ACL brings images from the Ace Hotel Pop Up Shop at Shinjuku Isetan in Japan. “The burgeoning Pacific Northwest hotel group opened a holiday pop up shop late last week on the 5th floor of the Shinjuku Isetan. If you have ever been to that Isetan store you will know, that baby is a monster with a pretty amazing variety of some of the best the world has to offer. The Ace shop looks great and I’m sure will be a big hit with the Japanese.”

MW has launched his online ACL Shop stocked with exclusive goods including this bag for your smokes (and other things). “Made from waxed canvas, this bag is based directly on a U.S. Army issue WWII era bag given to GIs to hold cigarettes. Large enough to hold a camera, charger and other small items, these bags are perfect for stowing your gear while traveling.” Made in the USA, playa.

ACL previews the Isetan Store Spring 2009 Catalog with great looks from a variety of designers that speak “American Trad.” “The Isetan in Shinjuku is one of the most impressive stores in the world, a labyrinth of materialistic pursuits. In fact, the men’s shoe section nearly made me cry. These clothes below might not be identified or available for purchase to most of us, but I thought they are great from a styling / photography perspective.”

M. Williams (aka ACL) loves to visit factories in the same way that some people love hitting rock concerts. He recently visited the Post O’Alls Factory on one of their slow days. “The day I visited the factory Post had just wrapped up a huge production run which explains why many people are not pictured sewing  in these photos. It is also the reason that the factory looks a slightly more disheveled. I personally love the POST O’ALLS collection, so it was a treat to see everything being made. Most of the goods are sold in Japan, but you can buy POST in New York at Barneys and Steven Alan.”
