Beams Plus is the heritage menswear line of Japanese retailer Beams, launched in 1999 and based in Tokyo. It reinterprets mid-century American Ivy, workwear, military and outdoor clothing using Japanese fabrics and slimmer, contemporary proportions. Staples include button-down oxford shirts, chino and fatigue trousers, varsity and quilted liner jackets, Shaggy Dog knits and six-panel caps. Collections are seasonal and archive-driven rather than trend-led, and the label works regularly with footwear and outerwear makers. It sells via Beams stores in Japan and international stockists including SSENSE and End.

Does Beams Plus run big or small?
Beams Plus runs small. Most US/EU shoppers should size up one from their usual size (occasionally two if they are tall or broad), and check the brand's cm measurements rather than trusting the S/M/L label. Beams Plus uses Japanese sizing, so garments typically feel about one size smaller than a comparable US or European piece, with narrower shoulders and shorter sleeves, even though recent seasons have introduced roomier, boxier cuts.
