WOOLRICH OUTDOOR LABEL
Woolrich Outdoor Label Jacket
A dependable one.
With the temperature dropping in the mornings and evenings, autumn is finally in full swing, and as we approach the middle of October, the remaining two months of this year will be over in an instant if we are too lazy. With this in mind, I was researching winter jackets to prepare for the oncoming winter when I came across this one. This jacket, which could be mistaken for a sage green military jacket, is actually based on a fishing jacket. That's why it is wide in width and short in length. The satin body with padding is accented by a small corduroy collar. The hood can be removed, so it's your choice, but it looks cool worn with the chin strap fastened and the collar up. For the bottom, I would wear sweat pants for a casual look or slacks for a classy look. There are four large pockets on the front, and this is a dependable one.

VEILANCE
Veilance knitwear
Above and below!
Veyrans is known for making clothes for town use that make full use of outdoor-derived techniques. Their solid-looking items made of functional materials are always cool, and I recently purchased a pair of "corbel pants. Last year, they were sold out and I couldn't buy them...but this year I was finally able to get them. Next on my wish list are the new knitwear items that joined the Veyrans line this fall/winter season. This was also very well made. The form at a glance is very similar, but it is knitted with merino wool and nylon blended yarn, which has a temperature regulating function. The fabric is soft and smooth without being prickly, and is neither too thin nor too thick, making it extremely comfortable to wear. Moreover, it has a natural deodorant effect, is resistant to furballs, and has excellent abrasion resistance. It's probably the kind of thing I would wear all the time if I had it in my closet (laughs). It's pricey compared to ordinary knits, but it's well worth paying for, and if I could afford it, I would get it in a variety of colors. I think I'll be wearing "Veilance" both top and bottom for fall style.

PUEBCO
Puebco Laptop Case
Actually a thriving restaurant?
At 11:30 a.m. at the end of September, I went to "Puebco" to borrow this laptop case.
I went to "Sangenjaya store" to borrow this laptop case. What surprised me there was that customers kept coming in without a pause. Not enough to fill the restaurant, of course, but it was just before noon on a Tuesday, and to be honest, it wasn't even near a station. We don't serve lunch in secret. People come all the way to Puebuco to buy witty sundries. Indeed, looking around the store, I saw many things I had never seen before. One of them was a laptop case. To begin with, most PC cases in mass merchandisers are similar black-colored ones, but in Puebco's hands, they have been given a military-like design, as you can see. The stenciling and quilting on the case is strangely appealing to men. There are two sizes, one for 13 inches and the other for 15 inches. And the price tag is exquisite (laughs).

SPINGLE
Spingle Shoes
I was surprised when I put them on!
One of my recent favorites is a pair of "Spingle" side gore shoes. I picked them up because I was attracted by their uniquely silhouette, but I was surprised when I tried them on. The best thing about them is how comfortable they are on my feet. I usually get sore feet when I put my feet into shoes for the first time, but not at all with these shoes. Is it because the rather narrow last fits my feet, or is it because the outsole made of natural rubber flexes well? I don't know the answer, but I don't get tired even after wearing them for a long time. Moreover, the uppers are made of super water-repellent leather. The leather is impregnated with a water-repellent material from the tanning stage, so the water-repellent effect lasts longer than ordinary leather and repels water droplets. The slip-on design makes it easy to put on and take off. This is a masterpiece that can only be produced at our own factory, which has been in business for more than 90 years.

Mister Donut, a.k.a. Miss Donut, is one of the things I don't see in my living area. One day at a drinking party, I was told the big news: "They are going to open a shop in Ebisu around November," and that it would be one of the top 10 shops in 2025. It will be a bit of a detour from my way home, but Ebisu is within walking distance from my office, and I will go there, taking care not to get fat.
CABARET POVAL
Cabaret Povar polo shirt
I'm feeling Daniel Blake-ish.
100% I'm of the school that likes the cold season better than the hot. I feel like there is more variety in what I eat and the longer dark hours are somewhat more relaxing. However, I'm definitely a knitwear person rather than a sweatshirt or parka person, because I just like the season and I'm not very good at cold weather and I feel like I look like a proper person. I used to wear cardigans exclusively, but last year I started wearing crew necks more and more, and then I became interested in polo shirts as well. The skipper-type knit polo from "Cabaret POVAL" that I saw at an exhibition is simple and has no buttons, and the ribbed lines on the sleeves are a subtle accent. It comes in two colors, charcoal and beige, and is hand-washable, which is also helpful. I think it looks cool when worn smartly by young men and women, and it is not bad when worn by an uncle with slacks like an old man. The spondish bulge, which is the point of the design, was only gentle to the stomach area that is no longer on a diet.

KIM'S VIDEO
Kim's Video T-shirts
Still in theaters.
Marfa by Kazuhiko at Machiya in Arakawa-ku, Tokyo
While having drinks with Mr. Fujita of Fujita and talking about the music I recently listened to and the books I recently read, he told me about "Kim's Video," a documentary film about a video rental store that existed in the East Village of New York City from 1987 to 2008, which had a collection of up to 55,000 rare videos. The film is a documentary film about the whereabouts of the collection, directed by David Redmond, a former member of the store. The first half of the film is a documentary, with a million highlights, such as the development and details in the middle of the film, and the official website is goofy. The T-shirt I purchased after watching the film features a design of Kim Young Man, owner of Kim's Video, on the label of a videotape. The way he wears his hat makes him look like Taro Aso at a glance. About a month after seeing the movie, I went to ODD
I had a chance to have a drink with Mr. Shingo Star of ODD JOB, and he told me that he had been to "Kim's Video" many times in the 1990s. I was surprised and at the same time very convinced.

KANGOL
Kangol Hunting
Where the music plays.
For me, fashion is basically an imitation of someone else. I am almost exclusively influenced by people I have noticed in clubs, live music clubs, or on the street, or by people I have seen on CD or record jackets, or in photo books or zines. One of the symbols of this is a hunting cap.
I've been influenced by Celtic punk bands like The Pogues and Dropkick Murphys, as well as New York hardcore bands like Murphy's Law and The Pogues.
Law, and the DJs I usually meet, I have an image of cool people (including customers) wearing a hunting cap at places where music is played. Kangol is special among them, and the fact that it is a British-born brand makes it irrationally cool. The "504" model using tropic yarn is the standard for spring and summer, and the fur gauze and wool models are the standard for fall and winter. The best color is burgundy, which evokes the image of West Ham United of the Premier League, and it is best worn with a MA-1 or short-length outerwear.

A Japanese History of T-Shirts.
Books by Takahata Homena
To let out or not to let out.
Whenever I have something to do in the Omotesando area, I like to make time to stop by the "Aoyama Book Center" even if I am a little busy. On my way home from a meeting one day, I picked up a copy of "A Japanese History of T-Shirts" from a stack of books. As the title suggests, the book covers everything from the basics of when and who started wearing T-shirts as a fashion item to the history of the tuck-in

I was very surprised at the way he analyzed the changing values of tucking in and tucking out through the characters in "Yummy Shinbo," "Slam Dunk," "Yu Yu Hakusho," etc. The huge amount of references listed on pages 248-253 showed his great analytical skills, but more importantly, it was important for me to know what I was looking at. I was also surprised at the number of references listed on pages 248-253, which shows his analytical skills, but more importantly, it reaffirms for me that what I look at is important, but the angle from which I look at it is more important.

It's autumn, the season of sports, and I want to do something to take advantage of the excitement.... Please invite me to play grass baseball. I can still move.

Ramroff Knitwear
Favored food masamashita.
Until recently, we were walking outside in short sleeves, but now we find ourselves in a climate where even shirts are chilly. This is when knitwear comes into its own. I tend to be attracted to knitwear that has even one of these elements: long pile, damage, bold patterns, etc. This piece from "Ramroff" had them all. There was no reason not to buy it. The pattern is inspired by mid-century art. The jagged pattern is expressed by a characteristic wavy knitting technique, and the mohair-blend yarn adds a three-dimensional effect. Despite the calculated pattern, the collar, sleeves, and hem are boldly damaged. This exquisite sense of balance between stillness and movement is one of the strengths of "Ramroff," and I feel that the brand's design aesthetic is packed into this piece. Personally, I would not wear anything with a tight neck as an inner layer for this knit; an open neck is definitely better looking and would probably be more in line with the brand's aesthetics.

Hanes for BIOTOP
Haynes for Biotope T-shirt
Pack T for adults.
For some reason, I can't help but reach for a pack of T-shirts. This way of selling T-shirts is the great invention of the century (laughs). I always end up buying them as souvenirs. But this pack of T-shirts is different from the usual ones. The material is an unfamiliar "suede knit. It is characterized by a moderate thickness and firmness, more than a jersey T-shirt but less than a wool-lined sweatshirt, and has both a soft touch and excellent heat-retaining properties. And of course, the design is also particular. The design has been fine-tuned to the millimeter, with thumbholes at the cuffs, a sharply defined neckline, dropped shoulders, and a length that is slightly longer in the back than in the front. Biotope" achieved this. The result is a special-order pack T that conveys the message, "This is the kind of plain T-shirt that adults want nowadays.

PHENIX by TKMT
Phoenix by T.K.M.T. Jacket
A new step forward.
Phoenix, a well-known ski brand, has entered a new realm. As many of you fashion freaks may know, the collection line directed by Daisuke Gemma has started this season. The in-line items, which incorporate ideas cultivated in the snowy mountains into street wear, are all outstandingly cool, but what caught my attention was the collaboration line. The line has the letters "TKMT" on it.... Yes, it is a collaboration line with Takahiro Miyashita. One of the items that really caught my attention was this velour jacket with a 3-layer finish and moisture permeability function. The silhouette, surface luster, and detail work are all excellent, and the dignified appearance that makes one's spine shimmer just by wearing it is a true testament to the quality of the line. Also, pay attention to the back side. There are many zips and pockets, which are said to be reproductions of those on fishing vests. This playful spirit is also irresistible, isn't it?

Fascinating crocodile.
The most famous "chrome" bag is the messenger bag. I remember when I was a student, I used to commute to school by bicycle, and this bag was my daily companion. As I became an adult, I stayed away from this type of bag for a while, but this item has rekindled my love for messenger bags. This item was born from a collaboration with [Engineered

It has a 24L capacity, is waterproof, and comes with a PC sleeve, making it perfectly functional as well. It is perfect for my daily commute to work and also for a two-night business trip I took recently. It's the best kind of tsundere to have such a sharp look, but with functionality that can reach users' itchiness.

Although I know that I am too much in high spirits, I still hope that Japan will win the World Cup next year.

2025 Best Pants.
Lately, I have been wearing gray pants (three pairs) in rotation five days out of the week. They don't look as heavy as black, and I don't have to choose the tops I wear with them. I think it is the color that fits best with the clothes I have on hand at the moment. A recent addition to this lineup is the "Riprap" chinos. I personally like the deep crotch and wide straight silhouette of these pants, and the great thing about them is that they look classy at the same time. This is thanks not only to the luster of the chinocloth, but also to the two darts above the hip pockets that make the buttocks look as if they are lifted up. As you can see from the mar belt on the back of the waist, the structure is similar to that of slacks. This is the kind of crossbreeding of basics that "Rip Rap" is known for. The color is also very attractive, with a deep charcoal gray that is calm and relaxing, but also has a slight purple tinge when exposed to natural light. Combined with this deep look, I have a feeling that these pants will become a staple in my wardrobe that I will never get tired of.

One more piece of G9.
I don't like the feeling of the cold wind on my neck, so I tend to wear swing tops from now on. I've been wearing the original one I bought at a thrift store for about three years now, but I thought it might be nice to have another one in my collection if it were a lighter version made in collaboration with "Bal". The material is water-repellent cotton-polyester barracouta cloth, lined with the familiar tartan check, and in a boxy silhouette with a short length. The G9's sporty, neat look is not compromised by this unassertive twist, which adds functionality without sacrificing style. This is the kind of ironic work by VAL that can only be done out of respect for the original.

UMBRO × Slam Jam
Umbro x Slam Jam Jacket
Respect for Culture.
Enthusiastic football fans, known as hooligans, clashed with the opposing team's supporters and security forces at the venue. These rough and tumble hooligans wore the usual brands to express their identity, and sometimes hid their true faces to avoid identification. One brand loved by these hooligans was Umbro. This jacket, created in a team-up with Slam Jam, is filled with respect for hooligans and, by extension, UK street culture. This is symbolized by the mask tucked inside the hood. The mask is designed to cover the face to keep out the cold in everyday life, but as mentioned above, it is also a cultural detail, a mask that anonymizes the wearer's identity. Even the use of the Umbro logo from the 90's is a sign of someone who "gets it". Among the many Umbro collaborations, this is definitely one that sets itself apart from the rest.

SUNDAYS BEST
Sunday's Best Long T
I was waiting for a border like this.
My personal preference is to choose long sleeves for a striped pattern that looks casual. It may be the same as the feeling that if you wear shorts, you should wear a long-sleeved top to compensate for the shorts. From this perspective, the long T-shirt made by "Sunday's Best" was exactly to my liking. The original multi-border fabric, which was produced from the very beginning, has a good sense of stylishness, yet the pitch is not too wide for adults to wear without hesitation. The colors are said to be inspired by traditional pottery made by Native Americans. The earthy colors blend easily with Japanese skin tones and go surprisingly well with any pants. The short length, wide width, and wide armholes create a well-balanced silhouette that is also very comfortable to wear.

Scent to be spelled out in a notebook.
Fragrances are often repeat favorites, but this is a new favorite. It is a bottle from "Note de Ba de Paje," created by a couple of former lawyers. They consider life as a "notebook," and the story they weave together is the "fragrance," and they say that enjoying a fragrance is a "footnote" to a deeper understanding of life. Enjoying fragrance is a "footnote" to a deeper understanding of life. Hats off to a romantic and intelligent idea that no ordinary person could ever come up with. Of the three types currently available, I prefer "Twede," which has a sweet aroma. Its ingredients include cinnamon, amber, leather, and sandalwood. Although I am far from being a fashionable person who can live up to this fragrance, I feel that this scent brings me a little closer to my ideal self. Besides, it will serve well as an invisible accessory in terms of setting the outfit and mood.

Cherish the connections.
Accessories spend a lot of time in direct contact with the skin, so I want to have a good reason for wearing them. In that sense, I think it is good to have a story behind wearing an item that you came across because of a chance encounter with a certain person. That is why I recently chose the jewelry brand "tie" by Hideki Asakura of "hobo," a company that has always been a great source of support for me.
TYRE Knot, a jewelry brand by Hideki Asakura of hobo.
I recently chose a ring from TYRE NOT, a jewelry brand owned by Hideki Asakura of "hobo.

Excellent sense of realism.
I recently wanted a portable speaker and picked this one up. The deciding factor was the fact that the speakers are only 9.5 cm square, yet they provide powerful three-dimensional sound. It was a new discovery to be able to enjoy the sensation of being enveloped in sound with a speaker the size of the palm of your hand. Just like headphones or cinema sound equipment, you can feel the direction and distance of the sound very realistically. And since they are waterproof, there is no need to worry about them breaking down in the water.
