Free & Easy
Free & Easy is a Japanese magazine publication that focuses on fashion trend, inspiration, style & archive/vintage. If you want to know about denim they do it! If you want to know about Red Wing boots they do it! They do everything you can possibly think of in regards to American Men's Style cataloging everything from from jackets to boots/shoes to denim/ jewelry to canvas bags/ office furniture to kitchenware and so on. This is the everything men's fashion publication to styles of past, present & future. The magazine covers it all and really rocks!
They even have a museum in Tokyo archiving museum piece vintage clothing and reproduction sales. They also have a great section of American Heritage style books and many works featuring Steve McQueen. He "Dons" many covers of this publication.
I have listed their website below, but is mostly in Japanese. If you live in NY the only place you can get this is at Kinokuniya Bookstore on 6th Ave between 40th & 41st streets. e
