Lightning Vol.387 "Baseball is America"
Japanese players such as Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto are making a huge impact in MLB. It goes without saying that not just Japan, but the entire world has become captivated by baseball. Not that we're simply jumping on the bandwagon, but this month's feature is baseball. Not "yakyū" — the theme here is specifically "baseball". Baseball, which was born in America in the early 19th century, made its way to Japan in 1872 and is now beloved as Japan's national sport. However, what we at Lightning want to focus on is baseball as a "symbol of American culture". We've decided to feature baseball from the fashion perspective of American casual style.
Baseball caps, stadium jackets, baseball shirts… all of these products originate from baseball. If you look around at the goods offered by brands and shops familiar to American casual enthusiasts, you'll notice that even if the numbers aren't huge, these items always feature in the line-up every single season. In other words, baseball is something close to home for American casual style. Bearing this in mind, those baseball caps and baseball shirts you've been picking up without much thought until now should start to look a whole lot more fashionable.
So, why not take another look at baseball through Lightning's lens? Also this month, we're unveiling anniversary items celebrating Fellows' 35th brand anniversary, plus a look at the latest models from Indian Motorcycle. This month, too, we're bringing you "America" in abundance!
