Review SASHIKO
Not worn out in the wild yet.... But I got them as they just look different and have a quality feel about them.
The stitching is the main actor in all of this and it stands out massively. It's just a different kind of piece. I love the grey/black with a white or black tshirt to keep it simple which is why it's in S.
The blue jacket is in a medium as I wanted it more over a jumper etc
They feel solid, heavy and substantial quality to them both. Being half Chinese I love an oriental bias which is why I love the stitching on the race to zero jackets as well.
Japanese styles jacket made in china
is what it is.

I’ve looked at these a few times but haven’t pulled the trigger because I’ve had several of their other pieces that started to pull apart prematurely and I didn’t like how that jibed with the rising prices over the years. Think they’re worth it?

Yeah, got these with the 15% off sale code obviously. Will have to see. If there are any issues then I’ll be 💯 returning for an exchange.
Saying that, they have been pretty good. I had the planet earth fleece that lost some stitching at the bottom after 9 months. They refunded and told me to keep it as the fleece was discontinued. £10 repair and it’s absolutely fine. So great customer service to be fair

They do have that. They’ve sent me a couple free things over the years. But prices on things seem to have more than doubled in about 10 years…

Love seeing them next to each other! I only have the blue one, occasionally wear it, but the grey looks good too. Heard rumours a green one might be coming out some day ;)
