jackets fetch 1000 dollars. is this true? and what would be the common
size of jean to purchase. what other items from the us would sell well
in japan and where would use sell such items ?

I saw a canteloupe for $20 in a Japanese supermarket; perhaps you could
bring a bag full of those.

Honestly, between rich countries with open economies, arbitrage is probably
best left to the professionals. Once in a while you can do okay, but it's
easy to lose your shirt.

More like around 10,000 yen for new 501s, which is closer to $100. Prices
will be higher for used vintage styles.

Designer bags (Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada, etc.) might be a way to make a
bit of money if you really know the market and what styles haven't been
launched in Japan yet. Where to sell? At pawn shops I guess.

Unless it was a Levis Silver Tab shirt, in which case you could sell it
before you lost it.
