Starting Simple: The Uniqlo Review Today, we are doing a little comparison. We’re looking at Uniqlo’s impossibly priced $50 Japanese selvedge denim jeans versus a very famous Japanese brand‘s $160 selvedge denim jeans versus Levi’s $260 selvedge jeans. What the heck is going on? Because there are huge price discrepancies, why aren’t we all just shopping at Uniqlo? I also said it was good, but is it actually good? The…
