Options for Buying Japanese Denim

[synthi]

. . and a few more:

As the final couple of pics may attest, the denim is very coarse, slubby & hairy. It actually feels very akin to sandpaper! The denim is loosely woven - More-net warned me that they would shrink 3" in the waist and it seems SD took this into account as my W30 pair measures bang on 33" raw. I really like them! Ringring - if you're reading this, and if I've remembered correctly that it was you who mentioned the D-1237's - thanks a bunch

*edit* and a big thanks to Pauken4 for the suggestion to try to order solo - cheers my man!

Yes, I flagged up the D-1237s, but on another message board

Glad you like them. Great pair of jeans.

[digital_denim]

That's the funniest thing I've seen. Lost in translation for sure.

Thanks for adding to the list!

What was the cost breakdown for those?

[synthi]

^ Not sure, not been billed yet :S

[Pauken4]

On my Sugar Canes, I didn't get billed for a couple of weeks after my do it yourself purchase..

I paid price, tax 5%, shipping (in my case Y1750), and the VISA conversion fee which was 2% ( $4-5)

[digital_denim]

Yes billing is delayed on these purchases. But I did get a good exchange rate of 114 yen to USD when i made a purchase. Better than the 105 that celga had.

[greentea]

yaeh me too when i orderd my samurais, i guess its the way they do things, so make sure you have enough credit in your CC lol.

If anyones looking for Skulls, I just ordered some from fabfour. I know a lot of people want to see them, so I'll post them when I get them. BTW, I got the 5010XX 6 x 6 raw

[nemoulette]

Hello,

In the near future, I'm probably buying the Samurai 5000. Now, I am a true W32, what size should I be getting? Thank you.

[jubei]

Has anyone here ordered straight from Samurai yet? I've looked through the thread and I didn't really see anything about how to order from them, exactly...

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

Should be getting them tomorrow... post has been messing up with the delivery :\

[TheGrapist]

And please let us know if you paid customs.

That goes for everyone, I'm itching to see if it's worth the hassel over just going to BiG.

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

No customs, they marked the price down and marked it as a gift

[greentea]

do they know that before hand,or you have to specify that to them?

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

Well, I asked them to, but it sounded like they were already going to do it.

[greentea]

cool, i like some of thier other stuff also,

[Mr Calvin Oscar]

I got them... theyre so tight... I can't button the top 2 buttons. Will they stretch or do I have to sell?

[vivaloschet]

Has anybody tried Hinoya???? They seem to have the largest selection of repro type stuff. I I tried ordering from Shooting Gallery and was told they only ship within Japan. I went through this thread and made a list of all the Rakuten and other sellers that will ship outside of Japan:

Rakuten:

rebirth

Super-Rag

Earth Market

Vari-shop

More-net

2nd

non-Rakuten:

Guitarwolf.shop-pro.jp

Mil-mil.net

busters-boogie.com

The following Rakuten sellers will not ship outside of Japan:

shooting gallery

bears

Maybe somebody could move this to the top? Anyway, it would be great if we could make this list more comprehensive

if you were to order from hinoya, it would probably be the end all of ordering from japan as they have almost everything you'd want

[horriblyjollyjinx]

2nd ships outside of japan too

[nemoulette]

horriblyjollyjinx is a god, that's all!

Just ordered a pair of Samurai 5000s and I CANNOT wait.

[dnarnya]

[digital_denim]
