apparently they just restocked 3 months ago

Two birds with one stone. Even better value.

xd

Yeah it's sold out. Check back in a bit or enter your details here. steadyclothing.com/collections/jackets/products/scorpion-bomber-jacket-in-taupe

Yeah they closed down. RIP JLM. Would suggest one of the other sites that I've mentioned in the video.

Japanloverme is dead. Try ebay and etsy for vintage sukajan, just make sure you filter by pre-owned or vintage options on either site. Then as for Koisea, personally it's an avoid. Cheap Chinese made jackets and clothing dropshipped is what it looks like to me.

Thanks! :D Yeah it's a challenge being a large human and liking sukajan jackets... I was recently in Japan and really struggled to find anything that fit well. As to where to find what you're looking for, there's no easy answer. Either a place like Rakuten or Sukajack for new jackets I think

Are you happy with your purchase,

lol😂

Getting a jacket from a movie to fit your "New" personality.

@@TheStrawThatStirsTheDrinkit’s hard to get that jacket now

Much more likely dropshippers of low quality jackets.

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 lmao their jackets have a lot of reviews but still kinda sus cuz nobody talk abt koisea on yt. Even the names of reviewers are too perfect to be true

@@glennhonestly6600 And they're too cheap to look that good :) I've checked in the past and found the same jackets with the same pictures on Aliexpress

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 I think they're dropshippers but I'm not certain. I've ordered 2 sukajan from them and they are of excellent quality. They even have a new sukajan listed on their store that I was unable to find listed anywhere else via reverse image searching.

@@williamnorwood2884 If you're happy with your jackets then that's the most important thing! I'll still reserve judgement until I see one of their jackets in person.

Yeah, I recently updated the description of the video, but: 2021: I had great experiences with the team at Japan Lover Me, but it seems their busines has been a casualty of the pandemic. For vintage Sukajan I still recommend checking out Etsy/Ebay, and also sites like Grailed. For new sukajan, Rakuten is the best bet.

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 For me, the best place to shop for an original sukajan would be Toyo Enterprise, the downside is that it doesn't ship internationally, neither does Rakuten. Therefore the best option for is Hinoya Shop. Too bad with JLM Store, even though they inflated their prices, they had good jackets ...

I bought 2 from them awhile back for around 100-200+ and I gotta say they are honestly worth more than what I paid. Silk jacket with beautiful elaborately stitched designs on them. Just make sure you order 1-2 sizes larger as they measure in Asian size and are likely to be too small for your actual size.

​@@sergeantruckus1413 I've looked at their website. I know they also suggest one or two sizes larger, the question is should I get one size larger or two sizes larger? Realistically how do they fit, and have any sizes larger did you order yours?

@@KidPersepolis I ordered both of mine 1 size larger and they *do* fit, but I think if they were another size larger they’d be way more comfortable. They are comfortable, but they feel like a jacket you’re about to outgrow. I’m 6ft+ with a toned build, so if you’ve got a similar body type, 1 size larger should do the trick, but if you’re a little more on the thicker side I would definitely recommend getting 2 sizes larger.

@@sergeantruckus1413 Thank you for your prompt answer. I am about 5'10", and clocking in about 190. I usually walk around at 180-185, and wear US men's large (t-shirts and whatnot). Side note, just got back to the states, I travel to Middle East for extended periods for work, and the diet is healthier there. Feel like I get fat every time I return here. Assuming I drop 8-10 pounds, do you think two sizes up (2XL) would be superbaggy or okay? Can't seem to get a straight answer from their website, but their jackets look awesome and are priced well.

@@KidPersepolis If your weight fluctuates between thinner and thicker, I would suggest getting a 2X definitely. I have high metabolism and don’t really gain weight, but I still wish I got a 2X simply for extra room

So this is a vintage jacket that I got from Japan Lover Me. I think they've gone out of business sadly and I'm not sure where you can find a jacket similar. You can probably find a Koi design easily enough in Chinese lower quality jackets, but outside of that your best bet is likely trying your luck on second hand platforms like etsy

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 ah damn that’s tragic, I looked at Japan Lover Me and thought it was just a short maintenance. Anyways thanks for the quick response!

Yeah mainly that. The designs are hand embroidered

I cover a bunch in the video, but I bought a bunch of mine from Japanloverme. Etsy and eBay are decent places to look too. Alternatively if you want new ones, rakuten sells a bunch from propers brands like Toyo

Avoid places like Koisea that are dropshippers for low quality jackets

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 thanks bro ive been struggling trying to find a good reliable website other than amazon that sells true to size jackets

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 and ive seen koisea and saw the reviews of satisfied customers of good looking jackets but are they legit?

@@skxlter5747 No problem. I'd definitely look to Rakuten for new jackets and places like Etsy for vintage, just be sure to filter by vintage/pre-owned. Unfortunately Japan Lover Me seems to be having issues. As for Koisea, from everything I've seen they're drop-shippers that sell cheap Chinese jackets that I've seen on aliexpress. By all means try them out if you'd like, but I'd be cautious

In short, I don't think so no. You can find the same jackets and even same photos used on Aliexpress so I think they're just drop shippers. I've bought one of these jackets before to test the quality and it was bad. Very bad.

I'm honestly not sure of the brand. I looked at the tag but unfortunately it's in Japanese, so I can't read it. Google lensed it and didn't get anything useful either. It's a fairly rare design, so I think finding an exact copy will be difficult tbh. Sorry I can't be more helpful

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 darn that sucks

@@dakuoni7510 Yeah I know! For what it's worth here's the link to the original listing on JLM Store. No mention of the brand. I can at the very least tell you that it's not a Toyo. japanloverme-store.com/search-browse-by/vintage-japanese-japan-black-animals-butterfly-rabbit-frog-kaeru-usagi-crane-tsuru-embroidered-embroidery-sukajan-souvenir-jacket-size-xl/

@@graemedutoit7432 Ty for your troubles.

Mostly na. Koisea are basically cheap Chinese produced jackets. I bought one before and the embroidery is like a big patch as opposed to actual embroidery and the fit was terrible. If you want to buy something to hang on a wall as decoration not bad otherwise avoid

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 after i read this. Im cancel my order at Koisea. So, where i can buy sukajan under $150?

@@AaronGybran I'd recommend second hand retail platforms. Both Etsy and Ebay are worth a shot. Search for sukajan and make sure you untick 'new' items in your search options so you're getting used / second hand choices. Japanloverme also has a bunch under 150, although most of the good stuff is more expensive

@@graemedutoit7432 wow. Thx you 👏

Omg astrology sk sk sk I'm such an asparagus

Yeah the waist is snug. Definitely not a loose waist!

@@gamingfortheweekend5490 worth the money or do you think it’s better to buy the cheaper version?

@@atmtalks I haven't tried cheaper versions, but I love the jacket. I think it's worth it. There's also another highly rated, but more expensive version by www.magnoliclothiers.com/ you can look into

@@gamingfortheweekend5490okay! Ya I was concerned that the bottom of the jacket would not be elastic enough and would be open. I like that it fits snug around the waist though.

Haha, made it myself. But brands like Hyperx sell pudding caps. Very similar
