In this commentary, the speaker evaluates the quality of fashion brands Kapital and Issey Miyake by examining the factories they use. Kapital partners with Kojima Senshoku for its mud‑dyeing processes—the same factory Visvim uses—resulting in exceptionally high quality for those items. However, some Kapital products, such as foam trucker hats made in China, are noted as cheap, leading the speaker to place Kapital between S‑tier and A‑tier overall. Issey Miyake’s production is largely Japanese, with printing done at Maida Senmo and cutting/sewing spread across various Japanese factories. The speaker notes that quality varies by line: pleated garments are generally good, while the mainline pieces are the best, though some variability remains.
