FEATURE｜Shopping Addict 2018 Dec. - Editor's Favorite
A total of 408 items appeared in this year's "Shopping Addict". The tastes and preferences of each of the nine editorial staff members are eclectic and truly free themselves, but we think that's why our readers enjoy them so much! The shopping addiction will continue in 2019. See you next year!
It has been a year of bad luck for me, but I only just noticed it the other day. Thanks to that? I have not experienced any visible misfortune. I guess that's just the way it is.
Chacori x Hike tote bag
HIKE's 19SS show was held in Tokyo. While the collaboration with "The North Face" caught my attention, I was more interested in the tote bag that the model was carrying. I could see a small logo on the bottom of the bag, but could not make out the words. When I picked it up first thing at the exhibition, I found "CHACOLI" stamped on it. . I thought to myself, "I see, the stoic and minimalist worldviews of these two products may indeed be a good match. I personally have no complaints about the bag, which is large enough to carry a lot of stuff roughly and is made of grained leather, which is my favorite type of leather. I'm a kid who carries a backpack 350 days a year, but I think I've outgrown that.

Tokyo 2020 Official Licensed Products
The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games will be held the year after next. To make this festival of the century more exciting, we are sure that many colorful projects will be launched in various places in the coming year. One of them is officially licensed products, but to be honest, I have never been able to get my teeth into these kinds of products. . To put it simply, they are often not very cool. . This is the first one that made me want to wear it. Isn't the appearance of the modest use of the word "TOKYO2020," which is so catchy, beautiful? It would be absurd to talk about the materials used for this kind of product, but the materials are selected from raw materials and made from scratch. The high quality of the product is immediately apparent when you touch it. There are many Tokyo 2020 officially licensed products that will be released in the future, but I think this item is outstandingly stylish.

Swicock Shoes
. It is a joy to see a product from Japan being accepted around the world, even beyond the seas. Although "SUICOK" is well known and proven in Japan, the true value of this brand cannot be accurately grasped without looking at the rest of the world. The popularity of the brand is not just half-baked. Especially in Europe.This pageSee. What is the secret of its popularity? I think it's a combination of high fashion and high functionality, and Swicock combines the two at a very high level. Of the many items in the lineup, sandals are probably the most famous, but what struck me personally were these boa loafers made of corduroy. The idea of using corduroy for shoes is wonderful, and the modern look is completely removed from the usual dowdy look. It is a pair with a new sensation.

Kluane Mountaineering Down Jacket
We introduced Down last month.. but they are honor students . . and this one is a bit of an oddball. Have you heard of Kluane Mountaineering, a Canadian manufacturer of top-quality down sleeping bags? Each one is made by hand and has a somewhat old-fashioned look. However, the down inside is made of high-quality Canadian down and is super lightweight, so it has perfect functions for practical use. In terms of design, it has a number of snap buttons that make you think, "No, no, not too many. . The design is great, with a good amount of quirkiness, such as the number of snap buttons and the slightly longer length of the garment. I wondered where I could find such a quirky down, and it turned out to be "Reshop. Mmmm , the best.

Salomon Backpacks
Salomon's backpacks are overwhelmingly used in the trail running scene. I myself have used them in all kinds of races, from short, middle, and long runs, because of their ease of use and versatility. However, I had never used a backpack for hiking until I saw this one. . That is the "OUT" series, which will make its debut this fall/winter. The front is made of 4-way stretch with excellent elasticity, and the back panel is made of EVA foam to provide excellent storage capacity and outstanding carrying comfort. The capacity is available in 20 (+4) liters, 30 (+5) liters, and 38 (+6) liters, covering everything from day hikes to overnight stays. And yet, as you can see, the appearance is extremely simple. The dull coloring and monochromatic use, which is not typical of an outdoor brand, are also intriguing.

Echo Shoes
Echo" has been steadily increasing its presence in the fashion and sneaker markets, with select stores and the sneaker specialty store "mita sneakers" now handling the brand. Echo's distinctive feature is not only the quality of its leathers, which are so superior that they are supplied to top-rated maisons, but also the overwhelming comfort of its footwear. The "BIOM VENTURE MENS YAK GTX," released in the outdoor category, uses the direct injection manufacturing method, which requires advanced technology and many years of experience. By integrally molding the upper and sole into the mold of the foot, it provides a comfortable, enveloping fit. In addition, I like the beautiful appearance of the matte texture of the durable yak nubuck and the technical-looking sole pattern that harmonizes beautifully. And yet, they are equipped with GORE-TEX® SURROUND® technology for 360-degree breathability and waterproofing. I think it is an impeccable product.

Arc Phoenix Hanten
Perhaps it is only natural that I am Japanese, but I (think) I look good in kimonos. As one might expect, I never wear a kimono, but when I wear a yukata on a trip, I feel at home. Therefore, items that remind me of kimonos always catch my eye. However, modern functionality is preferable. To that end, we present the Hanten jacket from Arc Phoenix. It is made of tear- and abrasion-resistant Dynamonas, and Polartec Alpha, which combines breathability and heat retention, is used for insulation. In addition, the use of functional fibers that suppress static electricity generation in some of the seams protects against the fear of static electricity, which is also a very nice and sober point. The delicate detail work, such as the hooks on the front and the zip pockets, which do not interfere with the clean design, is also excellent.

Hoka Oneone shoes
This year's Osaka Marathon, in which I served as a pacer to help model Minaya Asano achieve her goal of a sub-4 finish. Although I was unable to lead her as a result, there were some benefits I gained from not running at my own pace. . Anyway, it gave me a wider field of vision. Thanks to this, I was able to fully enjoy the entire event, including the unique Osaka cityscape, the cheering along the roadsides, and the ample aid stations. The "Clifton 5" by Hoka Oneone supported me during my run. The extra-thick sole cushioning and resilience, combined with the unique Meta Rocker technology, made for smooth running. The engineered mesh upper, which is more breathable than before, keeps the foot always comfortable inside. In fact, I was able to run the entire race without feeling fatigue even after 30 kilometers, and I felt almost no damage the next day. Once again, I was able to experience the superior performance of the Hoka Oneone. No wonder this series has won so many awards. They are great shoes.

Wallaby by Clarks Originals x Wo Ware
"Yo, yo, wife! Hola hola wife! I've got a Fumakira on me!"The Wu-Tang Clan is one of the most popular hip-hop groups in New York City in the 1990s. The Wu-Tang Clan's debut album, "Wu-Tang Clan," was released 25 years ago, and Clarks Originals has created a special wallaby to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their first album release. Co-created with Wu-Wear, Wu-Tang's clothing label, this truly commemorative pair features the words "Enter the Wu-Tang" and "9 November 1993" on the tongue and Wu-Tang's logo on the heel, respectively. In addition to black, they are also available in beige and yellow. Personally, I prefer the black ones.

Souvenir soap
I have always loved things that smell good, and I buy a variety of them whenever I have the chance. This soap from "Souvenir" is one of the first "good smelling" items I have bought in a long time. It is made in the factory of Savonneriez Brussels, which has a royal warrant from the Belgian royal family, and the lather is smooth and pleasant. The shape is a bridge that fits comfortably in your hand. The curved design was born out of the European culture of applying directly to the skin without using a towel. The left photo shows "Cotton," made from organic ingredients, and the right one is "Rich Shea," rich in shea butter that keeps the skin soft with its high moisturizing power. Both of these products have a faint scent after washing, but it is a wonder that the smell lasts for a long time. You may be fooled and give them a try. We recommend them.

Sonos Speakers
It has been quite a while since we entered the era of listening to music via Bluetooth®, but the Sonos smart speaker that arrived from the U.S. this year heralds the dawn of a new era. It is already widely known as a mainstream smart speaker in the U.S. and other countries, but what is most interesting is that with the dedicated "Sonos Controller" app, users can listen to over 80 music streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify via Wi-Fi. The most interesting thing is that the dedicated app "Sonos Controller" allows users to listen to over 80 music streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify via Wi-Fi. Furthermore, since "Amazon Alexa" is included, it can also be used to control home appliances and other smart home features. The sound quality and range can also be set to match the shape of the room, making this speaker a new sensation, but one that is fun to use. For this quality and this price ......, it is an absolute must buy.

Anaheim Storage Boxes
Year-end cleaning. This year, I want to be clean and tidy to welcome the New Year, but I am not efficient at all, and I find myself in the routine hell of opening a book and spending a couple of hours with it open. So, I decided to make it look cool! I bought a bunch of these storage boxes, which are large enough to hold A4 files, and I thought I could stuff pictures, shoes, and other small items in them separately, in addition to documents. They are easy to assemble, and although they are made of paper, they are strong enough. By the way, I bought 10 boxes and so far 5 of them are already packed. They look nice when piled up, inorganic and clean. There are many boxes of this type, such as the Banker's Boxes by Fellowes, but the size, the design around the logo, and the fact that they are made in Japan are also important points for purchasing these boxes.

East Far East Sweatshirts & Hoodies
This brand is made in a craftsmanlike factory in "East Tokyo", just as its name suggests. . It is not widely known yet, but the quality is unmistakable. Both sweatshirts and hoodies are made of original 14.5 oz. Japanese lined fabric with long ribs at the hem and sleeves, drop shoulders, and other details. This super heavy-weight fabric, which can hardly be manufactured in Japan, provides an excellent fit. The body width is neither too tight nor too wide, and this exquisite silhouette cannot be found anywhere else. The creator is not from the fashion field, but is one of a growing number of people who, despite (or perhaps because of?) their main job, are not experts in their field. This is a good example of a product that is not the maker's main business (or is it because of that?), but is a product of a professional. The colors range from basic to vivid, so you'll want more than one.

Sewey's coat
This year, too, the down trend is sweeping through the city, and this coat is perfect for when you want to deviate from that trend, but don't want to compromise on functionality or design. This coat was made by "soe. The outside is made of ultra-lightweight high-density nylon taffeta, and the inside is filled with PrimaLoft, an ultra-fine microfiber material. PrimaLoft, by the way, is a functional material that excels in heat retention and flexibility, while being as light as down, with water repellency not found in down. The collar integrated with the coat is also made of the same material. Black is also available as a color variation, but this year's mood is to choose a dusky white color like this. White also gives the coat a "Jedi" look. The "SOE READY TO WEAR" on the left sleeve, together with the modern finish, is as good as it gets.

I was drawn in by one sip of tea I had at Gen Gen An in Shibuya . I also like coffee , but K.O. because of its wide range of flavors and interesting culture. This tea bag is probably the best for an introduction because it is easy to use but tastes great. The Graduates Black Tea is rich in vitamin C, and the mix of domestic lemon and black tea, with a hint of hasty lemon, makes it a good morning cup. The loquat leaves in Biwa-no-ha Roasted Tea have long been said to have a variety of beneficial properties, most notably for soothing nasal congestion and inflammation. Since it is low in caffeine, it is good as a nighttime drink before going to bed, or as a gift for women. For tea utensils, we chose Ueide Choemon Kiln. The bright and delicate color finish that is characteristic of Kutani ware and this shape and white color are simply beautiful. A relaxing New Year's Day with a tea set like this is also a good thing.

Fashion and Philosophy, edited by Agnes Rocamora & Aneke Smelik , supervised by Hiroshi Ashida
This book deciphers various philosophers and their ideas from ancient and modern times, using fashion as a starting point. The book is a fascinating look at the connections between fashion and famous philosophers who are not usually associated with fashion, such as Marx on capitalism, Freud on psychoanalysis, Roland Barthes on semiotics, Deleuze on the body, Baudrillard on postmodern fashion, Butler on gender, and many others. The viewpoints that connect famous philosophers with fashion are astonishing. Fashion in everyday life is often discussed only in terms of whether it is fashionable or luxurious, but when put on an academic table, one realizes how rich fashion can be. This book is like an ordeal of thinking through fashion, and it requires reading comprehension, patience, and time!

TUDOR's Black Bay Fifty-Eight.
. I have a watch that I purchased 7 or 8 years ago and love it. I like its universal design that can be worn with any outfit, but I also feel that it is time for me to try something else... . . In the midst of my search, I have my eye on TUDOR, which landed on Japanese shores this fall. Founded in 1926 by Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex, the brand is known for its quality and performance. Of course, the movements are made in Switzerland and manufactured completely in-house. We picked up the "Black Bay Fifty-Eight," which was introduced this year. This model is based on TUDOR's first diver's watch and has a case size of 39 mm. The most important thing about this watch is its cool and calm design with a black dial. This is a watch that can be used for a long time if it is properly cared for, so it is recommended for those who are looking for a wristwatch now.

District United Arrows special order Balmacaan Coat
Two years ago I bought a Balmacaan coat at a thrift store not far from my house. I like its slightly oversized construction with checked fabric lining, and I have been wearing it a lot this winter. . I remember when I bought it, I was surprised to see a faint lipstick hickey on the cuff, which made me wonder what kind of a dandy guy was wearing it. Now it's a good memory (laughs). The photo shows a Balmacaan coat specially ordered by "District United Arrows" for "SAI. It is based on a British-made coat that belonged to Hirofumi Kurino, the store's director, and has a rounded collar that gives it a somewhat elegant look.

F.C.E. x Brown's Beach bench coat
Ever since I first became interested in clothes, I have loved vintage clothing. I have bought a lot of different kinds of clothes, but I especially like woolen clothes from the 1930s to the 1950s. They were made before the spread of synthetic fibers in clothing. I think the reason for this is that I can best enjoy the rich expression and rustic feel of the material, which can be said to be the real appeal of secondhand clothing. And I think the best item for this is "Brown's Beach. That's why I was surprised when I saw the special-order item from "F.C.E." in the photo. The high-spec eVent material is layered around the shoulders. From my vintage clothes brain, this is a combination of materials that would never go well together. However, when I look at it like this, it doesn't seem out of place at all. This is an ambitious product that combines functional materials from decades ago with those of today. I simply take my hat off to this idea.

With a focus on outdoor and military wear, the brand offers men's clothing with an earthy feel every season. The mock-neck fleece shown in the photo is an item that was used extensively in this season's look. The camo and leopard prints glimpsed under the many layered tops were irresistibly cool, and I was curious about them and their wild-chic styling. I thought I would try to imitate them right away.

When one thinks of a style icon in eyeglasses, John Lennon is the first person who comes to mind. The models that he wore during his lifetime are well-known, such as metal-framed round spectacles, Boston-type "punt" spectacles, and celluloid-framed "Mayfair" spectacles. However, as a collector of eyeglasses, he also enjoyed many other types of eyeglasses. One of them was a combination of celluloid and metal frames. He then turned his attention to "SAI Specs," a collaboration between "SAI" and "Globespess," the world's number one optician. The sunglasses you see here were created from a maniac's point of view, which is different from the so-called "John" image. Moreover, the model name is "Winston," which is taken from his middle name. There have been a variety of glasses made by John's model, but this is a very clever and unique point of view of "SAI" and "GLOBSPECTS", don't you think?

Cheverny by Paraboot
I am a regular customer of the shoe brand "Paraboot". I find that I have more than 10 pairs of shoes from this brand in my shoe closet. The reason why I like them so much is because they have a robust construction that makes full use of the Norwegian manufacturing method, can be worn roughly, and are flexible enough to blend in with casual outfits without feeling uncomfortable in spite of being leather shoes. The same is true of the "Shavel Knee" shoes we picked up this time. It follows the shoe hole design of ghillie shoes, but is boldly rearranged with an outer wing style, tongue leather (tan), and grained leather upper. It is a variant that is far from orthodox, but the fact that it is strangely well put together is probably due to the sole and the Norvegian manufacturing method. At first glance, they look dressy, but in fact, they are extremely tough. For me, who wears shoes all the time, these shoes are in good shape.

I wondered if the photos would do it justice, but I selected this back twill ball collar coat because I liked the color. It is an exquisite shade of straight beige with a hint of green. The material called "Artilosaricosh," which is a special highly processed blend of nylon and polyester, produces a natural puffiness and supple texture. .

I know I sound like a student, but I've been so dismayed at how dark the contents of my closet are that I've been trying to incorporate some color somewhere. . However, I can't just go out and buy a bunch of new things, so I've decided to turn to scarves. The one I was interested in was a wool 100% scarf with a printed laundry label mark from Acne Studios' new 2018AW season. It's a trendy technique, but when it involves motifs that you wouldn't normally think of designing, you're struck by the playfulness of it. In addition to the one in the photo, there are other color variations, for a total of 8 patterns! The scarf is a great way to break out of the black cloak.

Enderschema tote bag
I was looking for a new bag when I found this tote from "Enderschema". The brand's signature vegetable-tanned leather is used, so the original texture of the leather and the way it changes over time are highlights of this product. The look of the bag reminds me of a record bag, and the smooth leather is another point I personally like about it. The largest size has a large gusset, so it can easily hold documents and a notebook computer. If you don't have much in the bag, you can fold it up and use it as a clutch. I think the design sense of the "Enderschema" creations is a good balance that can be used for both on- and off-duty purposes.

Los Angeles Apparel T-Shirts
During the cold season, I wear only cotton T-shirts. I honestly don't like the warm-keeping ones you see in winter because they make me feel hot on the train or indoors. . Therefore, I have a pile of short-sleeved plain T-shirts in my closet at home. After comparing T-shirts of various brands, this is one that has been a hit for a long time. The products of Los Angeles Apparel, newly founded by the CEO of American Apparel, which took the world by storm with its simplicity and low prices, are attractive for their solid 6.5 oz. fabric and rich color palette. In addition to T-shirts, they also seem to be releasing hoodies and sweatshirts, so I'm thinking of giving them a try.

Scissors china
Hasami-yaki is a traditional Nagasaki craft with a history of over 400 years. The plates and cups painted with indigo pigment called "Kuresu" on translucent white porcelain are similar to Scandinavian tableware and are attracting a lot of attention. Items from the Hasamiyaki ceramics brand "Hasami" are characterized by their rich color palette. Personally, I like the pop coloring that looks like something you would find in an American diner. With numerous sizes and molds to choose from, you can put a variety of dishes on them. . They are also stackable for convenient storage. The prices are reasonable, so these items from "Scissors" would make a great gift. They are the best daily necessities that add color to your everyday dining table.

Loa shoes
By all means, outdoor shoes, especially when it comes to trekking shoes, are lumpy. . not something I would wear on the street. But I like that design. So I wanted to wear them in town, too. Then I found a pair of shoes by the Italian brand "Roa. They look like trekking shoes, but they don't feel mountainous at all. They are luxurious. The white and orange coloring is something you don't see in trekking shoes. Of course, they are fully functional. The sole is made of "vibram" and the upper is made of water-repellent high-density cotton canvas. They can withstand a little rain and wind. In fact, "Roa" also makes shoes for the New York brand "ALYX. No wonder they are so cool.

Fix Studio Jacket
When I visited Shenzhen, China 10 years ago, it was called "China's Akihabara," but now it is called "China's Silicon Valley," and its development has been tremendous. Let me turn to the story of "Fix Studio. This brand was established by two Australians in Berlin, but now it is based in Shenzhen. I am not a fan of Western supremacy, but I am sure it would have been easier if they had stayed in Europe, and in China, there is Shanghai and Beijing. I don't know what you are thinking, but this is intriguing enough for me. Look at this jacket, too. It looks like a piece of duct tape carelessly pasted on a cardboard box. It's right up my alley.

Waka Waka Solar Charger
The Japanese archipelago was hit by various disasters in 2018. . or rather, on a global scale. Sometimes I think, "Tomorrow is my own day," , but I forget about such thoughts in an instant. .

A smartphone, I thought, so I got a solar charger from "Wakawaka. This one is really excellent. It combines a highly efficient solar panel with a lithium-ion battery and LED flashlight.
