FFIXXED STUDIOS

Fix Studios polo shirt

A masterpiece of prestigious preparation.

The first thing that led me to know about Fixstudio was that it was a Hong Kong brand created by a designer duo from Breathless. This brand has a lightheartedness that allows it to jump over such hurdles with a dash. At first glance, the look is simple, but the two bias tucks at the hem, the ribbing at the hem, and the oversized fit create a modern atmosphere. And because it has a smooth, satin-like texture, rather than the polo shirt's typical fawn-like texture, it also has the elegance of a shirt. The quality is beyond my expectations. This brand is very good.

COLECOLE

Cole Cole flip flops

Footwear for the beach.

I don't wear sandals that expose my toes unless it is a rare occasion. My toes get cold, someone might step on them, and I have a lot of worries lying around. But sometimes I wear flip-flops exclusively. I like the contrast between the cheapness of them and the slacks I wear with them. The bigger the difference, the better. That's why I chose the flip flops in the shape of a tabi, a brand by two designers based in Rockaway Beach, NY, who are newcomers to the scene, having just started this year. They are unpretentious and nice, probably because they are familiar with skateboarding and surfing. This summer, I want to go all out and make a lot of crazy things happen.

KANGOL

Kangol Hunting (507)

Hunting, to be worn on the back? Wear it in the front?

Maybe it's the blazing red sun, or maybe it's BEGIN that spurs me on, but for some reason, I feel like wearing a hunting cap in the middle of summer. It's not because of the tropical context, but because I am attracted to the classic, rude atmosphere. I always pick up a Kangol, which is synonymous with the back-to-front style, but I definitely wear mine in the front, especially if it's a 507. The other signature 504 has a rounded brim, but this one is a bit more angular and sharp. I have a long face, so even if I wear it, it looks somewhat smart. It looks even cooler when worn with sunglasses.

BRAIN SLEEP

Brain Sleep Pillow

1/3 pure sleep situation.

It is often said that one-third of your life is spent sleeping. It is often said that a third of our lives is spent sleeping, but I am sure that I am sleeping more than that as I am napping and coasting through the day. Quantity is important, but quality is also important. This pillow, which advocates "faster and deeper brain sleep," brings blissful sleep. The secret is that it boasts high air permeability and cools down your hot head with its uniquely developed super-air permeable mesh structure. This means that heat and perspiration are expelled even while you sleep. The combination of low and high resilience gently envelopes you and allows you to smoothly turn over in your sleep. In any case, it is a partner that will give its all for one-third of your life. With this, I'm sure I'll be able to coast a little longer on the promise of a good night's sleep.

When I say summer.

Tis the season when ice cream is a must. Sometimes a debate breaks out over what flavor of Haagen-Dazs ice cream is my favorite, but personally, I prefer vanilla. Cookies & Cream is also hard to ignore. However, my No. 1 favorite in recent years has been 7 Premium's "Strawberry Loving White Bear". That one is expensive....

A-POC ABLE ISSEY MIYAKE

Apoc Able Issey Miyake polo shirt

Sustainable, not just sustainable.

Since my skin is sensitive by nature, I choose detergents and other products that do not contain unnecessary ingredients. I also consider biodegradability to be important, thinking that if the water quality is improved, it will be less irritating to my skin. I support sustainable living from such a minority point of view, but I did not consider it that important when choosing clothes. This polo shirt from "Apoc Able ISSEY MIYAKE" is made from a new material called "Triporous" developed by "Sony" from rice husks that were to be discarded. This material is amazing. I won't bore you with a long explanation, but the black color does not fade easily. Of course, buying something because it is sustainable is a good thing. But it would be wonderful if you simply fell in love with the design and functionality, and the product was actually made in a sustainable way.

inov-8 × Pilgrim Surf+Supply

Innovate x Pilgrim Surf + Supply shoes

All the things you've always wanted to be a part of.

There are countless collaborations and special order items on the market. Among them, the items that I personally want are those that have been arranged in ways that I had never imagined. This pair of shoes, a special order from Pilgrim Surf + Supply for Innovate, is a rough-out version of the "FLYROC 345 GTX," a nylon trekking shoe. I've never been a fan of the technical feel that treerun shoes tend to have, but the upper gives them a somewhat mountaineering-like nuance. Roughout is the best. Functionally, they are equipped with "GORE-TEX," so rain is no problem. Moreover, the laces come in three different colors, which is just what I want, and I can't get enough of the "all-in-one" feeling that you get at a ramen shop. I want to wear them with red laces like a certain outdoor shoe!

FACETASM

FACETASM tops

There has to be love.

Celebrating the opening of the main FACETASM store,Designer Mr. Ochiai and "Dogs" articlecreated the "The Black Flag". Mr. Ochiai has always had a love for youth culture, which is a personal favorite of his, such as wearing a T-shirt with the four lines of the Black Flag drawn by Pettibon and using Gus Van Sant's "Elephant" as a motif for his Paris Collection debut. This one, released a little after the spring launch, is a vest made by docking a parka and a denim jacket with the front and back rotated. While you might wear this one by itself with a bash, we think we'd like to layer it with a T-shirt as an inner layer. It is thick, so it is also good for cooling off in the summer.

Lee.

Lee's pants

Pants for everyone.

It is difficult for everyone to be happy. But I don't know if they thought that if they could, they would like it to be so, but the "Freezy" released by "Lee" is as close as anyone can get to pants that make everyone happy. That said, these pants are available in one size. However, the pants are available in one size, from XS to XXL, or from 66 to 91 centimeters in centimeters. So, if you have one pair of pants, you can share them with the whole family, which is surprisingly eco-friendly. I think that these pants may not be conscious of it, but I also think that these pants may create a stir against social issues such as discrimination and environmental problems. Without getting too formal about it, they are simply very comfortable to wear and can be lent to people who come to stay over, so having a pair of pants will come in handy.

Notlander Declaration.

I heard that a person who "fashionably" goes to the laundromat in a leisurely manner is called a "laundromat person. A-P said this on the radio. He was making fun of people who are drunk with their rough selves, and people who keep jellyfish in a four-and-a-half-tatami-mat room are also in that category. I wonder if the item selection this time is OK? Are you laundry?

Whim Golf

Wim Golf's Suede Vibram Adjustable Slipper

I'm going to play golf in a carefree mood.

A putter set at my best friend's house in elementary school. My virginity in golf is unmistakable, it was that one shot that I secretly hit at that time and place. Ten years later, I never thought I would be introducing golf items to others.... But, since I am a bit of a natural, I decided to introduce you to a place that only has two stores in Japan that carry these items. Wim Golf" is a Chicago-based brand started in 2019 by a brother who loves golf and the NBA. The lineup includes products that respect the functionality of sportswear while sprinkling humor on it from an oblique angle.visual areaThe "M" is also excellent, so be sure to take a look through it. The mustard-colored sandals are especially cute and different. The suede upper is thick, but the back is made of mesh, and the dial is only modestly adjustable for the size, despite its exaggerated appearance. And only this pair is mysteriously made in Japan.... I want to cry out that I like you, who is not overdone, while being mildly disappointed!

BLUFCAMP

Bluff Camp Check Shirt

It's nothing, but it's something nice.

...The movies "Wendy & Lucy" and "My Bird Sings" have given us the best solution for such a check shirt. The heroine wears a faded one, and it's ridiculously awesome. It's also worn by a girl, so it's a nice blend of wild and dainty. And not just any color or check width will do, but shirts should be carefully scrutinized, like threading a needle. When the time comes to look for a shirt in the real world, the first place I turn to is Blue Camp. It is a regular-collar shirt made of airy cotton with gold embroidery of "alphabet. It's one of those pieces that seems to shine the more it is crudely rolled up and kneaded and nurtured. The brand's literature says it exactly like this: "It's a standard item with no particular meaning, but it looks like something someone would wear. I think the backs of those heroines are not so far away!

WAITING FOR THE SUN

Charlie from Waiting for the Sun

Good to look at, good to hang, good to the earth.

Without regard to criticism from various quarters, I only look at eyewear for its beauty as a product. Maybe it's because they don't suit me, or maybe it's because I don't care about how they look in profile when I wear them anymore. It may sound strange for me to say this, but I was surprised to see an eco-friendly eyewear brand from France, "Tiffany Eyewear".[Claire] Waiting for the sun.has been checking out the site for a long time. First of all, the seasonal visuals are cool. They have a rough and floating feel, as if they were taken in the middle of nowhere, which makes the items look like an extension of our daily lives, which is comforting. Some of the models are edgy, thoughtful, and charming. For this season, this one is quite interesting, with its sleek pilot-style frames finished in a soft brown color. If you are interested in this model, please welcome it under the summer sun, just like the brand name.

REEL

Reel Leather Treatment Balm

Touch it, paint it, and change it.

It may be an exaggeration to call it a tradition in my family, but a leather maintenance meeting is held every six months. Under the order of my mother or sister, all the leather goods in the house are gathered in the dining room and polished in turn. I got into the habit of doing this, and even until I wanted to move to Tokyo, I would polish my leather goods by myself at night on a moment's notice. However, I had recently bought too many leather goods, and I was getting tired of the trouble, when I received good news just in time! Reel, a brand that meticulously produces small leather goods, has released a scented leather balm, which is said to have been created from scratch by blending more than 10 kinds of natural fragrances. If you apply it regularly, the leather and the fragrance will gradually blend together, and you can enjoy the change over time by touching, smearing, and changing the fragrance. I think this will be my next souvenir from Tokyo!

I want to start climbing.

As a result of being in touch with nature for the first time in a long time, I have been inspired to climb a mountain. I am now working on collecting gear and watching mountain climbing movies to motivate myself. The reason I wrote all this is so that I don't become a "do-it-yourselfer". I am looking for mountain climbing friends.

SHUN SASAKI

SHUN SASAKI T-shirts

Abstracts Workers.

The other day, I happened to visit the Daikanyama Tsutaya Bookstore. There was an exhibition of graphic designer Shun Sasaki's works being held, and I unexpectedly came across this T-shirt. On the front are three "WORKER" designs, and on the back are human graphics that seem to have been drawn through an abstract filter. I fell in love at first sight with the sense of design, which I had never seen before. I am ashamed to say that I did not know Mr. Sasaki at the time. So I asked myself, "Is it the same as wearing a van T of an artist I don't like? I was not sure if I should buy it or not. However, when I thought about it, I realized that a work of art that can instantly move the heart of a non-fan is amazing, and that it is possible to become interested in something by starting with an object. With all these excuses in my head, I made the purchase without incident. I will wear it to work and do my best.

Lunor

Lenore's Glasses

It is like an industrial product.

Perhaps it is because of my daily desk work, but my eyesight has been deteriorating rapidly lately. So, just as I was thinking about replacing my old glasses, which no longer fit me, I lost my old ones. This was a great opportunity! So, I went on a journey to look for a new partner. However, I am not the type of person who is particular about glasses, so I visited various stores and had the uneditorly impression that "they are all the same...". Then, I visited "The Parkside Room" in Kichijoji, near my house, and there it was. I went to "The Parkside Room" in Kichijoji, near my house, and there I found a gem that had whetted my appetite. It was from Lenoir, a German-born brand. Perhaps it is because it is a German-born brand, but it has an industrial feel to it. The attention to detail in the use of original parts, down to the single screw, and the antique silver color that looks as if it has been used for a long time, are completely right up my alley. It was not a cheap purchase, but glasses are part of the face, and I will keep them with me for a long time to come.

Left Apartment Rugs

Art on the floor.

After the Corona disaster, I began to see the discourse everywhere that "the quality of one's home is linked to the quality of one's life". I sympathize with this statement, of course, but I can't say that my room is very well furnished. Recently, I have been working on various plans to get rid of such a bad-looking room. The first thing I thought I should start with was furniture, but I suddenly had a mysterious urge to hang up some art. I purchased a rug by graffiti artist COOK from Left Apartment, an online gallery site that sells art pieces. He is based in Los Angeles and Japan, and in 2011 he created the official graffiti art for the "Evangelion Movie. We decided to incorporate COOK's iconic characters into a rug instead of a canvas. While a painting would be a bit distracting, this is art that blends into everyday life and can be easily enjoyed anywhere in the room at any time.

Better™ Gift Shop

Better Gift Shop Caps

Orange in midsummer.

Have you ever wanted to shop, but didn't see anything you really wanted to buy? If so, you can always find something you like on the Better Gift Shop's Instagram page. T-shirts, caps, bottles, and other accessories with simple, good-sense logos and graphics always stimulate my dry, dry appetite. Even if I normally avoid logo items, the Better Gift Shop is a different story. One of the items I've been eyeing recently is a six-panel cap created in collaboration with Mexican artist Martí Guerrero. The bright orange body and the comical character sitting on the front are a perfect example of the collaboration between the two artists. The design is filled with the unique sensibility of Avi Gold, the brand's creator. I would normally opt for a more subdued color palette, but this summer I think I'll play around with it a bit.

Treadmill, great.

The treadmill came to our house in May this year. It is convenient to be able to run at any time of the day, regardless of the weather. Thanks to this treadmill, I was able to enjoy a comfortable running life even during the rainy season. Recently, I have been running while watching Netflix in an air-conditioned room. Is this a bad idea?

FreshService

Fresh Service Shirts

Simply put, I like it.

Every season, I always buy more of Fresh Service's clothes. The functional details scattered throughout, the urban silhouettes that are wide and yet elegant, the minimalist designs that bring out the individuality of the wearer... Their clothes have a clear purpose as "tools" to be worn for the purpose of appearance. Their clothes, which have a clear purpose as "tools" to be worn with the eyes, are ideal daily wear for me. This season's selection is the brand's first shirt made of Oxford fabric. While it has the suppleness characteristic of Supima cotton, it has been washed to give it a rough look. The front pockets, which also serve as a design accent, are gusseted, making it perfect for this season when you want to spend as little time as possible without your hands. As you can see, the color is a fresh blue, and it is worn yulking in the sun.

KUON × TAGS WKGPTY

Quon x Tags Working Party T-Shirt

The plain code is out.

I like to use T-shirts as innerwear, so I try to choose simple T-shirts as much as possible. However, in this season, when T-shirts are the star of an outfit, wearing only plain T-shirts sometimes leaves me feeling a little unsatisfied. So this season, I took the plunge and purchased a collaboration T-shirt from Quon and TAGS Working Party. The eye-catching front print expresses "textile" by pasting English letters that resemble "thread" horizontally and vertically. This is a reproduction of "fabric," an indispensable keyword when talking about "Quon," using "collage," which can be said to be an iconic technique of "TAGS Working Party. It may seem like a rather challenging design, but this level of flamboyance is just right for summer. A unique piece of clothing will make your daily styling even more fun.

Tsuchiya Bag Factory

Tsuchiya Bag Factory Wallets

A leather wallet that you can't help but love.

I tend to follow trends in clothing and music. Although I am a meek person to the extreme, I am attracted to Japanese brands that are different from trends in terms of quality, craftsmanship, and the feelings of the makers. My favorite among them is Tsuchiya Bag Factory. Their products are sophisticated and smart, yet functional. The main material of this bag is oil-buffed leather, which has a rustic, matte texture. It is still new, but the more I use it, the more I grow attached to its color and luster. The storage capacity is also perfect, and the compact size, which can easily fit in a pocket, is also to my liking. I will use it with great care until I see it age. And I will treat it with the same amount of care as I treat my money (laughs).

asportuguesas

Asportuguesas sandals

Pleasant beesan.

Summer means the ocean! Speaking of the sea, we mustn't forget about sandals! That is why I purchased a pair of beesandals from "Asportuguesas," a footwear brand that came from Portugal last fall. At a quick glance, you may notice a speckled pattern covering the entire sandal, but the secret is in the material. In fact, natural cork and rubber are used for the foothead and sole, and this unexpected use of different materials provides excellent cushioning and grip. The unevenly shaped outsole disperses and absorbs the burden placed on the feet. Beesans have an image of being unsuitable for long walks, but these are different. You can walk comfortably on the beach or even on concrete.
