Sweet, the Thunder Soap arrived! Edmond, do you use this with your washing machine or Bath tub?

I heading to Osaka at the end of the year, I was wondering if i should get the Samuarai there or purchase them off Blueingreen Soho.

[LaiShin]

what a question!

[edmond]

of course get them from samurai directly.. and i dont think they have a store in osaka email and ask them..

I would appreciate it if you would purchase them from Gordon so that he can continue to bring such great stock in from around the world. The final decision is yours.

Personally I would purchase them in Japan, I'm sure gordon doesnt mind people purchasing jeans directly from samurai if they are actually going to be in Japan.

Edit: Also he is in sydney so that way he can try them on...

What a question indeed, the obvious answer is to get them there, you get to look at the denim before you buy it, try it before you buy it, It will have arcs and tabs and most importantly, it will be cheaper.

BiG's shipping to aussie is also really expensive. ($50)

I plan on getting a pair of 710s when I'm in Japan in August. Would Tokyo be a better place to get them? Are they all raw in Japanese stores? Take five has them listed as one wash...?

[Cameland]

As far as I know samurai doesnt offer any one-wash models, if they are one-wash then the store must have washed them with their own service, maybe like BEARS. Feel free to correct me im wrong anyone.

[edmond]

bears does that! your right..

[Dick Danger]

about the wrong thing........classic

[tech86]

Was my question really that obvious?

Since the US currency quite low thesedays, i thought Blueingreen would be cheaper. Thats y i asked the Question

[edmond]

no blue in green wont be cheaper it is always cheaper when you buy from rakuten or from the store in japan.. we just want to patronize BIG

Even if the USD is quite weak right now, the AUD is still weaker. Plus, the yen isnt doing so great right now either. We fetch almost 100yen for the dollar now.

Thanks edmond, thats what i needed to know. because after reading numerous threads and the New York Times article on Blueingreen, they seem to be quite decent and dedicated to their customers. so i wasnt sure weather to wait till the end of the year and buy it from jap or placing a preorder from blue in green. So i guess i will purchase it in jap then

[edmond]

when you get it from japan youll have a freebie of red tabs and for some model the arcuates... cheers!

[Tyro1]

We all respect what BiG is doing and wish gordon the best for his venture, but it doesnt mean samurais shouldnt be purchased else where, seeing as I'm in Australia, I would most likey try to get jeans straight from the japanese stores.

[edmond]

why dont you get em from the rakuten stores or from samurai? [email protected]

[Cameland]

Yeah if there was a BiG or SE in melbourne I'd buy there before buying from japan, but since im in australia I don't see much point unless its sold out otherwise.

[petng]

Cameland. Didnt you have a pair of Sammies before. What happened to them?

[Cameland]

Hrmm I either sold or gave them to a friend, who thrashed the crap out of them.

[Tyro1]

Where did you get your sammies from last time?

[Cameland]

lol I dont even remember now, was quite a long time ago. I think I got them from another member here. They were indigo 5000s btw.

Having bought jeans online, from both the US and Japan, I have to agree. AUD is much stronger against the Yen than the USD (though pretty strong, at 85c the highest in 10 years), and postal costs are prohibitably expensive from the US (Japanese EMS got my sammies to me in 3 days for AUD$35 - DHL from the US costs AUD$60). This is not a slight against BiG or anything, but SE's free worldwide shipping is a big help, and definitely help in the decision making about where to get my jeans if I'm going the US route.

I just got my S510VX -2nd edition from Japan, ordered friday 2pm, arrived monday 3pm. Thats bloody crazy. Cost me $AUD275 inc shipping, same price as pair of Imperials. woop

[Cameland]
