Maybe it was made in their factory but not necessarily their denim. I would think 25oz fabric would need specific machines to do the work and its quite possible only a handful have that particular machine. Im sure IH has things made in different factories for their capabilities. I of course am just speaking out of my ass but then again I tend to talk shit :-\ :-\

A heard a rumor the xhs denim is made by Big John.
What's "Big John"?.. And no: I'm not Googl'ing that… Forget about it - I wouldn't be able to stomach some results this early in the morning...
-
It's a traditional japanese denim brand. Around since 1960 approx.

A heard a rumor the xhs denim is made by Big John. Maybe I'm late on this, but I just heard it through the grapevine last week.
I figured the experts might be able to verify if the rumor was correct. I really don't care that much either way, but like know as much as possible.
Boy some weird shit flys around. I don't even know if Big John have a weaving factory, I highly suspect not because that is not the way things work in Japan. Is is possible that big John have some of their denim made where we have ours made.
Tell whoever is spreading the rumour that they are talking through their arse.

Any Americans ever been charged duty or tax on incoming items from Japan or any other country? Thinking of buying something off Rakuten but just want to make sure. I've ordered some stuff before and never got charged but someone told me I was suppose to.
-
Yeah - I've ordered 4 pairs of sneakers from Japan and 3 of them made it through customs without charges. The 4th I wasn't so lucky.
edit
All through Rakuten -
Rakuten, not so far. eBay, ouch. I'll let you know when the lofgrens arrive.
-
never been hit from rakuten either. Got hit hard once for a pair of jeans that came from the EU, that has been my only experience thus far… (*knocks on wood)
-
Yea I wonder what determines when. I know there are guidelines but it seems when u buy from certain companies u usually dont get hit regardless of how valuable the item is.
-
Thanks guys. Now I just need to figure out whether I buy from BiG or Rakuten. $75-100 difference.

DC4?

I think it's about declared value mainly. If its over a certain amount the govt wants a piece. If it costs a certain amount you want to declare that for insurance purposes. Catch-22.
