If you missed last week's sampling of menswear and fashions, you can find it here.

Again, both of the stores we looked at this week came to us highly recommended by the discerning readers of SLI - and we thank you for your suggestions! We're still looking for places to review, so if you have a favorite men's store which has clothing, accessories, shoes, skins, hair, gadgets, or anything else you can think of, let us know. If our test audience buys something, we'll write it up the store here.

Several little holes in the wall: the main store in Kabuki, and the subsidiary stores in Kanda and Enterprise, comprise pretty much the entirety of Techpanty (except for a couple kiosks you might accidentally stumble across in your travels, but aren't really locatable by other means); what's more, it is cuddled up with ranges from several other stores at each location. The range is small, and there are few products; however, what is represented is definitely tantalizing to those whose tastes extend to mecha and technical-looking clothing and accessories.

The talent and skill behind the crafting aspects of Techpanty is Wewi Yin, who has thrown herself headlong into the field of the small and complex, as regards prim-work. Each of her pieces is intricate and fits together beautifully; the images below simply cannot do justice to the hinged nose-piece on the goggles I bought from her, nor the work on the Metal Shoes. Her prices are better than competitive, especially considering the high quality of her goods - virtually everything feels like a bargain. The store itself is nothing exciting, but trust me, you won't be looking at the store; you'll be looking at the products.
