Nah, I went to a Uniglo(top retailer in Japan) in Soho Manhattan today and all the styles were like at least 3 months behind that of the Americans Some of the shirts material were really cheap and thin and was like somewhat overpriced.(let just say at Kmart or even walmart I can get some of the things in better quality). Plus some of the styles are really fobby like no one in their right mind would wear something so tacky down the street.
humm... i heard from a friend who went to korea that alot of guys carry something that resembles a purse... i don't think that'll catch on any time soon
i think they look great u sling it over ur shoulder kinda like a brief case but a bag. the fashion that are just hitting the streets right now are 3-4 years old in asia. The zip up shirts , bell bottom pants and chains. the new fashion i believe in asia right now is more of the up tight high class look with the dress shirts tight blazers n stuff. Depends what image ur goin for but yea they are movin up from what i mentioned above that are just hitting the streets in america/canada
