For gentlemen, don’t worry, Gedebage also offer you jackets, shirts, and jeans. For your messy style you can find second-hand leather jackets. There are also jackets for bikers in Gedebage. Gede Bage is a kind of traditional market usually called 'Pasar Induk Gede Bage'. It doesn’t make buyers feel comfort. But the most interesting about Gedebage is this place offers you very low price for almost every stuff.




Distro – Distrubution Store – exists in Bandung since 1997 when Indonesia was in monetary crisis. In the beginning of 1997, distro became a choice for many people to buy daily clothes. Now, distro become more popular, and reach the international market. In distro you can find many T-shirt with unique printed design. Every Distro usually has their own logo, to make differences to other distro. For example, in Oink, a distro placed in Jl. Banda, using pig for its logo. In distro, not only printed T-shirt you can find, there are also unique stuffs. In Oink, you can find skate boards, hats, and bags. Distro doesn’t offer you stuffs in low price as Gedebage but it provides comfortable spot. For your info, there are so many distros around Jalan Trunojoyo.
