Ultra Light Down Jacket

Uniqlo at the source: after tax-free it's ~30-40% below US prices, with Japan-exclusive lines — a light, packable buy that never busts luggage limits.

Price: 7990 JPY (Uniqlo Japan store price, 2026 season)

Where to buy: Uniqlo Ginza 12-floor flagship or Asakusa store — both have dedicated tax-free counters; check the limited-run UT graphic tees only sold in Japan.

• Japan gets colors, collabs (e.g. anime UT lines) and 'Japan Masterpiece' cuts that never ship abroad; sizing runs one size smaller than US/EU cuts.
• Savings vs India are moderate (~₹2,000 after tax-free) — the real win is vs US pricing and the Japan-only range.
• In-store stock swings seasonally; down is heavily discounted in late winter.
