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

Vintage Summit," a discussion on vintage clothing among vintage fanatics that started in February 2014, has finally reached its 10th edition! We are pleased to welcome back four regular members, Tomohiro Konno, Michihiko Kurihara, Fujihara Yutaka, and Takashi Abe, who will introduce items that are currently attracting their interest. What items are they interested in?

Now is the time to buy embroidered goods.

1960's Lee BLU-FAST DENIM JACKET , 1950's GWG COTTON TWILL JACKET

Fujiwara:Next is an embroidered jacket.

Abe:This rainbow embroidery , is awesome.

Kurihara:Although it is a motorcycle club , it doesn't look like one at all because of the color of the embroidery (laughs).

Fujiwara:G.D.B.G. , but I bought it cheap about 2 years ago.

Abe:It seems like the price of a jacket is lower nowadays if it has embroidery on it, but it used to be the other way around, didn't it?

Fujiwara:Yes . Of course, it depends on the design and content of the embroidery , but it is underappreciated.

Abe:. So now is a good time to start looking.

Kurihara:But in the U.S., it's still the same, and it's still expensive.

Abe:You like this kind of thing, don't you?

Konno:. but it could be reevaluated. It's one of a kind, unique to vintage clothing.

Fujiwara:I like to wear them on the back. In my case, I like sweatshirts as well as jackets that have prints or embroidery on the back.

Abe:Did you have this one, Lee, for a while?

Fujiwara:I bought this one at "Fake Alpha". It was originally priced at 59,800 yen, but it didn't sell for a long time and they lowered the price to 39,800 yen. I got kind of sad and bought it myself (laughs).

Konno:This light blue color may not be popular now, but it's quite rare.

Fujiwara:That's right.

Kurihara:By the way, is Lee's 101-J (denim jacket) selling well these days?

Fujiwara:It's still not as good as a " Levi's " denim jacket, but I can't find one at all to begin with. I'm looking for an old one, or even a 44-over size, but I can't find one.

Konno:Maybe it's because it's valued so cheaply that people won't let it go.

Fujiwara:There are possibilities (laughs). There are many interesting jackets other than Levi's jackets, and among them, I would like to recommend embroidered jackets like this one, because they are one-of-a-kind.

Kurihara:If you push that hard, you can't say to someone who brings an embroidered jean jacket to "Berber Gin" for purchase, "It's not popular right now," can you?

Abe:. I think the time may come again when people will say, "Well, there's no embroidery on it.

Kurihara:Then again, bad people will start to embroider it later, so be careful (laughs).
