You can only use the Japan site if you have a Japanese bank account and mail order address, but the level of fanaticism the Japanese have for the brand is over the top Evisu bought and shipped Levi’s original looms to be rebuilt in Japan The meticulous Japanese craftsmanship uses: Superior indigo dyes Highest quality cotton with full selvedge (no cutting the weave) Hand painted designs that you can customize, and it’s applied by very cool street artists with amazing typographic skill The styles are all numbered and so on tp provide authenticity and artistic pedigree E.
