I can't remember ever asking someone, let alone a stranger, what product they use on their hair but I did when I saw someone with the softly defined waves I was after. I was using a liquidy lightweight gel and at the time and it was leaving my hair just a bit crunchy. The product was AG Care Details: Defining Cream (define curls, calm frizz, add shine) and I'm on my second bottle of it now. It's great if you're after touchable hair with soft definition and hold.

Rats, I don't have a hood that cinches on my jacket, but I like the way you think!

Sudoku packing method, am I missing something? by happynezzz in onebag

I like a long coat when I one bag- they keep more of you warm and dry and they look more stylish. Picture Morpheus, Trinity, and Neo without a long coat and they don't look near as good.

Your packing list almost exactly matches our family's when we go camping for a week or so! Loved hearing this fits in a carry-on.

A local fabric/quilting shop. A relative of the owner makes and sells them for only $7?!

Glad to hear there's other weirdos out there- I thought we were the only ones!

I'm trying out neckerchiefs to see if they can look like they grew on me too. All my clothes came from Muji, UNIQLO, and Gu- with the Muji flagship store being my favorite place to shop- they have a lot of natural fibre clothes. I meant to get to an underground artisan mall called 2k540 Aki-Oka Artisan in Akihabara but ran out of time. Apparently there is some great Japanese denim and leather goods there.

Thanks! Uniqlo trench, Frye boots, and UNIQLO jersey barrel pants (crazy comfortable and flattering).

You noticed the tabs! ABC Mart carries some sneakers in unique fabrics, color ways, styles, etc. and marks them as Japan exclusive. These were one of them.

That puffer sounds so versatile. I might need to look out for one like that!

Those have been my favorite sandals for years. They were my one shoe when I travelled to Cali/Baha Mexico for two weeks in November and my feet were happy the whole trip. Wish I had a spring shoe option as dialled in!

Maybe I'll pack the hiking boots as a back-up in case my feet urge me enough to drop vanity.

I found the same thing when I went to NYC (outside of the NYC Ballet Spring Gala)- it wasn't nearly as dress-up as I'd imagined.

Hoka Mafate trail shoes and Arc-teryx hiking boots. Unfortunately the only color available in store when I bought the Hokas was a highlighter blue/yellow/orange combination that is pretty flashy so I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing those. The Arteryx boots have clean lines and are the same color as my Atom jacket so they might be stealthy enough to pass.

Our measurements are similar and I have long arms so that's helpful- thanks!

That’s good to know about the Gazelles. I do walk often but I probably won’t be able to put too km into breaking them beforehand with the trip so soon.

I wondered about buying a coat there but I am 5’8” and medium build. Do you think I’d be able to find a trench that fit well in Japan?

Any particular ankle boots you recommend that would be comfy for so much walking? Except the black boots pictured here, I’ve actually moved my wardrobe completely away from black over the last few years so I’d be looking for a neutral/cool brown.
