Using a vintage chain stitch sewing machine, it takes a very long time for a craftsman to finish one by hand from morning to night. If the sewing machine does not enter the sewing machine, it is necessary to disassemble the dogi once, sew the patch, and then re-sew again. We have prepared several sizes A1 and A2. It will be exhibited and sold at an exhibition at Daikanyama Ashiya Shoten. Please take a look at the skill of a craftsman called a chain stitch magician group. Planned sales price 298,000 yen.* (via Google Translate) Designed by [Angelo Baque](https://www.instagram.com/angelobaque/) and hand-stitched by [Chain Gang L.A.](https://www.chaingang-la.com/), this exclusive batch was made in the U.S.A. and limited to five pieces. It is one of the rarest Shoyorolls in existence. ## Photos {% tabs %} {% tab title="Official" %} ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_1.jpg) ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_2.jpg) {% endtab %} {% tab title="User-Submitted" %} ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_white_user_1.jpg) ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_white_user_2.jpg) ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_white_user_3.jpg) ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_white_user_4.jpg) ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_white_user_5.jpg) ![Shoyoroll Chain Gang / Hold My Own](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_white_user_6.jpg) {% endtab %} {% tab title="Other Chain Gang Gis" %} ![Shoyoroll x Chain Gang custom kimono](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_other_1.jpg) ![Shoyoroll x Chain Gang custom kimono](https://res.cloudinary.com/gi-lol/image/upload/v1570803032/shoyoroll/chain-gang/syr_chain_gang_other_2.jpg) {% endtab %} {% endtabs %} ## References [Shoyoroll Facebook Japan (Announcement)](https://www.facebook.com/shoyorolljapan/posts/572564389612749)\ [chaingang\_la Instagram (Front Photo)](https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ-7VJLAPVy/)\ [chaingang\_la Instagram (Back Photo)](/shoyoroll/shoyoroll-specials/shoyoroll-aoj-x-shoyoroll-2.0.md)\ [T-Site Event Page](https://web.archive.org/web/20190312010411/http://real.tsite.jp/daikanyama/event/2016/09/rebels-against-the-mainstream-exhibition-by-shoyoroll.html)\ [MMA Journal (Japanese Language Article)](http://www.mmajournal.net/topics/shoyorollrebels-against-the-mainstreamexhibition/)\ [On Your Mark Magazine (Japanese Language Article)](http://mag.onyourmark.jp/2016/09/shoyoroll-2/97262)\ [Shoyoroll Facebook (Auction)](https://www.facebook.com/shoyorollbrand/photos/a.169826413040528/1303082249714933/)\ [angelobaque Instagram (Auction)](https://www.instagram.com/p/BODN2uggEI0/) ## Similar and Related Gis --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
