From demons to curses.
While the world is breathing heavily on "Oni no Kai" (Blade of the Demon), I am personally hooked on "Jutsu Kaisen" (The War of the Jutsu Kai). I don't know if it will appeal to everyone, but I recommend it. And with that, we begin this month's "Fashion Area Expansion" by the young staff of Huinamu.
COMOLI
Gecko Setup
The unconscious and the aesthetic.
There are clothes that lift your spirits, and there are clothes that soothe your feelings. Or one more thing. There are clothes that you pick up without thinking. For me, "Komori" is in just such a position. When I wear this set-up, I am reminded of that. Despite the density of wool, it is as soft as a knit, and the silk threads scattered over the entire surface emit a shimmering light like a wave. And yet, it is not showy. It is so comfortable that it blends in with the cityscape and makes you want to fall into a deep sleep. The space between the skin and the fabric, the slope of the shoulders, and other details are all well balanced and just right. This is a set-up that can be worn on an ordinary day, without being pretentious or overbearing. Clothes made with thoughtful consideration may transcend the realm of thought.

White Mountaineering BLK
White Mountaineering BLK hoodie and shirt
Clothing with the right answer.
When you are in your thirties, everyone's clothes start to turn black," says Aizawa, the designer of White Mountaineering.Recent InterviewsWhat I was talking about in This theory is very true. Looking back at my lineup this time, I realized once again that it is all black. However, the word "black" is as broad and deep as the ocean. I realized this with "White Mountaineering BLK. Locked in the color with little information is the essence of pattern-making that has been cultivated over a long period of time. Each pattern is printed on the lining, which can be called a blueprint of the item, and this is also interesting. Every time I put my sleeves on, I feel as if I am getting an answer to the question of how easy it is to move around. This is a new way to enjoy clothes that is different from the way they change over time. It is a new way to enjoy clothes that is different from the aging process.

POKIT
Pokit Messenger Bag
Architecture that runs at 25 km/h.
Since becoming a Corona, my main means of transportation has been a bicycle. The color of my car is leaf green, which gives it a military look. So, depending on the bag I choose, I may end up looking like a soldier. A solid nylon messenger bag is out of the question. This "Pokitto" bag, however, is rounded and has just the right amount of slackness. Its characteristic form, composed of triangles, pentagons, and hexagons, was inspired by the geodesic dome theory used in architecture. Hence, it is minimal in parts, yet maximizes the use of space. The body is made of rubberized cotton canvas, and English bridle leather is used in various parts, making it waterproof and durable. Carrying an architectural item on your back feels like a job change from soldier to architect.

FUMITO GANRYU x SUICOKE
Fumito Ganryu × Swicock shoes
Relaxation of national relations between boots and sneakers.
I have always wanted a pair of American-style work boots, and I have been looking for them everywhere I go, but boots are quite heavy for my pampered feet that are used to sneakers. However, even though these boots look heavy on the outside, they are overwhelmingly light when you try them on. While based on an authentic work boot, the combination of different materials and the white shark sole used on the outsole show the unique aesthetic of "Fumito Ganryu. Not only that, but the insole is softly cushioned and made by "Suicok. This is a pair with a design and comfort that can never be described as "between boots and sneakers.

It goes by so fast.
The year is quickly coming to an end. Every year I find myself thinking that the year is over, and this year was no exception. It is easy to think that I didn't do this or that, but if I didn't do something, it probably means that I didn't want to do it. Thinking about it that way makes me feel a little better.

Beautiful People's Down Coat
It's okay to turn it inside out.
Launched in 1983, this year marks the 38th Mainichi Fashion Grand Prix. Many famous designers have won the award. This year's grand prize winner is Hidenori Kumakiri, designer of "Beautiful People. Beautiful People" has a design that is easy to use for everyday wear, but has a witty spice to it that I find appealing. The design is inspired by the late model of the cold weather coats used by the Swedish military in the 1990s, but the fabric is luxurious cotton silk. The indescribable roundness of the fabric is retained, and it is made into a reversible down coat. The down packing with see-through print is especially cute when turned inside out. This ambivalent feeling is really on point.

YUICHI TOYAMA.
Yuichi Toyama. Glasses
Clear with technique.
I am afraid to put in contacts even though I have bad eyesight. That is why I have always been a spectacle wearer. I wear two pairs of glasses every once in a while, depending on my mood, and both of them are brown celluloid glasses, which are a safe choice for me because they are familiar to my face. I was looking for a change of pace once in a while, and I thought that the clear glasses that I had seen so often recently looked interesting. As my desire for a new pair of glasses began to grow, I thought, "This is the one! I thought, "This is it! I thought, "This is it! Clear glasses are often made so that the metal fittings and core are as inconspicuous as possible to take advantage of the clear look, but these glasses are the opposite. By boldly inserting a gold core, the design is rather complete. The nose pads are also made of titanium, and the high quality appearance of these glasses will make you think you are living a wonderful lifestyle.... Someday I would like to try my hand at morning work or something.

Hybrid leather.
Dyneema® Bonded Leather" we came across in last month's bag feature. This paper-thin and lightweight leather is made of Dyneema®, the world's strongest fiber, which is 15 times stronger than steel, and cowhide leather. Moreover, it is said to have sustainable aspects, such as reducing the use of about 25 million liters of water per year, so I was curious about it. The creator of this leather is Echo Leather. Echo Leather supplies leather to many luxury brands and is a group company of Echo, which makes its own shoes from scratch, so I was rather curious about how Echo's shoes were doing now. When I put my feet through the new "ZIPFLEX" shoes, they were so comfortable that I couldn't help but let out a squeal of delight. I wanted to tell you all about it in one word. The high-cut color, which seems to be available only at the Omotesando store and online, is also very Scandinavian and playful.

This is what sustainable means.
The word "sustainable" has become common in recent years. Simply put, it means being kind to the earth, but it is still difficult to say that all things are sustainable. However, it is important not to give up and to accumulate even small things. Freitag" always makes me think in this way. Personally, I had an image of bags, but when I visited the store, I noticed that the accessories were catchy and nice. Normally, I would choose dark-colored accessories out of concern for stains, but the different patterns in the bags make them worth choosing, and since they are made from truck sails, I can use them without worrying about them getting dirty. I'd like to think about the durability of things that are used every day, rather than special items.

By the way, I like everlasting pots.
The spread of corona infection is causing harm in many places. One such example is hot pot. If someone else in the group is infected, it's all over. The nabe becomes a cluster... This year, I'll be a little more restrained. I remember one of my juniors in high school who was so germaphobic that he wouldn't even have nabe with his family. I used to make fun of her at the time, but now we are on opposite sides.
Carhartt WIP
Carhartt WIP's Fairmount Coat
Take me, in one milky outfit.
The other day, I unexpectedly found this knit hat in my closet. When I was in elementary school, my sister, who was in high school, was wearing it with it twisting and turning, and it was so cute that I took a crack at it, which is a funny story now. Recently, a junior member of the editorial department was wearing a bright red jacket from here. It was a little different from what blue-collar people wear in their home countries, and I was mildly impressed by the urban look, perhaps thanks to his shaved head. I found this white jacket at Carhartt WIP, where I am personally very excited. While it is a standard item, the lining and collar are lined with a boa, giving it a milky finish that is perfect for winter. The gold zips and buttons will make this winter style look more polished. Come to think of it, didn't that girl in the winter dramas of yesteryear wear something like this?

Yeti
Yeti Boa Down Scarf
The golden age of mufflers is now.
How to make a subtle technique that is not seen by others? When I was a student, I used to watch Youtube videos on how to wrap a scarf and study them over and over again. But nowadays, my priority is to wrap it quickly, beautifully, and warmly. If this is what it means to grow older, I will gladly accept it. After such a turbulent period of mufflers, I arrived at this muffler from Yeti. The specification that only requires inserting one end of the scarf into the slot is irreplaceable and easy. In addition, the inside is made of crystal down, which is known as the highest quality material, so it can hold heat, and the boa, which is a blend of polyester and wool, gives you the warmth of a natural source. I've just introduced a lot of these products, but I hear that they are already sold out one after another... I'm impressed that they are so well supported, but let's wait until next year.

TEMBEA
Tenbear Slippers
I like this guy who is not judgmental.
I have terminal coldness, so socks are a must even at home. And I like the ones that are warm and fuzzy. But there is one drawback. When I wander around the house with them on, they get dusty like a mop, and they quickly become dirty. Then you need slippers. And I want slippers that don't interfere with the self-respect of my socks. That's how I arrived at these slippers from Tenbea. The canvas base and felt insole are made of canvas. The piping gives the shoes a bouncy feel, and they accept the playfulness of socks. I know that bare feet probably look better, but when I prioritize warmth, I can't help but wear socks... I feel half sorry for myself, and half leaning on the concept of "a style that doesn't assume anything" by "Tenbea," I decided to wear socks this year, too. I am half sorry, and half leaning on the concept of "style without judgment" of "Tenbea," I will use them hard this year, too.

REEL
Stone on the Reel
Healing, stone to.
Launched in 2018, "Reel" is a brand that makes wallets and cases using leather. The brand's items are familiar to everyone's life, but at the same time, they are filled with a certain elegance, and are used not only by ordinary customers but also by many people as tools for their work. This time, we would like to introduce a stone made by the brand. It is a stone. Let's put aside the item name for a moment and talk about how it is made. The edges of the leather are glued together in layers, and the corners are polished to make them rounded. The texture is a material I have never encountered before, somewhere between leather and paper. But it is leather. If you look closely, you can see the expressive cross section and feel the weight of history. It is like a "stone" that has been washed away by river water, chipped and shaped by rocks and stones. It would be nice to use it as a paperweight or a jewelry holder, but I am thinking of just displaying it in my room and turning it into a little oasis spot.

Kitano Blue.
The other day, I went to "Takeshi Kitano Violent Saturday Night" at Shinbungeiza in Ikebukuro. This was an all-night viewing of his early films "That Man is Violent," "3-4 x October," and "Sonatine. The contrast between the beautiful bluish world and the pure violence completely got to me. I was in the front row with a sore neck and fighting sleepiness, but I have no complaints. I have no complaints.
STÜSSY
Stussy flannel work jacket
Comeback Youth.
Recently, I have noticed one thing when I look at the outfits of people on the street. I don't know why, but Stussy is strangely cool. Looking back, I first encountered this brand when I was in high school. At the time, there was a boom in logo goods, and I was spending my meager savings to buy Stussy T-shirts and bucket hats. However, as I got older, I wore them less and less. With all due respect, I think I avoided Stussy because I thought it was a brand that middle and high school students would pick up. However, now that I take a closer look at them, I find that I honestly want to buy them all. This flannel parka in particular. The shape is a parka, but the official website describes it as a "work jacket. The fabric looks flexible in the picture, but it is actually thick and heavy. The gap between that massive feeling and the cute pattern is also nice.

OUR LEGACY
Our Legacy turtleneck knit
Breaking through, monotone.
The colors of the clothes I usually wear are basically monotone. I prefer to wear simple outfits exclusively. However, sometimes I really want to wear colorful items. In that sense, I picked up this turtleneck. It was made by Stockholm-based Hour Legacy. At first glance, it is a bright pink, but when you try it on, you will find that it blends in surprisingly well. The silhouette is oversized without being overdone, and the sense of balance is exquisite. I think it would be great to wear it as a top and coordinate it with an all-black outfit. It would also be great to see a glimpse of pink peeking out from around the neck of a worn coat in the coming season.

Better™.
Better logo bottle
A witty, souvenir feel.
Better™ is a street brand produced by Canadian artist Avi Gold. The Better™ Gift Shop is located in a corner of Dover Street Market GINZA, and every time I visited the store, I was curious about it. When I searched Instagram, I found an array of photos of their stylish products. All of them have a tactful, souvenir-like feel to them that makes me want to buy things. This bottle is just a logo and a memory, but it looks nice. I think the combination of the logo font, size, and cap coloring is exquisite. It would be surreal to put a cup of tea in one of these bottles.

Boko Deco Hats
A journey in search of a hat.
We recently published a new series of installations, "Personal effects of HuynemAs I mentioned in a previous article, I like the style of deciding on a favorite item and buying it over and over again, like "this shirt and these pants". I think I want something that is a staple item for me. However, I have yet to find a hat that I like. I have a few hats, but I feel like I'm compromising somehow. This hat by Bokodeco is made of high-quality wool felt. One wrong move and the item would look childish, but the superb silhouette of this hat keeps it elegant enough to be worn by adults. Moreover, each hat is handmade. Knowing the background of this item, you will become even more attached to it.

I'm really into hardcore sauna.
Funabashi's capsule hotel and sauna "Jeetopia" is doing really well: a strong-style sauna room set at 110°C, a water bath using natural water pumped up from underground, and an outside air bath with a pleasant breeze. I'm intrigued just thinking about it. Can't wait for the weekend!
UNUSED
Unused down jacket
This is ace down.
They are not cheap and can greatly affect the outfit of the day. It is difficult to be adventurous when choosing winter outerwear. That is why, if you are going to try something different, such as a colorful item, you want to leave it to a trusted brand. This winter, my first choice is a down jacket from "Unused," which comes in an attractive bright blue color. The volume of this jacket is enough to tell you how well it keeps you warm. The body is made of ripstop nylon, making it breathable and waterproof. The front of the hood can be closed to shut out drafts from the collar. It has excellent potential, packed with specs suitable for the fourth batter in your wardrobe.

TEATORA
Theatre jacket
I would like to take it with me on my travels.
As an empty-handed person, the number of pockets is an important factor in my choice of clothing. If a modern, relaxed silhouette and comfort are added to that, there is nothing more I could ask for. The Teatra Hooded Jacket is an excellent product that satisfies all three of these three key elements. The back of the jacket is equipped with four pockets of different sizes, so there is no need to say anything about its storage capacity. The wide width of the body reduces the bulkiness of the inner layer, and the cotton-like nylon material "Tech-Tussah" prevents wrinkles and stains. It is packable and compact, making it ideal for travel. If you keep it in your carrying case, it will be able to cope with sudden temperature changes. This is the ultimate creator's workwear, which expresses the overwhelming quality with a limited number of models, just like "Theatre".

Icebreaker parka
Merino wool, quite comfortable.
I had always heard about the comfort of merino wool, such as its resistance to steam and prickling, and the fact that it can be worn year-round, but I had never actually put my sleeves on one. This year, I wanted to take advantage of the benefits of merino wool, so I purchased a parka from Icebreaker's "Real Fleece" series, which I had been eyeing for a long time. This one is in a new color, olive heather, and the gentle warmth of the color grabbed my heart. The body is made of merino wool with a fleece-like backing that is surprisingly soft, yet provides a natural warmth. It is also stretchable, making it ideal for everyday wear as well as relaxing wear at home. Why don't you try feeling the superb comfort woven by natural materials?

Aeta Wallet
The era is the trifold wallet.
In addition to the acceleration of e-money and mobile payments, the new coronavirus has reduced the use of cash, resulting in an unprecedented mini wallet boom. I, too, use credit cards for most of my payments, so I naturally gravitate toward compact size when choosing a wallet. If you are thinking of buying a new wallet for the end of the year, my personal recommendation is a trifold wallet from Aeta. The high-quality cowhide leather used for the material has a soft texture and feels comfortable in the hand from the start. Despite its small size, it has a lot of storage space, making it easy to use. It is available in a variety of colors, so you may use it in different ways depending on your mood. Simple and never boring, this is a product that matches the current era.
