Tokyo 08 / Part 1 : Selector's Life

The Tokyo 08 logs will be brief ongoing editions of my recent trip out in Tokyo this past January. I want to set things off with Selector's Life Cafe located in the Shibuya district of Tokyo. Selector's Life is a well-rounded boutique with products ranging from exclusive apparel, accessories, & audio gadgets for all you DJ's. Ironically the one fitted cap picked up here was a great denim cap with NY on the front. Produced exclusively through Selector, this fitted is made with high raw denim & large NY in raised embroidery. The backside features a detail outline graphic of the SL logo. Selectors showed me mad love & I want to definitely BIG them up! Check back for more exclusive headwear from SL. Selector's Life located 4-32-5 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo. Check these dudes out @ www.selectors-life.com.
