looking good!
I normally prefer the rigid version as opposed to the distressed but Rising Sun have developed a nice wash for their jacket.

I've got a rigid one in L. Fits true to size IMHO.Any FLers got one of these yet? Sizing info would be good
Talking about Rising Sun.
I'm selling a indigo coloured machinist cap in small/medium here:

The tan one is gone already.
The pic is from the RS website.
I've bought quite a few bits from them over the last few years. Only once visiting the shop on a Stateside holiday. I always deal with John and order stuff by email and an occasional phone call if it's easier. They ship International no problem and are very easy to deal with.
Email? Phone call? Cue up that Mission Impossible theme now!
Shipping prices terrify me. I've looked at Rakuten, and while it's competitively-priced, I'm leary of the shipping prices (they don't tell you at the check-out, it comes later) and I'm worried that I could be presented with a "NOOOO!" *faints* bill.
If you're buying stuff direct from Japan you may want to try these guys to proxy for you. http://sutocorp.com/
Had a pair of jeans arrive yesterday no problems at all. There are extras like their fee and paypal that will eat into some of the price savings but in my case those jeans aren't available anywhere else so it's slightly different.
LOL. I have been charged 50 quid by Aero twice. The postage do cost a lot given the distance. I have not had a problem with Rakuten but I live closer. The shipping is pretty much as shown on the list . Some of the shops there will send you an email setting out the total (including the shipping) and ask you to confirm before shipping out. Using forwarder however does have advantage as many shops there do not ship overseas. Little bit of advice, if your shipping box is auto-set to UK owing to the server, change the shipping box to Japan (and thru forwarding) manually, it will open a whole new world.Cheers for that. The idea of committing to paying for something, and then being told "That'll be £50 postage, please." doesn't appeal.
