Japanese people sometimes adopt a style out of a magazine without knowing the political meaning. So I've seen classic skinhead looks on mild college kids. There was a young couple in my neighborhood who had full Nazi gear for riding their big motorcycle. They would always smile and wave, non-threateningly, and didn't seem to understand what they were doing.
I have heard people say that Japanese denim is really good quality. That they bought and use all of the original Levi's machines, and make good Americana pieces. Do you know if this is true? Are you familiar with any brands?
