| Hits and misses |

So much confusion. XLarge Japan is completely capable of getting it right. But when they get it wrong, it's really wrong. Their most recent collection is pretty sparse on the ladies' wear, and while it never strays too far from classic streetwear cuts (boxy tees, hoodies, jeans) some of the graphics are iffy.
Some of the collection is just right; the jeans look like nice cuts, the green hoodie/jacket is adorable, the girls' XLarge logo tee is rad, happy happy checkered shirts and the gorilla tee are just fine. But the misses are big ones (I'm looking at you images 2, 6, 7 and 10) with the graphics seeming a little outdated.
They seem to make pretty much everything – from caps to sweatbands, key-rings, mugs and watches. Strangely, the lookbook was lacking some of the really awesome items in the collection, which can be seen at their website.
See the full itemised collection at xlarge.jp where they also have blogs based from each XLarge shop in Japan.
