Free & Easy
Japanese magazines are way better than ours. Part catalog, part style guide, all Kanji.
The latest issue of Japan’s Free & Easy is all about boots, bikes, and cameras. You don’t even have to be a casual reader of ours to know how that appeals to Launderette. An amazing archive of American men’s fashion, Free & Easy magazine covers characterizations and impressions. James Dean, Surfers, Motorcycles, Workwear… it is another cultures interpretation of our own, and the irony is how much you learn not understanding a word.
If you can find it, it’s not cheap, but nowhere else will you find better reference for leather jackets, desert boots, and dog breeds.
