This special anatomica was realized after a plea from the famous Hokkaido store Moonroyd.

Keep Warm with MOONLOID.

This special anatomica was realized after a plea from Moon Lloyd, a famous store in Hokkaido.

Touma Town is located in the center of Hokkaido with a population of approximately 7,000. The select store "Moon Lloyd," based in this small town, offers a wide range of products that can only be purchased there. And all of them are gems. The shop now has fans not only in Hokkaido, but also all over the country through e-commerce. This season, MOONLOID made a request to "ANATOMICA" to create a special item just for "MOONLOID. How did this project come about and how special are these items? We spoke with Shinmei Shinmei, the representative of "Moon Lloyd," and Kinji Teramoto, the designer of "ANATOMICA" made in Japan.

This is not an either/or approach, but an initiative that matches the intentions of both parties.

Left: Mr. Shinmei Shin, representative of "Moon Lloyd" and right: Mr. Kinji Teramoto, representative of "35 SUMMERS" and designer of "Anatomica" made in Japan.

First of all, please tell us how the two of you met.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathMy wife and I first became acquainted with someone from Rocky Mountain Featherbed, and through various connections, we ended up with Mr. Teramoto.

temple supervisorHis wife is a very unique person with a charm that makes you want to cook something for her.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathThank you (laughs).

temple supervisorAfter that, I had a chance to talk with Shinmei-kun at some point. What he was doing and what he was thinking was interesting, and I was just hooked.

How did it go from there to the realization of this initiative?

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathI have always loved military-based clothing, and Anatomica's clothes are sophisticated and elegant, and I particularly like this brand. I have always had a vague idea that I would like to work with them someday, and through a chance connection, I asked them to work with me.

temple supervisorAnatomica has been getting a lot of customers, but I wanted to take it to the next level as a brand. I saw his life's work at that time, and I felt it had potential: he was able to appeal to a nationwide audience through his e-commerce site, and the fact that he was working hard in Touma Town was also appealing. So this time, Moon Lloyd asked Anatomica for a favor, but there is also the aspect of Anatomica borrowing Moon Lloyd's help.

Item.1
Royal Marine Pants.

Let's start with the royal marine pants.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathI personally love them and wear them often, but the olive is a special "moonloid" color. The herringbone fabric was tailored from yarn.

temple supervisorThe Royal Marine Pants are based on a pair of Royal Navy shorts from the 40's that Pierre (Anatomica's representative) had. They were cool, but not great as shorts. So, we decided to make them longer with the same thickness as the shorts! And they quickly became Anatomica's signature item.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathThe silhouette is truly exquisite. It also has a sense of presence. But I still wanted to wear olive. So I asked Mr. Teramoto about it, and he made me a pair.

temple supervisorThe shape is British, but the herringbone color is American; it's like a cross between two countries, and I think the result is unique. It's fun when you try something experimental like this.

Is it correct to wear them with a tight center press?

temple supervisorYou can wear it however you like, but I think it looks cooler that way. Ironing burns the threads on the surface of the fabric and gives it a sheen.

Item.2
Trim Fit-II.

temple supervisorTrim means "well-groomed. This is made with American patterned paper, so it raises the hips and gives a beautiful back.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathDuring the planning stage, Mr. Teramoto and I got excited about the idea of using summer wool. This was the biggest challenge. The material itself was expensive, and the selling price went up quite a bit.

temple supervisorBut it's popular, right?

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathThe look and feel are completely different, and people who try them on always end up buying them. They are comfortable to wear and have a beautiful silhouette.

How do you recommend finishing the hem?

temple supervisorI think this is also a preference, but a 4.5 cm double is good, or you can make it 5 mm shorter in the front and 5 mm longer in the back, in short, like a morning cut, which is also cool.

TRIM FIT-II
¥36,000+TAX

Item.3
Chino-IV.

These pants are women's.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathAt Moon Lloyd, Anatomica's denim, the Marilyn series, is extremely popular among women. So we asked them to make chinos for us to propose next.

temple supervisorMany women buy men's chino pants at the Anatomica store, too. But they don't fit around the waist. So we decided to create a style that would fit women.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathThe waist is made to be roomy around the hips, which allows the waist to be nipped in, creating a feminine, curvy silhouette that stands out when worn.

temple supervisorWe are also in the process of brushing up our women's line, and his proposal came at just the right time. It would be great to see the reaction to this. It's definitely a good idea.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathI think it can become a new standard for women's bottoms.

CHINO-IV
¥24,000+TAX

Item.4
Nam Pants.

This one is also available in women's wear.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathYes, it is. And from all appearances, they are military pants. When worn by a woman, the silhouette is very beautiful. The design allows you to put them on and take them off with the buttons on the side, so the front part looks sleek without being bulky.

temple supervisorAlso, there's a size-adjustable belt on the side of the waist part, so there's no need to wear a belt.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathI had it made in a summery ripstop fabric.

temple supervisorThe original was women's utility pants from the Vietnam War era. I like the darting and the way they are unique. I think they'll get a nice look after washing.

NAM PANTS
¥28,000+TAX

Item.5
USN summer flight jacket.

temple supervisorThis is a U.S. Navy summer flight jacket, based on the model issued in the 1940s~50s.

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathLike the Royal Marine Pants, we thought about what to aim for after the navy and beige that are available, so we made a special olive color. Like the Namu pants, they are made of a thin ripstop fabric.

temple supervisorIt's not modified, it's made as an American size origin, so it has a different authentic feel, doesn't it? I think it will get more bite the more you wash it, and the coloring is a good choice as well.

USN SUMMER FLIGHT JACKET
¥32,000+TAX

I will continue to send out what I want to wear from Hokkaido.

The relationship that began with the Rocky Mountain Feather Bed, what kind of future plans do you have in mind?

spirit of someone on the first O-Bon after their deathMr. Teramoto has been cooperating with us in many ways, so we would like to keep challenging ourselves. I thought I would prepare a little special coat for fall and winter.

temple supervisorHe is still young, too (laughs). I hope he will do what he wants to do without fear of failure. I hope we can continue to work together to create what we want to wear, not what is trendy.
