The situation is the same here. I have been taking advantage of the weak dollar recently to order clothes from the United States. A pair of Levi's jeans runs close to 100 Euro, whereas in the United States they can be had for 30 dollars or so.

Jeans by Carhartt, which in Germany is a streetwear brand popular with the post-Autonomist Antifa left (among other subcultures) are cheaper in the United States where it is a brand of work clothing.

Even with the very high postage costs, it makes more sense to order clothing from the U.S.
