A few more days in Tokyo, a few more snaps. We've been visiting a lot of retail spots, in and around our interviews and meetings. The last couple days were spent in Okayama and Osaka, so there will be some more interesting snaps from our trip coming up soon.

—01. Crew on the move, Daikanyama.
It's been another couple of days in Tokyo and the schedule is picking up. We spent all of yesterday with BEAMS, meeting with Kenny of Beams Plus and a rare interview with Mr. Yo Shitara, the president of the legendary company. Besides a handful of interviews done, and more to come, we're trying to see as many shops as possible and go to as many restaurants with no English menus as we can.

Another issue has come and gone, perhaps its still coming for some of you, but it should arrive soon. We're proud about the pages we've put together again and we couldn't do it without our team, our contributors and our friends. The process is just as strenuous as ever, but it was nice to finally put our latest issue on the shelf last month, so to celebrate we had a nice dinner party at Nelson the Seagull, who put together a wonderful three course meal for us. Thanks again to everybody involved in making the issue, and of course to everyone who takes the time to pick themselves up a copy.

—01. Woody Shirt & Cruiser Shirt.
This project was inspired by a feature about Woolrich Woolen Mills we did for the fourth issue of the magazine. The story focused on Daiki Suzuki, the brand's designer for the first ten seasons, and Mark McNairy, his successor. Following on from that we decided to make two special Woolrich Woolen Mills pieces - the Cruiser Shirt from Daiki's time at the helm, and the Woody Shirt from Mark's first collection. Produced in two weights of navy blue wool, and offset by mother of pearl buttons, the shirts offer a classic aesthetic and showcase what Woolrich is best known for: beautifully made American wool.

From the paper to the plates to the pigmentation, printing a publication is a pretty portly process. We've spent a significant amount of time at the printers in the last few years on press check, an interesting and enlightening experience that not too many people get to see. This time around we shot some footage and made this little behind the scenes video of the printing of Issue 04. Printed at Hemlock Printers in Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

—01. Looking over the first forms.
—02. Illustrated Examples, Makr and more...
It feels like it's been a long time coming, or maybe it's just been a long month. Either way, Issue 04 is finally just around the corner. It will finish printing early this week and will be on the shelves only a week later. I'm extremely excited about our 4th installment, both for the beautiful photography and the great stories, but also because the stress levels can go back down a notch from being dangerously high, to moderately high – which is normal at least. If you haven't already seen the covers, they were previewed on Julien Strangler last week, have a look here.

With our 4th issue around the corner, we're excited about the strong group of contributors the magazine now has. The stories and images in the upcoming issue are really exciting, and I can't wait to see it on the shelf. In the meantime however, Patrick Long, who has contributed illustrations to our latest installment of 'Illustrated Examples' has whipped up a couple illustrations of our staff here at Inventory. As a little preview of his style, and a heads up that issue 04 will be arriving soon, enjoy.
Inventory, Patrick Long
