Free & Easy — October 2008, Vol.11 No.120 Goodbye to the Safe Man — the issue arguing against playing it safe with how you dress. This copy was sold new at J.Crew, back when J.Crew stocked Free & Easy in its stores. The original J.Crew $45.00 price sticker is still on the back cover. Enlarged special-price issue (980 yen). Red Wing back-cover ad. Free & Easy (East Communications, Tokyo, 1998–2016) was Japan's leading magazine on American heritage, workwear and Ivy style, known for its dense photography and product catalogs. It ceased publication in 2016 and back issues are increasingly hard to find. Text is in Japanese; the photography speaks for itself. Condition: Very Good. Original J.Crew $45.00 price sticker on back cover (provenance: sold at J.Crew). Light shelf wear. Please see all photos. All pages present, no writing. Ships from Illinois within 2 business days, bagged and boarded in a rigid mailer. No need to wait weeks for shipping from Japan. Combined shipping on multiple issues. I have other 2008–2012 issues listed; see my other items.
