Options for Buying Japanese Denim

[watchman]

denim bar isn't in LA, it's in VA. Big difference

[brostymie]

Hey tweedlesinpink, I suppose you are refering to vPost. How much is the charges for thta pair of jeans from vPost?

[Tisswat]

one wash = ワンウォッシュ

on their website, Studio d'Artisan use sanforize (サンフォライズ)

i'm pretty sure all SD-103 are sanforize (at least according to the Studio d'Artisan website). maybe a second opinion would be better as i'm not 100% sure...

Thanks, Kasper.

I decided to put a few links to online listings of one-wash SD-103s in my email and have her order from one of those stores. Hope this works out.

sd-10x and 30x series are NOT sanforized. the sd-20x series is.

i'm going to do a shout-out for another forum member who's looking for someone who can buy a pair of eternals on his behalf and ship them to him - 2000db or anyone else, you got your buying services up yet?

[timpoblete]

In the other SF, 2000db has posted that he's currently able to do the service (although he's not going to be in Japan until mid-October), and that he's taking orders. You should probably pm him.

[tweeds]

[2000dB]

Yup, I'm able to take online orders. See the thread in my signature.

[tweeds]

[syzygy]

Anyone know the status on Hinoya?

they ship to the US with a no return policy. they also replied to my fluent Japanese in english hah not sure why

[coleslawyum]

Thank you, guys. I was a bit confused, because some posts had Hinoya on the list and some didn't. Just making sure...

This is really good thread, l have been trying to figure out how to order from Rakuten for ages. So l followed the sugar Rag instructions to set up an account and placed orders with a few shops. However all of them cancelled my orders, as they dont deliver outside of Japan. I did find a few shops that state they do deliver worlwide, but they just stock brands that can easily be found on US and European websites for virtually the same price. In the end l decided to use Celga which so far has gone pretty well.

The following Rakuten shops dont deliver outside of Japan.

ACCEL-SPUNKY

ＭＡＧＡＺＩＮＥＳ

MIDAS

SILVER BULLET

I did find a Japanese shop / website that does deliver worlwide, although not on Rakuten. Favor clothing, they guy that owns the place speaks excellent English, was really quick in emailing me back, provided great customer service and marked my package as a gift and declared a low value. His site is www.favorclothing.com

Hope this info is useful.

[kiya]

We here at Self Edge mostly have japanese brands and we ship worldwide, for free.

edit by TIP: Thanks to Pauken4 for starting this whole thing and helping everyone order direct from rakuten shops.

The following Rakuten sellers will not ship outside of Japan:

shooting gallery

bears

FRISBEE

ACCEL-SPUNKY

ＭＡＧＡＺＩＮＥＳ

MIDAS

SILVER BULLET

Not sure if anyone cares at this point, but Blue Beat can be added to the list of shops that will not ship outside of Japan.

[Pauken4]

I have made two recent purchases from C point through Rakuten.

4 clicks and on the way to my door! Nothing could be easier, or less expensive, other than buying it Japan myself.

you mean nothing could be more expensive than buying jeans from japan...damn all the japanese jeans, they break my bank everytime i buy.

[Superstar]

you mean nothing could be more expensive than buying jeans from japan...damn all the japanese jeans, they break my bank everytime i buy.

and you mean the combination of expensive jeans and easy availability breaks your bank..

[Pauken4]

It already kills me to spend $200 on a pair of jeans, and then to spend extra on a commission, if not necessary, makes it hurt just too much.

[skcusdog]

Hi fellas..... need some help here.......

just ordered a pair of jeans off Bear's (Rakuten) and had an email reply which is written in Jap........... tried using the google translator and it is seriously screwed.......... so can someone be nice/sweet and help me to decipher the email? Thanks in advance!

Pauken, check your PM

[khaltire]

Did anyone figure out if CPoint will ship international? They are the only ones with SD-001s and SD-101s in my size

[Dick Danger]

Just place an order and see what happens, if they don't they'll send you an email saying they don't, your card won't charged.

[tec761]

does anyone know what happens If i place a rakuten order for Samurais now? i really want a pair but i am worried...

[khaltire]

Dick, Im planning on doing it after I sell some things.. cause I actually cant afford it ATM, I have to use the money I get from those things that I sell to pay for it.. so I dont want the order to go through when I dont have the money
