'd ask if I could have his stuff.

Like your beanie hats. What brand are they? Do you like the quality? It is tough to guess quality upfront with those.

I'm planning to visit them all lol. Not sure my girlfriend agrees. We visited berberjin today but it was a very small store, not much inventory? Looked like a popup store. Maybe there's a main store I missed.

Do it! The boot so nice I bought it twice! (I have a brown pair with the block heel)

There's a brown pair on the web with amazing patina.... Regret going for the black waterbuffalo since there seem to be no patina potential at all...

Which other ones are you heading to? Need to finalize my list for my next trip there...

Berberjin owns Fake Alpha. That's why you always see one re-post for the other on IG and why there's a link to the Berberjin store on Fake Alpha's IG.

Maybe Berberjin doesn't have much in their store becasue they sell online and mostly through the Fake Alpha channel since FA has been around for so long and have a reputation.

I have a few.

My olive green and black ones are from Buzz Rickson. They're my favorite- snug, but not painfully tight fit and dense, yet relatively soft wool.

My blue one shown here is from Papa Nui. It's a little too tight for my giant head and not quite as soft as the Buzz Rickson ones, but its still pretty nice and if you have a smaller head, will be fantastic.

My dark brown and gold/light brown ones are from Dehen. They are the roughest wool by far, but still quite comfortable because they are such a loose weave and so stretchy. I definitely like these.

I got my wife some cashmere ones from William Lockie which are unbelievably soft, but they have a set cuff which means I can't get any for me.

Plus one on the Buzz Rickson's... By far my favorite beanie. I will note that my Dehen beanies have softened up to a similar texture as the Buzz, but only after many months of regular wear. The man advantage with the Dehen is the variety of color, and the fact that they are fairly cheap on sale (46 bucks or their abouts).

Yeah they're a great price and still comfy because of the loose weave. Plus the colors are indeed quite nice.

some of those leathers look shot beyond repair or hope for revival, perhaps only useful for collection alone.
