Cool concept, but a $78 shirt is insanely over-priced. Surprised

I like the shirts. But not enough to pay 78 dollars.

I was gifted a couple of pricey manga T-shirts from a Japanese family I knew back when I was in college (the shirts had images from Ashita no Joe, Jungle Emperor Leo and Dororo on them). They are/were pretty cool-looking, but they haven't been lasting very long (the Dororo shirt literally fell apart after 2 years). I don't know why Japanese clothes are so expensive, since the quality doesn't really seem that much better than clothes here in the US. I brought a couple of Japanese friends to shop for clothes at a thrift store a few years ago, and they were literally bug-eyed that they could buy quality used clothes for less than a dollar.

Lacoste is pretty much a designer high street brand so its fairly reasonable in relations to the market competitors and is a hell of a lot cheaper than branks like D&G, Dior etc. Unfortunately you are paying for the brand.
Also Japan as always had a reputation for being an expensive place to live mainly because it has to do a fair amount of importing and its economy isn't doing so well - not that many other counties are ha.
