Gym Master, NEWLY, and the streets of Yotsuya.

When it comes to the distinct character of Yotsuya, it’s a neighborhood where a mature culture has taken root—home to Arakicho, a destination for industry professionals from Kawada-cho (where Fuji TV was once located) and Wakaba-cho (where Bunka Broadcasting used to be). Many readers may not be very familiar with the area, and for younger people, it might have the image of a place they visit to feel a bit more grown-up. It was to this Yotsuya that musician NEWLY came. Wearing a “Gym Master” jacket—a sign of the approaching cold season—he strolled through the streets of Yotsuya.

Every once in a while, turn up your collar and dress a little more formally than usual.

〈Gym Master〉 padded jacket ￥16,280; 〈Gym Master〉 pants ¥8,690; all other items are the stylist’s personal belongings

Every neighborhood has its own unique atmosphere, and as dusk falls in Yotsuya, the sophisticated vibe of this adult-oriented neighborhood becomes even more pronounced. When you flip up the chin strap on the Padded JKT’s front placket, it significantly boosts warmth and makes you look a bit more put-together than usual. The drop pockets are designed as three-dimensional double pockets, so they can easily hold plenty of items while maintaining a sleek look. In the back alleys of Arakicho in Yotsuya, where the old townscape remains intact, the vivid colors of the padded jacket stand out with remarkable presence.

The five styles featured here—with a focus on outerwear—should let you enjoy fashion that’s true to yourself with a little something extra, while keeping up with the latest trends without going overboard. As long as you have 〈Gym Master〉 apparel, you’re all set for the cold season.
