MODMNT

Smock of Modolemento

Enjoy layering.

As a big fan of gear wear, ModoMento is the brand I am most interested in at the moment. The brand is a newcomer that debuted this season, and its design is provided by Mr. Daiki Suzuki, a representative of Nepenthes America. As you know, he has a deep knowledge of military and outdoor wear, and is a natural when it comes to this type of gear. At ModoMento, he views clothes as parts and constructively combines them to create a unique layered style. The photo shows a short version of a royal navy ventilated smock with a fishing jacket element added. By wearing a longer liner or shirt as an inner layer, a layered style is completed with the gear elements in the background. The shell is a waterproof and breathable 3-layer. The intricate detail work around the hood and multiple functional pockets ensure that every detail has been taken care of. This is modern gear wear that is fun to layer.

CHASSE

Chase's Sweatshirt

A neat sweatshirt.

I like things that are comfortable to wear, so I naturally reach for sweatshirts this time of year. However, if they are too sporty, I hesitate to wear them to work, and they don't look right for my age. Personally, I prefer sweatshirts that have a certain degree of "neatness" to them. For example, Chase's sweatshirt is designed with a V-neck and a high neck, making it look like you are wearing an ensemble. The neck is half-zipped, so it can be worn as a high-neck with the top closed, or as a collar with the zip open. Either way, it will give you a somewhat "proper" appearance. We feel like wearing it with slacks, leather shoes, etc., for a more elegant look. The size is loose and the hem can be adjusted with a drawcord, so it would be cute to wear it in a round silhouette as shown in the photo.

DAIWA PIER39

Daiwa Pier 39 setup

This is synthetic skin.

When I saw it at the exhibition, it made me think "I definitely want to wear this as a set-up! The one that made me think, "I definitely want to wear this as a set-up! Pier 39" as you can see here. I was surprised to see the release of leather products from this brand, which has a strong image of tech materials, but upon confirmation, I was told that it is an environmentally friendly synthetic leather material that does not originate from animals. However, the impression and texture of the leather is just like real leather, so it has a solid presence, and the feeling when you put it on is perfect. The jacket follows the classic windbreaker design, with various pockets of various sizes on the inner jacket and drawcords on the pant hems for adjustment, all of which are practical gadgets typical of the "Daiwa While you can enjoy wearing the set-up with the RUN-D.M.C., each of them can also be used by themselves as a nice spice to your styling.

The Smashing Pumpkins

Smashing Pumpkins T-shirts

A roundabout way, Ali.

The excitement of the Oasis show is still going strong, but as for myself, I failed to win a ticket to the show. But that's okay. I was able to see the Smashing Pumpkins (hereafter referred to as "Smashing Pumpkins") perform live at the Budokan last month! Personally, it was my first time to see Smashing Pumpkins in 15 years, and the first time to see James (G) and Jimmy (Ds), the original members who came back to the band. (Ds) for the first time. That alone was enough for me, but I was also treated to some of the classic songs I used to listen to back then, such as "Today", "1979", and "Tonight, Tonight". I was very satisfied to hear all the great songs I used to listen to back then such as "Today", "1979", and "Tonight, Tonight". The interplay between Billy and Jimmy was also very funny. I bought the T-shirt shown in the photo at the booth. The Smashpan tour T-shirts have always been known for their racy designs, and this time was no exception. The exquisitely deformed cartoon-like pictures of the band members and the metal logo. The T-shirt's design also shows a unique alternative sense.

MERRELL

Merrell Shoes

A barefoot with a colossal form.

In recent years, Merrell has been steadily raising its status in the fashion scene as well as the trail running scene. In fact, many runners wear Merrell shoes in the field, and the brand boasts overwhelming recognition in the Japanese skyrunning scene. One thing that is indispensable when talking about Merrell is the existence of its barefoot shoes. Trail" shoes that can be used outdoors. Glove" and "Vapor Glove Glove," which are also suitable for outdoor activities, have gained the support of many barefoot lovers. One of the most well-known hidden gems is the "Moutopia Lace," which was long-awaited reissue this season. It has an oblong toe shape that makes it easy to move the foot naturally, and the upper is made of highly water-repellent leather. The thick insole promises a comfortable walk despite the midsole construction. The lovely, yet collocatable form is also impressive. They will be useful for everyday use as well as after-race shoes.

TANNUKI

Raccoon dog knapsack and stuff sack

Earth-friendly specialty item.

Independent running brands have played an important role in the running scene in recent years. Performance wear with stylish and unique designs, which cannot be achieved by major sports manufacturers, has revolutionized the style of running. Tanuki, in particular, has continued to expand its brand by developing products with the running club of Bunka Fashion College, sponsoring market events, and other free-spirited ideas. Tanuki has upcycled and produced these two products using the same high-strength water-repellent nylon material that was used in the collaboration with Pergoworks. The knapsack is a 2-way bag that can also be used as a tote, with a pocketable structure that allows compact storage in the interior pocket. The staple sack, on the other hand, is exquisitely sized to fit "Rush10" nicely, and its bouncy material prevents it from losing its shape. The cappuccino color, which can be used regardless of the occasion, also makes a good impression. It is a convenient and earth-friendly accessory. I think it is an item that stands out for its interesting eye for detail, which is typical of Tanuki.

MILLET

Millet Underwear

Shocking layering techniques.

For trail runners, the most major product in the "MIRRAY" lineup is "Drynamic Mesh," a.k.a. "Amiami. Drynamic Mesh, also known as "Amiami. Underwear made of polypropylene with excellent hydrophobic properties quickly absorbs sweat on the skin surface and quickly diffuses it to the upper base layer. As a result, it keeps the skin dry and prevents perspiration from cooling off. Such "Drynamic mesh" was used in an unexpected way by one of our athletes, Naota Takemura. In an interview with the trail running website "Trail Runner.JP", a website specializing in trail running, he says, "I use 3/4 of Drynamic Mesh in the temperature down to minus 5 degrees Celsius. I can cope with temperatures down to minus 5 degrees Celsius by simply wearing a wind shell directly over the 3/4 sleeve of Drynamic Mesh. （If it gets too hot, I can unzip the zipper and get warm at once. If you get hot, you can open the zipper and let the heat escape all at once, so it's easy to adjust your body temperature. It's a bit different layering than the textbook, though (laughs). It's a shocking layering technique that is eye-opening, but makes sense when you think about it. I definitely want to give this a try.

MIZUNO

Mizuno Running Shoes

They are over-spec for me, but I'd like to try them on.

While I am both happy and sad to see trends in new, trendy running brands, I also have my finger on the pulse of technical masterpieces created by the old masters. One brand that has been on my personal radar recently is Mizuno, a world-class Japanese sports manufacturer that opened four new stores in Tokyo in September and is clearly gaining momentum. Mizuno has created the "Wave Rebellion Flash 3" targeting sub-3.5 and point training. 3" was developed by Mizuno for sub-3.5 and point practice. The shape of the sole is a "smooth speed assist" that supports efficient foot movement and prevents stress on the foot, and the midsole is made of two layers of highly resilient foam that converts the impact of ground contact into propulsive force. The color combination based on running shoe-like white is also favorable. I've been running away from sub-3.5 for quite some time now, and I don't think I'm going to train hard for it, which is why I want to wear these over-spec shoes. What kind of changes will happen to my body and motivation? I am personally looking forward to it.

SEVEN BY SEVEN

Seven by Seven Outerwear

Adult Derby.

I went on a business trip to Iwate a while ago, and it was very cold even though I brought a light down coat. I thought that was understandable since the lowest temperature was in the single digits, but it seems that the period in which you can wear unlined outerwear has really shortened. Autumn is short, so if you are looking for outerwear that you can use from now on, you should choose lined and warm outerwear. This derby jacket is from "Seven by Seven. It is a jacket with a design typical of San Francisco, where the designer, Mr. Kawakami, used to live, but it also has the current mood. The melton, woven from a blend of five different types of wool, is firm, deep in color, and of high quality. The spacious silhouette is a combination of these two, giving the jacket a very mature atmosphere.

MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR

Mountain Hardwear fleece

The famous fleece has been renewed.

There are several fleece masterpieces, and this is one of them. This is the "Air Mesh" series from Mountain Hardwear. It is made of Teijin Frontier's Octa CPCP, which is warm yet lightweight, and has excellent breathability to prevent stuffiness. Moreover, the affordable price makes it a very popular image. In fact, a senior colleague of mine, whose desk is right next to mine, often wears one of these. It has always been popular, but now it has been renewed with a new deodorant effect in addition to the antimicrobial effect it had before. This is a nice update because even if it is breathable, it still causes perspiration. I don't like hood jams and don't often choose them, but I like the hood on this one. *Some specifications differ from the product.

LEMS

REMS Shoes

A new barefoot shoe option.

Barefoot shoes have been experiencing an unusual upsurge in popularity recently. They were the focus of attention in Japan about 10 years ago, so this is the second wave. There are several brands that were not seen in Japan until now, and "Rem's," which was established in 2011, is one of them. The model on the left is the standard "Primal The model on the left is the standard "Primal 3," with an unusual cork insole. On the right is the "Trail The right is a trail model named "Trail Blazer," with a full rubber sole for a firmer landing feel. Both models are easy to use on a daily basis, while capturing the characteristics of a zero-drop foot shape and thin sole. The hard-core aspect of the Barefoot is understated, giving them a soft and gentle feel.... Combined with the retro, American-style design, it makes me feel attached to them. They have more cushion than sandal-type shoes, so I want you to try barefoot shoes first with these shoes.

Futo.

Long T of Futo

To the new standard.

Personally, the most difficult item for me is the long T. It just doesn't seem to go together. I use them as innerwear during the cold season, but when I wear them alone, I feel like they don't fit well. However, I thought that something from "HUTO," a sub-brand of "KINTO," might work for me. The slightly thicker ribbing, wider width, and slightly longer length give it a relaxed sense of balance. The fabric is knitted on an old-style suspension knitting machine in Wakayama, which adds a touch of quality. The three colors are basic, as is typical of KINTO. Brown is the most appealing. This casual but nice feeling makes me very happy.

BEORMA

Wallet of Beoma

Welcome back, great wallet.

The British leather brand "White House Cox" regrettably ended its 147-year history in 2022. I still remember how shocked I was to hear this news, as there was a time when I used to love to wear White House Cox products. However, more than 25 skilled craftsmen who had been involved in the production for many years gathered together, and the tradition is now being carried on at a new factory. This is the Beoma Leather Company. The products, which are a fusion of excellent craftsmanship and a deep passion for leather, are worth nurturing as they become more textured and blend in better and better with the leather as they are used more and more. How about a potential gift for the coming holiday season?

NOAH

Noah's Sweater

Donegal yarn, nice border.

Mass production by machine is commonplace, and 3D printers have taken root, allowing even amateurs to make clothes. We often hear that robots and chatGPT are taking away human jobs, but I feel that there are still some things that will never disappear. The sweater from Noah's introduced here is knitted with Donegal Yarn. Donegal Yarn is a wool tweed yarn traditionally made in the Donegal region of Ireland, and its factories have been in operation since the early 1800s. The dyeing, blending, twisting, and other processes are carried out by skilled craftsmen, but sometimes plants brought in by sheep are mixed in, or neps of different colors are mixed in, giving the yarn its unique flavor because of the manual, zero-waste approach. This work is a piece in which you can feel this more than enough, and the border pattern, which is typical of "Noah," is also very neat. The color scheme is austere, but to be honest, it is my favorite among the sweaters I have seen this season. Good things will be handed down through the ages, and it is very meaningful for a brand like Noah's to incorporate them into their products.

BEAMS BOY

Beams Boy Boston Bag

Nostalgic, but new.

Personally, the Boston bag is a trigger for youth nostalgia. It brings to mind the scenery of the gymnasium at the training camp and the scent of the sweat of youth, along with bitter memories of early morning shuttle runs. These are the emotional items of the athletic world, but in the hands of <beams boy BOY" can sublimate such an emotional item into a fashion item. While it has a vintage-like texture that looks like it belongs in an American thrift store, it is not old-fashioned and can be used without hesitation because of its exquisite taste. Although it is minimalist, it has a lining and a zipped pocket, so it looks good even if you don't put any luggage in it. And what can I say, the colors are great. Brown and mustard yellow, which suits autumn, and crisp and fresh blue and beige. It's a good idea to consult with your closet. I never thought I would meet the Boston of those days in this way as an adult. ...... Beams indeed! I admire the boy's eye for detail.

POST OʼALLS

The post Over Alls Coveralls.

Follow the lead of our predecessors.

I am fickle in my choice of outerwear. I want to look crisp and new, but I also want to look rugged and vintage. In this case, "Post Over Alls" is just right for me. This season, they have created a new model based on the coveralls of the Great War. The mood of the 1930s, when the evolution of American workwear was remarkable, is incorporated, and details such as the four-button front and chinstrap are faithfully reproduced. There were a variety of colors available, but I personally prefer brown and multi-stripe. The former is highly versatile, while the latter may seem tricky at first glance, but unlike the brown, it uses a unique manufacturing process that wraps the lining and outer fabric at the same time, so the more you wear it, the more it tastes good. Either way, these two are worth nurturing. Post Overalls" creates products in line with the times while following in the footsteps of its predecessors. It's as if they are the cool older generation that you want to follow.

1/3 in real terms.

Cool outerwear is inevitably expensive. But if you can use it for 3-ways, it's practically as if you bought it for 1/3 of the price. I told myself that equation as an excuse for running out of money, and picked up a coat from "The Duffer and Nephews".

TANAKA

Tanaka Flared Denim

Flowers, not weapons.

Two major wars are now breaking out. I always hope that they will be settled as soon as possible. However, I am not good at expressing my point of view directly. At such times, one of the ways to express my stance without words is through fashion, isn't it? This is where flared denim comes in. Flared denim has become a symbol of love and peace, associated with the hippies who campaigned against the Vietnam War during that era. One of the pieces that caught my attention was one from "Tanaka," which has been promoting an anti-war message in its runway shows since last season. It is characterized by a cutting that allows the side lines to flow backward, creating a beautiful silhouette from any angle. Premium denim from Kaihara is used, and the quality of the item itself is unmistakable. We would like to match it with a floral patterned top.

GB KENT

GB Kent Clothes Brush

Do you take care of your wool products?

Wool is an excellent material that not only provides warmth, but also has excellent moisture absorption and desorption properties to prevent stuffiness inside clothes. I myself use wool slacks, sweaters, and coats in the fall and winter. The only drawback of such a material is that it is difficult to wash. The only opportunity to take care of them is when they get dirty or at the end of the season. However, as you wear it, dust and pollen adhere to the fibers, which are invisible to the eye. That is why I picked up a clothes brush made of the finest pig's hair from "GB Kent. The stiff and firm pig bristles are perfect for cleaning tightly woven fabrics such as wool. Brushing not only removes dirt and grime, but also allows air to penetrate between the fibers to restore the original texture of the fabric. It also helps to prevent furballs as it adjusts the grain of the fluffed fabric. I will use this brush for a long time, taking good care of my clothes.
