Hell is calling.
I enjoyed Netflix's "Hell is Calling". It's such a drama, like a mount of absurdity, with a hodgepodge of theism, dystopia, religious issues, etc. If you like Kazuo Umezu's works, you will probably like it. I've been thinking about reading "Watashi wa Shingo" for the first time in a while, but the hell called "Year-End Progress" is calling me.
SCHOTT x Steven Alan
SCHOTT x Stephen Allan pea coat
Mr. Haikara.
When I was a student, I longed for a 10-button pea coat. I could never find one, and even if I did, it was not something I could afford. It was at a "Steve Allan" store that such an expensive item appeared in front of me after several years of absence. The oversized version retains the vintage look, with fine details such as hand warmers on the chest, flap pockets, and reinforced corduroy on the inside of the pockets. In addition, the comfort of the extra space, the gentle curve of the shoulders, and the large collar that completely covers the neck when the collar is turned up, all have been updated in just the right way, without being too exaggerated. A mid-length pea coat can be worn on a bicycle, or taken to a stylish bistro without embarrassment. The pea coat is a wonderful combination of elegance, which blousons lack, and comfort, which coats cannot offer.

CIOTA
Siota N-2B
The reborn N-2B.
The hood is heavy and the fabric is shiny. Moreover, it has a weird shape that is impossible to wear. That was the image I had of the N-2B. However, the Siota N-2B completely dispels such negativity. The nylon twill fabric, which is made of the brand's well-known suvin cotton, has a good matte look. Besides, you can expect it to change over time. Furthermore, the body width and shoulder width have been modified, and while the length is short, it is quite easy to match. I somehow thought of that feeling of a duck parka. It can be worn as roughly as a sweatshirt, and the two-way hood and unique front placket give it a high degree of freedom. I am always amazed at the skill of "SIOTA" to keep the ruggedness and make it look modern.

TEMBEA
Tenbear Cashmere Military Gloves
The pinnacle of the military world.
It has the feel of a military hand that might be on display at a home improvement center, or that might have fallen by the wayside. Or rather, they were elegantly displayed in a showcase at a select store, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, the gloves were soft and fluffy. The material is cashmere, the jewel of textiles. This is the newest addition to Tenbea's well-known GUNTE series. It is moist, fluffy, and soft to the touch because of its excellent moisture and heat retention properties. You can enjoy the best features of cashmere, yet it doesn't make you feel expensive. You won't drop it on the side of the road.

Museen mini Bluetooth speaker
It looks like this, but it rides on one hand.
Recently, I've been seeing a combination of camping gear and military design. Every time I see it, I think "I like it," but since I don't lead an outdoorsy lifestyle, I've never really had a chance to get my hands on it. Even for me, an indoor person like myself, this portable speaker is easy to get my hands on. The Surplus-like looks and tough metal body are as sturdy and water-resistant as they look. The sound delivered via Bluetooth is truly powerful, and it's small enough to fit in one hand and comes with three flashlights. Now that you're ready to go outside, all you have to do is find someone to take you out.

Pax beanie
Gap beanie.
I'm not a fan of symbolic marks, to be honest. Like skulls, yin-yang, etc. I feel like all the "chi" in the world is going to gather here, and I feel like I can't carry it. (It may sound like a lie if I pretend to be a big fan, but I'm strangely okay with this beanie, and would gladly wear it. I think it's because the knit fabric and the rather rough, dot-like markings are cute, but every time I pick up a piece of clothing, I am impressed by PAX's ability to create such openings. The basic source of their clothes seems to be niche vintage clothing that the designers come into contact with every day, and the clothes are all very thoughtful in terms of subtle gimmicks and easy to wear. This beanie is no exception. Personally, I think I like to wear it with down jackets, nylon coats, and other different materials. It seems to bring out the cuteness! I've grown a little fond of yin and yang.

DEVELOPMENT BY NOROLL
General Sweatshirt of Development By No Roll
A sense of security and just a rarity.
I think I would feel comfortable if my sister's boyfriend wore it. It would make me feel like I would be able to trust my sister to this guy in the future. That's the kind of sweatshirt I'm talking about. The first thing you feel when you put on the sleeves is the thick body. The thicker count yarn is used for the front and back, and then napped and brushed, so it feels very smooth on the skin, and since it is brushed on the back, it has a high heat-retaining property. The moderate firmness is very comfortable. It should be noted that this is an "original border" knitted on one of the few knitting machines in Japan that can produce borders. The urban thin line is very appealing. In short, this is a sweatshirt that looks ordinary but cannot be made in the ordinary way.

ROTOTO
Socks of Lototo
They are willing to go through the hassle.
As I approach my late twenties, I have come to instinctively understand the importance of wearing socks at home. I guess you could say that until now, the implication of "I'm young" had kept me from wearing socks. The core coldness of my body encouraged me to put aside my pride, and it was then that I came across "Rototo". A Japanese brand that produces mainly in the town of Hiroyo, Nara Prefecture, the materials and knitting methods are carefully selected for each model, and they are willing to go to the trouble of making them. Such beliefs are coming through this season without omission, and we would like to introduce these three pairs to you. From left to right, "kid mohair," which is very rare, cotton and silk (used on the front and back sides), and merino wool, which has excellent heat retention, dehumidification, and odor control properties. The design is not too overpowering, but it is a delight to add a little accent to your styling. Choosing the right socks for winter's cold bottom is what "adults" in their late twenties, or rather, "grown-ups," are all about.

Birkenstock Boston
The Boston girls I met that day.
Aren't there a lot of girls wearing combed socks and bostons these days? Is it my imagination? Attracted by such footwear, I bought a pair of Boston without hesitation. I looked up the brand while I was shopping, and found that the brand was founded in 1778, and the age of the brand proves its proven ability. The "Boston" is one of the representative models born in 1978, and is characterized by its floppy toes, buckle design, and soft footbed that supports the entire foot. Many people have fallen in love with these shoes, and now that I'm one of them, I chose a pair in suede. I chose a pair in suede, which blends well with the skin and can be incorporated into your styling without making a statement on your feet. I bought a pair in taupe, which is a new color for this year. The socks can be worn with a chic color match or with a color to take them off. They have the potential to be all-around players. For now, let's go back to those girls in my memory and find the golden ratio of socks and socks.

First time in Hokkaido.

Snow Peak
Snow Peak Anorak
Dear Mampa.
I'm a sucker for this kind of shaped clothing. As I mentioned last month, the influence of Liam Gallagher is the reason for this. Also, as I have a long neck, I feel comfortable in clothes with a high collar, as it reduces the area of skin exposed and keeps me warm. This one by Snow Peak is ideal. The fabric is the familiar mountain cloth made of cotton for the warp and nylon for the weft, and while it is breathable, it is also resistant to abrasion. The fabric has been sulfide-dyed to give it a unique, hazy look. The front pocket is gusseted and has a large capacity, and there is even a mesh pocket! The more you wear it, the more you can enjoy the color fading, so it is something you will want to use for a long time to come.

Stüssy
Stussy's Vest
Singing and dancing this winter.
I got a bright yellow mountain parka as outerwear for winter around October, and that was the start of a strange switch. Now my closet is lined with items in dazzling shades, such as a bright red choir coat and an orange anorak. So, since I already have a range of outerwear, my next target is an easy-to-use vest. I had originally used a liner jacket as a winter innerwear, but I was concerned about the stiffness of the sleeves, since they are the type that you wear inside. That's why I decided on a vest. I was particularly attracted to one from Stussy. The pattern is flashy, but when I put it on over a plain sweatshirt, it blended in better than I had imagined. It would be difficult to find a vest with sleeves in this pattern, but this vest adds just the right amount of flair to a winter outfit. With the mild winter we have been having in recent years, solid outerwear is a bit over-specialized, so I think I will make good use of the vest.

A.P.S. Denim
A new face for Japan only.
Published in OctoberSpecial feature article on "A.P.S.I was in charge of the "A.P.S. Denim" issue of the magazine. I asked three stylists what they thought of "A.P.S." denim, and they also showed me their self-coordinated outfits, which made me want to wear denim out of the blue. I knew that denim was a classic item, but I had somehow overlooked it until now. I had an image of it being slim, and I thought it would not suit my style, but when I saw the "New Taille Ott," which appeared this fall as a Japan-only model, my opinion changed 180 degrees. It has the wide, straight silhouette I was looking for, but at the same time it has the minimalism and elegance that only A.P.S. can offer. I decided on you for my memorable first pair of "A.P.S." denim!

The old logo of youth.
Produced by Huinamu.Gregory's special websiteI am also involved in some of the products on the website. I sometimes visit their website to research what kind of products are available, and this shoulder bag caught my eye. What attracted me to it was the logo. Of course, the current version is good, but as I used to use a "daypack" with the old logo when I was in high school, this streamlined design is a memory of my youth. And the fact that it is not a used one, but an official one from the brand, is also a good thing. It has many pockets and is perfectly usable. I was just looking for a bag with a slanted slant, so this is the one I want to get first.

Zanter for Graphpaper
Zanter for graph paper down jacket
The mainstay of winter down.
Harsh or mild winter this year? Or is it a mild winter? It is a common occurrence for winter outerwear to sell out while you hesitate to think about such things. Either way, winter is cold, so I purchased this piece of clothing, a collaboration between "Graph Paper" and long-established down manufacturer "Zanter. The two companies have teamed up every year, and this season's down has a minimalist design with fewer decorations than in previous years. The back side is red, which contrasts attractively with the calm gray. The generously stuffed insulation down provides a light and warm comfort and a lovely rounded silhouette. I'm quite cold, so I'm looking forward to seeing how well it functions in the winter season.

Keet sweatpants
A classy yuletide.
Sweatpants have been making a big comeback over the past few seasons. I have several pairs myself, but when it comes to comfort, nothing compares to these. I always wear them when traveling by car or bullet train for long periods of time. I am well aware that sweat pants have a strong loungewear image, but I think that sweat pants with comfort and looseness are a fashion item that fits the current mood. That's why I was so impressed with Keat's new line. The gentle off-white color gives a clean look, and the straight silhouette with a stooping drop creates a sense of elegance. The fabric is thick and the fleecy lining provides soft and warm comfort. Both design and practicality are impeccable.

Cabaret Povar Sweatshirt
I like this tension.
If you were to ask me what brands are hot right now, I would definitely say "Cabaret POVAL. I would definitely mention "Cabaret POVAL" when asked what brands are hot right now. Yuya Tanaka of Diaspora Skateboards is the brand behind it, and I first learned of its existenceNews hereThe reason for my interest in the brand was the "retro" yet "modern" look of the collection. The retro yet modern look, the print work that is new to me but still nostalgic, etc... I am attracted to the sense of imbalance. This sweatshirt is one of the pieces with such a comfortable sense of discomfort. The gold embroidery is not only sexy, but also gives a sense of familiarity with the loose silhouette. It would look right at home in a vintage clothing store, and there are probably a lot of people who like this style. Is this a bit too abstract? But if you actually see it, you will feel the same way.

Giovanni shampoo and conditioner
Hardcore hair care: ⁉︎
This men's daily shampoo and conditioner from the men's line of Giovanni, an organic hair care brand from LA, has a bottle design that is "just like a Chinese man's." I was attracted to this product because of its gorgeous shine and unusual presence. While many of the bottle designs for this type of item have a dusty or overly sophisticated look, I was attracted to the luxurious shine of the bottle and its different presence, so I purchased it. The efficacy is as manly as the packaging, and the brand's unique blend of extracts washes away dirt from the scalp while also moisturizing it. It does it all in one step, making for quick and easy hair care. The fragrance, which has just the right amount of sweetness and freshness, is not only sexy but also noble. If you want to polish your manliness for Christmas, this is definitely the one.

Lakeside hours.
I went to "Time by the Lake" again this year. Under the cold weather, the festival along Lake Shirakaba at an altitude of 1,400 meters offers a different kind of chill time from the hustle and bustle of midsummer. The exhibitors are stores with Nagano connections, many of the participants are locals, and there is a warm, bonfire-like aspect to the festival. As a lake collector, I'm very much looking forward to seeing the beautiful Mirror Lake.

Porter Classic Swing Coat
If you don't swing.
I don't like the cold, but for some reason I can't seem to choose a warm coat every year. I have a great resistance to puffiness, and I haven't worn a down coat in years. However, slim coats are cold, and my face, shoulders, and mood tend to droop when I am cold. This coat, however, will break through the winter's downward spiral. The name "swing coat" means "golf coat"? But there is a different meaning. The fabric is made of high quality fine count yarn woven at high density, and the silhouette is characterized by an A-line shape with a large spread. When the north wind blows, this coat flutters and dances. Just walking around is like a scene from a musical movie. The paraffin finish makes it moderately water-repellent, and the more you wear it, the softer and shinier it becomes, and the more you love it, the deeper its flavor becomes. In winter, let's go swinging on the trees.

SUP in Sawyer Stick
SUP, this is my first time.
Around the summer before I joined Huinamu, I got hooked on the lake and started SUP (stand up paddle). I am a form-first kind of person, so the first thing I did was to buy a board. I looked around for a board, but I couldn't find anything in red, blue, white, and other European designs.... That is when I discovered "Souyustik. The brand name comes from the coined word "rowing" which means to paddle and play outdoors, and the earth-colored finish blends in with the grain of the wood and nature. The entry model "Skywalk 10'6" is an inflatable model that is relatively easy to carry. All the necessary tools are included in the package, so you can start SUP right away. And it is a bit more reasonably priced than other brands. Best of all, the quiet olive color is perfect for the lakeside setting. By the way, my best lake is Lake Aoki in Hakuba, Japan.

Keen's Hauser II
You can spoil your feet all you want.
After two years of wearing them out for 2.5 seasons each in fall, winter, and spring, the "Hauser II" by Keen has become so worn out that I can no longer wear them this year. They are the perfect relaxed shoe that you can slip on and off with ease. My ankles, heels, and toes tend to rub against any kind of shoe, but the "Hauser II" fits me like a wrap, with no obstructions. The inside is soft and warm, and the shoes are very light, weighing only 300 grams, so they are light on your feet. There is no stress at all when wearing them, so I end up using them a lot. The fact that they are surprisingly slim and don't stand out on the feet is another point where they are often used. They have been a big hit at camps and are already falling apart. I have to repeat them this year.
