Transcript

The Japanese yes just hit a thirty year low which means everyone's flying to Japan because tourism is cheap, but shopping also feels dangerously affordable. I just got back. So here's what's actually worth your money and what you should skip. First off is the best denim in the world. Usually, authentic Japanese savage denim will rank you about $300. But specifically, these Momotaro jeans you can get for over 50% off in Japan. But if you wanna add a little bit of spice, you can head over to the oldest of Isu store in Tokyo. Same kind of discounts best with a wide array of beautiful designs and even custom hand painting services. I personally got tier sashiko slash bar inspired design, but there's options for everyone. However, if you've been looking for that one to one quality craftsmanship from the fifties, Junkie Special offers a wide array of sugarcane denim jackets and jeans, buzz rigs and salvage denim, as well as all the one to one military bomber jackets from the nineteen forties. Next, we're gonna talk about vintage. So don't forget to fall if you wanna see that too.
