This video is so immersive.. Thank you for making it. Please a make video about the influence and impact denim jeans had on Japan in the 2000's era

[@greenyonder]

I really enjoyed this video. You did an excellent job in editing the interview and the story of Betty Smith. I'd love to hear more about jeans from you.

A really great tour and conversation ~~ I live here in Okayama and I want to get my own “order made” Kojima jeans And wow, there’s a whole street full of different makers to choose from so I kind of got overwhelmed by choice wondering “who to choose and which style to get” / It’s a really fun day out exploring the town and you can pick up end pieces of denim real cheap for your own projects as well

[@Q2Japan]

Thanks for watching :) Yeah choosing the denim for you can be tough but fun. The pockets on mine are a bit small but I like em. Good luck on finding your go to jeans!

Japanese 👖 jeans always similar to Levi’s, may be the name Betty Smith have to change to be Joseph Smith.😅

Why dont Japanese import great quality jeans made in Japan at a competitive price ?.
21oz jeans at say around $80 would sell out fast !.
The Japanese import everything else , why not better quality heavyweight jeans at a cheaper price ?.
