It's time to make a statement.
Japanese people tend not to assert their opinions and principles, but I have come to think that we need to express our opinions and principles a little more. I feel this way when I see people arguing over Corona and the divisions highlighted by the U.S. presidential election. If we live our lives based on this premise, it will be a little easier for everyone.
ARROW57.
Sweater by Arrow 57.
Slow cashmere sweater.
I like both sweatshirts and sweaters equally, but it is the sweaters that give more of a winter feel. Even in huinam.I have often introducedWe have finally got our hands on some sweaters from [Arrow 57.], aka Mr. Tanaka, this time. Most of them are made of cashmere 1001 TP10T, a wonderful piece with a moist texture. By the way, Arrow 57. sweaters are made in a factory that only handles cashmere yarns, and the knitting and finishing processes are done by craftsmen who are accustomed to working with cashmere. It's like "the professionals," and just hearing about it makes you want one. At first, they were made for their acquaintances, but now they hold an order-taking event once a year, so anyone can purchase them. The next one is scheduled from January to the end of February 2021, with delivery in September. That means it will take more than six months from the time you place your order to the time you receive it. It is nice to shop at such a slow pace. I'm really looking forward to receiving it.

KENNETH FIELD™.
Kenneth Field socks
When it gets cold, you want to wear it.
I don't think I need to reiterate the importance of socks. When you cross your legs and catch a glimpse of them, just wearing your favorites is extremely aggravating. I won't argue with you. My favorite socks have always been red cotton socks, but now I have found a pair of ace socks that are sure to be in the rotation. These wool socks from Kenneth Field are unparalleled when worn with wool pants and leather shoes. The one on the left is in merino wool, and the one on the right is in washable tweed. They do not have the skewiness that is common in longhausses, but have a good thickness, so they are neither too dressy nor too casual, creating an exquisite balance. It seems that the number of times they are on duty will increase as the weather gets colder. Isn't it wonderful to feel the season through socks?

TEATORA
Theatre down vest
Beyond function x design.
Theatre" has many famous products, including coats and pants, but for me, the debut was this down vest. There are too many things that were decisive in my purchase, but the fluffy form that looks like a shawl draped around your neck, the incredible lightness, the versatility to be used as both outerwear and innerwear, and above all, the fact that it makes you feel great when you wear it are the best. Has there ever been a down vest that uplifts you just by wearing it? I will not discuss functional pockets in this article. It is a matter of course that it is convenient, because it is Theatra. It was an epoch-making item that made me realize that there is still a lot of potential in apparel.

Anyway, I like berets and have worn berets from various places, but now I am very interested in "Cams and Gos". But now I am very interested in "Cams and Gos". I've known about them for a long time, of course, but what can I say? Of course I knew of their existence and had been interested in them for a long time, but I had avoided them because I thought they were kind of "standard" and "high quality. I thought it was kind of goofy, so I avoided it. Recently, however, I have come to care less and less about such things as "goofy," and I have been reminded once again of the greatness of this beret. I can say this about all of the headwear from "Cams and Go's," but at any rate, it has a "good feeling. If I were to compare it to a person, I would say that it is gentle and calm. I would like to be like that myself.

HOKA ONE ONE
Hoka Oneone Rain Jacket
Unique apparel.
The name "Hoka Oneone" is synonymous with thick-soled shoes. Recently, however, Hoka Oneone's apparel has also been unexpectedly good. The lineup, which began in earnest last season, ranges from performance apparel to casual wear, and the designs are exquisite and somewhat unique. Hoka Oneone, which has taken the world by storm with its thick-soled footwear, is making a strong statement with its apparel as well. Of particular interest is the new rain jacket released this season. The material is Gore-Tex Shake Dry, which boasts permanent water repellency and high moisture permeability, and the jacket is designed to be worn with a sack on the back. The front ventilation zippers can be opened for quick temperature control as well as access to the zack, reducing unnecessary undressing. In addition, the designer's sense of playfulness can be seen in the subtly different designs and sizes of the reflector logos placed on the front, back, and left sleeve. This is a unique product that combines both function and design. With these, running on rainy days will be more fun.

SKECHERS
Skechers Shoes
Loose-fitting winning shoes.
Skechers' running shoes are doing very well. The midsole is made by fluidizing EVA material and molding it with CO2 to generate countless fine-grained air bubbles. Landings are soft, but the resilience is superb, and yet it is super lightweight. The unique running performance, which lightly pushes the foot forward, is just addictive. The Skechers GOrun Speed Elite Hyper is an elite model equipped with such a hyper burst. The midsole incorporates a carbon plate that is split into two parts for more efficient energy return than ever before. The upper is made of ripstop mesh, and the outsole is partially covered with Goodyear rubber, boasting solid grip and durability without sacrificing lightweight performance. The ride is stable and comfortable, not unlike an elite model, which is great for loose-fitting runners like us. I would list these as one of the shoes to beat.

Hajimari
Hajimari tote bag and wallet
Agaric products from Fukuoka.
With the introduction of plastic bag fees, eco-bags have become an indispensable necessity in our daily lives. Although lightweight, compact, and large-capacity bags are great, we find them to be somewhat tasteless. If you are going to go to the trouble of owning an eco-bag, it is better to have one that makes you feel good than one that is functional. To that end, we would like to introduce a tote bag from Fukuoka-based upcycled bag brand "Hajimari. The materials used for these bags are imported lumber wrapping sheets, tarps once used by the Girl Scouts, yacht sails, and other so-called scrap wood. Each bag has a different look and feel, and the combination of colors in the trimming and parts shows the creator's sense of style and attention to detail. Another appealing aspect is that the entire process, from design to cleaning, trimming, and sewing, is handled by a single person. The warmth and texture unique to handmade products can be felt through the products. Moreover, not only totes, but also wallets, card cases, pen cases, and other small items are on standby. All of them are cute, so please visit the official website to find one that suits your taste.

WONDER MOUNTAIN ATHLETIC CLUB
Wonder Mountain Athletic Club Anorak Parka
Between Athletic and Daily.
I usually dress for running, but I don't want to dress like a sportsman. I want to be able to run 10 kilometers while still maintaining a minimum level of social interaction. I want to move between athletic and everyday wear without sacrificing fashion sensitivity. This anorak, released by Wonder Mountain Athletic Club, an original label of Wonder Mountain, a select store in Hiroshima, is ideal. In addition to the irregularly arranged graphics, the large pith name on the back of the neck that appears when the hood is on, the original zipper tab, and other fine detail work create a stylish atmosphere. Moreover, the material used is a water-repellent nylon material, so a little rain is no problem. It is also nice to be able to carry it compactly by storing it in the front pocket. This is a fascinating item that can be used for small activities while still having the aspect of daily wear. This is the kind of product you want to keep in your bag at all times.

KAPTAIN SUNSHINE × Barbour
Captain Sunshine's Oiled Jacket
Live Voices.
A little while ago, we started "Huinamu's Insta-live," in which we invite people who are related to Huinamu as guests and talk freely about what we are interested in and what kind of fashion we like. Although we are a little bewildered by the unfamiliarity of live-streaming, we are enjoying it and doing it in a relaxed manner, so please keep a warm eye on us. This outerwear was introduced as a recommendation for this season by Kojima, the designer of "Captain Sunshine," when he appeared as a guest on the insta-live. I had been curious about this outerwear since I saw it at the exhibition, but after listening to the designer himself carefully explaining the features and particulars of this outerwear, I was completely intrigued. Mr. Kojima's tips on how to wear the garment, such as "turn up the collar and fasten the chinstrap" and "squeeze the spindles at the hem", completely won me over. I knew the "real voice" would resonate with me. The persuasive power is different. If you are at all interested, please check out IGTV on Huinamu's Instagram. It's very appetizing.

THE NORTH FACE PURPLE LABEL
The North Face Purple Label Down Cape
Scarf? Capes? Vest? They are all correct.
It is warm during the day but cold at night. Light outerwear is not enough to go outside, but it is still too early to wear heavy outerwear. Hmmm. It is difficult to choose the right clothes just around this time of the year, isn't it? That's when I came across this item. You can wrap it around you like a scarf, but you can also wear it like a cape by fastening the snap buttons on the front. Pockets with flaps are provided at both ends, giving it the appearance of wearing a down vest. This mysterious layering brings a comfortable rhythm and stimulation to the styling. It is not only warm, but also perfectly fashionable. I am currently wearing the black one on a heavy rotation, but I like it so much that I plan to get another one in serge green. Incidentally, this pocket design was taken from a brown-tagged The North Face down jacket. As a vintage clothing lover, I was also impressed by this.

MOUNTAIN RESEARCH
Mountain Research Quilts
Puncture injection!
I remembered the punks days of my youth when I wore quilted bum flaps, and I just had to have this one. But instead of just wearing it with bondage or denim like in the old days, I wrapped it around easy pants or track pants, and it looked kind of nice. It's like an American rapper mixing B-boy fashion with punks, and it goes together surprisingly easily. I also like the knee-length, which gives it a hardcore feel. The pleats are in the back when worn as they should be, but it is also cool to wear it backwards like the beige one in the photo on the left. There are no rules in punk, so I thought I would enjoy wearing it freely. However, while they thoroughly make clothes for living in the mountains, Mountain Research still continues to make vintage pants, like this quilt! I love it.

UGG®.
Ag's CA805 Classic Weather
Warm and fluffy comfort.
Thick-soled sneakers appeared like bamboo shoots after rain, but we will never forget the shock when the "CA805" series was introduced. The CA805 series was clearly unique in its beauty, with a sophisticated upper design not seen in sports manufacturers, but with a voluminous sole of outstanding functionality. Until then, the image of sheepskin boots had been prevalent, but the "CA805" series established a solid position in the sneaker scene. And now, here it is. This pair combines the upper of the sheepskin boot, which has become synonymous with "agu®," with the sole used in the CA805, so to speak. I was surprised and amused at how much the sole can be changed to give a different impression. Of course, the warmth and comfort of these shoes are of "Ag®" quality. They will be the mainstay of your footwear this winter.

The highlight of the evening was A Taro, who came in as the last performer. The program was "Carpenter's Survey. The highlight of the story was the powerful and satisfying part in which the master carpenter was talking about his work! It had been a while since I was intoxicated by rakugo.
HYKE
Hike's coat
Good news for men.
HIKE always creates clothes that do not betray the expectations of its fans. Although not flashy, it conveys a sincere attitude toward fashion that has not changed since the days of its predecessor, "Green. However, from a men's point of view, we have had to look at the women's brand "HIKE" with our fingers crossed even if we were interested in its clothes. For the 2021 Spring/Summer collection, however, several models will be available in sizes that can be worn by men as well. The photo shows a maxi-length piece that shows the love for military wear. The base is the British Army's "Desert Storm Coat," characterized by its raglan sleeves and loose-fitting silhouette. The material used is Pertex, which is windproof and water repellent. Available in sizes 1 through 5, all sizes, including the newly added 4 (men's M equivalent) and 5 (men's L equivalent), are genderless and can be worn by both men and women. Until now, 4 and 5 have been released as special-order items, but this is the first time they have appeared inline. This is good news for men who have been waiting for it for a long time. However, please be patient as they will not be released until next spring.

Namacheco Denim Items
The city of flowers that I dreamed of.
Two years ago, I went to cover the Paris Men's Collection for the first time. In fact, I had a little passion for the Paris Collection even before that, and the story goes back to my previous job. I was an editorial assistant at the time, and one month before the Paris Collection, my job was to arrange invitation tickets for the show on behalf of the busy senior staff. Although nowadays it is done by e-mail, at that time I had to write a proposal with the details of the media and fax it to dozens of brands one by one. I had hoped to go one day, but the magazine ceased publication and my dream of going to the Paris Collection never came true. With such a past, my wish came true with a surprise visit to the Paris Collection, and the first show I saw was "Namacheco. The show, set in the headquarters of the Communist Party by architect Oscar Niemeyer, was spacy. The quality and mood of the show was truly wonderful and different from the Tokyo Collections. From a brand that holds a special place in my heart, I picked up the brand's first denim collection. There are two types of denim shirts with eye-catching metal buttons on the front and simple jeans that are easy to use in everyday life. The conscientious pricing is also a nice point. Looking at them makes me want to go back to the City of Flowers.

Warming up is a preemptive measure.
November has arrived and it is getting much colder. Daytime is still better, but mornings and evenings are cold. I don't want to catch a cold this year, so I'm trying to be prepared for winter. There are many things to prepare, but the first thing is clothes. The first step is to get warm outerwear. I have my eye on "i COMME des GARÇONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN". This is a down jacket made in collaboration with The North Face. According to a Comme des Garçons PR representative, the stadium jacket-like design is original to "i COMME des GARÇONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN" and the materials and sewing were done by "THE NORTH FACE. The use of "photoelectron®" in the padding provides excellent heat retention. The shawl collar is also a good feature to prevent wind from entering.

Simulation OK.
I have been addicted to turtleneck sweaters since about a year ago. The reason is simple and clear: they are warm to the neck. I used to prefer wearing only crew-neck sweaters, but in the middle of winter, my neck was inevitably cold. To solve this problem, I bought a turtleneck sweater from Sloane two years ago. It is a low-gauge wool-cashmere sweater with a classy, subdued design. I used it heavily last year as well. This year, I am aiming to increase my stock of this type of knitted sweater. It is knitted with a smooth, combed merino wool yarn, so you can be sure of its comfort and warmth. This piece coordinates well with slacks, a chesterfeed coat, and leather shoes on the feet. I haven't even gotten it yet, but I can already simulate it (laughs).

OMM
The Best of OMM
Cool people often wear them.
Perhaps it is because I am conscious of it, but recently I often see people wearing "OMM" when I walk around town. And they all have style. They all look cool. The origin of "OMM" was a mountain race held in England in 1968 by a group of volunteers who loved mountains as a place to test their own mountain skills. From there, these apparel products were born. And as you can see, the design is not high quality. On the contrary, they are a little bit in-your-face. And it's a natural innocence. I'm impressed by that feeling. Normally, I avoid items with too large a logo, but for some strange reason, I can forgive the O.M.M. logo.

Cha Cha's pants
My favorite pants these days.
Do you have a "you can't go wrong with this 00 here" like "here for shirts," "here for shoes," and so on? I have a few of those, but when it comes to pants, I didn't have that kind of thing. Then last year, I came across "Cha Cha". The moderate wide silhouette and short length fit my body strangely well. It felt more like fitting in than fitting out. I guess the meaning is the same, but that's how I felt. And this season, this is what was released. The material is corduroy, and there are slits at the hem. To the designer, Mr. Kanaeinterview (i.e. television, newspaper, etc.)I felt the relaxed feeling of the West Coast and the yearning for the 90s that I felt when I was wearing these pants. I hesitate to buy pants on the Internet because of the tight size range, but you can buy "Cha Cha" pants on the Internet.

YOHEI NOGUCHI
Accessories by Yohhei Noguchi
Nordic Sami tradition.
When it becomes more difficult to travel abroad, we want to go abroad more than before. It's called the Caligula effect: when something is banned, people want to go abroad. If the vaccine is perfected, there will surely be a travel boom. I have a feeling that the price of airline tickets will soar and it will become more difficult to go abroad. Recently, accessories from "Yohhei Noguchi" have given me a boost in my "I want to go abroad" mode. The accessories are made from reindeer leather, antlers, and pewter wire (tin thread), just like the traditional accessories of the Sami, an indigenous people living in the northern part of Scandinavia. All materials are imported from Sweden. I hear they look really cool over time, too. I'd like to wear it on multiple occasions. By the way, there is also a ring, which, by the way, is outstanding. And someday, I want to go to the home country and meet the Sami people. Before that, I have to see the movie "Blood of the Sami".

Kalimar fleece
Orange for high visibility.
Recently, I have been hearing a lot about how well "Kalimar" is doing, but I didn't really know what it was really about. My previous image of Kalimar was that of a traditional British outdoor brand. But when I went to the Jingumae store, I was surprised. The design is very high. And then I found this fleece. It is a fleece from "aspire," an urban-focused line within the "Calimar" brand. It is not that of an outdoor brand. It's a mode fleece. It's made of POLARTEC®High Loft™ and PERTEX®QUANTUM AIR, which is both warm and breathable, so you'll always be comfortable in your clothes. Moreover, it is reversible. You can use it in flashy colors in the mountains, where you want to increase visibility, and turn it inside out in town. Reversible means you only use one side, but this one may be used in different situations. I can also use it for outdoor bathing in a tent sauna, which I've been doing a lot recently.
