I used to think this way until I actually owned several Japanese brands that were underwhelming. I think it depends on the specific garment you’re buying/wearing and how much you’re abusing that item of clothing. Some Japanese brands are worse than others but social media hype keeps them alive. I tend to give jeans a pass because those will disintegrate over time regardless.

I’m a huge fan of Darn Tough for the quality but also their rock solid guarantee. I also like Smartwool. The only brand I don’t get is Anonymousism. Quite possibly the worst brand ever. I had two pairs that I bought 8 yrs ago and those got holes in them within 6 months. For a Japanese brand their quality sucks
