Introduction

Greetings,

This blog was created for like minded individuals who share a passion for quality Classic American Sportswear, shoes and accessories past and present. The goal here is to hopefully come across as resourceful and not as one's own indulgence. As of late the Classic American Sportswear market has been lacking in quality and tradition that once made it so iconic the world over. 

Thanks to a handful of young brands and designers here in the US that spirit for making quality sportswear and workwear lives on. Lastly you will notice a lot of references to brands and retailers in Japan. Most of you will already be aware that certain Japanese brands and retailers have been carrying the torch for years!
