Free wheelers is super steez for people in their late 20s and above… Most of the patterns are too formal for me, but I got an awesome pullover shirt. They have some really beautiful fabrics!

Steez: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=steez . Not sure which definition is accurate. That said, I am a huge fan of FW and I fit GMB's age profile. The quality, fabrics and designs are stellar! Moreover, they have a broad line of products and they are constantly introducing new designs.

Where is the best place to buy FW? I didn't find much on Rakuten.
Chiba knows more about this than I. That said, there are many places that sell FW, including:

Superflous has hit many of the best there. Also check Genco Clothing. They probably have the best back stock.
Also, plugging フリーホイーラーズ into a Rakuten search will bring up a few more hits. Old Goat for example.

Dealers outside Japan include Hickorees and Pancho and Lefty.
FYI, there's a full list of the Japanese dealers on their site.

@Chiba:
Can't really fathom any reason for FW to be limited to people over 25…...
A lot of their clothes seem to be meant to be tucked, and imo a lot of their pants/trousers vary pretty noticeably from the 5 pocket layout that's the "norm". They all still look great, but for me at least it's a little too "mature", kind of like how mister freedom is.

I own several FW shirts and have never tucked in any of them.
-
Just a personal observation, we all have them! Here's a shot of when I visited their tokyo headquarters!
-
Ben, which FW shirts do you see as meant to be tucked in? I also own several FW shirts but none of them need to be tucked in.
You're right that FW has a few lines of more formalish wear, and that some of it could be harder for a young guy without a lot of grativas to pull off.
But…..
-
FW has a massively deep line-up (deeper than any small clothing brand I'm aware of) so it's not really fair to push them into one box.
-
Tucking your shirt in only weakly correlates with age.

-
I'm not too familiar with the brand so it's entirely possible I'm incorrect, but for instance here's what I saw after a cursory search
The curved hems look to me like you should tuck but again I don't know everything…
And Ed by young I mean really young like teenagers etc; I thought I could have different stuff in my wardrobe but I ended up selling my mister freedom shirts since I just didn't feel like me when tucked!
-

Interesting. The curved hem screams to me do NOT tuck.
-
Dif strokes then… personally, i like my shirts to pretty much mirror the length of my troso
-
That's not a "different strokes" thing, flat bottom hems are intended not to be tucked, this other kind is intended for tucking. That doesn't mean you have to, just sharing the sartorial intent of that kind of a shirt tail.
