    Looks like Uniqlo is continuing on its quest to become the Japanese Gap, which honestly, is not something the world needs more of. Fast Retailing Co, the casual-clothing store operator known for its Uniqlo brand, opened its first large-scale Uniqlo Plus outlet in Osaka’s Shinsaibashi district as part of efforts to improve its brand image…

    Stopped by Beams Street tonight and picked up a t-shirt from Beams-T. It’s the above shirt, of Spanky, from The Wonderful! Design Works. I get a Summer vibe from it. I also got some things at Muji, one of them being a pair of boxer shorts. The funny thing is that they put the boxers…
