Australians where do you buy your jeans online?

[illest.]

I have been interested in raw denim for years now but I can't find many stores locally that sell a wide variety of quality japanese denim, any help would be appreciated. The only place here is RHD for me in Adelaide.

[jbanger]

rhd for mine, although selfedge is popular but if i'm dropping $300+ on denim then i'd rather try it on first

[adrianghaust]

I'm not from Australia but I'm pretty sure iNSEAM is. They have Unbranded, Iron Heart, and Indigo Skin.

[conqueror]

what is wrong with rhd? flathead, samurai, momotaro, real japan blue, tellason, sugar cane - basically the only top-tier label they don't carry is iron heart. its incredible that such a store in australia even exists, and its in adelaide of all places. if they really don't have what you want, just order from self edge or big. saying that, rhd is one of the few stores in the country that i will always try and support.

Corlection in Sydney sells Strike Gold, Pure Blue Japan, Momotaro, Japan Blue, Levi's. Half-Sleeve in Sydney sells Imperial.

That's about all i know of.

What about in Melbourne ? Any Japanese jeans ? Address & contact ?

[illest.]

no idea man, never been to victoria personally.

[devilva]

Aussie pride... unfortunately in Melbourne theres basically nothing decent in the city at all. There might be nudies in myer/david jones but Japanese denim.... fargetabouteeet. I even had to buy my imperials (aussie brand) from selfedge (USA) lol. They were avaliable from alloftheabove in Fitzroy but no longer.. for Japanese denim I just use Sutocorp...

yeah agreed, was thinking about using rakuten.

[conqueror]

even though i am not into them, imperials amount of stockists within the country is abysmal.

No idea where you can find Japanese jeans, but you can find other stuff like n&f, dior, left field, lvc, edwin, indigofera in around Melbourne.

yerppp for an Australian brand it sure is rare to find in Australia.....

[illest.]

bump, come on aussies this is a thread where all Australians can find some useful information on rare quality denim available to them

[manboobies]

To be honest, I just measure and measure and double check, then end up buying here or on style forum.

I got my last pair of jeans from Mr. Imperial himself, and a pair of 45rpms when I was in Japan, but otherwise it's research research and hope!

[okisan]

illest - sorry dude but your local options are what they are, and no amount of aussies on this forum is gonna change that. i don't like it either but that's the way it is unless you open your own store.

i hear ya man, f******lol!

[Alex Alexander]

rhd is the only place i would buy jeans, they have a online store up now

[indigofade]

It's been so long now since I've last bought a pair of jeans online but most of them are from BiG and SelfEdge (they accept returns for unaltered denim). The exchange rate is favourable for us now as well.

Off the top of my head:

-Aoi-T at QV was having Somet sale quite a number of months back

(Not sure if they were getting rid of stock and never restocking again)

-Dakota501: Evisu, LVC, PRPS

-Incu: APC

Edwins are everywhere

[Stephen Theodore]

where can i find some japanese denim such as flat head, samurai, momotaro and others in melbourne?

[devilva]

dakota 501 dont have evisu any more. I bought my prps ramblers from 'thatstore' in Melbourne central, they have raw denim but not sure what brands.

[okisan]

pretty sure that store have closed down - at least in sydney they're all gone.

[atticus]

Anyone been to Captain's of Industry? They have a tailor and a leather atelier there.

spoke to the tailor, was telling me that he will be making bespoke jeans in a few months time.

even showed me his samples of Jap denim.

Any thoughts?

[xdrift]

THANKS XDRIFT !! so far most of the list are outdated. ever since i arrived here, i've done a hunt a few weeks back around Melbourne and this is what i got;

1) Inca, a store at QV Melbourne stocks A.P.Cs, Lees, Levis. All raw.

2) Up There Store, 15 McKillop St. at Lt. Collin st, the sides of Elizabeth St. Not a lot of choice when i went there. They only got Norse Project and some boots.

3) Dakota501 at Chapel St. stock some levis as well iinm,

Checked the japanese tshirt shop at QV, asked the guy over there and he said they did stock some raw japanese denim, but not anymore. He then said that they will stock some pairs during the next season, but not sure on what brands.

[camdiamond]

Retail stores such as 'That Store' couldn't survive with such a vast range of denim, as most of the population are after style based denim or pre-washed. The majority of denim buyers in Australia won't pay over $200 for a pair with 50% of that market wanting them closer to $99.

So when bringing in denim from Japan with a RRP of over $300 you are not going to find many buyers.

You will find brands like Levis, PRPS & Nudie in GP, but I doubt they will keep stocking high numbers of raw.

We might see some more brands coming up soon but to keep at a cheap price point you wont be seeing Turkish or Japanese denim of a high quality.

If in melbourne your best bet is online for Japanese based brands, and if you are after APC, or Levis support Incu and buy from there.

According to the UES website, CoRLection Store in Sydney carries UES jeans, shirts and caps

[jbanger]

RHD as mentioned in earlier posts wins hands down

[saintkeat]

Imperials aren't available in Australia anymore it seems. Australians have to get them online.

Inseam carries raw that's popular with locals. As raw picks up in trending Australia, I'm sure such stores will stock more.
