Like wearing cat whiskers
Posted by: Michael Slater in Uncategorized, tags: tobi, welding, workshopLast time I was in Tokyo, I went to Mannen-ya, a clothing store forTobi, Japanese construction workers. I bought several pairs of Tobi pants and a two Tekkou shirts. I already had a Japanese designer’s shirt (agribeaspo) that was based on Tekkou-styling, so I figured I should go authentic and get a real Tekkou shirt. They’re great for welding in.

Today I wore my most modestly-sillhouetted Tobi while doing some brazing practice. Ling loves these pants too, but I bought them loose for me (95 waist) and so they’re impossible for her. I’ll be back in Tokyo this weekend, so I’ll find other Tobi shops.
I love wearing the stuff. I can’t wait to be in cool weather so I can wear my tobi-style mint green jacket, something I’ve had my eye on for six years, before I even knew these stores existed.
