Want to one up that mate who's had a reprinted copy of Take Ivy on their coffee table for the past year? Or impress the other Throwing Fits listeners on the discord? Or do you just like beautiful, timeless menswear? Debuting in 1954 (originally Otoko no Fukushoku), Men's Club magazine functioned as an instruction manual for how Japanese men should dress in Western classic, preppy, and Ivy styles.
This Dress Guide special is all about suits and jackets, covering how to coordinate blazers, suits, jackets, ties and shirts for all occasions. An essential resource.
Jokes aside though we would definitely recommend checking out Take Ivy if you haven't already, there's a fantastic podcast series that delves into it on Articles of Interest. We'd also recommend W. David Marx's book Ametora: How Japan Saved American Style.
Got a few more copies of Men's Club to share soon, a Dansen Special on Mens Shoes and a some copies Street Memo to follow.
