Not really deals but for anyone who is interested to see the various chinese made copies, here is a seller on Yahoo Auction. Easier to look at than Taobao.

Prices on Yahoo JP are much higher than on Taobao.

I am sorry. I have never needed to go through proxy on Taobao. I have read that people from overseas can buy directly but there are problems with the translation and search engine.Best proxy buying service for Taobao, in your opinion? I usually just use Buyee for Japan but I might as well go straight to Taobao. Love to buy a Natural vegtan jacket to beat the hell out of for like $150...
Dude at a certain point I was beginning to feel trolled....I don't know how EVERY SINGLE SCHOTT SUEDE TRUCKER ended up in Japan. I wouldn't be willing to buy anything internationally atm anyway but that really made me LOL.
Those CIDU jackets look very tempting...I really like the cowhide indigo type III.Not really deals but for anyone who is interested to see the various chinese made copies, here is a seller on Yahoo Auction. Easier to look at than Taobao.

I've seen them all. Honestly I just laughed. Thankfully that phase has passed...until one turns up stateside. Couple cool suede Vanson truckers too (I'm sure you noticed). I really like the black one.But wait, there’s more!
I will slow my roll though. Lol.
One of the reasons being the Japanese office/agent of these brands usually order a wider range of selection. For example, the Schott D pocket 1928 model has been a regular item in Japan for many years and yet they are only released as very limited run in the States. The same goes for Red Wing, Levi's, New Balance etc.Dude at a certain point I was beginning to feel trolled....I don't know how EVERY SINGLE SCHOTT SUEDE TRUCKER ended up in Japan.

That's certainly true but the ones I saw have the old "rancher" tag that Schott stopped using in the 70's. They are true vintage pieces not current production models. The Vanson truckers however do appear to be newer current production models, based on the tag and that's a jacket Vanson does not advertise on their US site.One of the reasons being the Japanese office/agent of these brands usually order a wider range of selection.

I picked up that Cidu that HandyMike was selling not too long ago. How to describe it? Sort of a cardboardy feel when you first put it on, but then it feels more comfortable. My son and his friends really like it, and I guess I do too, Really hard to describe. One of the best things about it is the dye job HM did on it - a really dark brown, almost black. As HM described it to me, it's the kind of jacket you might wear a couple of times a month, and when you do you wonder why you don't wear it more often. Then you reach for the Aero.Those CIDU jackets look very tempting...I really like the cowhide indigo type III.
