Marshmallow day
The other day, I was on a yakatabune for a photo shoot, and it was the ultimate experience in the world. Delicious kaiseki, sake, and a beautiful night view. You can sing karaoke without worrying about the noise. It was definitely better than a hotel suite , and the people I went with were great. The people I rode with were great, too.
A VONTADE
Fatigue jacket by Avontaj
My mood is iridescent.
Even the most cynical preferences, such as "I can't wear that color coat," or "I don't look good in military wear," can change with the passing of each season. People's moods are always iridescent. The reason why they change is because of this jacket. It is based on a fatigued jacket from the 60s and 70s. It had the impression of being too wild, but by tailoring it with iridescent fabric, we have managed to achieve both a classy and rough look. I felt the exquisite twist that neither casual nor dressy, and felt the sophistication that only "Avontaj" can provide.

BROWNBAG
Brown bag shoulder bag
Requirements for partners.
I don't want to look for a lover of specs, but specs are pretty important in a bag. This one is a high-spec bag: it fits an A4-size bag , has a mesh pocket and a key anchor, and both sides of the front are tunneled so that you can put your jacket or shirt through it. The front sides of the bag are tunnel-shaped, so you can put a jacket or a shirt through it. It may look sleek, but it has a deep and generous space. I think it is essential to be able to stay with a person who is comfortable by your side every day.

Mokti's Hanging Pile Mexican Parka
Mequipa in pile.
When one hears the word "mequipa" (Mexican parka), the first thing that comes to mind is a thick, bulky cotton fabric. The toughness of the fabric, which does not get old even after repeated washing, is what attracts me to this type of parka, but MOKUTI's mekipa is the opposite, being made of a soft and fluffy fabric. Moreover, it is not just a pile fabric, but the brand's original top quality. By making special improvements to the pilled pile lining, a fluffy puffiness is created, giving it an incomparably soft feel. This is the supreme realm that Mequipa, which was born in the holy land of surfing and has been loved as beachwear, has reached. This is exactly what we call the "green room" in surfing.

BURLAP OUTFITTER
Wide track pants with burlap outfitter.
Third Summer of Love.
Lately, I've been interested in acid house and rave culture fashions. I'm passionate about such styling, such as wearing a techie shell jacket with a tight fit, or adding neon colors. . I can't change the silhouette right away, but I want a change of pace, starting with the color. So I chose pants, which come in an amazing nine colors. Basic colors such as black and khaki are available, but it is the bright colors around here that are worth noting. They are made of SUPPLEX nylon, which is quick-drying and has excellent UV protection, and at this price. This is a good choice for those who want to try their hand at it.

How cool is that? The results of the battle for tickets will be announced next month.By the way, I made an article the other day , so please do not hesitate to read it.
POLYPLOID
Polyploid workwear jacket B
Good at sneaking in.
Along with the boom in fishing and camping, the bagless jacket market seems to be heating up, but there is one thing I would like to mention. I don't like to say this out loud because I don't do any of the above activities, but I don't like clothes that have as many pockets as possible and make you feel like you are wearing pockets.... . I don't think it's smart to have pockets that bulge out.... Even I, who am not a natural born sinner, was impressed by this item of clothing. It is from the German brand "Polyploid. The material is much lighter than a 500ml plastic bottle and has a PFC-free water-repellent finish. And although there are only two pockets at first glance, there are also five inside and five outside pockets (!!!). . The material is also very lightweight and clean without being overpowering. . The materials used are also combined to create a clean and comfortable package that is wonderful. People and jackets will surely be popular from now on if they are good at hiding things.

COMING OF AGE
Coming of Age Everyday Bag
Gingham for everyone.
Forgive me for being biased, but I thought gingham checks were for girls who wore skirts. So I had given up on the idea that geeky HOUYHNHNM readers would ever be able to relate to this pattern (sorry). Then I came across Coming of Age." The brand makes bags and clothes using a shiny fabric called "silk taffeta," which is also used for wedding dresses. This practical tote bag has a large gusset and is waterproof. It is perfect for grocery shopping or picnics. The color scheme is reminiscent of Mistdo's golden chocolate, and the fabric also adds a touch of class to the cuteness. I had no idea that gingham checks had the power to embrace men and women of all ages.........................

The drawstring concept has been updated.
Sorry , I underestimated the drawstring bag. But thank you . Thanks to "Nowhere Studio," I realized the potential of the kinchaku bag. My checklist for a kinchaku bag is the amount of gathers it has when it is closed and its presence as a standalone bag. The gathering condition is determined by the material and the opening of the drawstring, but I have never seen anything as beautiful as this. The bag is made of French-made high-quality lambskin for the front and back, and the front is a single piece of leather with no seams. And while a drawstring bag can sometimes look poor, perhaps due to its form, this one has a presence on its own while complementing the clothes. This is due to the slight weaving of the handles and the plain white thread on the bottom of the bag. (A word often used in item introduction texts, but this time I use it with all my heart.

What a thing to do, you know .
Do you have any old things that are nothing special? A small container that an elementary school boy must have made in class, or a cup with a mysterious mark on it that the previous owner must have put on it . I have been acquiring these items from "free-use corners" found at the eaves of private homes and antique stores, but I am happy to report that a new store has been added to the list of stores. It is called "Goods. The items are positioned as "other" things that are not included in encyclopedias or world histories, and are sold only online.pop-up store(Also available for purchase at the "K" Line Store). What is interesting is that each item is given a word thought up by a poet, film director, or other creator, which is then used as the name of the item. Furthermore, the prices range from 1,500 yen to 30,000 yen, and are completely determined by the owner's preference, not by scarcity. The store is a mystery, but as you can see, the store has a good eye for unusual items with an extraordinary atmosphere. To be honest, it wouldn't be much trouble if it weren't there, but if it were there, there would be something there. Please take a look at the website....

Someone's dream and value are something that cannot be measured by others. Famous or unknown, expensive or inexpensive, there is a dimension that has nothing to do with such yardsticks. What may be unnecessary to someone else may be important to them. I like that kind of uncertainty, or rather, that kind of range.

The strongest Yakult.
Lately, I have been having trouble falling asleep and waking up too soon. I set multiple alarms, and when I finally wake up, I end up sleeping twice. I was looking for a solution to this problem, and I finally found it. Yakult 1000. I won't go into the details, but in short, it is the strongest version of Yakult. If you drink it before going to bed, you will be surprised how refreshed you will be in the morning. It is so popular that it is often sold out at convenience stores, so please refrain from buying it for me.
COGNOMEN.
Cognomen Knitwear
Soccer fans drool.
Cognomen" is created by Michael Hitoshi Oe. I had heard of the brand, but had never seen it in person, so I went to the 22AW exhibition the other day. As someone who has played soccer before, I was intrigued by the items that incorporated the two elements of the designer's roots in England and his childhood passion for soccer. As someone who has also played soccer, I was very intrigued by these items. When I hear the words "soccer" and "fashion," hooligans and casuals come to mind, but "Cognomen" has a traditional element, which is another British style, and the balance of the two is exquisite. . One of the most appealing items is the brand's signature knitwear. The knitwear introduced here is also full of playfulness, with a uniform-like design, a reversible geometric pattern, and a brand logo reminiscent of a certain soccer brand. The tight silhouette and 5-minute sleeves, reminiscent of old uniforms, are also very appealing to soccer fans.

C.P. Company Jacket
Kinky clothes .
Massimo Osti has pushed sportswear to new heights with the launch of Stone Island and C.P. Company. Since I saw "Ideas from Massimo Osti," a collection of his design work, I have been obsessed with CP Company. . What I like about it is the perverse attention to detail in their clothes. For example, in this jacket, the body and the pockets are made of different materials, and different tones are created with a single dye job. After deciding on the coloring first, he would then come up with a design that would match the color. This way of creation, which is different from the others, tickles the male heart intensely. Also, while pursuing functionality, the garment dyeing process, which is a well-known technique, gives the clothes a sense of temperature, which is also a good thing. . I think I will be collecting "CP Company" from now on.

Personally, I liked "United Asle," but there is another body brand that has made its debut that I am very interested in. The name of the brand is "Basement Gear" (Basement Gear). It is being handled by a certain up-and-coming street brand, and proposes "an ideal basic yet on-trend style. , for example, this parka. It looks like it could be worn anywhere, but the exquisite garment-dyed coloring and the heavy 15 oz. fabric go well with my current mood. I haven't worn a parka for a while, but perhaps I haven't had a chance to pick one up in a while.

AMIACALVA
Amiakarva Bags
Perfected use and beauty.
Up until now, when it comes to bags, I have been using a backpack. I thought there was no other choice, as it frees up both hands and does not tire me out. . However, a backpack covers your entire back, and I felt that it tended to interfere too much with my coordination. That is why I chose a body bag. The "Amicalva" bag is just the right size for everyday use, and the design is not too assertive. The material used is a twisted polyester gabardine, which gives it a sense of elegance while also being water-repellent. I've recently been gravitating toward outdoor-inspired clothing, and since it seems to go well with that genre, I think I'd like to make my body bag debut with "Amicarva.

Align x S2O sweatshirt
Sweatshirt top and bottom to wear in town.
During one photo shoot, a stylist told us, "It is difficult to determine the turning point at which the sweatshirt top and bottom become pajamas. He was right; no matter how trendy they may be, if you make a mistake, they are just loungewear. For street wear, it is important to find the perfect balance of details such as silhouette, color, logo, etc. . After going through such detailed checks, I recently purchased a special order of "Align" from the long-established tennis wear brand "S2O. The archival logo from the company's founding is placed on the chest and sleeves, and the silhouette is set in a modern wide fit. The oatmeal color, which is not too sweet and not too strong, adds warmth and calmness to the casual look. Choose a vivid-colored T-shirt as an inner layer, and add a pair of "990s" or "Wallabies" to your feet for an easy city style look.

Witty sweatpants.
Conclusion . When it comes to loungewear, there is no bottom that can compete with sweatpants. Until a few years ago, they were rarely seen on the streets, perhaps because of their loungewear image, but over the past few seasons they have become a household name in the fashion scene. Comfortable, modern, and perfect for any occasion, I wear them every day. I already had three pairs, so I had no trouble keeping them in rotation, but I couldn't pass up a pair of "Stellacy" jeans. Inspired by the Showa-era Yankee's bon-ton, this item has a relaxed silhouette that allows you to wear it stress-free. The wide gusset is made with thick ribbing and is nine-part length, allowing for a comfortable fit. The key ring on the waist and the pile lining make these sweatpants very comfortable.

FREAK'S STORE × SAUVENIR
Freix Store x Saubenia's indoor wear
Just the right dal wear.
I have been interested in the "Saubenia" indoor wear series since I saw them at a nearby "Freaks Store" at the end of last year. I thought the embroidery of "all-night sauna" on the chest and the design based on the motif of "indoor wear," as the name implies, were cute and easygoing, and the new series is now available again this season. . The key point is the pile fabric used for the body. In addition to being soft and fluffy to the touch, it also has excellent water absorbency, making it useful not only after a sauna, but also for short outings or as a nightgown during the summer. As part of the indoor wear series, collaboration models with popular bathing facilities such as "Koganeyu" and "Gokurakuyu" are also on standby in different materials. The white pile material is the "Scandinavian" model, which is the holy land of "Sado," and the name of the store will be embroidered on the chest. Yes, speaking of "Scandinavia," the best thing about "Scandinavia" is that it is the best place to take a bath outside in the summer, so please visit the set with the indoor wear series.

One Action for the Environment.
. Maybe I'm just not familiar with it, but I had never heard of shampoo bars. As the name suggests, it refers to a soap-like solid shampoo, and since there is no need for plastic bottles, it has already become a hot topic among environmentally conscious people. The "Shampoo Bar Dry & Damaged" from Ecostore contains jojoba oil and shea butter to moisturize and manage hair, while the "Nourishing Conditioner Bar" contains chia oil and coconut oil to maintain the necessary moisture. Since all the ingredients of a liquid shampoo and conditioner are condensed in one product, a single product can be used to wash hair approximately 60 times, making it a product that is not only environmentally friendly, but also gentle on your hair and your wallet. The key to using this product is to apply it directly to wet hair or simply lather it up by hand. Once you get used to it, it will lather up well. The more you use this product, the more eco-friendly it becomes , so why not welcome it into your bathroom?

Low-tech is good.
As the outdoors heats up, the tech wars between companies have become a battle of the tech wars, but recently it seems that more and more brands are daring to break away from the fray. RPS BY THE ORIGINAL ROKX, a new line from ROKX, is in this mood. The brand has dug up its archives and goes back to the year 2000, when the brand was founded. The pants recreate the unique hip cut of that time, ensuring ease of movement for climbing. The overdyed finish gives them a soft, old-fashioned feel, which is a good thing. . The use of recycled cotton is environmentally friendly. . The best part is that the price is affordable. These items make camping a little less intimidating.

THERMOS
Thermos Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Bowl (ROT-001)
A winter camping companion's companion.
When it comes to dinner at camp on a cold day, one-pot meals are, by far, the most popular. It warms you up, is easy to prepare, and is a great way to get plenty of vegetables. . . However, in the extreme cold of the outdoors, it can quickly become cold if you are careless. And it is difficult to hold the pot while it is still hot. There are many outdoor cooking utensils that conduct heat well, but there are only a few heat-resistant mugs, so why can't I find a vacuum-insulated bowl? I wondered why there were no vacuum-insulated bowls, and then Thermos came along with a suggestion. Recently, Thermos has been making great strides in the outdoor scene. When Thermos released a cold can holder in the past, we were impressed by its price and performance, and this bowl looks very promising as well. The fact that they are stackable is also a good thing. I think they will still be very useful in this season when it gets cold from night to morning.

There was a whiff of intellectualism that set it apart from other animal magazines.

It's worth the trip , and it's worth the effort.
I am extremely sensitive to cold weather, and I have a hard time waiting for the days to warm up slowly on the border between winter and spring. I am not good at waiting for the days between winter and spring to warm up, so I am not afraid of buying knitwear at this time of year and wearing it until just before May. So, I picked up this puffy knitwear at "Temu" since I had come all the way to Narimasu.Select store "Temu" opened just last yearis staffed by three lovely people who take turns tending the store. It is a living store where you can find bargain second-hand clothes, see some rare plants, and never get tired of going there. Next to the cash register, there is a mysterious figure of a businessman staring at an old-fashioned box-shaped computer, but if you look closely, you will see that it is a mechanical device. What happens when you press the button? . You'll have to wait and see for yourself.
