“Alexander Yamaguci was born in Kagurazaka, Tokyo. At age 10, he started customizing vintage denims with his mother’s sewing machine. When he visited the U.S. years later to surf, he was captivated by Los Angeles and decided to relocate. Alexander launched Alex B, the forerunner of Alexander Yamaguchi, in 2001.” This season he introduces his take on the classic cotton henley. The henley is 100% cotton and is all made in the USA. This piece is available at AssemblyNewYork and the collection can be seen at AlohaRag.

The hardest part to get right in an online shop is the photography – as this picture shows. Despite this shot, you’re just gonna have to trust us when we say this piece is a doozy. It’s subtle enough for those days when you can’t be bothered with big style statements and has just enough functionality to make it wearable into winter. You can also be sure that you won’t run into too many folks wearing it. (Assembly)
