NIPPON PREP BY BEAMS PLUS

Beams, which started as a small shop in the Harajuku district of Tokyo in 1976, has since grown into a significant retail force in Japan. The men's line, Beams Plus, which was launched in 1999, is the rugged, heritage- and ivy inspired range from the company. Above some pics from their SS 2013 collection.

"STAY PREPPY MY FRIENDS"

Ivy Prepster is just a few years old, the brand has grown to satisfy everything you'll need to complete your collegiate-inspired outfit. The brand is inspired by the resurgence of the tie in the male wardrobe and the modern prep movement, Ivy Prepster neckwear reflects the past, the present and future of knit ties. They reflect classic tie patterns, such as stripes and dots, as well as sweater-like argyle and fair isle motifs. Every Ivy Prepster knit tie is designed in the USA and handmade in Shanghai. Boy, I like that navy tie with anchor. "Stay Preppy my friend" they say at Ivy Prepster.
