19,800 yen
What's that..'bout US$200?
It costs some serious ching to buy foreign in Japan:
NY Yankees cap:
Stateside - US$25
Tokyo - \7000 (about US$80(?)
Pair of Levis:
Stateside - US$40
Tokyo - \14,000 (about US$150(?)
This trendy urban store in Nakameguro中目黒 sells 'vintage' clothes. By 'vintage' I mean someone's buying used clothes and shoes really cheap and selling them really expensive..like 100% markup expensive.
That's ok, though - in Japan, if something's expensive it means it HAS TO be good; you just need one person to buy it and everyone else'll run out and get it just to be part of the fad.
