He right about the ease of Japanese 2nd hand sites. I've been buying my denim and even a suit from one.

You missed the biggest plus to buying vintage/secondhand from Japan: Condition. If you're buying a secondhand bag in the US it's like, "Oh, the bottom is scratched to hell, it's missing the zipper pull, and there's peanut butter in the pockets. B-" In Japan, "The zipper pull has a scratch, and there's an ink stain in an interior pocket, C" They're super sticklers for condition, so you can get really great deals if a tiny scratch or crease doesn't bother you. Their vintage watch market is nuts too.

Found your channel yesterday but already love your content! (And your humor with the text xD) Will stalk your vids and can't wait for new ones ^^ Thank you!

Great vid, Ive been having a hard time shopping for Japanese brands in the west. Not enough variety or nowhere near my size. Especially when looking for shoes. I thought I was gonna have to bite the bullet, learn Japanese and take a week to fly over and fill up my suitcases with nice clothes. Extra points for the Persona 5 music in the background. Love that game.

That jacket is awesome, I love this advice. I’m a big fan of Japanese fashion and never thought to just buy from the source.
