A few japanese denim-related links I found...

[dismalfuture]

Not sure if these are repeats, or if these are of much value, but here:

(all in Japanese)

http://www.j-e-a-n-s.net/ - Seems to be a gathering place for japanese denimheads. Has a php board and all.

http://www.citronjeans.com/ - has hardware for making jeans, and apparently custom labels and patches (???)

Also, this tutorial on various repairs, etc: http://www.citronjeans.com/insider/ml/cutoff.html

http://www.milktea.com/ - kind of like Ryu's site, I guess

http://denim-gallery.heavy.jp/ - I think this has been posted here before, right?

cool, we should put this in the encyclopedia though

[watchman]

yeah we should. The 811s on that second to last site are ridiculous, they just totally made me appreciate the beating i've been putting into these.
