City Skater and Bellwood Maid.

BELLWOODMADE MFG CO. was created by projecting the inspiration of the designer's experiences, music, and culture that once moved him. The brand's caps and other thoughtful accessories, centered on bag items, have been well received, and the brand also offers a full line of apparel for town use. For this issue, we asked five city skaters who dash through the streets of Tokyo to try on the brand's mainstay pants. Bellwood Made pants are well suited to the style and sensibility of skaters.
