Words

Fellow Canadian and photographer, Vincent Tsang has been traveling around Japan over the holidays. He's visited a handful of cities, shops, regions and people so far, but along his way he'll be capturing some images for the next issue of Inventory magazine. His shots are very clean, nicely composed and give a nice view of Japan in the winter.

—01. Issue 148, February 2011.

Words

While we've just started the new year, somehow the Japanese publications are already producing their February 2011 issues. The latest arrival in the Stockroom is the new issue from Free & Easy. The Japanese Bible of ruggedness always sells quickly, but the latest offering looks at the 'Rugged Ivy' way of life. Keeping with Free & Easy's 'all rugged' ways, its another strong mix of product, craftsmanship and styled looks.

Happy New Year

—01. Goodbye 2010.

Words

2010 has been a very excited and busy year for us. It's been one of the most fun of my life personally and I want to thank all of those who we worked with over the last year, those who helped us out and those who supported us. We've got lots planned for 2011 and don't plan on slowing down anytime soon. On behalf of Inventory, I'd like to wish the best 2011 to all of our readers, supporters and contributors, and say thanks for a great 2010.

Sassafras Pruner Pants

—01. Pruner pants.

Words

Well, good luck finding these. It won't be easy, but I loved them so I had to blog them anyways. Sassafras have put out a new pant this fall called the 'pruner pant', and it looks great. A mix of cotton and nylon, the reinforced thighs feature a tonal green fabric and a washed green cotton for the rest of the pant. The fit looks great, the greens look amazing and they look unique, yet subtle enough for easy wear - a tough thing to accomplish in today's market.

Converse First String Matchpoint

—01. Available in navy and grey.

Words

Converse is a classic brand and it always will be, but I haven't wanted to wear their products a whole lot in the past. A couple of pairs of Chucks have been in the closet at times, but it has been rare. Lately, I've been more interested since the Addict project came out. Now, I have to say that these Matchpoints are worth a look. The navy blue is a nice clean color and the lining looks like it might be comfortable without socks a couple months down the road.

—02. Blue paisley bandana.

Words

The Real McCoy's don't slack when it comes to accessories. Although their heavyweight sweatshirts and outerwear are arguably their best pieces, their bags, gloves, caps and bandanas are also great. We recently received these Joe McCoy bandanas featuring a red truck pattern and a blue paisley motif. The fast color cotton accessories are a nice touch and an easy item to pick up for $25.
