Kelty Japan makes a lot of great looking, small, functional bags - they've been working with Beams for a few years now. When they get together they make even better looking bags, but we still can't get them over here, maybe soon. This camo day back looks great and I really like the simple design, leather accents and size.

Probably the best part about Beams Plus is their shirting. The quality of fabrics, build and fit is very difficult to beat for its price range. There are a handful of good American shirt makers, but Beams Plus might be doing it better; from the silhouette to the quality. We just received two gingham shirts for the spring which look great. Again the fit is spot on, and especially the royal blue option looks perfect.

Our friends from Sweden recently stopped by Odin in New York to set up their first real Our Legacy retail experience. Taking their aesthetic and the look of their stores at home, Our Legacy have taken over a portion of the downtown shop and converted it into a nice little space. Featuring their new spring collection, Odin plays host to probably the biggest selection of Our Legacy in North America this season.

Somewhat on the opposite side of the Nike's I posted last week, these ACG Terra+ trainers look great also. I like the off-white/bone color and the ACG color touches, shape and fabric all blend nicely. I'm also a bit of a sucker for a speckled Nike mid-sole, accented nicely by the orange hits. These seem to be popping up in a few European retailers, definitely a nice trainer for the summer.

A Good Proxy

When I first heard of the term, it seemed pretty odd and I didn't think I would have to use a proxy. The more internet scouring and specific my taste got, it was only a matter of time before I needed help buying things from overseas. It's no secret, especially if you read this site, that Japan has an incredible number of exclusive and hard to find products that we'll never see here. So, after some time, I found out about Sharp Service. The cost is not prohibitive, the shipping is quick and the communication is great. I've found things for much cheaper, or that I could never get here with the help of Hide and his team, so I am happy to pass along their info as we've got a lot of emails about proxy help over the years.
