Oh fuck really? I just ordered vol. 47 in another browser tab, I'm buying the old one?

That, is frustrating.

[Mr Black]

if anyone wants a copy of the camping edition (can't remember what number it is) minus the Denim Jacket supplement, drop us a line.

What are the Requirements for getting featured in Lightning magazine ? do they ask you ? do you submit & ask if they would feat your jeans ?

Thanks'

They would come to you... they don't accept submissions.. they unfortunately never have.

They have access to SO many insane worn in jeans in Japan that get thrown at them from every manufacturer already.

Every brand has a vault filled with their own jeans that have been worn in every way imaginable, and when they do brand features they normally go through the newest jeans and shoot what they feel fits for the next issue.

Yup. Ｉ've got it. It's not bad. The first 2/3 is dedicated to showing different model years, primarily for Lee, Levis, and Wrangler. The last 1/3 is mostly of Japanese repro brands. It's only about 130 pages. Personally, I like the Lightning denim mag better.

[kiya]

free international shipping as well?

No, sorry.. that would mean we'd be giving away the magazine for free....

Anyone know if the new Denim Indigo Master is out?

[Baeyer-Drewson]

For any Australian sufu'ers out there; Kinokuniya at TGV, Sydney has two volumes of Lightning Magazine in store, and multiple copies of each, in the Japanese magazine section. One is the Denim Indigo Master Vol 47 that is an instant classic, and the other is Denim Style Book 2 Vol 28. They both retail for ~AU$20.

I virtually live in Kinokuniya so I'd be happy to proxy these for people for the cost of the book, postage and legwork.

[Baeyer-Drewson]

Can anyone from Sufu ship 1 magazine to Sydney Australia? PM me please...thank you

Check out Kinokuniya in The Galleries Victoria. On shelf in the Japanese mag section...

[mr.invincible]

if you're a real mccoy's fan, the Mccoy edition is pretty badass. soo many clean jackets

[kiya]

New Lightning Magazine, American Dreamin' with Flat Head, Real Japan Blues, and Googies.

I see some coverage of the Flat Head party at Self Edge..

I see PeteRok, Jaime, Dick Danger, TAYS, Sonny, Boxthor, Doc, Clay, Demitra, and somebody else from Sufu getting his bandana signed...

Also, the shirts that will take the place of FH's chambray for 2009, their selvedge herringbone shirts..

[ygoldy]

Anyone know where to get Lightning in Toronto?

[Dick Danger]

Wow, gonna have to buy that issue.

[poly800rock]

dammit, wish i knew you had lightning, would have just paid for a copy with my order

[Conie Jeans]

definitely yes, but sometime it take ages till its arrive in Sydney

[iamstarwars]

From the Warehouse blog.

[pwing]

i just got these in the mail.

[fur]

where did you order from?

[ChuckO]

You can get them from Amazon Japan. I get 2 or 3 issues every now and again and it costs about $50 each time including shipping. I managed to create an account somehow. Here's the new denim style magazine link.

[kiya]

$50 each? Jesus, that's quite a bit.

We're gonna start selling them this weekend on our site for 25% less than that shipped if you're in the US.

No, $50 for 2 or 3 and also includes shipping from Japan.

i have ordered many times from amazon japan, the average shipping price for a magazine is around 3200yen, its not too bad when you ordered multiple different magazines at one time, cause the cost on them is only 980yen so under $10USD, just gotta make it worth your while and order a couple different in the same order.
