Summer is the worst. Well, I shouldn’t say that. There are good things about summer. Summer weather, however, is awful. Heat makes me miserable, sluggish, sweaty, and irritable.

While many of us Amekaji weirdos do care a lot about the quality of our clothing and how it ages, we also care about how our… Continue reading How Not to Dress Well: Learning From my Past Style Mistakes

The reason was that while I normally prefer more vintage-oriented and reproduction-style jeans right now, I do sometimes find myself tempted by more… Continue reading Oni x Tanuki 21.5oz Secret Denim Jeans Review
