(capsule) – Yuketen

On the topic of Capsule NYC, Made In America, Why Japan Is Awesome, Yuketen posted on January 22nd, 2010 - 2 Comments

Another favorite of (capsule) for me was Yuketen.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with brand Yuketen was founded by Yuki Matsuda (above) who used to work in a “Made In The USA” shop in Japan. He had always admired hand sewn moccasins and immigrated to the US to do so. With an unbelievable commitment to quality. Yuketen’s shoes are perhaps the finest hand sewn shoes on the planet. Unfortunately quality comes with a price. Your average Yuketen is over 3 hundo. Though they do go on sale and yes exist on eBay.

      Those penny loafers give me a boner. Did I just say that out loud?
