RUGGED MAN STYLE

SLOW RIDE...TAKE it EASY....FREE AND EASY dat is...

''It's BEEN a log time I shouldn't a left you without a strong rap to step to...'' I had to throughly refocus my efforts and redesign the blog. Plus some personal concerns kept me busy... So I hope you like the redesign! Anyway, thru various resources ( I will single out the great menswear blogs, A Continuous Lean as well as Mr. Crew, love em'! ) on the web I have recently become a huge fan of the Japanese magazine FREE and EASY. I know I am late to the party but nobody ever said I was ahead of the curve. ( well maybe, I was wearing most of this stuff years ago, but never thought it was anything special, just old clothes, shows you what I know! lol!) But In a short amount of time I have amassed ( as I generally do when I become a fan of something I want to literally devour it, which is why I watch my obsessions VERY carefully) 20 or more issues which I generally drool over whenever I need a little style re charge.

It is basically a catalogue of vintage americana, seen from a Japanese perspective. Over in the land of the rising sun this style is more then a trend, it's an entire way of life. KOOL! Even though I can understand a word of this magazine, It is worth having just for the great pics. If you are into vintage clothes, motorcycles, houses, cars heck they even feature ''rugged'' dogs and food! Talk about focus!! American magazines should take note of the in depth coverage, and what I (assume ) are great articles. GQ, are you listening? Anyway if you are feelin' this stuff get yourself some Free and Easy!...''Slow RIDE do, do, do TAKE it eassy..do do do...''
