For the 2 way waist bag.

Headporter only got navy color whereas yoshida website got black, grey, green

Headporter navy looks like black though?

Serious? I see namba, Shinsaibashi and orange street have stores.

Osaka have much lesser places selling Porter bags.. less designs also

Taoyuan airport got Head Porter?
I don’t remember seeing it during my January trip.

For porter Japan, can expect 30% markup from japan price when I visit there Kira Chika store.
For porter international, I would advise you to get outside rather than Taoyuan airport as it’s a small counter with limit design and mostly clearance of old stock when I was there.

Suggest don't waste time with Porter International (made in China)... the finishing and quality pales in comparison with Yoshida Porter (made in Japan) Just compare the nylon of the Tanker series, stitching is also impeccable.

Was reading the other day how Porter International came about.
they started helping to make stuff for Yoshida Porter, then realised its good money and decide to create their own "porter international".
Japan's porter can't do **** because they were not registered outside japan.

Regardless, i did go and check out Taiwan's porter international when i was there. they blatantly copied the designs but used lousy material. Have the cheek to sell at the same price level too. Shameless.

Actually porter japan quality also quite bad, velcro came off quite easily and metal rings paint will come off easily

Not sure about velcro because mine still last after 4 years.
The metal ring coating is supposed to come off for the rustic look. They even sell spares with the coating already off a bit.
