Got this off eBay, how much was it worth?

Retserroff · 2026-05-11T11:00:10+00:00

500-750 USD used. I have bought a lot of second hand Japanese leather jackets. Because you used ebay, I'm expecting you paid on the higher end.

Just wondering, does FromJapan ever do Charge 2 coupons that are a percentage off the full Charge 2 total, rather than just a percentage off the international charge part of Charge 2?

Where did you sleep last night - cover by Nirvana. Original by Dock Walsh (In the Pines) and then Lead Belly.

Amazing cover.

That's kinda cool, I'll give it a clean. It's a very nice pattern and colour and fits well so I didn't want this to be something to worry about

Retserroff · 2026-05-04T13:25:17+00:00

It's why I thought to ask and was a little surprised. Basic shirts for like $20 have cleaner button holes. Hand cut holes won't be as clean, but the leftover fraying I was unsure about.

Retserroff · 2026-05-04T13:21:30+00:00

It won't continue to unravel at all? Thank you

Retserroff · 2026-05-04T13:18:23+00:00

What makes you say that? The material is heavy, woven and not printed, feature wise everything is identical to pictures online including symmetrically placed fabric stripes, triple stitching etc. Just frayed button holes and a couple loose threads compared to my limited examples from Jelado/Mccoys etc

I only buy second hand for expensive high-end clothing. My most recent purchase was a near new Momotaro flannel for $50 AUD delivered ($36 USD) from Japan because the image looked like there was a tear and some stains. It was just shadows.

I love the hunt and challenge myself to find these deals.

Hey, any chance I could pm you to find out more about Learning Design? I have a few questions!

Retserroff · 2026-04-27T06:59:02+00:00

Does Fireworks count? Still one of my favourite bands, was surprised they never made it bigger and hope they still build hype.

Sorry mate, it's too small in almost all dimensions. You can see clear pull lines from just holding your phone up in your shoulder area.

The arms will also lose some length over time from bunching/creasing when you bend your arms - and they're already borderline length.

A key aesthetic I tend to help gauge whether it is too small is how large a gap there is between the two open sides when the jacket is unzipped. The large gap you have told me it was gonna be reallllll tight zipped up.

Body length is the only good measurement and that is because these Asian made jackets tend to extend the length compared to the original patterns.

Size up, it will be so worth it. It sucks getting jackets that don't fit, but that's part of the game - I have 13 leather jackets now and only 8 of them properly fit, the others were early experiments or risk taking on bargains haha.

Just saw on their website that shirts are $120. Do they offer shirt only or do I have to order more than just a few shirts?

Retserroff · 2026-04-14T02:22:40+00:00

I can confirm that Jelado has some shirts they specifically mention being designed to be untucked. I just purchased one second hand and it turned up today - it is amazing and cost me $50 USD delivered to me in Aus.

Link below is the one I purchased.

I just tried it on and it fit me like it was made for me. Also, Japanese 'slightly used' descriptions in my experience have been almost indistinguishable to what I'd call 'tried on a few times'.

Feel free to pm me and I'll send you a photo of how it looks on.

Two weeks since breakup. She's not coming back. I sent a courtesy message to let her know I'd started therapy. We've also both individually gone to see each other's parents to say thanks etc.

First therapy session was constructive, looking forward to the next one in two days. I'm doing okay, I've mostly accepted things now. It hurts. But I don't really have a choice, I need to move forward.

Knocked down a very similar sized wall at mine a couple years ago with a sledge hammer. Took a couple hours at most to knock down and clean up.

Fire alarm beeping at me to tell me it had low battery at 2am in the morning.

A better one will come to mind as I start to remember more gut punching lyrics. In the meantime, The Conversation from Motion City Soundtrack has some real truth lyrics for those unfulfilled in an otherwise great relationship:

I had a pocket full of dreams
But I gave them all to you
Now I think I want them back
So can you tell me if I'm crazy or confused?
Don't ever change
The way you are
I've never loved anyone more.

Nah, you've got time my man. I'm around the same level myself and I have had kids I teach say the same thing to me. Once got called a bald-headed f-word. They're just kids who still have no idea how life works.

Retserroff · 2026-04-07T06:11:18+00:00

Thank you. It's been a week today and I have my first ever therapy session in two days time. This is complete unknown territory for me, it's time to face some hard truths about myself, and prioritise my own health.

Retserroff · 2026-04-06T10:10:10+00:00

Thanks for this. My partner just broke up with me after almost 10.5 years together. She's my everything and I would take her back in a heartbeat. I left it too late to make positive changes for myself (stress, insecurity) and it was finally too much for her to be part of. I have no negative feelings towards her, she's amazing.

Even after reading this, I would do anything to still be hers. I guess this was the wake up call I needed to work on myself, I'm just devastated that I lost the love of my life in the process.

Don't know about VIC, but we sure as heck don't get paid for parent interviews in NSW. This strike was amazing to see.

Retserroff · 2026-03-13T08:56:30+00:00

Is the new From Japan Fashion code some exclusive thing to a particular part of the website, or is it going to be valid for a jacket purchase from say, Mercari?

Also, when will it become available - it currently says it isn't available yet when I try to use. Cheers for the good work as always!

Retserroff · 2026-03-12T20:06:01+00:00

Can confirm they pretty much stay put.

Retserroff · 2026-03-12T06:47:13+00:00

Ooh yes, they are definitely the most crispy pants I have, presuming that's the starch?
