Jinbei Men
Buying a yukata or jinbei for a man in Tokyo?
I went out to buy a yukata at a store in Tokyo (being female), and when I asked if they had any yukata for men (my fiancee), they said no and the woman there said men are more likely to wear ‘jinbei’ instead of yukata. I don’t know if this is true or not, but in any case, she could not redirect us to another place where they’d sell yukata or jinbei for men.
Could anyone explain a bit more about men’s wear during the summer period for festivities and can you please direct me to any place in Tokyo where I could buy a yukata or jinbei for men for a modest price? I live near Shibuya, but I can travel a bit further for it too.
yukata or jinbei is just a matter of preference but it’s true men don’t wear these things as much as women, and also younger men are not so used to wearing kimono which is like wearing a long skirt so for some men it might be more comfortable to wear jinbei which is like a short kimono + pants style. for elder men jinbei was like pajamas but now it’s also ok to wear it outside. as far as i can see jinbei is much more popular than yukata for men.
for not so expensive ones i think you can find them in Loft

(and maybe Tokyu Hands? and Marui?)
