Unknown Japanese Brands

[beautiful_FrEaK]

@rockon99 I wrote with NeatStyle earlier over IG and they said they can ship overseas. But depending on what you want to buy, they don't sell everything online (like BOT and CSF).

And I think they dropped CSF and now rather work together with BOT for special jeans.

@Broark the Rebuilt jeans are looking really nice so far  what are the pocket bags made of? Can't remember

[Broark]

Thanks b_F, nothing overly fancy used for the pocket bags. Just a nice medium weight white cotton.
Although they do appear to be dyed with something, as they have taken on a slight khaki / off-white color over time.
Not sure if that's intentional or residual transfer from the denim itself or the thread dye since those have been dyed separately, I'll snap some photos of them soon.

Thanks @beautiful_FrEaK

Workers Japan is probably not an unknown Japanese brand, but I couldn't find a thread for them.

Anyway, they also have a WW2 (inspired) set up of  jeans (Lot 801XH, 14.7oz) with a type 1 lined up for next year as well as a type 2.

The front and back rise are comparatively low here, too (like their other models 801 and 802), with 28.2cm (11.1 inches) and 38.6cm (15.2 inches) resp. for the W34.
The length is 79cm (31.1 inches).
Price for the jeans is JPY 24,200 with tax included.

Almost two years of wear, Moto old baggy jeans, clean after a wash. 

[Broark]

Some updates to the LB 40s jeans, worn for about 3 months so far.
Denim is starting to show some signs of life, really enjoying them so far. There's a nice grain starting to develop.
My complaints are minimal, the selvedge ID is a little wide and I wish the front pocket openings were a little bigger.

Anyone have experience with Cushman’s 11.5oz denim? Tried searching but didn’t come up with much. Thanks in advance!

Actually is pre soak (raw),  the inseam match with tag L32.

@silencejoe appreciate that.

Just wanted to take some better detail photos of the Rockets before I finally decide to wash and start to wear them.

[reallypeacedoff]

Would love to know the details on those. Been following Rockets on IG, and the attention to detail looks amazing.

If not too much trouble, the old 'Presoak > Postsoak' measurements would be dope, I think we might be similar in sizing...

hi, i am also considering ordering a pair of rockets. I told them I was an overseas customer. They said the price of 33000 yen is tax included. Isnt there a tax exemption for international shipments? 

[unders]

@edwardlj Yes, tax should be excluded for international sales. From what I understand there is a fair amount of paperwork for the vendor to submit to deduct or claim back the tax, so often they just book the sale as domestic and avoid the admin. The other possibility is they’ll book it as international, claim the tax and pocket for themselves. I’d like to think it’s the former.

got it. thank you.

I have a god experience, maybe because I buy usually through verified sellers. Such as Hinoya, Rodeo Japan, Pants shop Avenue, Bears ....

Best is Hinoya where they also organize custom fees, so I needn't to solve any administration. Second is Bears. They ship above 15.000,- yen free of charge.... Very nice communication is also with Noaki from Pants shop and Seichiro - Freewheelers....

Some fella from Hinoya called me a criminal because I asked if they could put a low value on the customs form ....... proper mastermind I am

[vIGGiou riou]

Bo.... Never I paid custom fees for goods from Hinoya. They calculate that to the sell price and they pay it. I calculated that and there is difference cca in all fees + 4% (from fees, not from sell price). And I am not disturb with custom office. Just I receive parcel and that's it...... It seems to me as good deal....

But I don't know how was that in past. First time I bought something from them was 2021.... Or different countries ?

Here’s a weird one for y’all.  Did y’all notice some of the shops were displaying prices in USD instead of yen for a few days and then switched back to yen?  I was going to post this weird phenomenon but I figured some of y’all wouldn’t believe me about it.  Don’t know what prompted shops to do that randomly or if it was a software glitch.

Not sure which ones you're referring to - lots of them have the option to toggle between the two though. Could be something as simple as a cookie that remembered your last settings. Or not.
