I am looking for clothes. I want to pick up some random english shirts and some skirts and dresses.
I have been to a thrift store on 81 and to America Town (Jusco, Americaya, and the little mall shops around there).
Where else is great shopping?

I like buying at san a cause they have 3L to 5L. I dont like gate 2 too much but for the hats. Is there others places for big boys to shop?

JUSCO has some clothes in their mens section that go up to 4 or 5XL. I usually buy my slacks from JUSCO, because there is nowhere else to go unless I want a tailor to make them:-|
Shoes are what I need and am constantly on the look out for.....:(

I was just about to say...
WHERE CAN I GET SIZE 13 SHOES! :cursing:
I always have to wear the same shoes for a year or two until I get a chance to make it out to Hawaii again. And I still have trouble buying shoes even in Hawaii (or anywhere in the states for that matter). I'll find a pair of shoes I like and it'll be sizes 8-11 only, then another pair, same thing, then another, then another, and then I finally get to the point where I'm just looking for anything size 12 or above and will find only the crap that nobody wants to buy...
I hate my feet...

Kutsunohikari Catalog Site (http://www.kutsunohikari.co.jp/shop/english/e-catalogsite/index.aspx)

But for the prices they charge it damn well better be free shipping, they are not cheap, but have a decent selection available :D
They have 388 different styles of shoes and sandals in size 13US.

You know what they say about guys with big feet!
I guess I probably should just start ordering my clothes off the net. I just like to see them and hold them in my hands before making a purchase...

No wonder it's free shipping! They charge double for their shoes! (At least vans and adidas). Thanks though. I'll use this if I can't find something else. I'm gonna see if I can get the Vans website to ship to Japan.

Is there anywhere on island besides AAFES exchanges to buy maternity clothes that won't double as fat clothes when the whole parasite thing is done?

I had a question about washing clothes?
In english it tells you warm or cold, inside out or dark colors, on clothes I buy from here it just has signs. How do you know to wash cold or with warm water?

Can you scan them in here so we can take a look at them?

I think the beaker with the x means no chemicals or dry cleaning
The iron means wrinkle free (I believe)
Maybe the shirt on a hook means to Air dry?
The box with the 40 has me a little confused though.
Most everything can be washed in cold water, then hung up to dry though.

I looked at other shirts and there's also a box with 30. So I'm thinking 30 is cold 40 warm maybe.

I was thinking along the lines of 30% cotton or something. I don't have anything here with me right now to compare it to.

Try these links dude:
http://www.laundry-and-dishwasher-info.com/Wash-Care-Labels-a-Quick-Guide.html
http://cache.lionbrand.com/yarnCare.html
Box with 40 - probably wash in 40 degree Celcius water (104 degrees fahrenheit)
beaker with x - probably means no chlorine bleach
iron - probably iron ok (if it's not dryer safe probably use the lowest iron heat setting)
circle with line covered with x - probably no clothes dryers
shirt on hook - probably hang to dry (drip dry)
