What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

I saw your IG post and I have to ask…Mushmans has these for $1.5k but your price is $2.150k? Surely you deserve something for the effort and the inevitable pains that come with also being a customer service rep. Is this what you’ve built into your pricing model? Are there enough folks willing to go that high over retail/ direct from Japan?

I was also wondering about that.

Shipping, customs, inevitable hassles of customer service, business taxes and overhead...

I'm a broke ass who buys used exclusively but idk why you are surprised by this.

Hey guys a couple of points.

It’s not a group buy, I’m buying from Rainbow Country to resell. Some folks are going to pre-order but dunno how many, and I have to be able to pay Rainbow Country for the order.

This is my first rodeo doing this so there are a lot of unknowns. I based my pricing off of the only other non-Japanese retailer I could find: Recall Clothing.

I think some folks will want to order direct from Japan. And that’s ok. I’ve done that! But some will be interested in buying from a US-based seller for a variety of reasons. Once the jackets arrive I’ll also be able to measure them in a more standardized way too.

Of course once I have more knowledge maybe I revisit the price? Dunno!

I dont want to derail the thread or anything. But feel free to hit me with any questions. If it gets to be a lot perhaps DM or convo would be better?

Sagar85 it's good to see you again. You look cool.​


Thank you for the advice on the size of the jacket. My buddy managed to buy a Freewheelers "Mulholland"44 size as soon as they appeared. She suited him perfectly. He is very grateful to you. Here is his photo
