Vintage Summit 10: A Vintage Roundtable Discussion by some of the industry's leading eccentrics.

Konno:The first is a fishing jacket. I brought these two pieces because I like short jackets and have been wearing them a lot lately.

Kurihara:It's a short run (laughs).

Konno:Yes, yes. I liked a manufacturer called "King Dash" (editor's note: a manufacturer of deformed school uniforms) (laughs).

All:(Laughter).

Abe:Is this jacket a Bauer down jacket?

Konno:That's right. It's a shape you don't see.

Fujiwara:I saw it for the first time too....

Abe:Where did you get this?

Konno:I bought it at a store in Harajuku called "Counter", an affiliate of "Damaged Dawn", around February this year.

Fujiwara:It's the former "Lost Hills" location.

Konno:Yes, that's right. I happened to be passing by the store and saw this jacket, so I went inside and asked to see it.

Kurihara:To begin with, you don't see down in fishing wear.

Konno:It's not there. It's a good shape when you wear it.

Abe:It's fishing, so the details are interesting...60's maybe?

Kurihara:I'm using this zip, so it's probably circa late 60s.

Fujiwara:If this color is available, then khaki may also be available.

Kurihara:But I don't see this form itself in the first place (laughs).

Abe:Why do I see so few of them?

Konno:Maybe there was no need for the combination of fishing and down (laughs).

Abe:Is this Elle Bean?

Konno:Yes, I have a pair of these. The fabric is interesting and PVC coated.

Kurihara:It hasn't deteriorated.

Konno:So far, I haven't.

Abe:I guess the 80's.

Konno:I think so. I found this ventilation hole interesting and was attracted to this detail.

Fujiwara:It's nice. I kept looking at it and it kind of looks like Kuri's face (laughs).

Kurihara:Because I don't know what to say (laughs).

Abe:Is this a game pocket?

Konno:I think the game pocket is fine.

Kurihara:Do you put your prey in the fishin like hunting?

Konno:Oh no, I don't think I'll put it in. I think I'll use it for another purpose...

Kurihara:When you think about it calmly, it is not a good idea to put a bird you have killed in the game pocket of your hunting jacket (laughs).

Konno:You often find blood on them or feathers in their pockets.

Abe:When did you get this?
