Anyone in the US order directly from the SDA Japan website?  If so, what are the shipping/tax/tariff details?  Their site explanations aren't so helpful.

[JDelage]

Last I checked, SDA doesn't sell internationally. You need to get what you want from a retailer.

@JDelage thanks.  Unfortunately, my daughter wants a jacket that I can't find in her size on any other site.

Then you can use a proxy.

It looks like SDA has updated the fits of their 100 series with higher rises.

As way of update on this... the SDA100 I found to be like Fullcount 1108 with a smidge more room in the top block. 

The 107 was a favourite of mine when I was much younger,  till the low rise and tight top block could not hold back the years... now with the higher rise and a little more room up top are back in rotation. They are almost identical to Resolute 710 which is a good for me.

I'm still a bit confused about this.
I had seen somewhere that the measurements of say the SD 101 indicate a higher rise now.
But on SDA's site- which seems to have been relaunched recently- the front rise for the 36 for instance is still 28cm:

How do they differentiate between the older version and the new one?

Or is this the new series?

There is a GL3 SD-1001
Though the link does not seem to work.

At denimio for the SD-101 in 36 a front rise of 30.5cm is stated.
https://www.denimio.com/de_DE/sd-101-15oz-regular-straight/SD101.html

Not sure, if that is a question of measuring or whether this is indeed already the newer model with a higher rise.

For the 50 year anniversary of pants shop avenue together with SDA they released a pair based on the SD-101 but with a ca. 1.5cm higher front rise and apparently a slightly rougher 15oz denim, the second edition of the Kotaro jeans.

G3 SDA are different to.the standard SD1.... line. 

If you refer to Denimio,  via the blog post, it links to both the original models and the new revised models. 

I found the measurements of the new models to be accurate.

This is good news for the new rise. It's only about 1/2", but every little bit helps.

Half inch rise can make a world of difference 

[Maynard Friedman]

^ That’s what she said!

[Bobbo]

Always tough to post after a Maynard-post! But here’s some worn in 101’s.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

The fades of the 1xx denim will remain one of my favorites 

[Bobbo]

Agreed! It’s excellent and deserves more love.

[Geeman]

Absolutely my favourite denim. 

I was losing the will with SDA fits. New 100 model and the tweaks to the original fits have restored my faith! 

Loving my new pair.

[Bobbo]

Oh that is news to me. Cheers mate, @Geeman, will definitely have to read more on this. The old 101 have been passable for me. With an updated fit it might turn into something extraordinary. 

[Geeman]

@Bobbo have a look at this

Can you link to some shop pages, where they sell the "old" version vs. the "new"one?

I'm not sure, if the ones at the shops now are the old or the new ones.
The front rise can differ from 28cm to 30cm, while the price is the same.

@indigoeagle Well denimio has that. Here’s search results for the 102 where the “old” version has ‘<previous version>’ in the name:

What about the 101?

Sorry, I had forgotten to mention, that I was looking into that model.

That wasn't working at one point, but the link works now.

So these all seem to be the new ones:
https://bears-tokyo.myshopify.com/products/studio-dartisan-sd-101-15oz-right-hand-regular-straight
https://item.rakuten.co.jp/earthmarket/sd-101-2836/
https://item.rakuten.co.jp/barnstormer3goten/bsd2188/
For 36 they all say something like 28.9 to 29.5cm  for the front rise.

This seems to be the old one.
For a 36 the FR is 28cm.
https://item.rakuten.co.jp/natty-passage/sd-101/?variantId=r-sku00000002

So the front rise is about 1-1.5cm longer. 
The main difference then is probably the back rise which Bears measures as 42cm.
Previously it was ca. 40.5cm.
