I like how you mentioned how Japanese denim is coming back. Japanese jeans are literally the best pants you can buy. A+++++ quality, they will never go out of style and they literally go with EVERYTHING. I like Japan blue a lot but I LOVE MOMOTARO. (same company)

[@THECASUALco]

I was about to mention that Momotaro was the same company but you got it!

My friend sold the *amzclothes* and it looks like the real thing you showed. It even comes with an authenticity card that matches the serial number of each coat. But her fake was $150.

[@jessicawang9170]

The quality is always what I look for in every thing! I have to say Japan’s products are no doubts never fail! I have some Japanese clothes doesn’t need to be brand names that last 20-30 years with regularly washing and dryer as often as I want !

[@BlackAesop]

I lived in japan and loved seeing the changing vibes in shinjuku and shibuya. I was brrok musician so I wore what ever I could afford. Japan is great about do what you want and feel great in it. New fan here! love your content! Subscribed!

[@renzrenzrenzrenzrenz]

I like the brand Saint Michael (Saint m6, Saint M××××××) which is also owned by Yuta Hosokawa with Cali Dewitt. The brand was started in 2020. It is more vintage aesthetic and they have many interesting design's which are mostly hand drawn design. And in the span of 2 years it is already popular among celebrities especially rappers and athletes. They already worked with Dickies, Takahashi Mirakami, Denim Tears and they have an upcoming Travis Scott/Cactus Jack collaboration.

[@menace3507]

Readymade is incredible. For me, the trend for others will come and go but I will always be a fan as long as they keep the same level of quality. Almost talked my homie into copping this $4K down puffer. He regrets not getting it til this day😂

[@quag3803]

I would have loved to see more Japanese Denim brands like Karakuri and Evisu. They probably are the most likely to thrive in a western market.

In Australia we're quite lucky to be close to Japan so there's a good selection of new & vintage retailers for Japanese brands. and wander has been a hit and there are other brands which could be on this list too that are quietly making waves here like Beams Plus and Snow Peak.

[@bumenjoyer]

Where in Australia do you shop for a large selection or designers besides farfetch or harrolds?

[@tai___pham]

​@@bumenjoyer there's a handful of good boutiques and vintage sellers in Aus. I would recommend checking out Incu, Contra, Double Double, Supply, Up There, Above The Clouds, Chinatown Country Club, Highs And Lows, 108 Warehouse, Kloretex and Midnight Mart. GQ Aus also wrote about menswear boutiques recently!

Just to let you guys know, clothes are not an “investment” That’s like saying buying a soda is an investment because the cash back for recycling.

[@THECASUALco]

Actually an investment can be something that saves you money in the future as well. A pair of well made durable jeans that cost 300 but last for decades is better investment than buying a pair of $30 jeans every year. Investments don’t HAVE to be something that gives you money back. And investment is anything that allows you to have more money in the future. Whether that’s a house whose value increases over time OR a pair of jeans whose value doesn’t increase BUT prevents you from spending more money over time.

[@johnnyc.3261]

@@THECASUALco yeah, I guess if you bought clothes solely based on what lasts longer.

[@THECASUALco]

I mean admittedly most people don’t. Perhaps I’m thinking too much about myself. My bad on that point🫠

[@johnnyc.3261]

@@THECASUALco I actually think we’re both kinda right on this. I do buy some clothes based on quality of production and some items like jackets and jeans can be a good investment because they do last so much longer.

[@haroldgrey134]

Unpopular (or maybe it's popular i dunno) opinion: Readymade is overpriced and now unoriginal. High fashion labels do reconstruction/military. Anybody & everybody on insta & tiktok is remaking military garments. Duffel bags into coats using their home sewing machines. For a tiny fraction of Readymade's price. No way Readymade could capture the West now with this much solid competition.

[@THECASUALco]

Maybe BUT I would still argue that it's direction, name recognition, and consistency as a brand would surely have a leg up on many competitors. Also you have to remember the same can be said for ANY of the brands that were mentioned in the episode. Anyone could construct what The Viridi-anne does, or make a hoodie like Monkey Time, or outerwear like And Wander. Point? The issue ISN'T originality. In fashion it RARELY is. It's solid branding, audience, and consistency; all things that READY MADE already has.

[@haroldgrey134]

@@THECASUALco For sure, that's fair. But - if readymade hopes to crack into more mainstream western markets, it can't be pricing one-off hand made garments at $9000 a pop! He'll need to branch out into lower price point T shirts with some minor detailing or something haha

[@mrotaveria]

Readymade is the most overpriced brand I ever seen. There are jackets selling for 14k, or you can get cargo shorts for just 5k, lol. I'd feel so dumb buying things from them but, to each their own.

[@menace3507]

@@haroldgrey134 I hear u but kinda disagree. We already have plenty of luxury brands/companies out here with wild price tags. I don’t think they need to make lower tier items - even though I’d love that for myself lol - I think they just need a really good marketing department and strategy to be strong regardless of celebrity endorsement. My 2 cents.

They don't NEED it, but it's always good to have options in a world that provides options. The fact that we live in a time where we can present our interests via clothing says a lot about how far we have progressed as humans. Is it all good? HARDLY. We still have a long way to go but does it show a level of progression that's worth noting? Absolutely.
