I just have fond memories of the old days when the first UK exposure to Bape was through Ian Brown and UNKLE. Back then Bape, Wtaps and Neighborhood were making really cool street wear…..then Kanye happened and Nigo went a bit nuts.

Thanks, @Chris!
I can now see what you mean when you say not what you expected…
Do you think the book covers too broad a scope?
-
I don't think so. It's a reasonably quick read, and while it doesn't go into exhaustive detail, that's not really the book's intent. It's for mass consumption by normal people, not a scholarly treatise for fashion historians. I'm not sure narrowing the focus and increasing the depth of detail would make for a better book.

Also have this on its way to me, looking forward to reading it.

picked up the kindle edition just now.
I have the Kindle version, too. Just a quick warning- it has some minor formatting issues; nothing really serious, but mildly annoying.

Gotta love the near instant gratification of Amazon Prime:

I got a copy of The Republic of Thieves signed by Scott Lynch. I need to get around to reading it, as it ended up in boxes before I got through it.
I really enjoyed The Lies of Locke Lamora, which was the first book in the series. If you haven't read it, and are into your fantasy epics, then it's worth a look.

The Gentleman Bastard series is pretty damn entertaining. I didn't love The Lies Of Locke Lamorra, mostly for a couple of stylistic quirks by Lynch. The subsequent two books, on the other hand, I liked much more.
This reminds me that I've gotta stop reading unfinished, still in progress series. Waiting for the next book always sucks. Looking at you in particular, Patrick Rothfuss…

Tell me about it. It's like he's having the opposite of a race with George R. R. Martin.

Is he really wearing Pike Brothers on the cover?

Bought this in Vancouver for about $5 Canadian (out of print) and although I don't read French the pics and bits I get are very cool. I'm a big fan of Hudson's Bay blankets so I am very excited to have this book.
