NEIGHBORHOOD from Japan

What kind of brand is NEIGHBORHOOD?

NEIGHBORHOOD is a Harajuku streetwear label founded in 1994 by Shinsuke Takizawa that draws on motorcycle culture, military surplus and American workwear, made under the slogan "Craft with Pride". Its recurring products are denim, coach jackets and flight jackets, flannel and work shirts, and graphic tees, plus the SRL sub-line of planters, incense and home goods. The brand sells mainly through its own Japanese stores and a small set of Japanese stockists, all of which deliver only inside Japan, and its seasonal drops then circulate on the Japanese resale market. Buying from Japan is therefore the route to the full range, to older seasons and to the collaborations that were released only in Japan, and a proxy is how an overseas buyer gets a Japanese address and yen payment to do it.

What do NEIGHBORHOOD denim listings mean by サベージ and リジッド?

サベージ (Savage) is NEIGHBORHOOD's long-running denim line, and リジッド (rigid) means the denim is unwashed and unworn raw fabric; a listing that combines them is describing an unwashed pair of Savage jeans. Japanese denim sellers describe fabric state and fit precisely, so these words plus the waist size in inches or the brand's numeric size and the 実寸 measurements tell you almost everything.

How do NEIGHBORHOOD sizes read on a Japanese listing?

NEIGHBORHOOD uses S, M, L and XL on tops and a numeric size on denim, but the number to trust is the 実寸 measurement in centimetres that Japanese sellers include. The brand's cut follows Japanese proportions on many items, so an overseas buyer's usual letter size is not a safe guide; compare the four garment measurements against something that fits you and, for jackets, ask whether the number is measured with the garment lying flat.

• 着丈 (kitake) — body length
• 身幅 (mihaba) — chest width, flat
• 肩幅 (katahaba) — shoulder width
• 袖丈 (sodetake) — sleeve length
• ウエスト / 股下 / わたり — waist, inseam and thigh width on denim

Which Japanese sites carry NEIGHBORHOOD, new and used?

Current season is the brand's own stores and online shop plus Japanese select shops, domestic-only; everything else is the resale market. Mercari and Rakuma carry the most recent drops, Yahoo Auctions carries older seasons and the collaborations with adidas, Vans, Porter and others, and 2nd STREET and ZOZOTOWN's used section carry shop-graded pieces. The archive is deep because the brand has sold in Japan for three decades, and older flight jackets and denim in particular rarely leave Japan except through a proxy.

What does it cost to ship NEIGHBORHOOD outerwear from Japan?

Outerwear is where the international shipping line matters, because it is paid after the item reaches our Japan warehouse and priced on the parcel. The first payment, at order time, is the item price in yen plus OneMall's service fee, shown before you confirm, plus the seller's domestic shipping if charged. A flight jacket or a pair of raw denim is heavy, a coach jacket is not, and a tee is negligible, so the same brand produces very different shipping totals. Consolidating several pieces at the warehouse into one parcel lowers the cost per item. Import duty, if your country charges it, is paid on delivery.
