In John Lofgren.

John is a californian native who lived in Japan since a long time now.

In the country of the best vintage reproduction, Mr Lofgren is a reference, you just have to take 

a look at his incredible shop named Speedway and his brand John Lofgren & Co. which is 

surely one of the best on the market.
