Cgonna be real with you, if I saw a white dude in a noragi I'd be thinking about john mayer 2016 (derogatory)
Wjapanese guy wearing native american beaded moccasins is pretty wack too
Wi don’t think there’s any way for a white guy in san diego to not look corny wearing a noragi
GHm this high key just looks like a short sleeve shirt without any closure. Pattern doesn’t even seem particularly Japanese to me
GThat being said, there are many many clothes out there that you could wear that don’t make you feel culturally insensitive so I’d just recommend wearing those instead lol
NMaybe what I have isn’t a noragi in the first place but absolutely agree
NThat’s true and I don’t think I would get more but I was thinking this would be absolutely perfect for summer. Definitely thinking about removing it from my collection though after some post-purchase consideration.
SThis looks fine
EI also think this looks fine, and doesn’t even really read as a noragi because it doesn’t have a tie closure or a uniquely Japanese pattern. I’ve never quite gotten the hate about white guys wearing noragis, though. Everyone steals from everyone. There would never have been a market for American denim in Japan if that wasn’t true.
Shttps://universalworks.co.uk/products/universal-works-kyoto-jacket-in-black-twill btw what do you think about these and what are these called with a belt off center?
S(or are they the same as Noragis? its hard to tell cuz all Noragi results on google seems to be open/closed in the centre, never off center)
RI agree this particular piece doesn't read as a noragi and seems fine. The second part of your comment is really out of touch not gonna lie
EOut of touch with who? I’m not offended when Japanese people dress like 19th century American cowboys and prospectors. And to my knowledge, most Japanese people are not actually offended by the very small handful of white American guys wearing noragis
Cmy problem with white guy noragi has v little to do with cultural appreciation vs appropriation, it's that 90% of the time it's the most mid fit in the world with a noragi on top because thing, japan
RJapanese companies reproducing vintage Americana is not the same as a white guy wearing a traditional Japanese garment in a country with a history of anti asian racism.
Calso the second part of your statement is out of touch because historically "everyone steals from everyone" is not true and fully ignores systemic violence
RI do think this is getting off topic, op's question has been answered
SI dont feel like my followup question(s) were answered
AAre u op
SIm not, but I think it should be fine without making my own thread
RThe kyotos are kinda a grey area. You could try searching for wrap front cardigans. I'm gonna second carrion's advice here - if you don't know how to style it don't get it, and that goes for everything.
Sany other opinions?
EI think the kyoto is close enough to a noragi that if you’re the kind of person who sanctimoniously declares that wearing a noragi “ignores systemic violence” even though the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, you probably shouldn’t buy one
RFor fucks sake
Pwhat are you talking about dawg 
RI'm Chinese, you wanna talk about Japanese violence? You're really not getting it lol
AI think if you need to justify wearing a garment by saying ‘the japanese bombed pearl harbor’ that should tell you a lot about whether you should be wearing it or not lmfao
Panyways this is what people look like wearing a noragi so don’t do it
APutting on my parliament wig to go out tonight because the british did the Boston masacre
EI wouldn’t even wear one! I agree they usually look goofy. I just take exception to the idea that I cant wear one and see a lot of hypocrisy in the “appropriation” argument
Pif you’re a white guy wearing one it is appropriation sorry dawg
AWhite people don’t get to wear everything and that’s perfectly fine
RBased on your comments you have no idea what appropriation is, so good thing you wouldn't wear one
AWhy the fuck does me typing :cap bring up "man in chinese cap" only
P
Slmao you fucking Americans and culture, I say celebrate your own culture and celebrate others culture, its not rocket science. I dont shit myself if I see an Asian wearing a historically inaccurate Viking helmet with horns
RRespectfully, where are you from?
CThis thread rocks
Cpeople really need to remember asian ≠ asian americans
SSwedish speaking Finland
P
P^this whole thread
Pleast racist finn
RInteresting what comes up when you Google racism in Finland https://yle.fi/a/3-10531670
News
Compared to 11 other European countries, Finnish residents with African backgrounds experience the most racism, according to a new EU report.
BIf you’re going to make bold statements about historical violence you should think them through fully so you don’t look like a dumbass
BYou didn’t read people’s comments well and it shows quite clearly
EIt was originally going to be a Rape of Nanjing reference but I thought that would be a bit much. Anyways, most of the world has “appropriated” Western clothing, if a few white software engineers want to wear noragis it shouldn’t trigger people
BRead your comment back to yourself fully before you press send egerz, for your own good
PWHAT!!!!
