DON'T (Nagoya/Aichi)

A store like a treasure trove, specializing in deadstock for 48 years

The owner, Mitsuhiro Ito, is a legend in the Nagoya vintage clothing world. The clothes and accessories he selects with his discerning eye are mostly deadstock items from the 1930s to 1960s, ranging from American casual to workwear and dresses, all kept in their original condition.

"Denim and sweatshirts are popular, but there are also many other great items, such as jackets and slacks worn by gentlemen and chinos for working people. Rather than buying clothes as an investment, I want people to try them on, think carefully, and simply enjoy shopping." They also have a brand inspired by vintage clothing, Cushman. As Ito is involved in the production, the quality is guaranteed.
