Depends on your country but since you wrote € you are in the EU.
Everything you buy in Japan is without VAT but you have to pay that when you import it. And the above 150€ value you also have to pay customs fees which are 12% on top (IIRC).
So for Germany, as an example, you would add 31% (19%+12%) when importing.

Danke Dir!

Does anyone know of a maker with a decent selection of Women’s jeans?

My other half wants a pair of regular/wide straights with a high waist in some kind of dry selvedge. I’m sure I remember LVC having a pretty good range at one point but no longer seems to be the case.

Anatomica’s 618 Marilyn looks absolutely on the money but sadly only goes up to 30. Ideally she’d want a 34 or 36.

SDA has 2 women's models:

What are the differences between SDA's SD-801 (natural indigo regular straight jeans - JPY31k) and SD-D01 (15oz natural indigo regular straight - JPY41k)?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Apart from the obvious different details, the 801 uses rope dyed denim (cheaper)

The D01 is hank dyed.

Thanks yeah unfortunately she needs a 34 which is apparently much larger than any Japanese offerings.

Might have to be a Western maker like Dawson that caters for bigger sizes.

any suggestions on jeans which fit similar to the evisu 2000? I've been wearing repro cuts for the longest time before this evisu pair I am wearing. I like the fit of the 2000s but the rise could be a little higher. I can't go too slim as it looks odd with the boots I wear. I have been thinking of getting the flathead 3005s but it seems that these have a small waist so I have to size up and the hem is wider than the 2000s. Any suggestions? Maybe the resolutes ww2 would work? or the warehouse denime jeans?

To folks in the know... what is Japan like from a weather perspective in July? 

I'm considering taking the family and we're pretty active. Perhaps 5 days in Tokyo then travelling to 2 other places in Japan to mooch and take in the culture. 

Climate charts show Tokyo as hot. But is it bearable / ok weather for mooching or not?

Any insights on other places that are milder appreciated. I'm conscious weather charts don't tell the full story.

Thanks

My partner’s brother lived in Japan (mainly in Hokkaido) for almost a decade. When his siblings and mom came to visit him a few years back, I want to say they went in July-August time, and said it was brutally hot, even in that northern climate. My partner’s mom is older and doesn’t do great in hot weather, so take that with a bit of salt as it was mostly her remembering the weather. But I don’t doubt it will be extremely hot most of the time, especially for those of us coming from climates like the uk and pacific northwest. If you’re all up for it, though, I’m sure it would be an amazing trip!!

Will be really hot, not the greatest for exploring a city. 

I've been late May early June and it was sweaty!

Same humidity as where you live with added bonus of about 8-10 more sweltering degrees of temperature 

[shredwin_206]

Very humid and muggy. As someone who runs warm I was pretty miserable all the time.

Anyone know of any good hbt work pants? Really after these vintage sweet-orrs on eBay but they’re size 32
