Graduated from Wolf Boy.
It has been seven years since I started the "surf-in" scam, and I feel that I have finally entered a new phase of my life. The other day, I had a chance to surf at the Shizunami Surf Stadium in Shizuoka during a Tudor event, and I got the feeling that it might be surprisingly possible. If I were to start surfing in earnest in my hometown of Kamakura, I would start early in the morning. I don't want to get in trouble with others.





Calvin klein
The Calvin Klein Collection

It should get more attention.
I am personally interested in Calvin Klein.The other day.The collaboration with Palace Skateboards was exciting, but more interesting is the new basic line, Calvin Klein Standers. At the helm is our very own Willie Chavarria, who will take over as director of the global men's apparel team in February 2021. Yes, he is a genius who creates collections that are stirred up with a traditional mindset in that extremely thick and bad style. For those who think that a line bearing the designer's name is a bit too extreme, we recommend this line, which is a perfect marriage with "Calvin Klein. It is big but not too big. It is a masterpiece collection that combines the best of both worlds: it has a "cool" feel, but also has elegance.

Bang & Olufsen
Bang & Olufsen Wireless Earphones


Good sound, good design, good function.
I can no longer imagine my daily life without wireless earphones. I've been hearing a lot of noise about how wired earbuds are better and wireless earbuds don't sound as good, but with these earbuds, all that noise is completely cancelled out (not well). I've been using Bose'sthis (indicating an item near the speaker, the action of the speaker, or the current topic)I used to use the "BEOPLAY EX" by , but recently, the "BEOPLAY EX" by has joined the family. Family? I think it's a good idea to have wireless earphones for home, office, and travel. So I think it's a good idea to have one for home, one for work, and one for traveling. My second son's earphones have a mellow and elegant sound. In fact, I am thinking of using it for office use for a while, as I spend the most time listening to music.

Paraboot
Paraboot Loafer

It's my favorite.
Paraboot" has been frequently introduced in Finam. It is no longer a family business. I personally own the loafer "Lance" and the U-tip "Thiers". I personally own the loafer "Lance" and the U-tip "Thiers," and I had been thinking that I could wear them for a while, but since the day I saw the grained leather of the "Lance," I have not been able to settle down. I personally have a thing for grained leather, and I use grained items in all kinds of leather goods, such as shoes, bags, wallets, and accessory cases. Smooth leather's neatness and luster sometimes seem a bit too much, and I feel that the casualness of grained leather suits me better. It's like a life-size leather.

ATELIER BETON
Long T by Atelier Beton

Comfort Type.
When it comes to comfortable clothing, Japan is at a very high level. All brands and manufacturers are elaborate in their pursuit of comfort. However, there are naturally different types of comfort, and while some are soft and soft, others are firmer and firmer. Personally, I prefer something in between. Aprons are the icon of Atelier Beton, and in fact, we have been pursuing this kind of comfortable clothing since the brand was first launched. And while this is just my personal image, I feel that many of our clothes are in the "in-between" range as I mentioned earlier. This long T-shirt has a delicate, silky texture and is a bit on the soft side, but I liked the subtle German typography (small on the left front) that counteracts the sweetness.

Seeking.
Since the UTMF ended in a disappointing way, I am still trying to figure out what to do next. I have a few races in the pipeline, but I need to put on a 100-km long race to get some points. So, what should I do?

Love x Rainbow Disco Club rain jacket

Rain jacket scented with music.
Outdoor festivals are tough. You are outside for a long time, and if the venue is huge, it is hard to move around. The weather can change suddenly. Therefore, if you are dressed like you are going for a walk, you will be physically exhausted and will not be able to enjoy the music. In such cases, you can rely on a rain jacket. However, if you are going to go to the trouble of wearing one, it should be one that also allows you to enjoy the festival atmosphere. To that end, we introduce this jacket made in collaboration with Love, a British outdoor manufacturer, and the Rainbow Disco Club held in Izu, Japan. The base is the "DOWNPOUR ECO JACKET" made of lightweight, waterproof, breathable Pertex Shield. The hood with drawcord, hand warmer pockets, and Velcro adjusters on the cuffs provide performance that functions in the outdoors, while the "Rainbow Disco Club" logo is placed on the back. This alone transforms a plain rain jacket into a quaint piece of clothing. It will come in handy in the mountains, in town, and at festivals.

macpac
Mack Pack running backpack

A trusted brand.
Somehow, the more people who know things, the more likely they are to be carrying a backpack. The overwhelming robustness of their signature material "Aztec" and their honest and authentic design reminiscent of their national character have a universal appeal that is not influenced by trends. The "Amp Ultra 10" backpack for running has been released from "MacPac". The Amp Ultra 10 was jointly developed by a multisport champion and the alpine team of his home country. In addition to a large 15-liter capacity that can handle long races, the pack is equipped with a front flask pocket and hydration sleeve. The back panel and shoulder harnesses are made of polyester air mesh for an excellent fit and comfort. The storage capacity follows that of so-called vest-type sacks, and a mesh pocket is added to the outside of the main cargo compartment. You can smoothly take your belongings in and out of the baggage compartment even while on the move. The mint green and yellow color coordination is just right for my taste, blending in naturally while at the same time making a statement. I would honestly like to try this trekking bag made by the trusted "MacPac" company.

HOKA
Hoka Trail Running Shoes

Mountain Carbon.
Thick-soled shoes with carbon plates have quickly taken over the running scene and changed the landscape of the field. In recent years, this wave has been steadily spreading to the trail running scene as well as the road. In the midst of this trend, Hoka has introduced a new model "Tecton X" equipped with two carbon plates. It is also very good. In fact, when you put your foot into the shoe, you will find that it is very flexible and comfortable to wear. The engineered Jacquard mesh with an excellent fit and the thin tongue help the foot and shoe feel as one. When you start running, the underfoot area is just so comfortable. The two-layer midsole with different hardness promotes quick response, and the two carbon plates provide precise support for the start of movement from landing to the next step on uneven terrain. The Vibram's Mega Grip is able to catch all kinds of surfaces with precision. The sweet spot is also wide, so runners of various levels can wear them properly. These versatile carbon-equipped trail shoes are the result of Hoka's renowned development capabilities. They are well worth a try.

OAKLEY
Oakley Sunglasses

When it comes to sunglasses, this is the one.
I try to wear my favorite items when I race. It motivates me. It was the same in the recent UTMF. However, I was so exhausted that my head wasn't in the right place, so I left important gear behind in such and such a place. Oh well.... One of my favorites was the "Frogskin" by Oakley, which I often used on a daily basis. I am used to wearing the well-known authentic form, and the fit is excellent. Thanks to the overwhelming lens performance unique to Oakley, visibility was excellent. I've been using them so much that I'm thinking of getting a new pair, but when I look at the website, there are so many variations. Should I go plain or take the plunge? I'm having a hard time deciding which one to choose, so I'm going to pick one up at a store next time I'm in town.

It has been a year since I started bass fishing. I visited the holy land of Lake Biwa again. This time, I had only one goal: to catch a 50-plus fish.

J-B-J
JBJ remake shirts


John's Soul.
Speaking of military shirts, John Lennon was a preacher of love and peace. In the early 1970s, while the Vietnam War was still going on, he dared to incorporate military uniforms into fashion as an expression of the peace movement, and frequently wore them to concerts and other events. JBJ's remake shirts pay homage to John's thoughts. Based on an old American military utility shirt, the words of the famous song "IMAGINE" are embroidered on the right chest, and other messages such as peace marks, flower patterns, "MAKE LOVE" and "NO WAR" are carefully embroidered by hand. Dressing up and expressing one's individuality is fashion, but expressing one's principles is also an important role of fashion. As a side note, the performance "Bed-in" by John and Yoko was held at the Amsterdam Hilton Hotel in the Netherlands. JBJ is also a brand from Amsterdam. I was also attracted by such affinity.

BOW WOW
Bau Wow cut-off sweatshirt

This is not a vintage clothing .......
I have been away from processed clothes for a while, but when I saw this sweatshirt by "Bau Wow", I was moved by it for the first time in a long time. The sleeves are boldly cut off, and pinholes can be seen in places. The body has a good feeling due to dirt and fading, and the impression at a glance is that of completely old clothes. In particular, the discoloration of the "JOHN" print on the left is of such superb quality that it could be mistaken for old clothing even when seen recently. The texture of the rags is so natural. I was surprised to see how far the technology had evolved while I had not seen processed items for a while. The prints are of John and the Beatles, and the size is large, and the brand's unique arrangement, which is not found in vintage clothing, is also a delight. As with the remakes I mentioned above, I'm in the mood for clothes with a rustic texture like this these days.

DOKKOI BEAT CLUB
Dokoi Beat Club T-shirts and bandanas

A stripped-down DIY feel!
It all started when I saw it on the "Minnano" website. It was a luxurious silk-screen printed bandana with motifs from hippies, rock, hip-hop, cult movies, etc. I was amazed at how many editions they used. I was amazed. I checked the brand name and found it to be "DOKKOI BEAT CLUB. Since then, this strong brand name has been stuck in my mind and has been bothering me ever since. A friend of mine introduced me to Dokkoi-san the other day, saying, "I'm sure we have the same taste! I was introduced to Dokkoi by a friend of mine who said, "I'm sure we have the same taste! As expected, he has a deep knowledge of various cultures, and I became even more interested in Dockoy's creativity. The T-shirt in the photo was inspired by a sweatshirt worn by the king of city pop, Mr. TY, in an interview with a music magazine in 1980. Printed on the T-shirt are the famous synthesizers of the time. It's a bit of a dig at the mania and digginess of the people in the know. The hand-printed texture also has a DIY feel to it. The illustrations have a great sense of style, so if you're at all interested, please take a look at their Instagram!

RED WING
Red Wing 6" Classic Moc and Zipper Unit

Taste change with zipper.
I have been on a Red Wing craze for some time now, but since last year, I have been wearing them a lot. Among them, the "6-inch Classic Moc" is doing well. I don't feel like reintroducing this model, which is synonymous with work boots and is probably well-known to everyone, so I'll introduce my favorite way to wear them. It's the zipper boot version. The leather zipper unit, which is sold separately at the official store, is attached to the boots, and it eliminates the hassle of taking the boots on and off, making them very convenient. You can easily wear them as if they were sneakers. When I think of zipper boots, I think of jungle boots or fireman boots, but surprisingly there are no moc-toe zipper boots. I like the unusual look of these boots, and the gray suede with D-whiz is also a good fit.

GLOBE SPECS
Globe Specs Sunglasses

The end of the journey, the beginning of summer.
One thing that is essential in the summer is a pair of sunglasses. For the past few years, I have had a hard time finding ones that fit my face, so I have been borrowing my wife's or using the ones she gave me. I tried on a pair of sunglasses at a store and found that they were just right! I tried on a pair at the store, but the shape and size of the frames just didn't feel right. It was a different feeling from choosing clothes. I was in such a situation when I came across an original model by "Globespecs," a pair of glasses based on the glasses issued to soldiers by the U.S. military from the 1940s to the 1970s. The frame is a rather small Boston shape. The lenses are a slightly translucent, almost black gray, and the studs on the ends of the frames and temples add a nice accent. The long journey of searching for sunglasses ended with the purchase of these sunglasses. I would like to enjoy my sunglasses life as much as I can during the summer.

FOSTEX M.C.D.
MA-1 by Fostex M.C.D.


Fill the closet.
For the past few years, the MA-1 has been my go-to outerwear. I like the mature military-derived shape and the versatility to fit in with a wide range of casual styles. The other day I looked in my closet and found five MA-1s (laugh). I love flight jackets, but they have a weak point: once spring ends, they are too hot to wear. I guess winter is the main season for them. This time, Fostex M.C.D. has released an MA-1 that solves this complaint. The key point is that the specifications have been changed and the padding has been removed. The lining, which used to be polyester, is now made of polyester and viscose, making it thicker and more supple. Perhaps because of this, it is hard to tell at a glance that the padding has been removed. The body has been given a vintage finish, giving it a familiar look and feel from the start. In addition to navy, black, khaki, and burgundy are also available. Now you can enjoy it longer. There will be even more MA-1s in your closet.

CDG
CDG T-shirts

Black and white.
This year's GW was like early summer. Because of the fine weather, I didn't need a jacket every day. I pulled out T-shirts that I had stored in the wardrobe and wore them. When I looked again at what kind of T-shirts I had, I found that they were all large in size. I think it is because I used to prefer wearing loose-fitting T-shirts, but recently I have been feeling more inclined to wear T-shirts that fit me more snugly, so it is time to review my T-shirt lineup. With this in mind, I found this collaboration T-shirt with "Bearbrick" at CDG. The black and white graphics are impressive, and I think I could easily wear it alone. The black one is a long T-shirt with a longer back hem than the front hem. It's hard to decide which one to choose, but I think I'm in the mood for the long T.

PICTURES FOR PURPOSE
Photo of Jamie Hawkesworth

A new form of support.
I was browsing Instagram and one of the Stories caught my eye. The post was a fashion photo, tagged with an unfamiliar account. Curious, I tapped on it and jumped to the Pictures for Purpose website. The "about" section clearly stated that it was a foundation that sells prints by famous photographers online for 125 euros each and donates the proceeds to help solve pressing social issues. The timing of my check was to support Ukraine, and the sale was limited to March 10-24; 45 photographers were on the list. Among those I purchased was the work of Jamie Hawksworth. I was very impressed with his solo exhibition at Taka Ishii Gallery a few years ago and wanted to purchase his photographs if I had the chance someday. I was worried about whether I would receive them since I ordered them from an overseas website, but they arrived safely in mid-April. The frames I requested from "Zimpla" in Ebisu have finally arrived, so I am going to hang them in my house. By the way, the size of the print is 20 x 30 cm and it is not signed by the artist. I would like to use "Pictures for Purpose" again in the future if I have the chance.

Marfa by Kazuhiko Fujita
Yates T-shirts


Set with up-coming music.
Of course it's great to see your favorite artists live, but one of the best parts of a live concert or party is seeing artists you didn't know live and delving into various aspects of them from there. That is why I feel it is also very important to know if the event is being held by someone you trust. Mr. Fujita of "Marfa by Kazuhiko Fujita," a silk-screening company that produces items with highly original designs, has an uncommon antenna for music and movies. Fujita, who always has something new to share with us, has teamed up with Ebisu's BATICA to present "Yates," a party featuring up-and-coming artists. The T-shirts released exclusively at the venue are priced very low because of the admission fee (and the admission fee is a crazy easy price to get in), and that kind of spirit is also very appealing. The party and the T-shirts make me want to make sure that I, too, can drop my money as much as possible to people I know face to face.

Chaos On Parade
Chaos on Parade T-shirts


Someday, play will be the thing.
When I first saw his name, I thought to myself, "What a name..." DJ Harashima "Doshinchu" Chuho. I remember the first time I met him was when I visited "Doshinchu Radio," which bears his name, or when I was introduced to him by a respected rapper. The T-shirts and sweatshirts with "So I'm Your Friend" written on them that he always wears are the first single "Goodfellas" released by Chaos On Parade, the band he belongs to, in February of this year to commemorate their 20th anniversary. The hook of the first single "Goodfellas / Kurumadokara" released by Chaos On Parade in February of this year was translated into English as "Yes, I'm Your Friend. It is a great message, as I too have friends including Mr. Yoshida and Frb a.k.a. Furaibo, who I literally got to know thanks to Mr. Soroyo. The other day at "Maguma" in Shimokitazawa, the master of Musashino was there to celebrate, and when Mr. Masuda of SUMMIT DJed "ROMANTIK CITY" from "BACK CITY BLUES," Mr. Soriyoshi made a comment. We hope you will come and enjoy the party with Chuho-san, who connects sounds and people.

KANGOL
504 in Kangol

Manner of wearing in a live music club.
I think that the size of a person's T-shirt or pants, or the way a cap's brim is bent, can give an indication of what kind of things and things that person likes, and I think that KANGOL's hunting caps are one of the items where this can be clearly seen. The way I was influenced by "KANGOL" was from the people in the 100% hardcore band. It is my own interpretation, but first, instead of the brand's standard colors such as black, red, and gray, I choose slightly different colors that are released every season, such as purple, saxe blue, and lime. Then, just put it on straight in the front, not backward or at an angle, but a little deeper. In the coming season, it is manner to match with not only T-shirts and shirts but also football game shirts, and since they are reasonably priced, it is recommended to buy more every year to have more variations. Although the brand may not recommend it, I personally like the fact that it can be roughly handled by putting it in a net and washing it with a gun if you are worried about sweat or other stains.

Riverside Reading Club
Riverside Reading Club mini tote bag

Values are formed by knowledge and experience.
As an editor, it is very important for me to read a variety of texts, but if I am asked if I read a book every day, I routinely do not open the books in my bag. The Riverside Reading Club, a well-known group of readers, is a group of people who can help me straighten out my ill-informed mind. Sometimes they read novels as if they were listening to Rap music, and other times they pick up maniacal words as if they were poking around in a corner of a heavy box and broaden their world. People I admire in cities that give off an atmosphere that is a little difficult to approach are very knowledgeable when I dare to talk to them, and one of the reasons for this is that they read a variety of books and listen to a variety of music. One of the reasons for this is that they have read many books and listened to many kinds of music. It's great to naturally exchange conversations like "Fat is an interesting book," just like when you talk about "Fat" at a club or bar. When I purchased this mini tote bag, I received a book recommendation enclosed with the message, and I will continue to check out books recommended by the Riverside Reading Club.

Armor-lux
Almoluxe Striped Shirt

Nice salty border.
When one thinks of French border shirts, several brands come to mind. One of them, Almoluxe, has opened a directly managed store in Nakameguro. The store, with its wide use of space, is comfortable and looks like it will be loved by the locals. And above all, I was very pleased with some of the items planned for the Japanese market. The width of the body is wider than usual. And a shallow neckline. This is a very rare combination. Personally, when I think of "France" and "border shirts," I think of Charlotte Gainsbourg's style. However, if you choose a size that falls as far as her shoulders, the neck will be too open. And since I am skinny, it makes me look rather poor.... But these two are fine. The wide range of sizes from 1 (XXS) to 7 (XXL) is also good, depending on the item. A certain border shirt that becomes crispy when worn is also very tasteful, but the smooth feel of "Armoluxe" is also very mature and in my mood right now.

DEADBEAT CLUB
Deadbeat Club T-shirts


Independent means.
It is very difficult to remain independent. Moreover, it is not easy to continue to do so for a long time. For this reason, I am somewhat inclined to support them. One such indipendent is "Deadbeat Club," a Los Angeles-based company that releases photo books. In addition to photo books, they also try their hand at coffee, and their T-shirts and other goods are cute, too. The T-shirts have a nostalgic look with a tight neckline and illustrations by Stefan Marx. The balance of the two is so good that I ended up buying one at "Salt and Pepper". Not only buying books, but also this kind of support means. By the way, I just checked the mail order page and found that it is sold out.... Maybe they will go back in.

SAWAYA MATSUMOTO × (THISIS) SHIZEN ID1314
Sawaya Matsumoto x Dis is Sizen Sake

No technology is better than raw materials.
When I picked up this sake, it said so. I really believe this to be true. No matter how many bad ingredients you mix up, in the end, they will never be as good as good ingredients. This sake is an original sake of "Dis is Sizen" located in Shinpukan, Kyoto, and was made in collaboration with "Sawaya Matsumoto" in Kyoto. Sawaya-Matsumoto" has several sake brands with "ID", which represents the number of rice paddies. The IDs represent the number of the rice fields, and each rice field has its own unique characteristics, and this "Moribari ID1314" is the original "Dis is Shizen". Putting that preamble aside, the taste is just delicious. The sweetness of the rice spreads softly while the clean and lean mouthfeel has no peculiarities, and it literally goes down smoothly. Natur wine is good, but sake is also good. I want my very own rice paddy.

YUQRI
Yukri socks

Can be worn in summer.
I already wear them, but I will be wearing shorts most of the time in the coming season. Sometimes I wear sandals with them, and sometimes sneakers. So, I always wonder what socks to wear with sneakers. I don't think there are many socks with just the right amount of looseness. These socks are from a brand called "Yukuri," which debuted last year. Until now, only white, black, and gray socks were available, but these new ones, with a hint of color on the cuff, are quite nice. I picked them up because I was curious about their soft texture, but in fact, this brand has excellent antibacterial, deodorant, and antimicrobial properties. The deodorant rate is 70% within 5 minutes of wearing, 99% in 30 minutes, and the effect does not decrease even after 50 washes. Amazing. The full-scale rollout will likely be in June, so be sure to place your pre-order from the website. I think it will be very useful in the summer. I think it would also make a great gift. I want one week's supply.
