FAQ
Yes, 100%. Every piece is individually inspected, vetted, and authenticated before being listed. We source directly through verified Japanese partners, vintage suppliers, and trusted private collectors.
Since we specialise in vintage and archive apparel, items vary in condition. We rate each piece accurately in the product description and photograph any notable wear, flaws, or unique vintage patinas. Please review all detailed photos carefully before purchasing.
Japanese sizing often runs smaller or has a different fit profile compared to standard Western sizing. We list both the tagged size and the approximate Western fitment in many of our products that require more accurate description.
We provide exact flat measurements (pit-to-pit and length) clothing descriptions so you can compare them against a garment you already own.
Drop announcements and stock previews are posted on our Instagram (@circulationnation). Turn on post notifications so you don’t miss out on quick-sell pieces.
Since our stock consists of vintage and archive pieces, many garments are rare one-of-ones that cannot be re-sourced once sold. However, if you are looking for a specific item, you can submit a Sourcing Request as we can often source the exact piece or find an equivalent substitute through our Japanese and Korean supplier network.
If you submit a sourcing request and choose to pre-pay to lock in the garment, we offer a 10% discount on the item (deliveries take 2–4 weeks from purchase date).
To submit a request, check out our Sourcing Request Page or send us a direct message on Instagram with the brand, model, and size you are chasing.

Due to the unique, one-of-one nature of vintage and archive items, all sales are final. We do not offer returns or exchanges for change of mind or incorrect sizing. Returns are only accepted if an item has been significantly misrepresented in the listing, in accordance with Australian Consumer Law.
