LET'S FIND A NEW TOKYO!

Chums and a tour of an unknown Tokyo.

Chums is an outdoor brand born in 1983 in Utah, USA. With its iconic booby logo and pop design, the brand is highly popular in the camping field. To be honest, it would be a waste to wear Chums clothes only for camping. Depending on how you match them, they can also be used as street clothes without regret. In this issue, we will discover new charms of "Chums" clothing that you may not have noticed at the campsite, while touring three spots in Tokyo that you may not have known existed.

SPOT2. K2

After exercising, we went to "Shimokita - Ekimae - Cinema 'K2'", a movie theater that was born in January this year on a former railroad track in Shimokitazawa.

It is located in the (tefu) lounge, which functions as a coworking space and cafe. Visitors can relax in the spacious lobby before and after movie screenings.

You can make reservations online in advance, or just pop in and choose the movie you want to see. Cashless payment is available, so there is no need to worry about having a lot of coins ready, and you can enjoy the movie in a smart and convenient way.

For those who worry too much and carry too many things, the black backpack from Chams with rainbow lines is perfect. 210D double ripstop nylon is used, making it lightweight and strong, and it is safe even when used tough.

Traffic IC and beverages you want to take out immediately are in the side pocket, while your wallet and other valuables are in the zippered pocket. The pockets are large and small, so they are easy to sort and convenient.

The three are holding MAKING (¥1,320), an original K2 magazine that has been on sale since March. It is about movies and the "way they are made" in the town, and it shares the process of how movie theaters grow up together with the town. The first issue also features an interview with Ryusuke Hamaguchi, director of "Drive My Car," which won an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.

For those who want to go out lightly, we recommend a B5 size sakosh. The length of the bag can be adjusted, so it can be worn over the shoulder or around the neck, making it easy to use. This season's Chams items are cobalt blue with a white brand logo and rainbow tape accents for a fresh look.

It is a movie that you want to talk about while the heat is still on. We had a coffee in the lobby and chatted for a while.

Incidentally, the girl is wearing a flared denim skirt. The white stitching runs along the length of the skirt, making it especially cute in the back. The silhouette is beautiful, so in summer, just a T-shirt or shirt is all that is needed to complete the look.
