Beams Plus

 

Ivy Style, Reimagined in Tokyo

Beams Plus isn’t retro. It’s revival — turned inside out and cut with precision.

Launched in 1999 by Tokyo’s Beams Group, Beams Plus takes Ivy League, prep, and vintage American workwear and rebuilds it from the ground up. OCBDs, varsity sweaters, five-pocket cords — all filtered through Japanese craftsmanship and obsessive detail.

It’s Ivy style without irony. Tradition, but smarter. And at Claymore Shop, it fits right in — a global point of view grounded in timeless American taste.

 

For the Guy Who Knows the Code

Our clients know how an OCBD collar should roll. They’ve worn Hamilton shirts, Ring Jacket tailoring, and Alden loafers. Beams Plus is the next chapter — not louder, just sharper.

 

Why Claymore clients choose Beams Plus:

 

  • Ivy sensibility, Tokyo execution
  • Garments with heritage — not nostalgia
  • Shapes that feel familiar, cuts that feel right now
  • Layers that mix East and West without trying too hard
  • Quiet intelligence in every detail

 

Beams Plus is Ivy refined — thoughtful, precise, never costume.

Nothing Random. Everything Considered.

Beams Plus builds with intent — and you can feel it in every detail.

 

🔹 Fabrics:

  • Japanese-woven poplins, selvedge denim, brushed flannel
  • Proprietary blends for knitwear: Shetland, mohair, merino

 

🔹 Fit Philosophy:

  • Tailored, not tight
  • Meant to layer: shirts under knits, jackets over crews
  • Designed for motion — not mannequin formality

 

🔹 Construction Notes:

  • OCBDs with authentic collar roll and box pleats
  • Saddle-shoulder sweaters for movement and drape
  • Trousers with interior finishing inspired by classic tailoring

 

🔹 Color & Pattern:

  • Goldenrod, olive, ochre, tobacco, navy — no neons
  • Jazz records and prep-school photos, not trend reports
  • Ivy textures, not theatrical costume

 

There’s depth here — and our clients know how to wear it.

 

Ivy Staples, Tokyo Sharp

 

🔹 Washed Oxford OCBD (White or Blue)


The collar roll is perfect. The weight is ideal. The shirt you’ll wear 3x a week without thinking.

 

🔹 Five-Pocket Corduroy Trousers


Mid-rise, tapered, collegiate feel. Clients wear them with Alden loafers, Baracuta jackets, and a knowing nod.

🔹 Shaggy Crewneck Sweater


Varsity warmth with texture that gets better with every wear. Pairs well with flannel trousers or under a field jacket.

🔹 Cotton Rugby Shirt


Bold block stripes, twill collar, and heavy enough to hold shape. An easy upgrade from a hoodie.

🔹 Japanese Military Chore Coat


Sharp enough for downtown. Rugged enough for up north. Always layered over Hamilton flannel or knit polos.

These are the pieces that don’t need a logo. They work.
