Preparatory Exercise.

One of my daily routines is morning stretching. I have been doing it for about 10 years now. I started it to improve my body, which is prone to hang-ups, and the menu has increased over the years. I spend about 20 minutes doing it, mixing in some light muscle training. And when I'm ready, I work!

Goldwin

Goldwyn's Down Jacket

A dress that has all three.

As winter approaches in earnest, we have acquired a reliable ally. It is the "Pertex Quantum Down Parka" by Goldwyn. There are many options for this type of item, but one of the reasons I chose this one is the coloring. The deep brown color is a slightly shiny "Pertex I thought the deep brown color matched well with the slightly shiny ripstop fabric called "Pertex Quantum. Down jackets are originally designed for outdoor use, but I thought this jacket had the depth to be worn with lapel jackets and slacks as well. Moreover, the unique structure of the down gathers in the back, so it efficiently insulates the trunk of the body. The new duck down used is said to bring out the original function of the down through superior cleaning technology. The high level of technology in this area is typical of Goldwyn, which began with ski wear. Warm, lightweight, and good looking, this is a great piece of clothing.

White Mountaineering

White Mountaineering pants

Not British punk.

Among the many new products from "White Mountaineering" this season, these pants caught my eye. The solid black design of the pants attracted me, and when I picked them up, I noticed the distinctive use of zippers. In fact, these pants are modeled after parachute pants, with zippers not only on the thigh pockets and hems, but also on the back pockets. Personally, when I think of parachute pants, the image of British punk comes to mind, but this design doesn't make me feel that way. I also liked the relaxed silhouette and the belted waist with easy-access specifications. The material used is a high-density nylon twill that feels great against the skin. I have a feeling that if I add these to my closet, I'll be seeing a lot of use for some reason or another!

TUDOR

Tudor Watches

New Discoveries.

The first thing that caught my eye was the blue dial. The beautiful soft color is called lagoon blue, and the sand texture on the surface is a subtle accent. I have a strong impression of Tudor's tool watches, and this is one of them, "BLACK BAY BAY Although it is a "54," it looks more like jewelry than a tool. When I picked it up, I felt like using it as an accessory. I also like that the case and bracelet are made of polished and satin-finished steel to complement the color of the dial. Plus, the exquisite size of the 37mm case is also doubly marvelous! I'm tempted to choose a black or white dial for a watch, but if I want to enjoy it as a fashion statement, I definitely go for a colored dial.

Nobaton.

Novaton tooth paste and mouthwash

How to make life better.

As part of my health maintenance, I go to the dentist every two to three months. The reason for this is to clean my teeth. I am not that particular about it, but food is one of the pleasures in life, and I don't want to lose that time to cavities. I guess I neglected to brush my teeth when I was a kid, so I'm prone to cavities. As a result, I have a lot of silver, ceramic, and gold fillings in my back teeth. So, recently I have been paying attention to brushing my teeth and making sure to spend a lot of time on it. This awareness extends to my choice of toothpaste as well, and I recently started using this oral care brand from Hollywood, "Novaton. It has a finer lather than most toothpastes, which makes it easier to use my toothbrush. In addition to its fruity scent, it also has a whitening effect, which is good because it makes your teeth look brighter and more beautiful. And the finishing touch is mouthwash. A slightly thickened liquid containing plant-derived oils can be held in the mouth for about 20 seconds, and while it is hypoallergenic, it leaves the mouth feeling refreshed! I could go on and on about the benefits, but I'll try to wrap this up now, but once you put either one in your mouth, you'll notice the difference between them and what you normally use.
Toothpaste ¥1,980 (set of 3), Mouthwash ¥3,850

If you have a little time.

Recently, I have been enjoying going to record stores for the first time in a long time. With a notepad in my hand, I am excited when I find the record I was looking for, but I also regret that I don't have that record or that record at home that I sold a long time ago. When I see people of my parents' generation or even older in record stores, I really wish I could grow old like them.

CABARET POVAL

Cabaret Povar Scarf

This winter's staples.

Winter necessities are scarves and gloves. Especially for a shaved head, a scarf is a must, not only for fashion but also for protection from the cold, so I wrap it around my head as if wearing it over my neck. I used to use lambswool 100%, but the fibers from the muffler would sometimes get on my shaved head after it had been trimmed, and I felt it was a bit disgraceful. I wanted to get a cashmere 1001 TP10T scarf, but Cabaret POVAL, a company I work with, has a scarf made from a soft and warm blend of merino wool and cashmere, just like Cabaret POVAL, which values the culture of the UK, It looks like a scarf that would be appropriate for people at a football stadium or pub in a cold country. It is moderately voluminous and is available in charcoal and dark beige, the latter of which I picked up.

ACTUS

Actus Blanket

Like a sofa partner.

While at home, I am mostly on the couch in the living room. I work on my computer on the dining room table, I haven't touched the desktop in my workroom for more than six months, and I never go into my bedroom except to sleep. When I am slumbering on the sofa in winter like that, I want something to put over my body even if the heater is on. It is a hassle to bring a futon from the bedroom, and I am not sure if it is hygienic to do so in the first place. In that case, it would be convenient to have a blanket on the sofa. While I was looking for a variety of blankets, I found one I was interested in at the interior store Actus. It is released from the bed wear series "Quiet" and is originally a bed spread seen in business hotels, but the cotton knit material feels good against the skin, and the 130 x 180 cm size seems to be in good shape as a blanket. The green and gray ribbed design allows you to enjoy different looks on the front and back sides. I think I will spend this New Year's holiday wrapped in this blanket, watching movies, reading books, and listening to music.

RWCHEAPTIMES

Incense holder for Rocheap Times

The meaning of building together.

There are many collaborations and special orders in the world. Many of them tend to be all about the buzz rather than the essence of the product, and the meaning of the collaboration is often questionable. I prefer to take things that are in-line or always available and find value in them by shifting my perspective a bit. However, it is also true that there are many cool and interesting things that can only come from collaborations, and the collaboration between "Cheap Times®" and "Roach," which releases items that are not straight forward from a maniac's perspective and knowledge, is just that. The ceramic incense burner, named "DIABLITO-KUN" = "little devil" in Spanish, is made by hand by craftsmen in Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture. The size, only 8 cm in length, and the blister pack of the package are also typical of the collaboration between the two. I am thinking of burning a certain brand that I have been buying for more than 10 years, as well as a few other brands that I have bought at random, depending on my mood at the time. The number of the limited edition is 100, so please try to get one before they are all gone.

HELLA GREEN

Hera Green Laundry Bag & Cap

Set with coffee and a book.

I am more of a winter person than a summer person. However, there are a few things I prefer in the summer. One of them is laundry. Laundry dried in the summer sun is clean and simply feels good to wear. In winter, it is just cold and there is no dryer in the house, so it is hard to say how long it takes to dry. Coin-operated laundromats are the solution to such winter problems. The waiting time spent sipping hot coffee and reading a book is great, and what makes you feel even better is a laundry bag from Hera Green. A bag from Fatty's wouldn't be bad, but I'm the type of person who feels better when I'm a little picky about things like this. It is 62 cm wide and 75.5 cm tall, so it can easily hold sheets from a futon. It will come in handy not only when going to the laundromat, but also when camping. The lawn graphic on the tough canvas is also available in the cap and mug shown in the photo, so it would be a good idea to have a series of these as well.

I shouldn't have thrown it away.

Sapporo Kokusai Ski Resort, which I visited for an interview.It had been 12 years since I tore the extensor carpi radialis muscle in my right hand (I have an undergraduate degree in sports!). ), but I was able to ski without any problems. I hope to take this opportunity to go snowboarding at least once a year in the future. I want to beat myself up for throwing away all my boards, boots, and clothes a few years ago, thinking that I would never go back.

elephant TRIBAL fabrics × WILD THINGS for ADAM ET ROPÉ

Elephant Tribal Fabrics x Shell by Wild Things for Adam et Lope

If only this were the case.

I really want to wear different outerwear every day, but it's hard to buy a bunch of stuff like T-shirts (although I'm surprised how expensive T-shirts are these days!) ). That's why I'm always drawn to outerwear that is reversible or changes shape. This time it's the latter. As you can see, the hem can be detached and worn as a short blouson or a mid-length coat. Such a clever piece of clothing is available from "Elephant. Tribal Fabrics, Wild Things, and Adam et Rope. This is the result of a triple collaboration between Elephant Tribal Fabrics, Wild Things, and Adam et Rope. The cuffs combine inner ribbing and Velcro to prevent cold air from entering while improving the fit. In addition, a zipper has been added to the large inner mesh pocket originally designed for drying gloves. It can even be used like a bag.

Rod cap

10th Anniversary!

Kyoto-based store and gallery "VOU / VOU / Stick" is a shop and gallery in Kyoto, Japan.Shinsaibashi Parco," which I visited recently for an interview.I bought this cap at a pop-up store in Tokyo, Japan, and I couldn't leave work behind.

This is a special model celebrating the 10th anniversary with a new circular emblem on the front, which has been updated from the previous logo. Incidentally, the body is the original 5-panel design. Although there are many other souvenir caps that simply put the logo on the existing body, this model has a finish and attention to detail that sets it apart from the rest.

Officine Universelle Buly

Combs of Officine Universel Bury

Craftsmanship.

Perhaps it is because of the dry weather, but in winter, my hair is especially dry and messy. Of course, as a man with long hair, I carry a comb with me on a daily basis, but as a mass-produced amenity of some business hotel, if it is not comfortable to use, it does not look good either! That's why I decided to purchase a new comb from "Officine Universelle Bury. Each comb is carefully crafted through 12 intricate steps that are comparable to goldsmith's art. The comb is made of acetate, a material made from cellulose invented in France in the late 19th century, and is handmade in the only remaining workshop in Europe located in Switzerland. The essential comb teeth are also carefully placed in a width that does not damage the hair. This is a comb that you will want to show off to someone when your hair is dry, or even if your hair is not so dry.

RED KAP × FREAK'S STORE

Red Cap x Freaks Store Setup

Setup to have.

I have been searching for several years for a set-up that is not too formal. The answer was found at the Freaks Store. This is a classic corduroy set-up with a classic atmosphere available only at "Freaks Store". This is a corduroy set-up with a classic atmosphere available only at the "Freaks Store. The jacket has a stepped three-button closure, allowing you to adjust the visibility of the V-zone depending on the occasion and how you wear it. The pants have a relaxed silhouette that falls to the floor. The deep tucks provide a beautiful silhouette and a comfortable fit. The other day, I wore it with a gray shirt, a pink tie, a yellow watch with a yellow dial, and yellow socks.

I recently graduated from a paper driver's license and am now able to drive around Tokyo by myself. It is nice to be able to experience growth and to be able to do one more thing. So, I would like to make next year a year of taking on new challenges. I wish you all a happy new year!

Dis is Never That Sweater

In effect, half price.

Koozy knitwear was worn by rappers such as The Notorious B.I.G. in the 1990s. This sweater from DISISNEVER THAT is reminiscent of such a colorful and iconic piece. However, the reason why we picked it up this time is not because of that, but because of the GORE-TEX windstopper lining. There are some sweaters that use GORE-TEX for the lining, but this one caught my attention because of the gap between the plain-looking and the functional. By the way, it is reversible and becomes a simple nylon jacket when you flip it over; both the A and B sides have a good design and completely different looks, so this is definitely a "reversible is practically half the price" kind of thing.

The A's coat

Redefining authenticity.

Of course, authentic items are called authentic because they have already been perfected. Therefore, it is not easy to modify such items, but BEAMS launched "J.A." as a project to tackle this difficult problem. This Balmacaan coat, for example, looks quite ordinary. However, it is actually filled with padding and lined with a three-layer laminated material that enhances warmth and wind resistance, making it lighter and warmer than you might imagine. The wool flannel outer fabric is treated with a nidom process that produces a fine grain on the surface, which only one company in Japan is able to do. It is not noticeable at a quick glance, but that is exactly why the work is smoldering silver. It's brilliant.

BLINK

Blink shirt

Open collar even in winter.

This summer, my favorite shirt was the open-collared shirt from Blink. Made of crisp oxford fabric, it looked great on sunny summer days. As the temperature has cooled, I have been wearing it less and less, but at just the right time, a new item in a different material went on sale. The pajama-like silhouette and large buttons remain the same, but the material is a slightly brushed, light moleskin, and the colors are brown and charcoal purple. Although the shape remained the same, the new items had a heavier impression than their oxford counterparts, which blended perfectly with the materials and tones of the winter clothes. It can be worn shirt-on-shirt, over a knit, or as a light outerwear for this season. I can wear my favorite shirts in winter without hesitation. Nothing makes me happier.

CONVERSE for BIOTOP

Converse for Biotope sneakers

Ideal slip-on.

I wear slip-on sneakers almost every day these days. I find it easy to slip them on and off at the door, and I don't have to worry about the laces coming undone when I'm flailing about on a photo shoot. The lack of laces also makes them look more neat and tidy. Among these slip-on types, the new "Jack Purcell 1935" from Converse, specially ordered by "Biotope," is one that I am interested in right now. This is the first slip-on version of the flagship model, which was born this year. The upper is made of smooth leather, giving it a more mature look than usual. These are ideal slip-ons that are comfortable without being too casual.

Be careful not to overeat.

I have recently become addicted to the "chocolate chip cookies" in the hot snack section of 7-Eleven.... If you have them heated up on the spot, the chocolate melts from the crispy dough. One piece of cookie may be quite a calorie intake, but I wonder if I can consume it if I run!

POLO RALPH LAUREN

Polo Ralph Lauren Knitwear

The holiday mood starts with the outfit.

December means Christmas. Every year, one of my small pleasures at this time of year is to visit Ralph Lauren Omotesando" is one of my small pleasures during this time of year.

I feel as if I have stepped into the world of my favorite brand, Ralph Lauren. Since we're here, we picked up some holiday-inspired items for this month. The orthodox Nordic pattern and the heavy cable knit are classic. It may be hard to tell in the photo, but if you look closely, you can see the word "Polo" hidden on the left sleeve. While items that can be worn all year round and are convenient tend to be more useful, isn't it nice to lift your spirits with an item that has a sense of the season? At the "Tokyo Midtown Atrium I heard that a Christmas-spec Ralph Lauren barn is also being built in the Tokyo Midtown Atrium, so I'd like to visit that as well!

New Balance

New Balance Sneakers

Long live Barefoot.

Perhaps it is because I have always worn low-tech sneakers, but I prefer shoes with a grounding feel. The "Minimus" shoes I recently acquired from New Balance are exactly the kind of "barefoot shoes" that I like. I recently acquired a pair of New Balance "Minimus" shoes, which feel like walking barefoot. They feel as if you are walking barefoot. The "Minimus" was originally developed as a performance shoe, but the new "Minimus" is a pair of lifestyle-oriented shoes covered entirely in suede. Thanks to its stylish face, it blends well with the denim and sweats I usually wear. The dark brown is my favorite color, and it looks great when I change to the pink laces that come with them! It is said that barefoot shoes are shoes that bring out the natural strength of the foot, and wearing them seems to be a great way to train your feet.

Milestone Headlights

My First Heden.

A headlight was a must-have item for the "FTR" trail run race I recently participated in. As a super beginner, I thought there was not much difference between headlights, so I prepared a random one.... Mr. Yamamoto, the deputy editor, told me, "That's not bright enough for riding in the mountains, you need a headlight with at least 400 lumens," and recommended me a Milestone headlight. I purchased the "MS-K1" because I liked the coloring of the body and the belt. It does not slip off while I am running and is so light that I forget I am wearing it. Thanks to this, I was able to complete the race safely. Now that I think about it, I really shudder to think what would have happened if I had not been able to see in front of me in the dark mountains where I lost the course. (Photo: Mr. Kato)Read the article for more details.) In the future, we should be more careful in our gear selection.

OUTDOOR PRODUCTS

Outdoor Products Boston Bag

What color should I make next?

The Shinkansen is the only mode of transportation for returning home. Since the airport and home are quite far away, the option of flying is ruled out. In that case, it is difficult to carry a carry-on bag in the back of the car, and it is a bit of a nuisance to put it at my feet. Recently, however, I got this lightweight, easy-to-handle bag from Outdoor Products, and now I feel comfortable when traveling. I like its American style and have been thinking about getting one for a while, so I am very happy with this purchase. I chose the color purple for my mood and the larger "232" model. According to the clerk, this model can easily hold about 3 nights and 4 days of luggage! By the way, I took it on a business trip to Hokkaido last weekend. I want another color because it is convenient and cute. By the way, I'm also aiming for the "Daypack Giant".
