It was Brad who told me about these vintage, indigo-dyed, noragi-style Kendo Jackets from Kiriko, and I’m still trying to find a way to repay him. I sent him a fruit basket. I changed my son’s middle name from “Joseph” to “Bennett.” But I still feel like I need to do more to properly thank him for making me aware of these one-of-a-kind, traditional Japanese beauts, in all of their faded, history-rich glory. Maybe if I got a neck tattoo of his name in script? Do you guys think Brad would like that?
