Yes, Ine, let's go.
While on a business trip to Kyoto, I drove to the northern part of Kyoto.Boathouse in IneI went on a solo trip to The clear emerald green sea and calm waves. I didn't do anything, but just gazed at the sea in a daze. But that was enough to cleanse my mind and reset my emotions. I recommend this trip for a summer trip.





KOOKY ZOO
Cookee Zoo Denim Pants

Back to Juvenile.
Denim that looks like kids' clothes made big and light. The design is based on the motif of kids' size denim from the 1960s, and the size up is just as it was. Everything from the buttons and rivets to the labels and sewing threads are enlarged with a mischievous air. It's a very good touch. The design is a joke, but the wide red ears and the 42-talon zips are all reproduced in a way that will make even vintage freaks go "wow". It looks ordinary, but it is not ordinary at all. They tickle the almost-forgotten childish spirit of "playing hard to get" without mercy. This denim is one such pair from "Cookey Zoo.

SHOETREE
Shoe Tree Shoe Tree

A single thought of moss can pass through a rock.
Sneakers that have become obsolete due to age-related deterioration. The brand "Shoetree" offers a helping hand to those who would normally be put out of business. The brand advocates the "justification of deterioration," and makes good use of the aging process to create a new work of art. The dried moss on the sole and paulownia wood boards on the base are for reinforcement, and together they give the sneaker a dignified look that could have appeared in the movie "Laputa. The sneakers could stand on their own, but the addition of the plants makes them look even more incongruous, creating a mysterious worldview. Sneakers, which are the natural enemy of moisture, and plants, which love moisture. The two opposites are combined and take on a new role. Perhaps this is the essence of what it means to be sustainable. This is what sustainability is all about, isn't it?

Seagreen
Sea Green's Big Waffle Zip Hoodie

I want to blame it on summer and float away.
There's something about a zip hoodie. It has less of a hip-hop flavor than a pullover, it's easy to use with just a zip running down the middle, and it has a somewhat geeky vibe to it. I like that kind of shady look. The Big Waffle, a house specialty of [Sea Green], has large individual meshes, and despite its simple appearance, it has a cozy air about it. In addition, they are soft and fluffy. The new pale tones, as well as basic colors such as gray and black, are also available, but I would like to try bright red for the summer. I'll wear it a little loose on my tanned skin, with a white T and bee-sans. You can probably expose it to the sun for a week or so to tan the body.

DECi
Desi leather accessories

A modern-day Edo child.
DECi" is a brand by a leather workshop in Asakusabashi, Tokyo, which was launched under the slogan of "protecting craftsmen and the town. Although the brand is rooted in the good old days of the Edo period, all of the items here are innovative products that will catch you by surprise. Whether it is a wine holder, a key ring with a familiar sneaker motif, or a cup holder (......), the modern approach and the craftsmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation mesh well together. Touch the moist and supple leather and fall in love with its charming appearance. I'm fascinated by such witty products without the stiffness and ruggedness that are often associated with leather.

Thursday, May 26
It is the day of this year's shorts ban. It is a delicate season with hints of summer and shadows of the rainy season flickering in the distance, but I have decided to go all out. Until last year, I had been stuck in the summer vacation schoolboy look, but this year, I'm aiming for a mature and sophisticated style. My strategy was to wear long socks and Michael or Clarks.





MARGARET HOWELL
Margaret Howell shirt linen

A classic product that leaves no stone unturned.
Pullover shirts are a common sight in this pre-summer season, but I would like to recommend this one from Margaret Howell. It is made of high quality linen, and feels great on the arms when walking, and has a dignified shape when it is blowing in the wind. I was particularly impressed with the balance of the neck. The collar is slightly compact in relation to the body, and the iridescent buttons are arranged vertically. It would be tempting to add a bit more bold skipper, but this too is understated. Even if you wear it with work pants or some other junky combination, this piece will keep its class. Even though it is black, it is not too black, and the way the light hits it makes it look slightly mottled, which is also elegant. It is cool in every direction, no matter where it is cut. I was able to reconfirm the excellence of "Margaret Howell" again with a standard item.

SLEEPY JONES
Sleepy Jones Milton pajama shirt and pants

Graduation Celebration.
I would like to ask everyone over 30 when they will stop wearing their junior high school jerseys as nightwear. I'm ashamed to admit that when I weigh the security of wearing pajamas against the stylishness of wearing pajamas, I tend to choose the former. But I heard that pajamas are also comfortable enough to help you sleep better. So I went to Sleepy Jones, a brand name that seemed trustworthy to me. These pajamas are made of cotton woven with fine threads to effectively dissipate night sweats for maximum comfort. The sewing is also ultra-fine French seams. The piping runs are supple, the color selection is thoughtful, and you will surely be enchanted just by storing it in your wardrobe. And it can be worn as street wear as well.... I've found so many items that I can't praise them enough, and I'm ready to graduate from jerseys. I'll just have to consult with my wallet and make a decision.

ROA
Loa Sneakers

A pair for extremely private tastes.
There is no better moment to feel sorry for yourself than when you have to wait for someone to fix a string. I am confident that I do it more often than others, and perhaps because of my poor grip (lack of strength), I am unable to tie the strings tightly and they come undone easily. I was attracted to these shoes partly because of this. I think most of these shoelace-less types have unreliable uppers, but these have crossed elastics that stretch and contract, so they fit well and are clean. The elastics are crossed, so the fit is clean and clean. And it is typical of Roa not to make it just a rugged treeshoe. It's urban, with white threads tracing a zigzagging form, blue stitching, yellow pull-backs, and an orange brand logo design. Yes, I think Roa is good at casualness at a level that only the wearer notices at a moment's notice, something to be savored in a very private way. This is a pair of shoes that can be worn on the street as well as on a demanding outdoor location. I would like to wear them and be on the waiting side from now on.

Coco Capitán
Coco Capitán Exhibition Merchandise

I found some goods that are not to be underestimated.
I am a frequent visitor to museums and galleries, but I have rarely bought exhibition goods. I think it is a common practice to buy them as a memento of having been there, or to buy them half-impulsively with the emotions aroused by seeing an exhibition, but I am selfish and prefer to buy things that attract me as objects... (apologies to all concerned). But I am a selfish person who prefers to buy things that attract me as objects... (sorry to all concerned). It was on sale at the "NAÏVY: in fifty (definitive) photographs" exhibition of photographer Coco Capitán, which was held at the "PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO" until the other day. The exhibition was based on the motif of "sailor uniforms" and featured a series of personal and beautiful photographs that looked like Capitán's diary. I felt that the goods, while taking the exhibition as their starting point, have gone to a new phase as objects without leaning too much on the exhibition. I was told that Kapitan's intentions were taken into consideration to the maximum extent possible. The pieces are simple, but you can feel the sea breeze in each of them, and the finish suits the summer sun. It feels good! The story about the material unun will be updated around the beginning of July.Online StoreI will leave it to the "Mere Old Man" to check out the goods section next time.

Keep your feet on the ground.
The other day I played futsal for the first time in a while. My self-assessment is no good. I have the play in my head from when I was active, but my body doesn't quite keep up. It is important to do my best within my ability. I was so frustrated with myself that I bought a soccer ball.





BoTT
bot open collar shirt

In summer, this is the only one.
I've been hearing the name "BOT" in various places lately, and the speed with which they debuted in 2019 and collaborated with Larry Clark in just three years is almost frightening. I don't usually wear logo items, but I can't help but be intrigued by their items. At first glance, the designs look catchy, but there is a sampling of the street style, and I like that you can see the designer's tastes and preferences. What caught my attention in the 22SS collection of "BOTT" was this open-necked shirt. The new "2Y LOGO" logo is all over the shirt, and the "O" is a yin-yang symbol, which is very stylish. The color scheme is also exquisite! In summer, you can complete your coordination by wearing just this one shirt and faded straight blue denim.

HEUGN
Jugen shorts

A modern classic.
I know shorts are comfortable in the summer, but I have a hard time wearing them. I personally don't like having shin hair showing and I feel like I'm turning into a bug boy. That is why I have always worn long pants. But with Jugen's "tim" shorts, I feel like I can wear them. Based on Scandinavian military shorts, the "tim" has both a vintage look and an elegant feel, without military-derived details such as cargo pockets. It has the feel of a modern classic. There is still the shin-hair problem, but it's so attractive that you'll want to forget about it and wear them.

C.P. COMPANY
CP Company pants

Inquiry into materials.
Each item name in the label indicates the material used. This means that the company places emphasis on the materials used in its manufacturing. The spirit of exploration that goes so far as to develop new fabrics on their own is what makes CP Company so special. Incidentally, these cargo pants use a material called "Flatt Nylon. It is a nylon fabric with an emery finish that gives the fabric the appearance of having been worn and washed repeatedly. In addition, the garment is dyed by garment dye, a technique that is one of the company's specialties, so there is no reason why it should not tickle a man's fancy. It is my nature to reach out for these products when I hear about the background of their manufacturing process.

FOOT THE COACHER
Foot the Coacher sandals

It is a perfect place to live.
It's sandal season again this year. I used to avoid wearing sandals because I thought they looked sloppy, but when I tried on a pair of bee-sans given to me last year by a senior member of the editorial department, I found that they fit me better than I had expected. Not only were they comfortable, but the skin on my feet was visible, which helped to balance out even the most formal outfits. So I think I will be wearing sandals heavily this summer as well. However, I found that beesandals rubbed against my noseband and made me tired after wearing them for a long time, so I thought I would try a change of style. That's when I found "OPEN TOE SANDALS" by FOOT THE COACHER. They combine the elegance of leather shoes with the relaxed feel of sandals, and the sole is made of Vibram's GLOXI CUT for a soft and comfortable fit. The word "perfect" is used to describe these sandals. They can be used outside of the summer months by wearing socks, so I plan to use them all year round.

adidas Originals
adidas Originals by Parley "FORUM MID PARLEY

Good design, good comfort, good for the environment.
The word "wellness" is one that we hear a lot about these days. It is roughly defined as "an attitude of living a better life," and it includes exercising through sports, getting in touch with nature outdoors, sweating it out in a sauna, and so on. Wellness" can be defined as a variety of activities that enhance one's lifestyle, and choosing sustainable products is one of these actions. This is because protecting the health of the environment is directly linked to the health of the mind. However, the criteria for selecting products should be design first. For those people, I would like to recommend the following,this way (direction close to the speaker or towards the speaker)The "adidas Originals by Parley" sneakers were also the focus of the "adidas Originals by Parley" collection. This collection is made by upcycling marine plastic waste and incorporating it into standard models. The design is basic and stylish, just like adidas Originals. But when you try them on, you will feel a little lighter on your feet and in your heart.

wenzday
Wensday sweatpants

Casual and elegant sweat pants.
I'm so addicted to sweatpants that I "introduce too many ⁉︎" in this section. This month, we have obtained another new pair. It is a pair from "Wend's Day," a brand that proposes a relaxed style based on the concept of "loungewear" that can be worn out on the town. As you can see, the silhouette is wide and tapered. This makes it possible to wear casual items such as sweatpants in a rough and elegant manner. The hems are cut off. The drawcord at the waist is extremely long, and I also like the details that seem to encourage a sense of casualness. I can relax at home, go to the convenience store, or in my case, go straight to work.

BLUFCAMP × BAYCREW'S DEPO
Bluff Camp x Bay Cruise Depot shirts

This is a retro-modern dress.
Have you heard about "Bloof Camp," which was launched in 2020? We learned about it from a BAYCREW'S press representative, who told us that the brand was launched mainly by people from the COMME des GARCONS brand. Contrary to the image created by this previous information, the items being developed are quite simple and have a nostalgic feel to them. The shirts we picked up here can be said to be just such items. This shirt, specially ordered by Bay Cruise Depot, incorporates the design printed on last season's scarf in an all-over pattern. The fabric with a sense of firmness conforms to your body as you wear it, and the roomy silhouette allows you to wear it without stress. This is a high quality yet rough piece that can be handled with ease. There are probably many people who are in the mood for something like this.

TETERA
Sauna Fur Robe in Teterra

It is still convenient to have.
Sauna is something you can enjoy with just your body. However, outdoor saunas are a different story. First of all, you will need a pair of shorts, sandals, and a sauna poncho or other outdoor bathing jacket to add to your outfit. I used to think, "Honestly, don't I need this kind of item? But there is a big difference between having these items and not having them. I was reminded of this when I put on the "Sauna Fur Robe" by Teterra. The fluffy comfort of the robe, as if you were wrapped in a blanket, gently dries your soaking wet body and helps you comfortably adjust your body temperature after a sauna or water bath. It is also a great solution to the common problem of outdoor saunas being unexpectedly cold during this season. It is also easy to care for, just throw it in the washing machine after use. The soft touch is maintained even after washing, so you can wear it after taking a bath at home without hesitation.

Just a hike.
In this month's issue of the Monthly Journal, we report on an outdoor store called "Nice Time Mountain Gallery. They are avid hikers, and they call it "just walking," meaning not aiming for the top in a straight line, but taking in the scenery, stopping to admire the sights, and walking slowly up the mountain. How excellent! I was suddenly interested in mountain climbing.

Flower Thief T-shirt

Mouse boy, selling flowers.
A neon sign in pink, green, and yellow lights up somewhere in Tokyo. Aromatic fragrance wafting faintly in the darkness. Dainty petals after they leave. Yes, he is the "flower thief. He is a mysterious street florist who sneaks around like a thief, selling flowers from his stall, and when the time comes, he runs away as if he were running away. The other day,The Camp" FREAK'S STORE in Furukawa City, Ibaraki Prefecture, has undergone a renewal.He was the one who was running the pop-up shop there. He is a funny guy, just like his fantastic business style, which reminds me of "Neko Ramen". The cup noodle arrangement on this T-shirt was more of a struggle to finish the contents than an idea. The "Flower Thief" is open at any time and place. Information on its appearance is available at any time and place,InstagramIf you happen to discover it, don't hesitate to visit.

AND WONDER fire pits

Between the mountains and the city.
And Wonder, which has been all about hiking and fashion, has finally created a collection of camping gear. I sense more and more momentum in the outdoors. I also thought it would be lightweight gear specialized for mountaineering, but when I looked at the look, I saw that the scene was the seaside. It is supposed to be for auto-camping. This was a rather unexpected development. However, if you think about it, the outdoors that AND WONDER refers to is somewhere between the city and the great outdoors, like Mount Takao, so the fire pit with its beautiful lines that looks comfortable to use is a perfect representation of the brand. The triangular pyramid-shaped fire pit is the best size for a couple of people to enjoy a fire with pots and pans. When disassembled, it is compact enough to be used by two people. The price is much more reasonable than the fire pit made in collaboration with Mono once upon a time.

Ramen Yangu x Blue Rag reflector

Sometimes I'm in the mood for more yangue than youth.
In the sea-washed town of Mishima, there is the sign for "Yangu" painted in dark red. If you remove the clutter and masculine smell of a ramen shop while trying not to destroy its form, you can create a store like this, can't you? The store is sometimes a ramen shop and sometimes a coffee shop, depending on the occasion. Many of the shops have collaborated with artists who draw gently wavy lines like noodles, and HOUYHNHNM's well-known artist Tomoe Miyazaki of Stomach Acme has often produced goods for the shop. This item is a collaboration reflector with "Blue Rag," the best bicycle shop in Tokyo, where young people also gather. While many of the designs are fluorescent or stoic, the shiny red ramen noodles that come to life are somewhat "yang" in appearance.

BROOKLYN WORKS
Brooklyn Works Mugs

New peripheral accessory gear.
Recently, there has been an increase in the number of outdoor brands that offer not just camping gear, but also other small, nifty accessories. While all of them are not bad, the more affordable ones tend to be military in taste, which I personally find not to my taste. The coloring and design of the mugs are very interior-oriented, and in a good sense, they are finished in a way that is less outdoorsy. The mugs are sold as a set of two, which is especially important. Personally, I often want to alternate between drinking sake and chaser, so I am glad that the mugs are stackable and come with a storage bag. The price is also very reasonable.
