A year of challenges .
The year 2021 began amidst chaos. Every day, we are groping our way along a road with no clear path ahead. I have no choice but to do what I have to do, so I will do it, including YouTube and events. I will do this, and I will do that. What will be left, we will never know until we try.
CHACOLI × HYKE
Chacori x Hike leather backpack
Crafts to carry .
Hand bras are the coolest. I often hear this saying. . I think so too. In other words, a bag may be unnecessary from an aesthetic point of view. As you can see, bags have to be developed from a difficult standpoint. There are plenty of functional bags. They are light, convenient, can be used in the rain, etc. . However, these are not what resonate with me. If I am going to carry a bag, I want it to be beautiful, powerful, and sexy. This classic mountaineering backpack made of leather is an overwhelming product that easily exceeds K-points in these three elements. The price is also overwhelming. I have seen the collaboration between "Chacori" and "Hike" since the first time, and they are just a great match. It is a craft in the shape of a bag, and I would describe it as such.

Non-native coats
A solitary outfit that belongs to nothing.
The other day, I met Mr. Takayuki Fujii of "Non-Native" for a project. He was wearing his own brand of clothing, which, as a matter of course, really suits him. It may seem obvious, but is it really that easy? There is one more unique thing about "Non-Native": the designers themselves look better than anyone else. The designer himself looks better than anyone else, but his clothes look just as good and fit in with the rest of the population. Tasteless, odorless clothes that do not carry the burden of country, history, or culture more than necessary; that is my impression of "non-native" clothes. Therefore, this family specialty, the collarless coat, suits everyone to a certain extent. I don't want to go into too much detail, but when I think of "non-native" clothes, I think of "roundness. I think the secret lies in this roundness.

Braun Dynasty (of India, approx. 180-68 BCE)
Brown Brown Mini
Almost my first shaver.
I confess out of the blue that I do not shave on a daily basis, I do not use a T razor or an electric shaver at all. So what do I do? When I feel that it is getting on the dirty little side, I pull it out as needed , one by one with a hair puller. I've been unable to shave since puberty, when I had the cursed thought that the more I shaved, the thicker my beard would get . It's stupid . So I thought I would never need a shaving product in my life, but recently I had a chance to buy this "Braun Mini" from Braun. First of all, the design is great, isn't it? It's just as you'd expect from Braun. . And since it is designed to be portable, it is lightweight and small. But of course, I don't carry it with me. . I use it at home as my first machine, not as my second. It is powerful and works well.

Tecne tote bag
A very large newcomer , is now on the scene.
. I'm so interested in bags right now that I'm introducing two bags in one month. I find my favorites in clothes and shoes rather frequently, but not so in bags. Therefore, when a bag strikes my fancy, I don't hesitate to introduce it to you. Tecne is an up-and-coming brand that will launch in the spring/summer season of 2021. The designer, Mr. Rikiya Matsumura, is a former employee of Yoshida Kaban, and is a professional among professionals when it comes to bags. Although bags seem to be creative, there are surprisingly many restrictions and limitations when practicality is taken into consideration. The tote we are introducing here has a brass part that shines majestically. You can use it as a handle as shown in the photo, or hang it inside the bag and use the other handle inside, but the comfortable weight of the brass gives it an indescribable quality. I can't convey it , not at all. Please take a look at the real thing.

Mountain Branch wallet.
Coin purse gusset.
I have tried a long wallet, a folding wallet, a money clip, a coin purse, etc., but I can't seem to find the ideal wallet. I am still having a hard time deciding on a wallet that can be used not only for everyday use, but also in the mountains. It should be lightweight, portable, hold a minimum of cards, and be easy to take out coins. The "Yoyu Wallet" from "Mountain Branch" is the closest to such an ideal. The material used is X-PAC, which is waterproof, lightweight, and strong. Measuring 9.5 cm in length and 11 cm in width, it weighs only 17 grams! Yet, it can hold a minimum amount of storage space, including banknotes without folding it up and a full complement of card pockets. As a cash-oriented person, I am happy to note that the coin pocket has a gusset. Thanks to this, I can put a lot of coins in it, and it is also easy to distinguish coins from each other. This is a U.L. wallet that is not unlike U.L. wallets in that it has been made lighter by adding a few extra features that tend to be removed in the pursuit of lightness. It will be useful both in town and in the mountains.

HOKA ONE ONE
Hoka Oneone trail running shoes
GORE-TEX in cold weather.
With the growth of my daughter, the opportunities to go out to the mountains on Saturdays and Sundays are increasing, albeit gradually. However, this time of year is very cold. With my usual trail running shoes, the cold wind gets in through the mesh upper, and I feel the cold from my toes. . I have chosen GORE-TEX equipped shoes. My personal favorite is Hoka Oneone's Challenger ATR 6 GTX. The Challenger ATR 6 GTX is a soft, comfortable shoe that can be used both on the road and on the trail, and the outsole has 4mm lugs for grip on all surfaces. The mesh upper is lined with a Gore-Tex membrane, which provides excellent waterproof breathability and blocks cold winds at the same time. . As a result, you can enjoy running comfortably even in the middle of winter without rapidly cooling your feet.

Calimar Cap
You can count on just having it.
. anyway, it is cold in the mountains in winter. On average, it is said that the temperature drops by 0.6°C for every 100 meters of elevation gain, and since there are many places in the tree-covered forest zone where there is no sunlight, even if you are in a low mountain, you will feel colder than on the ground. . Therefore, if you are going to be in the mountains at this time of year, you want even your hat to be warm. The "Alpiniste Cap" by Kalimar, with its excellent heat-retaining lining, seems to be the best choice for winter mountaineering. The outer material is made of "Weathertite," an original waterproof and breathable material, and the flap has a strap with a buckle. The flap has a strap with a buckle, which repels rain, prevents stuffiness, and allows for smooth body temperature adjustment. The rim has a built-in shape-memory wire, which allows the wearer to arrange the shape to his or her liking. Although the actual use of this cap is limited, it is a reliable cap for harsh winter conditions. Although I don't live in such a harsh environment, I'm thinking of getting one as a precautionary measure.

Bling Underwear
I would like to buy more.
Choosing underwear is difficult. It is not a matter of excelling in any one of the following: texture, fit, functionality such as antimicrobial and deodorant properties, seams, and design, but all must be in good balance. And in this day and age, being sustainable is also an important keyword. I believe that the meaning of "sustainable" is only realized when it is incorporated into everyday items. Bling's underwear is made of merino wool, which has natural odor control and temperature control properties, blended with recycled polyester. The seamless WHOLEGARMENT construction with reversible front and back construction makes them smooth to the touch and comfortable to wear. . It is also easy to wash at home and dries quickly. This undergarment is suitable for the new normal era, being friendly to the earth, comfortable to the body, and suitable for modern life. I intend to buy more and more in the future.

Tower of Good!
Ozaken's Budokan concert, which I was looking forward to, was canceled. Well, it can't be helped . I'm used to it by now. I'll just give up. Yes. Incidentally, the title "Tower of Good!" was coined by Ozaken's second son, and refers to the way the emoji "Like" is piled up. Tower of Good . Tower of Good. Nice word, isn't it? I guess he inherited this sense of words from his father. I'm going to imitate him and use it from now on.
WILLY CHAVARRIA
Willie Chavarria Tracksuits
The highest compliment of dorky cool.
At first glance at the exhibition, I was taken aback by the "too much" shiny blue color and the white lines that looked like school jerseys. But when I tried it on, I found that the top has the wide-width, short-length silhouette that Willie Chavarria is known for, and the pants are deep in the crotch and roomy around the waist, which looks great when worn high-waisted and cinched. The pants have a deep crotch and are comfortable around the waist, and look great when worn high-waisted and tightened. Tracksuits have already become a standard item, but I was strangely attracted to the "dorky cool" feeling in a good sense, which is different from those of authentic sports brands or street brands that are in season right now. By the way, in addition to this blue, there is also a black version. This one also has a bad-guy feel to it, which is great. I would like to wear them as a set-up, just like my local boss.

It's this airy feeling.
This shirt has a very beautiful appearance. You can feel the fluffy texture and feel of this shirt even if you just place it on the floor as shown in the photo, can't you? The secret is that two luxurious layers of thin poplin fabric, densely woven and dyed afterwards, are used to make this shirt. This creates a puckering around the stitches of the shirt, giving it a three-dimensional feel and completing the atmosphere as you can see. This photo only shows the front side of the shirt, but the stitching around the back side, which is stripped down to two pieces, also has a nice atmosphere. It is a shirt of high quality and rich taste, as if the back speaks for itself. Incidentally, slit pockets are provided on both sides for ease of use. It can also be used as light outerwear in early spring.

I remember that fishinwear first entered the fashion scene 3-4 years ago with the fishing vest boom. It was a boom centered on street fashion.

I think it has established itself as a fashion genre like "military" or "work" today. Daiwa Pier 39" is particularly popular because it incorporates the details, techniques, and materials of fishing wear in just the right balance for everyday use, and it is also extremely cost-effective. The photo shows a special-order item from Fresh Service. The color is an earthy khaki not found in the in-line line, and the inside pocket of the jacket has many functional pockets, making it perfect in terms of both design and usability. Isn't 50,000 yen (excluding tax) for the top and bottom of such a cool set-up amazing? It's a must-buy for now.

New Balance MS327PB
Stunning update.
When I was in junior high school, I wore a reissue of the "Super Comp" by "New Balance". At the time, basketball shoes were in full swing, and retro running shoes were not as popular as they used to be. But for some reason, I was drawn to them because they looked like they were straight out of the 70s and fit well with my old jeans, and I liked their unique design with the outsole extending all the way to the heel. How many years have passed since then, and I never thought that the "Super Comp" would make a comeback with an update. To be precise, the model is called "MS327," inspired by the "Super Comp" as well as the "320" and "355," three retro running shoes, and is modernized with a big N logo and a chunky, voluminous sole, anyway. In addition, this color is bizarre, with each part of the shoe having a crazy color scheme. The quirky '70 design has been sublimated into a wonderfully modern style. I think this is a brilliant work of art.

When I asked the press, I was told that the name of the bag is "Hammock Bag. It was inspired by the traditional Colombian hammock, and Colombian craftsmen actually weave the fabric on old handlooms, and then weave the handle strings by hand to complete the bag. The size of the bag is perfect for use, and it can easily hold an A4-sized document. The long handle allows the bag to be carried on the shoulder. And at a great entry price, it's a must-have.

That healing person.
Is there someone you miss regularly? For example, a colleague from your school days, a senior colleague from a former job, or a local acquaintance. One such person in my mind is Yuichi Danjo of the famous restaurant "JOHN" in Yoyogi Uehara. I feel strangely comforted when I talk to him while looking at his kind face (laughs). Just the other day, I wanted to see him again after a long time, so I went to his store. I asked him about his recent activities, and he told me that he was going to release a certain thing, his first attempt, around spring. Mr. Danjo's direction is one of the charms of this store, and I am looking forward to seeing more of his work. I hope to be able to introduce it in HOUYHNHNM at some point. And now, I would like to introduce a work-style jacket and drawstring pants set-up from Ventura / Foreman, a London brand established in 2016, which may look black at first glance, but it is actually a dark navy that "JOHN" ordered on special order. When we asked Mr. Danjo why, he replied, "The color "DARK NAVY" is produced in London, where the color of the sky and the hardness of the water are different from those in Japan, and it is different from the color that is dyed in Japan. I asked for a special order because I felt like I couldn't go to the U.K. because of the Corona disaster, and I wanted to bring my mind to London... (laughs). (Laughs) I asked for a special order. I hope these exquisite colors will make my daily styling feel new and enrich my life with the Corona disaster, even if only a little. Please come to the store and check out this set-up filled with Mr. Danjo's thoughts and feelings.

LAD MUSICIAN
Blouson by Rad Musician
. I was fooled by the exquisite arrangement.
For 25 years since its establishment, "Rad Musician" has been attracting the support of young people who love culture. The appeal of this brand lies in the unwavering design work of the designer, Yuichi Kuroda. The "music" and "art" that he chooses as sources of inspiration for his clothes are very maniacal and profound, and I secretly look forward to hearing what he has to say to the press at the exhibitions each season. I am hoping that one day you will bring back the "rap musician" that you used to do with Ildozer (laughs). I'm sorry for the long preamble, but what I picked up here is a blouson with a motif of a G8 WEP flight jacket. With its loose-fitting body and voluminous sleeves, it is a piece that reflects the atmosphere of the current era by tweaking the silhouette while referencing military uniforms. The texture of the slightly bouncy fabric is also a plus. This blouson, which will definitely be useful in early spring, is scheduled to arrive in late February.

He has a unique background.
. I have decided that the bag I use on weekdays is a sacosh. . The reason is that I don't want to carry a lot of stuff to and from home and work. I am a minimalist and carry only what I need in my bag, such as my wallet, bandana, keys, and phone. My next item on my list is a leather pochette from Kingsley Walters Studio. As soon as I saw it, I was drawn to the craftsmanship and simplicity of its construction. . To begin with, it is difficult to make a simple leather bag, because if you make one mistake, it will be tasteless. In this respect, this bag has a unique look and feel, which is created by utilizing the texture and feel of the solid and sturdy leather. The designer is Kingsley Walters from Jamaica. After moving to London, he started making small leather goods as a hobby while training in tailoring at Savile Row, which is a unique background. According to the distributor, even now that the brand has taken off, he is still making the products by himself, and only hires a part-timer during the busy season when he is short on staff to get by. Hearing his backstory makes me want to buy his products from him (laughs).

A pocket to shoot the renewed dust.
In 2016 , I was smoking a cigarette in a long-distance bus terminal in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. The brand was the well-known Ameespi (turquoise) that I smoked and smoked and smoked and smoked and smoked and smoked and smoked and smoked and smoked. When I threw it away, I was scolded by my old husband with his dog, who said, "Don't waste it. The old husband took the half-smoked cigarette out of the ashtray and beat me, and that was the start of my shikemoku life. Now, my pockets are full of tobacco leaves. Leaves tend to be scattered around when you smoke cigarettes, don't they? Leaves are stuck in the corners of my pockets , where there is hardened dust. In other words, it's full of trash. The DCP series by Brown by Tutax is perfect for people like that (its original purpose was for gardening and woodworking). Unbutton the pockets, and you can easily unravel the trash. The fabric has been redesigned since last year and is softer and better than ever. . maybe it's lame to be a grown up shikkemoku?
