Lightning Magazine Thread

[n0torious]

This is a true story, i've experienced it first hand.

I'm curious, which one did you try? My favorites have to be the Buffalo or Amarillo.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but:

I just got ahold of the Denim Indigo Master magazine easily. I went to my local Mitsuwa Marketplace and asked the attached Sanseido bookstore to order it for my from amazon.jp. It came within a few weeks for about 10 USD, as opposed to buying it direct off amazon.jp and paying ridiculous sums for shipping.

If anybody has anything specific they'd like me to scan, I'd be happy to oblige. It was a great buy!

(ps, even if I'm 100 years behind everyone else, I'm realllly excited to get my hands on it. )

^ congrats man, $10 is the best deal i've heard of so far.

but it seems like every japanese bookstore around here in LA seem to carry stacks of them now for about $14 each. took them a while though.

From another thread..

RobZ and I checked out this issue in our local Mistuwa Marketplace (Also ordered copies of Denim Indigo Master there) . Noticed Self Edge's Super Slub shirt. Its great that Self Edge and Blue In Green are getting magazine time in Japan.

Nice spread Kiya!

Got september issues of Lightning and free and easy. The free & easy is really dope. The new Dad's style, and shows japanese americana fashion mags and what they were covering in the 60s 70s and 80s. The newest lightning mag is ok, doesn't focus too much on denim etc, more is dealing with outdoor activities and gear.

Saw a book at my kinokunoya called "History of Japanese Denim" if you can read it, check it out.

also can anyone post the ISBN for that new denim special book and other good denim magazines? It's easier to find that way. thanks.

I feel like such a loser geekin out over a magazine about jeans, but it's worth the feeling. I love this thing. Are there any other magazines that are similar, you think? I saw some evisu magazines in kinokuniya but they didn't look that cool, so i didn't get any.

It's called History of Japan Jeans ISBN：978-4930956071

Kinokuniya or other reliable bookstores can order it directly from the publisher, Nissen Media (webpage not working now http://www.nissenmedia.com/books/index.html)

You can also browse through it at Blue in Green in Soho. Ask Gordon.

Does this one have any info on the jacket that Serge and Duck have? And if anyone's reproducing that?

[coleslawyum]

Looks like its going to be a series. Anyway this months issue has a lot of cool new products. As usual, I can't seem to get enough of all the denim, leather, flannel etc. etc. featured here.

[salaami]

[fur]

[Florian.FloC]

They're store copies, but there is a store in the city (midtown, right across from Bryant Park on 6th Avenue) that does have copies of this available...

just came across some back issues of this mag today, pretty cool (even for a non denim nerd like me).

anyone with vol 155 that can translate something? on p199 there's a (levi) strauss black leather jacket with plaid lining... what's it say / where to cop?

(even for a non denim nerd like me).

What kind of nerd are you? It's cool, no one will throw you in a pool here.

[__CB__]

probably a superawkward one, if anything. nice avatar btw.

[Turntabloid]

just grabbed my #174 issue incl. the denim jacket special at kino sf.

makes it worth to buy the issue, while most regular issues are worthless in my opinion.

too much eating and other stuff wasting the paper.

i also grabbed issue #28 - denim style book vol. 2 - nice to have!

Does Lightening produce an Indigo Master edition every year? If they do, is it about time for it to be released? It seems to be about a year since the last one came out.
