American workwear has no doubt had a resurgence in popularity lately. Much of that popularity has to do with Japanese designers helping reinterpret and repackage classic Americana-think Daike Suzuki and Engineered Garments.
In a refreshing take, Shigoto Fashion brings us their version of classic Japanese workwear. Inspired by the centuries old workwear of Japanese construction workers, Shigoto has sourced quality hand woven fabrics to create their wares. Made in Okyama, Japan.
The split-toe Matsuri Tabi shoes are my favorite offering from Shigoto. In a sea of moccasins and Red Wing boots, these would be a nice alternative. I've read articles about how splitting the toe is actually more comfortable for long periods-the thought being the foot is naturally split along the toe. I would love to see how these shoes fit and perform.

If you actually acquire those Tabi shoes, I'll demand a picture.
I second wrennybird! Those boots kick ass- and I have some studs that really like the look of them too (that is, if you don't use them all on a gray suit ;)
ps- you're post is mentioned on the Shigoto home page! Congrats!
Those Tobi pants would make me look like 3 ft tall, but they look so comfortable!
