Kinokuniya Los Angeles?

I got my copy at the New York store.

There is also a Costa Mesa store which is probably closer to you.

Going down to Costa Mesa to pick it up, thanks for the information.

Picked up a new Free & Easy the other day- it seems to have a slightly different format now, with more sartorialist-style people-on-the-street shots. Also, the first time I can remember seeing in F&E or Lightning, some women wearing nice denim well.

Thought this might be enjoyed by some here:

Random anecdote...I'm signed up on a Japanese-English Translator website that sources it's work to workers on the internet and I recently found a request for translation by "Lightning Magazine"....Interesting....

Just picked this up at Kinokuniya on 6th Ave. Tons of great photos of original denim from the 1870's on. They have five copies left and also just got in the new free n easy.

I was at Kinokuniya NYC on Saturday and they had at least ten copies available, if anyone is interested.

Heads up the latest issue of mens file is posted on their site. Check it out. It looks like another great issue

^dito...but too bad you don't understand one single word! pics are making up for it i guess

[cajun22]

yup, thank goodness for the quality pics. they do have English words scattered along the way although very little, the brands and model numbers are thankfully in English, browsing thru, I noticed that the japanese tend to favor straight fit or straight slim, there is very little skinny fit featured in the mags. maybe it's just the mag. they also tend to wear their denim on the loose side if the cutting of the jeans is slimmer.

not that I'm complaining, I like to wear my jeans slightly on the looser side as well.

I don't have a scanner but I will probably be able to take some pics of the interesting articles /pics up on this thread to give sufu readers a rough idea of what these mags are all about before they purchase them.

[almostnice]

nice little article about the Osaka Five for those who are able to read german:

Cajun - nice collection!

is there any way we might be able to get some scans of the Lightning T Shirt book?

Particularly the kuniyoshi-san feature? I believe he's featured in that one, showing his vintage t-shirt collection.
