Tuna Fishing and Demons.

For the first time, I went after tuna with a lure. As soon as they spotted the nabura boiling, the sailors instantly cast, and the sight of the sailors seemed to dub themselves as the pillars that were performing the kata when they faced the demon dance Tsuji Musho (see Pillar Practice, Episode 8). The wake wave of the ship looked like the effect of water breathing. I am sure it was because I had just seen the "Kabuki-za's return".

KAPTAIN SUNSHINE × Barbour

Captain Sunshine x Babur's Field Coat

Ideal collaboration.

The oiled coat I got six years ago from Captain Sunshine and Babur is doing so well that I pull it out whenever the time is right and it's still a staple of my wardrobe. The classic functional details, such as the large gusseted pockets, bold slits on the sides, and double-zip front, match Babur's original fieldwear characteristics to a tee, and I'm amazed that there are few collaborations that go so well together. The natural way of doing things, which does not seem to exist in the in-line line, is just the right point. This classic collaboration has been updated and revived. What has changed since then is the addition of a wool melton hood and pop bi-colors. The material has also been changed to dry wax cotton, so it feels lighter and more comfortable to wear. All the colors were great, but I personally prefer the color in the photo. Off-white "BABUA" is a rarity, I think.

UNLIKELY

Unlikely miniature series

Small is justice.

There is a saying that "big is better than small," but personally, I don't think this saying is necessarily true when it comes to bags. This is because, except for work and travel, I do not carry luggage most of the time. In extreme cases, I even think that the smaller the bag is for daily use, the better. The "Miniature" series bags released by Anne Riceley are based on vintage pieces, but in a much smaller size. The size of the bag is just barely big enough to hold the bare essentials, but in fact, this is enough to carry everything you need, so it's perfectly acceptable! Of course, the bag is also useful as a sub-bag, and each bag comes with a key ring, so you can attach it to other bags like a charm for external customization. The bag is not only "big is not small," but also "a ladle is not an earwig.

NEEDLES.

Needles track pants

Essential pants.

This is always the first item I buy for the new season. These are the "Needles" track pants that I have introduced many times in this "Shopping Addict" column. I have been wearing them almost every day for years, regardless of whether they are in fashion or out of fashion, and even though I already have dozens of pairs, I keep buying more whenever a new color or pattern comes out. Without a doubt, these are the staple pants that have become the core of my styling. This season, I picked the two jacquard patterns you see here for starters. The brown checks and the small pattern of playing cards, both have a calm color scheme that seems easy to match, and the retro mood is completely to my liking. They look like they would go well with knits, tweeds, and other raised winter materials. I can't wait to wear them with my fall/winter clothes!

Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson's book

Luxury time.

During my recent business trip to Paris, I took time out of my schedule to visit two exhibitions. The first was "Rien ne nous y préparait - Tout nous y préparait" by photographer Wolfgang Tillmans at the Centre Georges Pompidou just before it closed for renovations. The exhibition includes a variety of photographs, from portraits to still-lifes to abstract paintings. Personally, I was struck by the naturalistic portraits of musicians from the 90s, which I used to see in magazines at the time. The second was the world's first retrospective of filmmaker Wes Anderson, which was held at the Cinematheque. The content of this exhibition, which also covered his entire career, included costumes and props from all 11 of his films, storyboards with a cute touch, and notebooks filled with his ideas. There were also plenty of items for sale, and I left with a catalog and a can badge to commemorate the event. It was a pity that I had no time to visit all the exhibits, but it was a valuable opportunity for me to see the exhibition, which is not easily realized in Japan.

Shinetsu Godake soon.

Well, it is the season of the "Shinetsu Gogaku Trail Running Race. This year, like last year, I entered the 110km race. I'm excited, but also nervous. After all, I want this to be a fun race. For now, I think I'll be wearing "Mafate 5" by Hoka.

Millet.

Millet Backpack

High performance pack that fits in well with the city.

"Recently, [Millet] has been amazing. Their collections, such as the "Tiffon Phantom" series, which boasts overwhelming breathability and water pressure resistance that surpasses other brands, and the "Trilogy Jolas" series, which is suitable for full-scale alpine climbing, use plenty of cutting-edge technology, and are powerful enough to be fascinating to look at in their own right! The "Trilogy Jolas" series is designed for full-fledged alpine climbing. The Trilogy Sky 25+ is released from the Trilogy series, which pursues fast and light style. The main fabric is a hybrid of black Dyneema® and stretch Dyneema® for superior durability, water resistance, and compressibility, while the BOA system and chest strap allow for a delicate fitting system during activities. The 25L capacity, which can hold a PC and a change of clothes, is also worth mentioning. I also like the clean look of the bag, which blends in well in town. A high-performance backpack that can be used seamlessly from the mountains to the city. This is a backpack that will whet your appetite.

ALTRA

Altra running shoes

Shoes that make running fun.

In my daily running, I tend to wear thin soles. It is not that I have a strong zero-drop orientation, but I can train my legs efficiently, and above all, I enjoy the direct feeling of the ground when I run. One of my favorites was the "Vanish R," a thin-soled lightweight model that used to exist in the "Altra" brand. The stack height is 22mm, and the midsole is made of "EGO," an original foam with excellent resilience. By recognizing the impact of landing, it leads us to a natural form of landing with the entire sole. In addition, by strengthening the flexibility of the lateral direction to enhance a sense of unity with the leg, will allow us to run with excellent stability. This is a fascinating model that truly makes running a fun experience. We hope to wear them out as much as the "Vanish R".

MALIBU SANDALS

Sandals by Malibu Sandals

This is the way to go while it's hot.

"I wear only beesan in summer. It's easier. Strappy sandals with an excellent fit are not bad, but once I get used to the openness and speedy removal of beesandals, even adjusting the straps becomes a hassle. I am such a beesan lover, and this season I am using a model called "Surfrider" by "Malibu Sandals," the first company on the West Coast of the United States. The flexible recycled polyester straps and soft EVA foam footbed make these sandals feel comfortable from the moment you put them on, while the ergonomically designed arch supports the foot. The ergonomic arch support shape also provides excellent grip and comfort for extended periods of time. They are easy to wear, comfortable, and liberating. Although we are gradually feeling the end of summer, they will be our go-to shoes while it's hot.

On Trail Running Shoes

Anyway, the grip is good.

"I'm writing this as I watch the UTMB live feed on the side. Just before the finish line of OCC. When I started watching, Rui (Ueda) was in 4th place, but his position gradually dropped, and in the end, he unexpectedly DNF'd. Since he was in a good position until the middle of the race, his DNF from a stall in the second half is regrettable. With this regretful feeling in my heart, I would like to introduce the "Cloud Ultra 3" trail running shoes from ON. These shoes are great. First and foremost, the grip is great. The new "Missiongrip™" lug pattern has been redesigned to catch all surfaces with precision. Yet, the midsole is made of an original foam that combines excellent cushioning and resilience, and the upper is made of a material that is not only breathable and quick-drying, but also durable. The upper is made of a material that is not only breathable and quick-drying but also durable, allowing you to enjoy long hours on the trail with a light touch. This is a good product that overturns the impression of "ON" on the trail. Please take this opportunity to try them out.

Hot.

When it's this hot, short sleeves and shorts, that's all! It is said to be the hottest summer in history. It is said to be the hottest summer in history, and in the first place, it is only possible in an environment where clothes can be worn. If we don't do something to reduce the use of air conditioning or take some other action, even if it is not unreasonable, we will end up in a naked world one day. Not that it matters, but the world is changing so much that the silver paper package of home-run bars is ending.

Caledoor

Caledor bag

Expansion pack.

Choosing a bag is difficult. Sometimes, no matter what you carry, it just doesn't feel right. There are several directions to take, but "Caledor"'s first daypack was designed for everyday city use. But it is interesting that it does not end there. It is designed to be expandable by attaching an existing bag, such as a satchel, to the back of the pack. However, when such gimmicks are added, the design tends to be clustered together with a rugged, gear-like appearance. The size of about 20 liters is also just right. The 20-liter size is also just right. It is good to use it simply in everyday life and arrange it to your liking when you go on a day hike.

Summer Memories.

August is already over, and I heard that a day with a maximum temperature of 35°C or higher is called a heat wave day, a day with a maximum temperature of 30°C or higher is called a midsummer day, and a day with a maximum temperature of 25°C or higher is called a summer day. It is easy to forget with the recent extraordinary heat, but 30°C or higher means it is summer like crazy. When I was a child, there was something I wanted to do during this time of year. That's what I called going back to my hometown. However, I was born on the west side of Tokyo, which is neither urban nor rural, and most of my relatives were on that side of the city, so I never had a chance to do anything like that. I would have liked to have had a chance to go back to my hometown once, just like a summer vacation. Speaking of summer, there is also free research. I don't remember what I did, but I was the type of person who did all my homework in the last week of school, so it is possible that I didn't do it.... The reason I remember such things may be because I was wearing a "Jaksa" cap every day.

Healing.

I want to use it when summer is over. That's what I thought about the new "Replica Eau de Parfum" that came out from "Maison Margiela" in August. Two types were released, "Ideal One" and "Celestial Whisper," and I personally liked the latter. The latter is a healing type that contains the aromatic smokiness of incense inside the sharp, kin-like impression of aldehydes. Somehow, I imagine incense burning in a quiet temple. I felt that the fragrance made me imagine such a scene, and I think it is not wrong to say that it was inspired by "the fragrance of sacred smoke". Personally, I think it is the perfect scent for the coming season, as it has a quiet and calm scent.

Victor

Victor earphones

A non-piercing option.

In recent years, open-ear earphones that hook onto the ear have become a common sight. Each company has proposed them in various ways, but Victor's is in the direction of ear accessories. As an accessory, color is important, and the HA-NP1T is now available in three premium colors. These earphones sound so good that you would not feel uncomfortable with this type of earphones. The bass is subdued, but I think it is well-balanced. The sound is perfect for listening while wearing, and is not tiring to listen to. Also, it is very convenient to turn off the power without putting it in the charging case. The polarized pearl coating makes them sparkle, so they would make a great gift for women!

TOMMY HILFIGER

Tommy Hilfiger Jacket

From now on, it's time for color.

The weather is unstable due to the change of seasons. The "WET WEATHER BARN JACKET" from "Tommy Hilfiger" is recommended for such times. The water-repellent finish makes it ideal for sudden rain, and its versatility allows it to fit a wide range of styles, which is also a major attraction. And what can I say about the color. The deep green color, which is neither too subdued nor too assertive, is hard to find elsewhere, and the glossy, beautiful coloring is also a plus. When you hear the name "Tommy Hilfiger," you tend to imagine basic oxford shirts, but in fact, there are a wide variety of colors available, and the colored ones are quite nice as well. In the coming fall and winter season, when monotone coordinates will be more common than ever, it is a good idea to add items to your wardrobe that will lift your spirits just by wearing them.

Tone zip-up parka

A yellow that you will never get tired of.

We picked up a new color model of the continuously released "ZIP UP PARKA" from designer Takuhisa Maede's "TONE". The vintage-like texture and warm yellow color go well together, and its ease of use is one of its main features, as it can be worn with a wide range of pants. And yet, when it is dry and light to wear, it is sure to join the army from the day you get it. Not only this, but also other items of the same kind, the brand's manufacturing is simple, but the attention to detail is impressive and strongly appealing. In fact, this kind of clothing is the most useful, and we will continue to keep an eye on Tone's craftsmanship, which gently draws out the charm of the wearer.

Skateboarding, hip-hop, and gangsta spirit. The unisex brand "Salman" was born this year and is currently releasing its pre-collection in preparation for its full debut in the spring/summer 2026 season. When I saw the lineup for the first time, I was amazed at the range and depth of expression. From coats with a glamorous mood and set-ups that pay homage to the details of a certain maison brand, to sweatshirts and T-shirts with witty graphics that tickle the streetwise mind, to accessories with an outstanding presence using ingot motifs, the collection is free and unrestricted. A wide variety of other expressive items are also produced, so those who are interested in the brand's products are welcome to visit the brand'sInstagramAlso check out the

Champion

Champion Recovery Wear

Good performance comes from good recovery.

As interest in self-care grows, many people are taking up some form of sports in their daily lives. In particular, running and training at the gym are great because they can be done by oneself and make effective use of one's free time, enriching the mind. However, it is also very important to give your body a good rest after exercising. To that end, we would like to introduce Champion's first recovery wear based on the concept of turning off-time, such as sleeping, relaxing, and traveling, into "recovery time for the body and mind. Champion is known for its tough products with an American feel, but it has also put a lot of time and effort into developing athletic wear that makes full use of the reliable techniques and technologies it has cultivated over its long history. There are details that pursue comfort, such as the "3D:4CUT" design consisting of four panels and flat stitching that eliminates the discomfort of seams touching the skin, that are employed in every part of the product, The functionality of these garments is surprisingly high, meeting the standards for general medical devices. In addition to the items shown in the photo, long sleeve T-shirts and long pants are also available, so you can freely choose according to your preferences.

Tighty-tight.

I went on a business trip to Thailand for about a week, 5 nights and 7 days, and at the end of each day I always went to a massage parlor. Among the various massage parlors I visited, the one I recommended was "Thai Thai Massage". It is a chain of about 10 stores in Bangkok, and the price is very reasonable, about 2,000 yen per hour for a full body massage. It is a store full of hospitality, without being dreary. Oh, I want to go back to Thai Thai!

CAMISAS MANOLO

Camisus Manolo knit cardigan

Knitting for shirt brands.

Shawl collar clothes are quite difficult to find. I have the image of a girly Shonan uncle or a retired wealthy man wearing them, and I feel that no matter what I match them with, they look old-fashioned (*this is just my personal prejudice). However, I think this kind of serene style will appeal to readers of Huinamu. The brand is Camisas Manolo, a shirt specialty brand founded in 2019 in Madrid, Spain. That's right, a "shirt specialist. They have only been making shirts up until now, but this is their new attempt at making shirts. This cardigan is designed to be compact with a slightly coarse knit fabric, making it a cardigan that can be worn casually. Depending on how you button it and how you lay the collar down or stand it up, the impression will change more than enough. And if you look closely, you will notice that the bottom pocket is turned 90 degrees to the side, which is a humorous design. This gives it a mischievous look. Still, it's strange to choose this shape for your first knit project! In a good way! Let's continue to follow the trend.

Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens mules

In a good way, it is not like that.

In the exhibition hall, where yellow stitching was everywhere, this pair of mule shoes stood out in a class of its own. They are the mule shoes that "Dr. Martens" is developing for this fall/winter season. They have a thin outsole that is inspired by the archives of the 1990s, and are wrapped in a rounded upper made of Orleans leather. Even though it's leather, the texture is soft and light, making it easy to wear, yet still stately. I have a feeling that over time the leather will grow and deepen in flavor. Dr. Martens" has recently been offering sandals as well as boots and loafers. Among them, this pair of sandals, while radiating a modicum of individuality, is probably an easy pair for even martin beginners to try.

BEAMS PLUS

BEAMS PLUS shirt

I want those two to wear it.

If I were a stylist for the "Wandering" group, I would prepare this shirt for the October "Moya-sama" episode. It's such a fashionable and relaxed patterned shirt, don't you think? It is based on a 1940s work brand shirt design, and vintage details such as a compact collar design, an open ring finish, and chest pockets on both sides can be seen throughout. The shirt is printed with a monochromatic technique called Jouy-print, which originated in France, using motifs such as stories, myths, and landscapes. The left photo is made by discharge dyeing, and the right photo is made by pigment discharge dyeing after dyeing. The coloring is also exquisite. It is the character of "BEAMS PLUS" to stick to the best, as one would expect. Going back to the beginning of the story, I would like to see this episode recorded in Todoroki or Okusawa!

KAMIYA

Kamiya Accessories

The tools speak for the profession.

I like the clothes and tools of people who are engaged in specialized work. There are actions that are unique to that work, and the clothes and tools are improved in order to make it nonstressful. I am tickled by the way they are output in a way that is different from fashion. Now, I would like to introduce some of Kamiya's accessories. The theme of this season's collection is "Messengers," and the necklaces and bracelets with key charms were inspired by the bicycle chain keys worn by messengers in New York. The more you use them, the more they will age well, and they are definitely worth staining. The leather gloves are made of cowhide and are fingerless. They can be used as driving gloves because they are equipped with cushioning on the palm surface. It would be difficult to change one's occupation now, so let's try to get in the mood with accessories from "Kamiya," at least in form. As an added bonus, glass bead accessories are recommended to spice up a bland outfit!

Summer Vacation.

I took a summer vacation and went to Korea for the first time in my life. We drank and ate a lot during the six days. Among them, the gamjatang I had after playing until morning was the most exquisite. A sea of umami, collagen, and capsaicin, pork that was as tender as stewed pork cubes, mushrooms, vermicelli, and vegetables that were all crunchy. The nourishing flavors soaked into my exhausted body. It is said to be effective in sobering up, and is a standard ending to a meal among the locals.

Anil's Necklace

Spice up your styling.

"I have lost a few accessories in the past and stopped buying them because I was afraid of doing it all over again. But when I was wearing just a T-shirt, it was somehow not tight enough, or when I was wearing an open-collared shirt, I felt lonely in the chest area. This summer I reaffirmed that I still need a necklace. It was at this time that I came across a necklace by "Anil. This is a brand by a Spanish designer who has been making handmade accessories while traveling around the world for about 30 years. The name means "pepper" in Spanish, and the brand hopes that this necklace will add a little spice to your daily life. As the name suggests, brown glass beads are placed between the silver beads to give the necklace a unique finish. An adjuster chain is attached to the end of the necklace, so you can adjust the length according to your mood and the balance with the necklace you are layering. Just as pepper enhances the flavor of a dish, it is sure to be the spice that pulls everything together when you feel something is missing in your styling.

OAO × Advanced research

OAO x Advanced Research shoes

The design source is Matsuo Basho.

The source of input at this time is exclusively Instagram. Curated accounts edited from unique perspectives are gaining momentum, and we are checking out the trends. One of the best guesses is ADVANCED RESEARCH. Its posts range from introducing items that incorporate elements of outdoor, sports, and tech to posting meme-like stories. When we heard that such an account was releasing shoes in collaboration with Japanese footwear brand O.A.O., we were intrigued. The base model was the popular "SHELL" model. Based on a work shoe, this pair is durable, water repellent, and resilient. It should be noted that Matsuo Basho was used as the design source. The pattern of the shade he used is incorporated into the upper. And the iconic eye logo is placed on the leather flap. The color is based on blue, and the pair is finished in an "ADVANCED RESEARCH" style.

Crepuscule knit polo

Let yourself be carried away by the summer mood.

Although it is still hot, AW items are gradually beginning to appear in stores, and my mind is now completely in fall clothes mode. Looking back at the fall clothes at hand, I find that they are all dark-toned items in black, navy, gray, and brown. Here, I decided to let the summer mood take over and pick up some brightly colored items. I chose a knit polo from Crepuscule, a brand specializing in knitwear that focuses on materials to create simple, wearable items. The two colors that caught my eye were the lime, which has a nice coloring, and the calm yellow. The colors are so striking that it can be the star of the show on its own, and it is definitely cute when the bright colors flicker out from under outerwear. And the buttons, which look like ladies' vintage clothing with marbled parts overlaid on a metallic base, are also very good. They accentuate the simple knit polo.

Sandal hike.

Many trends surrounding mountains have emerged, such as "treerunning," "UL," "gopecore," and "downhill meals," but the one to watch now is "sandal hiking. At first, I thought, "Hiking in sandals? At first, I thought that hiking in sandals might be a bit intimidating, but my fears were unfounded. What supported my anxious feet was Teva's "Grandview Max Sandals. The outsole is made of Vibram's Mega Grip, the most dependable material that no longer needs any explanation. The W strapping system holds the foot firmly in place. Compared to laces, it is also smoother to put on and take off. The measures to prevent the intrusion of dirt and pebbles, which was the biggest concern, are also perfect. The mud guards placed on the sides block them. The upper is quick-drying, so it's nice to be able to go for a dip in the river while still wearing the shoes.
