You will get pretty much what you pay for - their stuff is not bad for the price but not too good either.
I don't think they ship internationally. I used to get their stuff through friends visiting Japan, so proxy shopping could be a way.

not so much faulty, but in general you don't get something like Buzz Rickson's, in terms of materials and parts used, attention to detail, etc.

But I liked their B-15C and MA-1 which are quite substantial with wool lining and all, and especially good (with a light heart) to put your own patchwork on..
Like this:


I removed some patches from this and added pilot wing, name tab and rank insignia.

That's pretty neat!

Has anyone purchased anything from them before?
I saw they had B-10 jackets for a pretty reasonable price

But their website is only in Japanese, I haven't heard a huge amount from them, and I feel like I'd be paying an arm and a leg for shipping

Bit of a late reply but I recently got an A-2 from them which is pretty good but obviously not Real McCoys quality. That said, I didn't actually get it from their website but from Buyee.
