Things I want for the New Year.
As well as the items in this column, I would especially like to draw your attention to the items in the January issue of the “MONTHLY JOURNAL”. "NEW YEAR, NEW THINGS". I selected wallets, horse items, underwear, etc.Click here to read the article!
Polo Ralph Lauren
Polo Ralph Lauren Jacket
Immediate winter!
I picked up one fleece jacket because of its simple, quirky design. It was dyed in navy and looked cool, and I felt it would fit in with all kinds of casual styles. Moreover, it was not a door item, but a Polo Ralph Lauren item.
I like the fact that it is a Polo Ralph Lauren item, not a door item!
As proof, in addition to the name tag at the neck, there is a small embroidered logo of a polo player on horseback in the same color as the body color on the chest pocket, although it is hard to see in the photo. Polo Ralph Lauren" in the spring/summer season
Lauren's preppy image for the spring/summer season is betrayed in a good way by these clothes. If you welcome this item into your closet, you will find it useful right away.

GREGORY
Gregory waist pack
Fourth partner.
I carry a backpack on days when I carry a PC, a canvas tote on days when I wear chinos, and a satchel on days when I have little luggage. I use these different bags for different purposes, but I would like to add another new bag to the mix. It is something in between a canvas tote and a satchel. A satchel bag will not fit all the things I carry every day, such as my keys, card case, cell phone, bandana, and tumbler (small). I also don't like to fold my bills, so I prefer long wallets. That's why I found the "Tail Runner" waist pack by Gregory. First of all, I liked the color scheme!
The gray against the black base works well. The capacity is 3 liters. It is large enough to hold all my essentials, and there is a mesh pocket inside for keys and other items. I am looking forward to welcoming my new partner and starting off the year 2026 with a bang.

SLOANE
Sloan Knitwear
This is the second one, and the fourth in total!
Sloane knitwear is an indispensable winter garment. Almost all of the knits in my closet at home are from this brand. I counted up one crew-neck type and three turtleneck types of different materials and knitting fabrics. I love the cashmere, merino wool, and silk blends, all of which are comfortable and universal in appearance, yet sophisticated in silhouette and detail. They're a bit different from the rustic-looking things made by long-established imported knitters. And we recently welcomed this bulky type. Actually, I already have a black one of the same type...but I fell in love at first sight with the new color, mocha, and bought it. The material is Sloane's original blend of extra fine baby merino wool and cashmere, which was ordered from an Italian spinning company. The thick knit fabric keeps you warm when you wear it. It's a go-to item in the midst of winter. This time, I also got a knit hat made of the same material.

TATRAS
Tatras tote bag
Overturned image.
Last December, I went to an exhibition at TATLAS. The contents of the exhibition were the unveiling of the Spring/Summer 2026 collection. The first thing that caught my eye was this tote bag. I picked it up because I was attracted by its faded texture as if it had been used for a long time and its size, which is perfect for daily use. What I particularly liked about it was that it had the look of a vintage coal bag used by coal miners in the past. The handle is sewn around the body of the bag, giving it a distinctive appearance that makes you want to use it vigorously. I also like the fact that the bag seems to change its appearance as it is carried over and over again. The embroidered logo in the middle of the bag is also stylish. TARATLAS has a strong image of down jackets and other clothing, but this is a product that will change that preconceived notion. We are happy to hear that the actual product will have a longer handle than the one in the photo, making it even more user-friendly. Sales will begin in mid-February.

I am happy for you.
About 3 years ago, we were both over 30 years old and we were drinking -> club course every week or Y-san, who had been drinking and going to the club every week or every other week for about 2 years even though we were both over 30 years old. While I thought he had played with me for a lifetime to my dismay, he finally gave birth to a child at the end of last year. I am happy for Mr. Y, Mrs. M, and her sister, who is the only one who calls me "big brother.
RWCHE
Stuffed Roach
The first in a commemorative series.
When it comes to deciding whether I like something or not, I don't want to worry about what others think of it or how they look at it as much as possible. Goto-kun is doing just that, and I think he is creating the value of what he doesn't have. (Is that too much of a compliment?) He has been involved in the movie "Fargo. So far, he has created a series with a motif of the movie "Fargo" and items that he buys in and out of Mexico and sells at his store "Kiosko" (especially boot items!!!). On the surface, Roach's work looks pop, but it does not hide the stubbornness that lies behind the fact that he only makes and sells items that he likes. The 16cm x 11cm size is also a good size for adults to enjoy or for children to give as a gift. I would like to leave it with my sister and ask her to put it under my nephew's pillow and take a video of his reaction.

MUJI
MUJI Pajamas
Because I wear it 365 days a year.
In summer, I wear a T-shirt and shorts, and in winter, a sweat top and bottom. I have never been particular about what I wear to bed, but a certain brand of pajamas that I gave to my father once led me to choose pajamas for myself for the past several years. The first place that came to mind was MUJI, and when I went to the store, I found a wide selection of plain, patterned, and seasonal pajamas in different materials. The prices are reasonable, and I wanted to have several sets to wash them, so I added to my collection each season, and now I have several different kinds at home. This new series is made of double gauze fabric for spring and summer, with no side seams for comfort, a MUJI staple. Made of organic cotton, the loose fit promises comfort. The waist is fully elastic with an adjustment opening, and you can pull out the elastic and replace it with a nylon cord made by an outdoor manufacturer, and tighten it with a cord lock. Living in pajamas makes me feel like a proper person somehow, which is another reason why I recommend it.

GLOBE SPECS
Globespecs Glasses
For the first time in my life .
Every time I hear older people talk about how their body's fat points get worse or hurt as they get older, I wonder if it's true that the same things are going to happen to them as well.
I used to be a young person who was always skeptical about the possibility that my body would get worse as I got older. I was a young man who was always skeptical. But now that I am in my late 30s, I understand more and more that you are right. My eyesight was the same way, and I pretended to ignore the fact that it was getting worse, and I was too scared to put contact lenses in my eyes. In the midst of all this, I read Commune
H's "Resume of Style," I had the opportunity to interview Mr. Okada of "Globespecs," which led me to purchase a pair of glasses for the first time in my life. The reason for my choice was simple: I thought Mr. Okada's story was very nice. Of course, the quality of the product itself is important, but I am the type of person who is attracted to the story behind the product and the face of the creator. This is a GlobeSpecs original, and I had Mr. Okada personally diagnose my eyes. I don't want to lose or break it when I'm drunk, so I don't wear it outside of my home and office at the moment.

EBBTIDE RECORDS
Tenugui hand towel from Ebbtide Records
Tenugui is practical & a statement of intent.
Last November 30 was JJJ's "the light tour," which I had been looking forward to for a long time. I ran into a friend of mine who was also heading to Osaka on the platform at Tokyo Station, and I saw many faces of people I met at the venue "ZEPP NAMBA" where the sound was played. The next day, I went to "Evtide Records," which I had always planned to visit when I went to Osaka. How many years had it been since I had met the owner, MICHIOSHKA, whom I had asked to contribute to the "Trasmundo" project last year? The store's tenugui (hand towel) that we got with the record was originally a header design for the website, and was created by a member of the Osaka hardcore band AFTER, named Foreign F. As for the reason for making the tenugui, MICHIOSHKA says, "I'm an ignorant person who doesn't care about clothes, so when I make something related to the store, I think I should be able to explain how to use it, and I made the tenugui because I use it so often when sea kayaking and climbing mountains! He said, "I made the tenugui because I use it frequently when I go sea kayaking and mountain climbing. I will visit again with some yokan (bean jelly) as a souvenir.

Every New Year, I set a goal to stretch every day, squat every day, and so on. To break free from such a three-day slump, I decided at the end of last year to set a more realistic and favorite goal: “Eat breakfast every day in 2026. January 1 arrived. I woke up at 14:00.

Yoshiokubo Shoes
Put it on, take it off, and adjust it.
While we tend to focus only on outerwear, I picked up this pair of sneakers from Yoshiokubo, inspired by the “dance” concept for the spring/summer 2026 season. Inspired by the "Dance" concept for the spring/summer 2026 season, these sneakers have a mysterious appearance with numerous Gobelin-woven logo patches attached to them. These patches can be removed and rearranged at will. Even if you get tired of the design, you can change the position and number of patches and enjoy that pleasant moment of putting your feet into a new pair of shoes again and again. Patches come in a variety of sizes and designs, so the possibilities are endless, depending on your individual taste. Why don't you customize your shoes just like you customize your outerwear with pins and badges?

FreshService
Fresh Service Boxer Shorts
Travel companion.
For the past several years, I have been buying two pairs of inexpensive underwear for 1,000 yen or so and replacing them in a short span of time, based on the idea that underwear is consumable. However, as you can imagine, they ended up being rather expensive and uncomfortable to wear, so I chose these boxer shorts to break out of this vicious cycle. Fresh Service“ is a line that focuses on ”travel" and pursues comfort while traveling and on the road.
Tour
Fresh Service has released these boxer shorts from its "Fresh Tour Service" line, which pursues comfort while traveling and on the road. The cotton jersey material is highly breathable and feels light against the skin to keep you comfortable and dry. The fabric is also quick-drying, so you can wash it daily at home or wash it on your trip and use it again right away. I'll be in my 40s soon. I want to be a cool guy who doesn't skimp on underwear.

PAPAS
Pappas muffler
Wrap the sweatshirt.
Scarves are knit. Pappas has introduced a sweatshirt scarf that overturns this stereotype. The material is Pappas's standard hang-knit lined wool. It is knitted slowly and carefully without putting stress on the yarn, so it is characterized by its thick, fluffy, and soft texture. The ribbed edges are also a good touch. It is as if you are wearing a sweatshirt over your shoulders, adding a sense of fun to your coordination. It is also great that it can be used for a long season since it is less seasonal than knitwear. I would like to enjoy wearing it with various items and in various ways, as if it were just a layered item rather than a scarf.

VIBSOX
Bib socks
Savior for your feet.
Bib Socks' socks with antibacterial and deodorant functions have an image of thicker socks. But there is also a dress type. As I usually wear leather shoes, steamy feet are an everyday occurrence for me. But since I got these "Rib Pile Socks," I believe that the smell peculiar to wearing leather shoes has been alleviated...! Incidentally, the soles of these socks are made of pile, so even though they are dress-type socks, they also have firm cushioning. This kind of thoughtfulness is appreciated when wearing them with leather shoes that have hard soles. Of course, like the thicker type, it deodorizes sweat and aging odors 99% in 30 minutes, and it also has an antibacterial function that inhibits the growth of bacteria and viruses. The pack is also cute, making it a perfect little gift.

VAINL ARCHIVE × Marmot
Vinal Archive x Marmot Down Jacket
Down the Street.
My personal feeling is that “Marmot” is all about down jackets. This is largely due to the mammoth parka, also known as the “Biggie,” and I have a certain longing for this brand, which I can feel in the context of street culture. From this perspective, we picked up a down jacket co-produced with "Vinyl Archive. It has a fat silhouette similar to a mammoth parka, but with a shorter length for a good balance of modernity. The fabric is made of GORE-TEX® windstopper and is filled with 750 fill power down, making it a lightweight and highly cold resistant jacket. Unless you are in an extremely cold region, this is about right for Japanese winters. Finally, one small point to mention is the location of the "Marmot" logo. The logo is usually placed on the left chest, but I like the fact that it is just above the pocket and just above the zipper.

NICHOLAS DALEY
Nicholas Daley track jersey
Jerseys in a classy way.
When I was in elementary school, my junior high school brother's generation was dominated by “Puma” jerseys, or "pugers," as they were called, as fashionable clothing (*maybe it was just the countryside). As a country boy, I found these older people irresistibly cool, and that is how I fell in love with jerseys. Now that I am 28 years old, what would I wear for everyday?
The answer is a piece from Nicholas Daley. The navy-based design with green, bordeaux, and white multi-striped stripes has a somewhat schooly feel to it, giving it a finish that could be described as modern-day preppy. The piping along the raglan lines, wide ribbed sleeves and hem, and double hoop zips all play a role in making the track jersey a street wear. While the aforementioned puger was worn with the usual style of a set-up and dulcimer waistcoats, I'd like to wear this with chinos and loafers for a more dignified look.

Shoes by Enderschema
Security pocket at the foot.
Every season, Enderschema's shoemaking is a nice betrayal that makes you think, "Oh, yeah! Every season, Enderskima's shoemaking has a nice betrayal that makes us think, "Oh, yeah! And this time was no different. What a wallet covering the laces of these neat dress shoes! It is made of the same material as the upper and has a double zipper to hold coins and other items. It may seem like a strange idea, but it is a serious one, and the design accentuates the shoe like the folded-up laces seen on soccer shoes of yesteryear. I don't think I'd ever take coins out of here when paying at a cash register, but it looks like a good place to keep some spare change when traveling abroad.

HOMME PLISSÉ ISSEY MIYAKE
Scarf by Homme Pulisse Issey Miyake
Curved beauty around the neck.
I bought two scarves this winter because of the cold weather, and they are really nice. Just like when I bought a new pair of shoes, I feel that even if the clothes I wear are the same as usual, just by adding new accessories to them, the whole outfit looks fresh and new. I am now in the process of researching my third scarf, and one of the candidates is "Om
One of the candidates is this one from . One of the candidates is this one from Homme prisse ISSEY MIYAKE.
It is an item from a knit series named "GEAR" and is made of cashmere, which is literally soft to the touch. However, the most important point is its shape. As you can see, it is designed in a circular shape so that it can follow the curves of the body such as the head and neck area nicely. So you can wrap it around your head as a scarf or wear it like a snood. There are holes in several places so you can put your arms through them as well. Most of the scarves I have are basic, so I'm interested in something a little different like this for my third scarf.

I made this for the first time. The taste was okay, but the shape always collapses when serving. I would like to try it again, but I don't want to eat it often. But it is really a crazy dish to put white sauce, meat sauce, pasta, and cheese on top of each other.
LUCKY LOOPS
Lucky Loops Blouson
A knit with a good start.
The latest item on our list is a blouson from Lucky Loops, a brand specializing in knitwear that has just launched for the fall/winter 2026 season. The name of the brand is derived from the hope that the wearer's good fortune will continue to flow like the knitting. The classic knitted fabric is reminiscent of old clothes, but it does not give off a mean mood, and the shoulders, length, and width are modern. It is moderately thick and warm, and if you wear one under a down jacket, it will be perfect as a warm-up layer. I wore it almost every day during a very cold New Year's vacation. I hope that my 2026 year will also be a lucky year for me!

Patagonia
Patagonia Neck Warmer
A + alpha at the neck.
Clothes may be plain, but play with accessories. This may be the way I like to dress. That is why I bought this neck warmer from Patagonia this month. It all started when I went to Patagonia Sapporo, which opened in December.
Sapporo, which opened in December. I was attracted by the design in the store, which has all kinds of items, and made a decision immediately. When I tried it on, I found it to be a good fit and lightweight. It is compact and easy to carry, so it is useful for traveling, in town, and for sports. By the way, the material used is 100% recycled polyester fleece. As you would expect from Patagonia, they have not skipped a beat when it comes to environmental friendliness. We are not sure what the pattern is, but the colors are nice and pop, even if they are a bit toxic. This design will probably only be available this year, so be quick if you want one!

Wilson.
Wilson cap
Souvenir type.
American sports brand Wilson recently opened a store in Marunouchi. Tennis, basketball, football and other sports are behind the brand's clothing, but they also have items for everyday use. Among them, I have been wearing this cap recently. In my personal opinion, the ideal cap is something that can be worn casually whenever I feel like it. That's why I like the rough look of this cap, like a souvenir cap from overseas. I think the one-washed cotton material further enhances this mood. And the price is reasonable, so I feel close to them. It goes great with the clothes I wear, and I think it will be a longtime companion.

CLUB SARCASM
Club Circumstance Anorak
Function and fashion in neutral.
The quality of the clothes themselves is a matter of course, but who makes them and what they are made with in mind is another point of concern when making a selection. The items from “CLUB SARCASM” by Shihito Kouno satisfy both of these criteria. While working as a professional soccer player, Mr. Kouno's love of clothes led him to start his career as a designer, and he is particular about practicality for everyday use. For example, this anorak is made in a moderately fitted silhouette for ease of movement, and is made of metal nylon with a wrinkled feel. The material used is a metal nylon with a wrinkled feel, calculated not to be too sporty. It is also thin, so it can be used as an inner layer, which is refreshing. From a “fashion” point of view, "functionality" is not necessarily supreme. The key may be whether or not one can feel the pleasure of dressing up in everyday life. I felt the persuasiveness of this idea because it is embodied by an athlete.
