i tryed to fill out the members form for the site but it appears to be for people who live in japan only. I did not see a section where it asked what country & the zip code section is kinda different. thanks.

more leather goods

tanner natural leather coasters

converse addicts white canvas (size 10.5 or 11)

natural leather mocs and or shoes (size 10.5)

red wings natural leather boots (gotta check sizing cuz they off i heard)

more shirts from japan

a new pair of japanese denim (samurai, eternal or iron heart) shit all of them actually

^they feel like they are loopwheeled but i dont know for sure though. After a few washes they twist so they could be. (The peak'd yellow shirts feel/wear a lot like the samurai shirts so they could be.) They have great construction, quality is up there like the other japanese lines i got. I got them from rakuten earthmarket i think.

of the shirts the saddlemen fit the smallest, the peakd yellow fit like the samurai shirts. the entry sg shirts fit somewhere inbetween the saddlemen & the samurai shirts, even though all the shirts are tagged XL, (except for one of the peakd yellow shirts tagged XXL)

typical japanese fitting. All shirts are tagged made in japan.

http://www.amazon.com/Take-Ivy-Shosuke-Ishizu/dp/1576875504/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282842968&sr=8-1

Product Description

Described by The New York Times as, “a treasure of fashion insiders,” Take Ivy was originally published in Japan in 1965, setting off an explosion of American-influenced “Ivy Style” fashion among students in the trendy Ginza shopping district of Tokyo. The product of four sartorial style enthusiasts, Take Ivy is a collection of candid photographs shot on the campuses of America’s elite, Ivy League universities. The series focuses on men and their clothes, perfectly encapsulating the unique academic fashion of the era. Whether lounging in the quad, studying in the library, riding bikes, in class, or at the boathouse, the subjects of Take Ivy are impeccably and distinctively dressed in the finest American-made garments of the time.

Take Ivy is now considered a definitive document of this particular style, and rare original copies are highly sought after by “trad” devotees worldwide. A small-run reprint came out in Japan in 2006 and sold out almost immediately. Now, for the first time ever, powerHouse is reviving this classic tome with an all-new English translation. Ivy style has never been more popular, in Japan or stateside, proving its timeless and transcendent appeal. Take Ivy has survived the decades and is an essential object for anyone interested in the history or future of fashion.
