I agree with the gentlemen commenting here....for $270 America can offer an amazing pair or TWO of the highest quality AMERICAN MADE jeans. I mean, we invented blue jeans. Why are we even discussing this. Give us jeans made here....NOT in China or Japan or Holland. $270??? Ridiculous!

rayce444No, you don't agree with what I'm saying. You sound like you don't know much about denim. You're speaking vague nonsense. Do yourself a favor and do some research on Japanese denim. Edit: I'm grumpy this morning, apparently!

Okay, what brands are you talking about?

rayce444We've offered USA-made jeans plenty of times in the past. With that said, most denimheads agree that Japan makes some of the most exceptional jeans out there. Brands like Samurai, Momotaro, Pure Blue Japan, etc are considered 'grails' for most people that are into this stuff. Most of those brands retail for $300+ so although these aren't an entry level pair of raws, they're still priced competitively compared to other similar offerings.

rayce444Well, to be fair, Americans only invented the modern form of jeans as we know them, what with rivets and the five pocket style. Denim based work clothes have existed long before, denim having been made in Italy.
I mean, with this logic, why buy American, when Italians made denim itself? Vintage American jeans have their respect because of their unparalleled quality at the time. Modern Japanese jeans have their respect because of the same sort of unparalleled quality that you can't find with a pair of Levi's at Macy's.

rayce444Nah, not particularly. Japan as a country is associated with quality products. I mean, their cars only got as big as they did because they were actually good AND cheap, because the U.S. auto industry didn't feel like making actually good cars at the time. The U.S. has more of a rep for innovation, I'd say. Not to knock U.S. quality, it can be pretty great, but I feel innovation is a stronger trait.
