Van Jacket

I just found out about this cool brand called Van Jacket, which features a Japanese-y über-preppy aesthetic.    Heard of the book 'Take Ivy' yet?  This recently re-issued bible of the Ivy League style was written by three gentlemen who were a part of this company back in the sixties: Shosuke Ishizu, Paul Hasegawa, and Toshiyuki Kurosu.  For all you prepsters out there this is worth a little look-see http://www.van.co.jp/htmls/top.html
