you ought to start a proxy service if things are that cheaper in HK.
im sure you will have a very personal understanding of "mark ups", and also a bit on consumer mentality as well.

here is a store in japan with a good range on chimala products over all. they accept paypal and ship internationally, if you are willing to pay the japanese prices.

saw the "Straight Leg Brown Clay Selvage 5-Pocket Jeans" today at RL flagship store in Tokyo today, and this is definitely the best piece of the denim collection. i would have jumped on them if the retail werent twice the price of the HTC. 30~50% mark up is understandable, but doubling the money is just ridiculous.
they also had some cords there, any plans for getting those in?

wow, this gig just destroys people. curious--how many customers were you dealing with at one at the peak of your service?
i was getting like 20 emails a day, and i sent about 200 packages out this month. its definitely a full time job.

I have made a post few weeks back mentioning I'm putting a halt to the service. I don't plan on taking orders for the next two months, so contact other members who are offering their services if you want something from Japan. I will post here when I'm ready to do this again.

somet makes black selvedge models too. stitching is all white, which may be a bit of turn off for some. the fit is awesome on these. slightly slim straight leg that will never get old. PBJ XX-005 is another good choice. being pretty slim the fit isnt for everybody. good deal for the price these are asking. BiG stocks them both.

いつもお世話になっております。2ND(セカンド)の井瀬です。
今回は残念ながらカード決済が不可能なようです。
もし今なら大丈夫な場合は再度ご注文をお手数ですがよろしくお願いします。
それでは失礼します。
"it seems we can't file a credit payment with your card. please place another order if you are sure the card has enough balance to handle the order."

Bumping up an old thread. I'm considering getting one of their levis 3rd-type denim jackets with two front pockets. Any idea on the quality of the jacket, or how the fit/sizing run? I found them at some online store which never respond to questions. Any input is appreciated!
here is a picture of the jacket I pulled up for reference.

it reads
"intangible cultural heritage of Tokushima prefecture, awa-shoai zome. 19onces."
Awa is a city in Tokushima famous for it's own method of natural indigo dyes, which had reached it's status as one fo the best dyes in Japan during the Edo period. I think it is one of the national arts supported by the country.

lol looks like the hordes of 2000db customers are starting to migrate to parachutes. Are we able to make parachutes sick like we did to 2000db from the floods of orders? Only time will tell...
hahaha. i havent noticed much increase in number of orders coming in, but i never imagined the market to be this big...i have enough to purchase 8 roundtrips to NYC from tokyo. and its about time i get a pair of denim for myself too. en route to those pbj blacks!

i may slow this down to a halt for a few weeks soon. i do have other commitments in my personal life, and im currently going through a recruiting process which i really should focus on. i may still take few orders each week but please understand that i may be out of touch from time to time. all of those who placed your orders, i will process the orders and respond in the same timely manner that i have always been.
i am planing to get this thing going again once things have settled down for me. will definitely let you all know when im ready.

just ask the store for one i guess. there isnt much to the actual catalogue really. mine got thrown away in the garbage last week by mistake!really? i listed to a membership card which requires you to drop a grant a year to recievethe damn thing.

its like amazon.
yeah, the process of paying for your item is like that between amazon and retailers associated with them. you pay to rakuten, rakuten pays to the retailers. the auction, though, works like ebay.

flathead has announced that they will be making changes to their backpocket stitiching and leather tags. the red tab.will most likely no longer be seen on the new design. stocks that are left at stores now are all there will be for the pairs with original designs, so if you are interested get your orders in soon.

looks like things are starting to take effect in japan too.
klax-on stated their next shipment of flatheads will be without the details concerned with the lawsuit.

cool. i'll probably just leave them alone for the time being, and then see what the 45rpm people have to say when i bring in the jeans in april. hopefully when i go i can get my hands on a pair of these, too:http://www.45rpm.jp/shop/goods/goods.aspx?goods=5006900
i'm a little nervous because they haven't restocked the online shop for quite a while...
from what i have seen, their online stores have fairly small stock and that doesnt necessarily reflect what the actualy stores have. i saw those fairly often around here when i went to a couple of 45rpms at the beginning of the year.

no minimum order, as im willing to get stuffs such as cds and dvds. honestly i would prefer large orders, i do this on first come first served basis.
and i try to respond to people everyday, at least within two days being the latest.
