Since the re-opening of travel to Japan, we have been inundated with posts regarding shopping for specific items in Japan. While /r/Japantravel’s rules specifically forbid posting new threads on individual establishments or services – we have decided to create specific threads for most common questions appearing in posts that got removed, discussion threads or Discord, especially since many of the write-ups that were posted befored COVID-19 hit were no longer up to date.
Today’s topic is: **Shopping for clothing in Tokyo and Kanto region**
Feel free to discuss shopping for high (and fast) fashion in Tokyo.

Please note that general discussions/vague questions are not usually allowed per /r/JapanTravel’s rules, and threads in the similar style will be removed.*

We’ve just got back from Japan and we were blown away by Uniqlo. We have it in the UK but it’s so much more expensive and the quality is excellent. I bought a bunch of t shirts and hoodies to take home.
I’m headed out next month for a trip and am wanting to purchase some shirts while I am there. The problem is though is that I wear a XXL size shirt. Do Japanese brands even make such a large shirt ? What would be a size that would come close that I can look for and try on ?
If you’re interested in vintage clothes, make a beeline for Shimokitazawa. (That’s where my niece loves to shop.) I stumbled on a cool little place there that sold heavy metal clothing, leather jackets and the like.
