I have seen a few stores (I know of one particular Anime one) carrying them in Tokyotown in L.A. too; mind you they were f'ing expensive. I think $120 for the jacket/pants, which seemed to be alot for the quality. Just look online, I am sure you can find alot on there.

For instance (friggin' expensive) : http://japan-cc.com/gakusei.htm

Also, I know it may seem like a longshot, but try calling a few military surpluses; I know of a couple in L.A. that carry obscure school/work uniforms.......

I would recommend pm'ing xcoldricex and asking if he can get you one as he is already in Japan. I can guarantee it will save you money that way, and he is extremely helpful....

100-170 doesn't seem so much for a whole suit...

[lestat]

100-170 is pretty f*cking cheap for something like that...

if you got the money... http://www.shanghaitang.com/shanghaitang/product.jsp?pos=9&catID=2&subcatID=4 its $545... pretty comfortable...

ShanghaiTang got some linen versions of the jacket for the summer...

Why would a chinese company got a jacket like that? because that jacket style is originally chinese... duhhh

Wikipedia:

Quote: The Gakuran is derived from Prussian army uniforms. Such clothing are also worn by school children in South Korea and pre-1949 China.

Nice try though........

And before you say anything, this sentence means they are worn in China and Korea as well as Japan, but were originally developed in Prussia...........

Prussia is eurotrash.
