Free & Easy Magazine

Free & Easy have been around since the 1990s and are widely recognised as one of the go tos in the Japanese market. The magazine has a large cult following and the August issue is yet another must-have.

This month's Free & Easy is the 2012 Summer Ivy Handbook, covering all the warm weather essentials in the Ivy League prep wardrobe, from the pull over button-down shirt to safari jackets and bermuda shorts. There is a behind-the-scenes feature on Japanese brand Beams, and an exhaustive guide to almost every type of shoe imaginable, and as ever, the issue takes a look at everything from cars and bicycles to food and drink.
