Direct in from Japan to us, and ready to go back out to you. This one has a decent amount of English language texts alongside the Japanese, which is handy. Some absolutely bonkers outdoors stuff in here, very beautifully photographed. As ever we don't do hype, but we expect to sell out.
"A new volume in the personal book series by staff at BEAMS, Japan's leading select shop, is by Shigeru Kaneko, chief buyer at BEAMS Plus, who has attracted attention worldwide for his clothes-making techniques based on his deep knowledge of vintage fashion.
The book features 99 topics, including the collection of extremely rare classic outdoor items that are the source of Kaneko's ideas. Through explanations of the items based on Kaneko's extensive knowledge, interviews with the Outdoor Recreation Archive, "the world's top outdoor reference room" located in the Utah State University library, and conversations with three industry figures with deep knowledge of classic outdoor fashion, this book is a veritable bible for those on an expedition (exploration/adventure) into the world of classic outdoor fashion."
