Cool shot. Signal vest in particular looks great on him.

He should capitalize on the publicity by changing his forum handle to MrVikingBear.

glad to see desu in it! fella deserves a mention!

Seriously, congrats Desu! And glad to see my MF Vest getting some proper love.

[pomata]

I love desu's fits, great pic in the magazine!

[ethandesu]

Thanks all! Lost - I'll save the Mr Viking Bear moniker for bad jokes from my family. The first thing mentioned by my female friends who have seen it is how....ahem.... excited I seem to be to have my picture taken. Way to go Samurai for best presenting a man's goods! Seriously though, just a trick of the camera.

Thanks Lando for the vest! Working on a few more pieces to make it feel more at home in my wardrobe as we speak.

On the thread of Japanese mags, I have a considerable library if anyone is looking for specific scans. Real McCoy's catalogues back to the late 90's, Evis Books to the same, random Free & Easy and Lihtnings since around '05, and then a whole heap more on tailored men's clothing, such as Men's EX, Leon, Gentry at al. Happy to take photos if there are any particular scans or editions wanted.

Got the Lightning Tee (Vol.84) Edition

It's got some amazing examples of vintage and modern Tees. It's also got an interesting section on reversible and champion brand ones.

Since this is the magazine thread, I thought I'd give everyone a head's up that men's file has their 3rd issue up on their site. I can't wait to pick up a hard copy

[fardin]

thanks for the head´s up.

wow looks like a real cool issue

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I dunno if it's already been covered but does anybody know what pair is at the cover of the "Denim Buyers Guide"?

Could it be some kind of Lees/Lepros? The rivets are pretty remarkable.

[dr.house]

The rivets are pretty remarkable.

...just like the crotch rivet Lee 101b imo.

[aho]

[fardin]

[aho]

Posted a few more pictures in the LVC thread....needless to say, it's a treasure trove of information that should be a standard in any collection...Can't wait to see more from Mike!

[fardin]
