If you want to turn back, now is the time.
Sorry to be a bit of a moonshiner, but I am completely middle-aged and overweight. I often go to saunas and public bathhouses, and I have been confronted with my disheveled body for a long time, but I pretended not to notice. However, I decided that now was the time to do something about it, so I decided to make reasonable modifications to both my exercise and diet. I would lose 2 kg by the end of this year, and reduce my belly as much as possible. I should be able to do that.
HERILL.
Herrill Knitwear
Simple not boring.
Basically, I always want simple clothes, but there are surprisingly few simple clothes in the world that are just right, and this is a theme that is often discussed in "AH.H". So why are there so few simple clothes? Apparently, it is "scary" for those who make them. The more you remove, the more bare you become, and perhaps subtraction is more difficult than addition. In this respect, "Herrill" is extremely simple. It may sound like a conventional way of making clothes that make the most of the materials, but these are not your ordinary simple clothes. This cashmere WHOLEGARMENT knit is a great entry-level item. The price is also quite reasonable for a "Herrill" brand. The designer, Mr. Oshima, is also said to like cooking, and I think his cooking is probably based on making the most of the ingredients.

LENO
Corduroy pants in lino
The more flavor, the better.
I think people who wear brown corduroy well are fashionable. This is completely prejudiced and my own personal image, but I have never tried wearing brown corduroy because I thought it would suit me as I got older. However, now that I am 43 years old and have successfully gotten over the bad years, I think I should be fine now. However, I was not in the mood for old clothes, and I was looking for something with a clean look, but I found something that was almost perfect for me. Thick-ribbed, tucked, tapered, and shiny, this "Lino" had all the elements I was looking for.two-tuck trousersIt is. I think this would look good on me even if I became an old man. It smells like France or something over there, somehow.

Nanamica's short blouson
The reach of hybrids.
As autumn deepens, I hear people saying that this winter will be quite cold. Although I am a person who likes to be extremely cold, I have not been able to touch heavy outerwear for the past few years because "enough is enough". This is because "enough is enough. Even if my outerwear is light, I can easily get through midwinter with a layer of cotton, a sweater, and a scarf. Of course, I am talking about Tokyo. This year's outerwear I chose from this perspective is the "NANAMICA" line.short blousonThe brand's house specialty, Gore-Tex, is used. While using the brand's signature Gore-Tex, the outer fabric is made of tweed-like wool, giving it a much more classic look. The slightly larger shape allows you to wear a low-gauge sweater underneath with ease. When it comes to combining high-level functionality with traditional clothing, there is no other brand that comes close to NANAMICA.

kakinoha bags
Kakimoto Shoten is now open.
I am irresistibly attracted to brands and stores that are run by a single person. Clothes and stores that seem to be the direct result of a person's tastes and preferences. I think that is the kind of thing that will remain in the future. The scale of business does not have to be so large. It has been a long time since I began to think that way, but I encountered a store that struck a chord with me after a long time. It is "Kakinoha," opened in Kamakura by Yohei Kakimoto, director of the select store "Bloom & Branch. I was fascinated by the space, the products, and everything about the shop, which is a perfect embodiment of Mr. Kakimoto's style and style, and could be called a Kakimoto store. I had heard that Mr. Kakimoto had always wanted to open a store in Kamakura! I was so excited that he had finally done it! A certain sense of mission pushed me to go and interview him the other day, so please stay tuned for more information. The bag is for sale, but will be given away to customers who spend 30,000 yen or more including tax. These bags are so-called "eco-bags," but we are very particular about them.

Japan's highest peak.
At an elevation of 2,150 meters above sea level, the "hot spring above the clouds" suddenly appeared along a stream surrounded by the mountains of Mt! Surrounded by the mountains of the Yatsugatake Mountains, an open-air bath called "Kumojo-no-yu" suddenly appeared along a stream! I was unprepared and soaked only my feet, but it felt so good. Next time I go, I want to be fully prepared to fully enjoy the highest open-air bath in Japan.
SALOMON
Salomon Trail Running Shoes
Shoes for competitive races.
I feel that daily life is gradually returning to normal. Races are being held frequently, and I myself ran in the Nozawa Trail Fest and have already entered two races, the Izu Trail Journey and the Shonan International Marathon. A new normal has begun to dawn on me that is different from those days when all kinds of races were cancelled across the board. Now, in addition to motivation, I suddenly have a desire for things. And what I want is the gear that I want to use in the race. The first thing that came to mind was Salomon's S/LAB ULTRA 3. This model was developed in collaboration with Salomon athlete Francois Denne. The model was developed in collaboration with Salomon athlete Francois Denne, and is characterized by its excellent cushioning, not unlike a model for top athletes. Thanks to this, even a novice citizen runner like me can enjoy an overwhelming feeling of riding for a long time. Moreover, the bootie construction and low-resilience heel pad provide a superb fit, and the combination of excellent breathability and supple-fitting mesh upper allows runners of all levels to enjoy a stable and comfortable ride. The 2021 UTMF was recently announced, and I'm going to get my feet acclimated now for that winning shoe.

Shin's Socks
A Tabi Shoes type from Shinshu.
I love tabi socks. They are not as cumbersome to wear as five-toed socks, they are more flexible, and even look adorable. Personally, I love tabi socks so much that I think they should be more established as an option. I love tabi socks so much that I think they should become more popular as an option. That is why I am always searching for Tabi Shoes socks that can also be used for running. I found the following Shin socks. From left to right, there are socks for jogging, trail running, and trekking, as well as a lineup of various other types for daily use, fishing, and other purposes that only a brand from Nagano, a region blessed with nature, can offer. Of these, we recommend the trail running socks. The blend of merino wool, Japanese paper, cotton, and other materials provides a natural moisture control effect, a comfortable feel, and outstanding durability. The anti-slip rubber on the soles is placed in dots and arch support is also provided to help your feet step without blurring in the shoes. I actually liked the way they felt on my feet, so I plan to buy more for the UTMF.

PETZL
Petzl headlamp
Beautifully streamlined.
I rarely do trail running at night, but I enjoy it immensely. Running along the mountain paths with the light of a headlamp as the sun goes down and visibility is reduced. It is a chic activity that I would probably never have done if I had not encountered trail running, and because of the danger involved, it naturally increases my concentration and gives me a unique feeling that is far removed from everyday life. The most important thing to have on a night trail is a headlamp. The ergonomically designed "IKO CORE" from Petzl features an air-fit headband with a beautiful streamlined form. The battery pack is placed in the rear to distribute the weight and keep the headlamp comfortable for long hours. The semi-rigid construction is also highly hydrophobic and breathable. Weighing only 79 grams, the light output is up to 500 lumens with the included batteries and up to 350 lumens with three AAA batteries (sold separately), so it will be fully effective on night trails.

Kalimar backpack
I like big ones.
I like big bags. Whether I have something in it or not, the overwhelming capacity to hold everything somehow makes me feel the romance of a man. Therefore, I naturally gravitate toward bags with a capacity that I don't need on a daily basis. One of the bags that recently caught my attention is the "Tribute 40" by Kalimar, which is designed for business trips and travel. It is made of high-density nylon fabric for outstanding durability. The main compartment opens wide, and the back compartment has a built-in PC sleeve. The side compressions can be adjusted according to the volume of your luggage. The bag also features a retractable hip belt, a rain cover with a dedicated pocket, a front pocket for organizing small items, and other thoughtful details to accommodate a variety of situations. We would like to use this bag not only for travel scenes, but also for everyday use.

Best album of all time.
Rolling Stone magazine recently released a revised edition of its "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list, and I was surprised to see how much it has changed since the last edition in 2012. Rock music has fallen across the board, while hip-hop has made a remarkable leap forward. Is this just the times? The Beatles had four albums in the top 10 last time, but this time there is only one. Revolver" is at No. 11....
Quigley
Quigley's stadium jacket
It has a good buttery smell.
There are various kinds of clothes that give a sense of America: jeans for work, mountain parkas for outdoors, M-65s for military, and so on, but the first item in the sports department is probably the arward jacket, or stadium jacket as it is commonly referred to. With the colors of the college or team to which one belongs and decorated with letters on the chest and arms, this jacket has a wildly American look and has been a favorite item of mine ever since I was a student. However, the sense of coloring and lettering mentioned above is extremely important for this jacket, and if you make a mistake, it can be a dangerous item that will instantly make you look badass. The stadium jacket brand "KIGREE," which made its debut this season, knows exactly what to look for. The brown and beige color schemes are great, and the cotton and nylon bodies give a sense of knowing what you're doing. It's a stadium jacket with good taste.

MODESTY INDUSTRY
Spider Pattern Items from Modesty Industries
The pattern you want to make into a thing.
I have always loved the old-school SK8 style, and when I see people like that on the street, I can't help but follow them with my eyes. Not only am I attracted to their core style, but I also think they are simply fashionable, with their radical prints and flashy colors and patterns. Take, for example, the spider-print sneakers that Vans and Vision released in the 80s and 90s. I admire the way they match this pattern, which is usually quite difficult to match, without any particular preparation. I admire it. The spider-print vest and corduroy pants in the photo were created using Modesty Industries' "tube-dyeing" and "textile printing" techniques. At first glance, these clothes may seem unapproachable, but I wanted to learn from my predecessors and wear these clothes with a street mindset. Wouldn't it be cool if you could wear these spiders in your own way?

Stripes For Creative
Stripes for Creative shirts
The definitive version of the big shirt.
It is a very simple regular-collar shirt, but as you can see, it is "huge" anyway. The size is "XXXXL". Moreover, it is one-size-fits-all. This shirt has been a standard item of the apparel label "Stripe for Creative," which is owned by "C.C.C." since its first season, and it is doing very well. It is not just "big," but has a square shape, with the shoulders and body width being large while the length is short. This balance is exquisite, and the shirt is held at a comfortable point where it does not become too loose, making it a magical shirt that fits a wide range of pants, from slim to wide. The high-density twill weave of the polyester blend is firm and comfortable to wear. Of all the "big shirts" in the world, this is the one that fits me best.

Beauty as product design.
I am usually all about vulcanized sneakers, but these sneakers were different. I fell in love with their beauty from the moment I saw them at the exhibition. I would say that I was attracted by the beauty of the sneaker as a product rather than as a fashion sneaker. Normally, people tend to focus on the iconic outsole of the "WAVE PROPHECY8," but by organically connecting it with the upper design, it was there without any sense of incongruity, and it came together beautifully. I asked the press about the sneaker, and they told me that it was inspired by the work of product designer Dieter Rams. I see. So that's the secret behind the industrial look and sophisticated design. The orange color in the gray gradation is also derived from Rams. I was impressed once again by Graph Paper's sense of sampling source and the cleanness of the incorporation.

Knit by Marlene Sell
The bottom line of creation.
In the world of fashion, young talents are emerging one after another. One of the most notable young talents in the world of fashion is Marlene Sel. Her name became known at the 2018 LVMH Prize, a competition that is said to be a gateway to success for young designers. She won the Grand Prix in 2018 at the LVMH Prize, a contest that is considered a gateway to success for young designers. What is noteworthy about her is that she has a perspective on sustainability at a young age.Video hereAs you can see in the photo above, the company takes apart clothes that are no longer worn and sublimates them into new designs. In fact, the knitwear in the photo is one such example. The idea of upcycling is now a standard, but if you look at the history of fashion, Martin Margiela seems to have pioneered this concept. In fact, when we looked into the background of Marlene Sell, we found that she had interned at "Maison Martin Margiela" before starting her own brand. Of course, it is difficult to say, but it seems certain that her experience there is one of the elements that shape her creations.

Color Beacon Blouson
The best part of fashion that I had almost forgotten.
Every season, "Color Beacon" surprises us with designs that defy fashion theories. For example, classical clothing with sportswear details, a sudden color change on the left and right sides, or a knit collar on a shirt. While the visual discomfort confuses our rigid minds, it also teaches us the true joy of fashion that we had almost forgotten. Thinking about it once again, designer Junichi Abe may be one of those rare individuals who are competing on the basis of a single-minded creation. The blouson picked up here is one of this season's representative pieces, with an interesting design that looks like a MA-1 docked with a boa vest, and it exudes a pop that has been missing from recent clothes.

PALACE SKATEBOARDS
Palace Skateboard T-Shirt
Fuji Rock 2007.
Factory Records created the "Madchester" music movement in the 1980s. Among the bands that belonged to this label, Happy Mondays is probably the most heretical. Thinking back, when I was in my 20s, I was interested in this label and bought the DVD of the movie "24 Hour Party People" and a collection of Peter Saville's works. It was under these circumstances that I saw Happy Mondays at Fuji Rock (2007). I still remember the sight of Sean Ryder singing in a dazed voice and Bez dancing. In fact, this collaboration T-shirt between Palace Skateboards and Happy Mondays is the same design as the one I bought at Fuji Rock back then. The moment I saw it online, I had a flashback and ended up buying it. But if you look closely, you'll notice one difference. The first "P" in "Happy" has been changed to the "P" logo of "Palace Skateboards" (laugh). The collaboration at this time is a great example of Palace's unique sense of fun, of course. This item was in stock at the time of the photo shoot, but is currently out of stock, including other colors.... ButClick here to watch the movie.raises the tension.

WILD THINGS
Wild Things Coats
Tactical wear as everyday wear.
The Monster Parka is probably the one that popularized the Wild Things name. A few years ago, the brand rearranged this originally military outerwear for city use. The rugged look and functionality of the hoodie gained support, and it became a winter staple. Wild Things' next move is the "TACTICAL RIP" series. As the word "tactical" suggests, the design is based on military wear. The coat, a representative work, has a relaxed form that can be easily thrown on over a jacket. The silhouette can be adjusted with drawcords attached to the waist and hem. The material used is "DICROSS mauri," a technical material made by Daiichi Orimono. The fabric is lightweight and as soft as cotton, yet has a high level of water repellency. The four large front pockets are also convenient. I actually love using this item, and it is very convenient now that the mornings and evenings are chilly and the weather is changeable.

First time in Wakayama.
For the four-day weekend, I decided to take a trip on a hunch, so I went to Wakayama with no hotel in mind and only a couple of places to go. As a result, I fell in love with Wakayama. However, the hotels were all wrong. I had to walk 10 minutes to the bathroom and there was a strange smell in the hotel. That's OK.

Put trash in your pocket.
I guess we all have our own ways of choosing clothes, such as appearance, production background, etc., but I am still impressed by the coolness of the creator. The Brand Stone article featuring Ryoji Honma was published the other day. For the interview, I visited Mr. Honma at his home. There, I heard about how Mr. Homma confronts nature and how he feeds this back into his fashion, and his thoughts were so powerful that I could not take my eyes off of "Brown by Two Tacks". Also, Mr. Homma himself loves nature, but always has thoughts of the city in mind, and I think the items from "Brown by Two Tacks" have a very good balance between the two. The items of "Brown by Two Tacks" have an unpretentious coolness to them, and I feel it. Mr. Homma actually wore this DCP series, so I felt like I wanted to imitate him.

Alpaca, organic cotton, deer.
TEXT" has been widely recognized as a sustainable and traceable brand. Some time ago, the masks sold at "United Arrows" were cool. I wanted one, but it was sold out. It seems they are going to resell it again, so I'll wait a little longer. Every time I go to an exhibition of "Texto," the designer Mr. Ishikawa's alpaca talk is very interesting, and my desire for alpacas increases. I don't think there has ever been anything in the "Texto" lineup with such a casual look. The silhouette is relaxed and the length is a little short, giving it a modern look. The outer fabric is natural-colored alpaca, and the reverse side is Peruvian pima cotton dyed in black. The pocket edges are also gibier deerskin. It is natural everywhere. It is already winter.

Minimalite wallets
It is a very small and extremely light wallet.
I no longer grab the hanging strap, wrap the door handle with my outstretched sleeve, and press the elevator button with my elbow. It looks like there will be no influenza epidemic this year. Another change is that I no longer use cash. Most of the time, I just use my iPhone. I don't have to open my wallet anymore. But I still carry it in my bag. It's heavy and takes up a lot of space, and I'm thinking of finally getting rid of my wallet, but I think I'll start with this one. The "Minimalite" wallet, designed to be "the smallest and most convenient wallet," is about the size of a credit card. It is super compact. And it can hold bills, coins, and cards independently. Depending on the thickness of the card, it can hold up to 10 cards. The outer material is X-PAC, which we will practice with first.

HIGH FIVES
High Fives Ice Cream Bowl
I want to eat ice cream at camp.
One of the best parts of camping is the food, but it is usually heavy. After all, I want to have something to refresh my palate at the end of the day. I am a big ice cream eater. So I would like to introduce a unique item that can make ice cream. As you can see, it is a ball. However, it is hollow inside. In this bowl, you set ice and salt, and add cream, sugar, and vanilla essence, which are the ingredients for ice cream. Then, just let it rumble for about 20 to 30 minutes. Since it is heavier than it looks, it is dangerous if you throw it. Place it at your feet and rumble it around as if you were handling a soccer ball. The size is suitable for 2 to 4 people. You can make it chocolate flavor or strawberry flavor by changing the ingredients. Kinako (soybean flour) is also good.
