According to Currents, the store where I bought Chris the following sweatshirt, they don’t make it anymore.

Every time, we go to some San Francisco culture event, Chris wears his birthday present. I had swooped into Currents at the last minute, looking for the present. Unfortunately, the dog sweatshirt was not in the right size. But the cat was. Even though it was rather pricey, I bought it. I liked that there was never a pretentious air in the store unlike the other staples along the Valencia corridor.

And Chris loved it. At least once an hour, someone would come up to him and say, “I love your shirt!” And he would put on his hood to show the ears. Then turn around to show his wiggling tail.

When we went into Currents again, he talked to the owner. They don’t make it anymore, he said of the Japanese store.

One of a kind now. The only one.
