Japanese Online Stores Proxy Service ZenMarket.jp - Official Affiliate Vendor

[baltimoron]

The biggest hold up that I typically have is in the shipment of the item to Zenmarket.

Yeah but that's not zms fault, I guess I was just referring to things zm is accountable for

 

[Chaconne]

And they are pretty quick with communicating if an item is sold out, which has been the unfortunate case with everything I've wanted thus far.

 

[ManofKent]

I've not ordered any clothing recently, but have ordered fountain pens and inks over the past few months, and I can't say Zenmarket's turnaround has declined - generally packaging to shipping quote takes less than 24hrs. The only delays I've had have been the shipping from store to Zenmarket (not something I can blame them for).

Is there any online shops where I can buy Old Joe brand clothing?

Dear readers,

Hello, how are you doing??
The brand we're introducing today is "The North Face Purple Label".

The North Face is a manufacturer/retailer of high-quality outdoor equipment and outerwear.
It was founded in San Francisco in 1966, and has since helped outdoor athletes and explorers reach a new horizon.
It's even gained popularity among teenagers and college students, and is today one of the world's top manufacturers of outdoor apparel.

The North Face Purple Label is a brand produced by The North Face and nanamica, available exclusively in Japan.
Purple Label never ceases to attract attention from around the world, but the unavailability makes it seem elusive and mysterious to the fans outside Japan.

So what is the difference between The North Face and Purple Label?
In an article on HIGHSNOBIETY, the mastermind of Purple Label, Eiichiro Homma says:

The core value of The North Face is providing the ultimate functions for outdoor sports. ... THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL is modified outdoor clothing with additional modern fashion aspects – creating a high-level mix of style and function

That is, Purple label is more fashion-oriented, without sacrificing any functions for outdoor activities.

Purple Label has released a 2017 Fall/Winter collection.
Let us show some of the items available on the official online store.

Dear readers,

​

Happy New Year, everyone! We hope it'll be another wonderful year for you all

Let us start this year's posts with one of the most popular Japanese fashion brands.
You'd probably know of this but I hope you'll find something new about it.

- A Bathing Ape (or BAPE) -
A Bathing Ape, which was established in 1993 by Tomoaki Nagao (or Nigo), is the most influential Japanese street-wear brand of all time. A Bathing Ape is ranked as the 2nd both in "The Best Japanese Clothing Brands" ranking on Ranker and in "The 50 Greatest Japanese Brands of All Time" on COMPLEX.

While often featuring collaborations with other fashion brands and famous characters & comic franchises including Hello Kitty, Dragon Ball, Star Wars, etc., BAPE also has its own iconic collections of items such as the SHARK series or CAMO series.

On Japanese online stores, as always, you can find a wider variety of garments by Japanese brands at nicer prices, and BAPE is not an exception.
If you visit the US store from the link below, you can find BAPE's jackets for from $442 to $1,177, but on the Japanese site, men's jackets are from $237 to $695 (¥24,800~72,800 + tax), and there're 7 times the number of items available. (As of 2018/01/06)
