As a student who sailed in a dinghy (a small yacht without a cabin), Helly Hansen is a brand that holds a special place in my heart. At the time, there was not much other choice, and every sailor was wearing a Helly Hansen jacket. The items of that time were a little too hard to wear on the street, but the 2017 Helly Hansen is different. The 2017 Helly Hansen is different. Although the item we picked up this time was designed for "sailing," the white and fluorescent yellow coloring and the moderate assertiveness of the logo give it a modern, fashionable look. Of course, it is also waterproof and breathable. Isn't this a good buy?

John Elliott mixes the nouveau feel of an L.A. brand with a contemporary feel that is appropriate for the New York runway with just the right amount of finesse. This season, a dusty pink color joins the standard line of parkas and T-shirts. The addition of this color to a collection based on monotone colors such as black, white, and gray brightens up the collection. John Elliott has been on my radar for some time, but I think it's finally time for a full-fledged breakthrough. The collection line is also impressive. Please take a look at the looks on the website. Incidentally, I heard that the designer, who is very particular about materials and details, often visits Japan for research and other purposes. I like that too.

Lately, I really like the band Petrols and have been listening to them a lot. . I know it's a little late for that, but what's wrong with being late? But I've decided that there's nothing wrong with being slow, and I've been letting the groovy sounds take over my ears every day. One day, while Googling "Petrols," I came across a shoe brand called "Makers. The name was familiar to me, and I had exchanged greetings with the designer, Mr. Teshima, a long time ago. However, I had never seen their shoes before, and thinking that this was just a coincidence, I took a look at them for the first time in several years and found them to be extremely beautiful shoes. They were also very comfortable. It was an encounter that made me happy for the first time in years.

The fusion of sports and fashion is not uncommon nowadays, and many brands are tackling this issue by changing their products and services. Even the color of a single border is sophisticated and elegant. They use Italian fabrics and finish them in Sartoria. On the one hand, there are clothes that compete with cheap fabrics and graphics, and on the other hand, there are clothes that incorporate a casual element of sports into such high quality fabrics. Personally, I definitely prefer the latter, and I am a middle-aged man who will turn 40 this year. It seems that not many of these clothes have made it to Japan yet, so now is the time to get a head start.

This weekend is the Hacettune 30K. I won't be there, but I will be there to cheer them on. . This is the first time I'm going out of my way to cheer for the race. I wonder if this will be another fun part of running, and I hope it will be.
. When going out for a short time, I would like to be as empty-handed as possible. If I can carry my phone, cigarettes, lighter, wallet, hand towel, and even a paperback book, I'm good to go. Most of these items can fit in my pants, so there is no problem, but if I have a series of meetings or receptions, my minimalist style quickly becomes overstuffed. In such a case, this shirt is not so much a good idea as a ...... shirt, but the six pockets around the front and back hem and one in-pocket are really reliable. I've graduated from the popular "sacochets" and am wondering if I should choose clothes with more storage capacity. Incidentally, it was designed by Shunsuke Ishikawa of "Markerware. He is indeed a master of his craft.

Hoka Oneone" just made its full-fledged arrival in Japan in 2017. As you can see, when I first put my foot through the shoes to enjoy the cushioning of the extra-thick midsole, I was even more surprised by the unique comfort provided by the "Meta Rocker Technology" outsole shape. The outsole's unique "Meta-Rocker Technology" outsole shape provides a unique comfort that is said to enable smooth foot movement and natural weight transfer through a rocking chair-like rolling motion, resulting in more efficient running. Surprisingly, this makes them addictive not only for running, but also for everyday wear. If you go to the trouble, you can do it on the trail, too! . We selected this model, the Challenger ATR 3, because it can be used both on the road and on the trail. The fact that it can be used both on the road and on the trail is also appealing.

In fact, the S-Lab Sense series is worn by a high percentage of participants in long races, and the packed appearance of the essentials is quite attractive.

Every season, I look forward to the "Nike Lab Gyaxo" collection. The innovative designs are completely different from conventional sportswear, but the real appeal of this label lies in its cutting-edge functionality, which is the result of Nike's unsparing application of its sports technology. The shorts, in particular, seem to be improving in perfection with each passing season. Moreover, the length, number of pockets, and layout of the shorts seem to have been designed with trail running in mind. According to the designer, Mr. Jun Takahashi, he does not seem to have a strong interest in trail running, but I think it is an interesting coincidence that his pursuit of function and design on the road has resulted in a synchronization with trail running.

On a business trip to Los Angeles, I watched the NBA, which I had dreamed of. I was deeply moved. Next up is the MLB.
Last season , I bought my first double jacket. A black corduroy set-up to be exact. For someone like me, who until then had lived a life without tailored jackets, it was a refreshing change, and it stimulated my appetite to try a single jacket in the spring and summer. The jacket I found this season, a collaboration between "Sunny Sea Cider" and "United Arrows Sons," is the ideal form. From the boldly printed chain on the front to the yellow pineapple accent on the back, this jacket is a piece that shows both the culture and fashion of the designer, Mr. NAOKI. . I would like to wear it roughly with a beautiful white T as an inner layer.

I'm not the only one who thinks the last few seasons of Old Joe have been really cool. Not only the looks, but also the dynamic seasonal visuals that they have been creating separately, are so cool that I want to keep them in my archives. One of the items that caught my personal attention was this bag, which at a glance looks like a drawstring bag. It is a simple design designed to hold the bare minimum of small items that one carries on a daily basis, such as a cell phone and wallet, making it a perfect item for a quick outing. The original military-inspired parts, Italian real bucket leather, and high-density duck fabric are a perfect match, and this bag is definitely better than a clutch bag.

The day after I finished proofing the critically acclaimed book "Huynem Unplugged," I went to Los Angeles for an interview. From Japan, where I could still breathe white breath, I went to the West Coast, where the temperature exceeded 30 degrees during the day. . Fortunately, I did not experience any rain during my stay. The day after I returned to Japan, it seemed to pour down at the WBC game (at Dodger Stadium), though. Well, I'll leave the coverage for a later time in HOUYHNHNM, but in the meantime, I stopped by the store "VIRGIL NORMAL" and bought these pants. I am ashamed to admit that I knew nothing about the brand and made a quick decision based on the appearance and the feeling I got when I tried them on. To put it bluntly, if "Engineered Garments" is the representative of New York-made pants made by Japanese designers, then "Monitary" is the representative of Los Angeles-made pants made by Japanese designers. The pants are made of a water-repellent 1001 TP10T cotton poplin weave, which is high-density and lightweight. In other words, it is the same as Bentile. Furthermore, they are tucked in and are easy pants without belt loops. No complaints.

During my business trip to Los Angeles, most of my transportation was by UBER. It was just so convenient, and I didn't mind going in areas where cabs obviously wouldn't go. . Thanks to the UBER, I was able to visit some spots that were a bit out of the way. One of them was the skate store LOTTIES. The store is owned by Michael Gigliotti, a nationally and internationally acclaimed artist who also designs T-shirts for Quartersnacks, and its DIY interior was impressive in the good sense of the word, with a local feel. This is what he was selling there. Alex Olson, who is a member of the Supreme crew and has been attracting attention in various scenes, has created "Call Me 917," a line more focused on skating than "Bianca Shandon. In Japan, you can find it at Dover Street Market. Anyway, I like the clean design.

Although it may still be cold at dawn and dusk, the sound of spring is just around the corner. As the weather gets warmer, it will be a little too hot for oiled jackets. I was looking for a light jacket or coat with a slightly work-like feel, and I found this coat made of French linen. It feels great against the skin, a feat made possible by Porter Classic's thorough attention to fabrics and dyeing. The light blue coloring of the linen fabric, a very spring-like coloring, is also very much in the current mood, and the way it is dyed with varying intensity has a certain elegance. It would be a little boring to wear only black or navy. I don't want to wear light blue as it is, but I feel that this is the ideal answer to my selfish desire to wear a slightly brighter color.

The tapered silhouette is very beautiful, but I thought that wide pants with tucks and belt loops were unusual for White Mountaineering. Although we have already offered wide pants in the past, I thought that it was unusual for White Mountaineering to offer wide pants with tucks and belt loops. At first glance, they look like basic pants, but in fact, there is a unique White Mountaineering trick inside that crosses over between the outdoors and fashion. The 65% cotton, 35% polyester fabric blend has an Outlast function that adjusts the temperature inside the pants to around 31 to 33 degrees Celsius, which is said to be the most comfortable temperature for humans to wear. In other words, they are perfect for sweltering heat. In winter, we can keep out the cold by wearing layers of clothing, but in summer, we are forced to wear pants no matter what we do. This is an effective way to deal with the summer heat.

While formal leather shoes are fine, we also want a type of shoe that can be worn in everyday life. So far, the long-established French leather shoes have been in this category, but these shoes have been added to that list. Foot the Culture" produces a rich lineup of modern work shoes and leather shoes. Among them, the "COUNTRY MANNER" is a new line that incorporates military elements based on the robust construction of classic country shoes. The color is notable. Khaki, especially military khaki, is the tone of this color. There is also a black color, but the use of this color for this line is very clever. At first glance, they may look rugged, but the last is narrow, giving them a sharp impression, and the quilted tongue and decorative holes are also nice accents. The sole can be reupholstered, and the toughness of the Goodyear welt manufacturing method is also military-like. These are the kind of shoes that can be worn casually, yet somehow make you want to straighten yourself up.

I am steadily reading "The Killing of the Knight Commander". I've loved Haruki Murakami since I was a teenager, and I've re-read his works many times, but it's hard to output my "love" for literary works, it's not suitable for the social networking age.
Normcore, simple basics, and "tei ni kawaii" (a simple life) are all words that have been overused on social networking sites and have quickly reached their expiration date. In their place, street, skate, youth, and other keywords that have been waiting in the wings for an opportunity are now taking over the scene. The "IVY SKATE" collection, produced in collaboration with "Sasquatchfabrix," is, to put it simply, a collection that is both current and hard-edged to the extreme. . The details are rooted in the DIY spirit of skate culture. A big size shirt cut off and reconstructed. On the chest and on the front of the cap, there are stitches that recall the one-point logo that should have been there originally. The coach jacket is inspired by a blazer with gold buttons, and together with the print on the back, it is cool and unbalanced. This is one of the brands that I have been interested in ever since I saw the invitations with Yukio Mishima painted on them.

Authentic, retro eyewear has dominated the market for some time, but this stoic, modern look may be a counter to that trend. n8ise, which debuted last October, does not regularly release collections like apparel, but takes pride in taking as much time as necessary to produce eyewear of satisfactory quality and design.

The local town of Hiratsuka overlooks the sea to the south , with a series of mountains to the north. In contrast to the straight, ruler-like horizon, the mountain ridgelines are winding like a line graph. On the way to a night view spot called Yabitsu Pass, which forms part of the mountain range, I came across a tunnel that almost no one uses. I parked my car and stepped into the tunnel, and was met with a darkness as dense as ink. A glance at this T-shirt brought back memories of that moment . Of course, Eric Elms and "Braindead" probably envisioned a cool, dry tunnel around L.A., but where on earth were they going? But where in the world does it lead to, anyway?

It will surely become an accent when I see a glimpse of it when I wear it. I am seriously considering buying one of these.

Currently, I'm wearing the standard khaki color on a heavy rotation, but they are so good that I'm thinking of getting another pair in a different material for the warmer season. I've narrowed it down to two choices, white or light-ounce denim, but I'm having a hard time deciding which one to get.

There are a variety of options available from a number of brands, not to mention from the mainstay sports brands, but for the more cynical, how about this one from TS? What is noteworthy is the polyester material. The gray color that gives off a rich and colorful look, doesn't it look familiar to you? Yes, it is not my imagination that I feel nostalgic. The reason is that this material is targeted at the "staple" market. . Therefore, the active impression is modest, and there is even a smart atmosphere. You can wear the track pants with a shirt as if they were "staples," or you can wear the set-up tight, as in the movie "ROCKERS," and be rock steady. .
