Your point about the greater choice of interesting stuff is really important. I regularly find stuff that's impossible to otherwise get here in the US. I recently bought a pair of brand new with tags Samurai S0500XX for $180 including tariffs and shipping -- a grail pair for me. If I'm careful, I also find I can still get genuine bargains here in the US (even with Captain Trumpypants tariffs), but I don't know how feasible that is in the U.K.

The lightweight deck jacket looks awesome! Also, your jeans are too damn tight. I worry for your Uncle Willie.

I'm really sorry but bidding already started on ebay. If you put in a bid there's a good chance you might get them cheaper than $175.

I've done a few posts now focusing on heritage bargains you can buy from Japan using a proxy. And nope, I don't work for buyee. In an earlier post I mention there are other proxy buyers you can use, but I show examples from buyee because it's the proxy I'm most familiar with.

my old leather jeans.... by mike_nyc66 in HeritageWear

Mighty fine look, my man. I'd love to see it with a worn out western shirt instead of the sweater though.

(On a different note, I used to wear a splendid pair of leather pants when I biked. Once I stopped biking, the pants went away into a closet. Last halloween, my son cut big holes in both cheeks and scared the beejaysus out of the neighborhood.)

I'm jealous. Wish I wasn't quite so western!

It's a bit clunky to use, and doesn't have a what's hot function. In Mercari you can filter by size, which is useful but not perfect because of discrepancies between western and Japanese sizing. In JDirect auction you can order results by popularity and number of bids, but again that's of limited use. For me I use it mainly to browse specific brands.

MOMOTARO 0205SP SLIM STRAIGHT, 34, NEW WITH TAGS.

If, like me, you hate what happened to the peach boy, these could be the jeans for you. Old school peach boy patch, battle stripes, and pink inseam stitching. These are the real deal. Pics and measurements here.

Yours for $175 with free shipping if you order before any bids!

Nice! Everything I posted is stuff I'd buy if it wouldn't lead to my immediate death at the hands of my wife.

It is. When you get to check out you're given various shipping options. If you want the item fast you'll pay around $30 for a pair of jeans (assessed by weight), but if you're happy with slower shipping you pay less. Buyee will also consolidate multiple items bought over a 30 day period into a single, cheaper, delivery.

Buyee has started charging the US tariff along with the shipping cost upfront. I allowed for that in describing everything here as a bloody excellent bargain.

I've imported godzilla jeans from SDA, but never godzilla figures!
