PERS PROJECTS
Parsing Project Setup
Summer Setups. Setups in summer too.
The office where the Reito beam explodes into the right half of my body. If this continues, by the end of summer, my facial muscles will be completely shut down. I don't like being hot, but being too cold is dangerous, too. . so I've been keeping my antennae up for my favorite setups, even in the summer. This one was released in early spring, but because it is tailored in shirt fabric, it is light and comfortable, perfect for this time of year when the air conditioning is on full blast. The former designer of [Curly] is in charge of this brand, and his choice of materials and pattern-making are impeccable. Arms and legs are easy to move around in without any stretchiness, and the fact that they can be easily washed at home is another point that makes them easy to keep on hand. Moreover, the bottom is a pair of cargo pants, so it can easily be used as a stand-alone item. Such a set-up at such a reasonable price is very effective.

Desmond of Kearney
An austere one that really was.
It was an early morning just the other day. I woke up before the sky began to turn white , and my T-shirt was drenched in sweat. . Along with the discomfort was an unpleasant feeling that came over me. I opened the curtains, and what blew in was the muffled heat that seemed to cling to my body. Yes, it was midsummer, which had finally arrived. I'm not a fan of jittery heat, rather than spine-chilling stories. It's hot, it's tiring, and it makes me sweat . . that's the work of the sun and the humidity. I can't compete with the latter, but I have sunglasses for the former. For the past few years, I have been using sunglasses with dark lenses that do not show through my eyes, but this year, I am in the mood for light lenses. Among them, those by Kearney, with their thick clear brown frames and blue lenses, have a smoldering silver look. Nevertheless, the cool, transparent frames can easily accommodate the changing skin tone of sunburned people. It's the perfect way to get rid of the heat.

OUTLAND
Outland Body Bags
Packing what-so-ever.
I hate summer anyway. The summers we see in movies and cartoons seem so bright and shiny, but in reality, they are miserable and miserable. It's hot, tiring, sweaty, and fashion is kind of difficult. . No, but I think that's why we can play with accessories in summer. Wearing sunglasses, using a hand towel, carrying a water bottle, it's almost like adding more equipment in an RPG. This body bag from "Outland" has a storage pouch on the side, can be jointed with a backpack (sold separately), and has many other details that stimulate the desire to play with accessories. The parts in various places are in a toy-like mood, which also tickles the heart. Pack light, take this body bag with you, and head out the door. . and eventually, out of sight, out of mind.

APOTHEKE FRAGRANCE
Apotheke Fragrance Hand Spray
Super Sanitize Me.
A spritz here, a spritz there, an alcohol gel there . It can't be helped, but if I disinfect my hands so often, I think my palm will change as well. But that aside, I don't like the sprays in stores that smell of alcohol, so recently I have been carrying this "Apotheke Fragrance" hand spray with me. My favorite is ANJIR, which is based on figs, and there is also MAGHREB BUKHOOR, which is woodsy, and MOSS SWAMP, which has a fresh green scent, and they all have a clean scent that is not too harsh. Disinfecting your hands + smelling good is a healthy habit. With this, I feel even my lifeline will grow.

Flus Basket Polo
. clothing that complies.
I believe that "Furus'" clothes are only effective when they are worn on a person's body form, when they let the color of the skin show through, and when they are worn with other clothes. Most of the clothes in the world are made in this way, but there are not many brands that are able to achieve harmony with both people and other clothes. Furus' ideas are unique, and I think that's why I'd like to introduce them to you. Among the 22SS collection, this polo shirt caught my attention. It is made of a yarn containing Japanese paper, so it is light and crisp, and even when it rubs against your skin in summer, it feels nice and smooth. The choice of terracotta, a deep brown, instead of white or a light color, is also very chic. Above all, there is a rough lattice-like window on the chest. The hand-knit design gives the garment a basket-like appearance. If a colored or printed T-shirt or T-shirt is used as an inner layer, a different look can be brought out. This is a piece that reminds us once again of the obvious fact that clothes are not complete on their own.

reel
Reel belt
Wound up in age.
When I was in college with no money, I used to wear my shoelaces as a belt. I was proud to strut around campus as if that was cool, but that was only because I had the backing of being a college student. What I'm trying to say is that I had to look like an adult when I entered the workforce, and I had to look for a proper belt. I turned to Reel. The brand is exploring the possibilities of leather, mainly for fabrics and bags, but also for slippers, bookmarks, and other items. There are 7 or 8 kinds of belts in the store, and each one is different in thickness, type of leather, leather finish, and metal fittings, making them interesting. They dare not choose metal fittings with shiny surfaces, and instead select subdued ones. Therefore, no matter whether a person is 23 or 56 years old, it will fit around his or her waist. Well, it seems that dressing like an adult is not as bad as one might think.

THERIACA
Teriaka Lemon Net Bag
Summer is the summer of transparency.
There are many ways to keep cool in the summer, but when it comes to fashion, I wear transparent clothing. The key is "transparent," and I don't like to just wear something with a small area of fabric.... When the temperature is about to go up to 38 degrees Celsius, I rely on it, but when the temperature is around 32 degrees Celsius, it is a bit too simple. That's where the see-through items come in. This summer, I was particularly taken with the bags from TERIACA. The idea was based on individual lemons sold in supermarkets. The bags are hand-knitted using a tubular yarn called "TUBE," which was jointly developed with the long-established yarn brand "DARUMA. It feels like shirataki (Japanese white radish) or sea grapes, but it also has a slightly different feel to it, something I have never felt before. The fact that the shape of the bag is affected by the shape of what you put inside is also endearing. When you carry it on your back, you can see your skin through it, and the wind blows through it, making it perfectly cool. It's nice to see a glimpse of something that is usually hidden, like a celebrity in an off-shot.

Bensan-D Rear Upper Side Tongue on Bench
Bensan's real intention.
The reason for this sense of déjà vu is, I'm sure, that they are based on the motif of snow geta (Japanese clogs). However, the sandals are slightly different because the nose strap has been rotated 90 degrees and is attached to the side. This idea alone made me fall in love with these sandals, but what is even more remarkable is how comfortable they are to wear. The leather is filled with resilient and voluminous padding that fits your feet comfortably, and the sole is made by the reliable VIBRAM company, making these sandals a sandal that will make you want to take one step after another. Bensan of Bench, which is well known for its affordable prices, made a pair for less than 20,000 yen because they wanted to pursue ease of wear and attention to design, even if they had to raise the price that much. I'm numb. I think this pair of sandals will be a good fit for HOUYHNHNM readers who have already worn a lot of sandals.

Dream sequence.
The other day, I went to a 2-man show by KID FRESINO and ISSUGI. Both of them are my favorite rappers, and of course all the songs were cool without any complaints, but the moment when ISSUGI, JJJ, and 5lack came together for "Bitter Dose" was unforgettable. It was like a dream, and I am still reeling from the aftermath.

John Smedley polo shirts
Polyvalent border.
I have tried on many polo shirts from [John Smedley] many times, but I have never been able to buy one. I think it has a lot to do with my body shape, face, and other factors, but I just can't seem to wear them the way I want to. However, the border version of the iconic "ISIS" model, which was newly introduced this summer, made me think, "This could work. Plain colors tend to be too tight, but thanks to the stripes, it can be worn in a rough style. The silhouette is a roomy, easy fit, so it can be worn on the street as well, depending on how you match it with other items. So, this knit polo will liven up your summer style, which is getting boring with all the T-shirts.

Metro Hat from Ginza Toraya Hat Shop
My Standard.
. I wear a hat almost every day, regardless of the season. However, I don't have that many hats, but rather, I tend to keep using my favorite ones. Among them, the Metro Hat from Toraya Hat Shop in Ginza has the highest percentage of use. I love it too much,White introduced last time. I got a new one in charcoal gray following the first one. The shape is perfect in every way, including the width of the brim and the depth of the hat, and the color and texture of the fabric are wonderful, giving it a used look from the moment you hold it in your hands. Both white and charcoal gray are easy to match with any style, and I highly recommend buying two colors. By the way, the other day I went to an outdoor festival. After spending two days without a hat, I got sunburned and my scalp started to peel. . I strongly felt that a hat in summer is very important when I was shaving my head.

THE INTERNATIONAL IMAGES COLLECTION
T-shirts from The International Images Collection
Photo T's Seriousness.
American photographer Frank Worth has captured many greats in his photographs, including James Dean, Frank Sinatra, and Jackie Robinson. The International Images Collection" is a collection of his photographs on T-shirts. The brand was born out of a partnership with INTERNATIONAL IMAGES, a Los Angeles-based company that owns a collection of artwork and negative films by famous photographers, and the appeal of this brand is that it allows photographs that would normally be difficult to incorporate into clothing to be used with official permission. The ink used in the prints is mixed for each artwork, and each piece is then hand-printed in Japan by skilled craftsmen using a 4-print silkscreen process to faithfully reproduce the texture of the original. . These are Elizabeth Taylor from the movie "Giants" and Marilyn Monroe from "Seven Year Affair. If you are going to wear a photo T, you want to choose one that you are particular about.

Nigel Kevon sandals
I want to entrust my feet to them this summer.
The world-famous "Horween" company. These sandals by Nigel Kevon caught my attention because of the leather used in them. A special blend of oils and fats is slowly absorbed into the leather to give it a deep, rich look, but that's not the end of the charm of these sandals. You can tell when you try them on, but they have a hefty weight to them. At first glance, this may seem like a minus for a sandal, but it's a good thing. Sandals that are too light can slip off or fly off when you are walking, but if they are this sturdy, you don't have to worry about that, and you can feel that they are holding your feet in place. The sandal mold itself seems to have been designed using the latest engineering techniques, adding to the excellent comfort. . The look and functionality of this pair is beyond reproach.

Rough and tumble.
For the first time in my life, I ran in a trail run race. I chose the 24 km short division, but it had been raining the night before and during the middle of the race, so the ground conditions were terrible. I remember stopping several times at two spots on the course that were so hard that I thought, "I'm going to have to climb this ⁉︎." . However, looking back, it is a good memory. . So, this weekend, I am going to the Central Alps.
CASE STUDIES
Case Study Setup
Debutantes are just starting out.
When asked, "Which up-and-coming brand interests you the most right now? the first brand that comes to mind is "Case Study," which debuted this season. Their concept is to "think about the future of clothing with unexpected ideas," and their clothes are full of items that are comfortable to wear and surprising to know. The set-up shown here is just such a case in point. The shirt, which is refreshing to look at, has a round cut so it can be worn as outerwear, and the wide pants with darts below the knees create a three-dimensional silhouette that does not interfere with your movement. So, what is it that you are surprised to know . Actually, the material used for this item is a plain polyester poplin. By printing a stripe pattern on it, the illusion of a striped fabric is created. The same technique is also used to express denim and tweed textures in some of the garments, which are available at launch and on sale.ECAlso take a peek at the

Speaking of shorts!
Battenwear is a brand that attracts surfers, outdoor freaks, and made-in-USA enthusiasts. They have developed a wide range of functional daily wear with "travel" in the background, and one of my favorite items are the shorts that appear in a wide variety of variations as summer approaches. This season I picked up the "Local Shorts," which can be said to be a major staple of their lineup. . What's best is the summer corduroy with a subtle sheen. The thin, soft fabric feels good against the skin, and the fine ridges give the shorts a casual yet elegant look. The front and back pockets, as well as the zipper pocket, make this an item that can be enjoyed on active occasions. . Because of its short length, we would like to enjoy a relaxed summer style with a big top and sandals on the feet.

This one looks good too.
Next, we have shorts. In contrast to the previous short shorts, these shorts have a wide silhouette with a super-long length. The main fabric is an original sweatshirt fabric, which is thick yet soft and comfortable to wear. The large patch pockets with flaps are a design accent and at the same time help you go out light. KEBOZU's tops with a big logo on them are popular, but personally, I am also interested in their bottoms with a smaller logo. All of the designs capture the current atmosphere, and the friendly price range is also very appealing.

Natsukoshi purification.
It has been a while now that I seem to have a somewhat bad luck luck. Fortune-telling ... just doesn't suit my mood, so after the exhibition, I went to Kinno-Hachiman Shrine to go through the thatch ring at the shrine, as it was just on June 30. This is a Shinto summer tradition where people go through a large shimenawa rope to pray and use dolls to purify themselves of evil spirits. After the ceremony, one feels a little relaxed. The thatch ring will be in place until around the first week of July, so if you are having bad luck, give it a try.

Handsome Diner T-Shirt
To Thailand , 40 minutes by train.
It seems that Okinawa is the most popular travel destination nowadays. The reason for this is that people want to feel like they are in a foreign country. I can understand that. My body needs that unique atmosphere. Then I remembered "Handsome Diner". It's not that I forgot about it, but its location in Nishiogikubo is a bit far for me, and I had been thinking of going there, but never got around to it.... However, the overwhelming Southeast Asian atmosphere of this restaurant is different from other Thai restaurants. The narrow alleyway, outdoor seating, mysterious souvenir-like items lined up everywhere, and the exquisite food served on colorful, cheap-looking plates... . . Mmmm, this is Thailand. . The episode that "andymori" was formed here is also a nice touch. If you go, definitely go at night. . My favorite dish is the Noa Yaan, which is beef tenderloin. It's been a while since I visited here, and I bought an original souvenir T. There are many colors to choose from. There are many colors to choose from, and Thai language versions are also available.

Table Planter Dune
Not dessert , dune.
. I have long been reminded of the desert of Dubai, where I visited one day. Riding along the endless red sand hills in a Toyota Land Cruiser, a small campsite with a carpet spread out before you. There, you can ride a camel, eat grilled meat, and smoke water cigarettes. I didn't need to experience such things, just the heated, exposed sand and the ultraviolet rays that burned my skin, and my brain was in the best dizzy. When I told such a story to a writer, he said that the desert I was looking for was more dune than desert. Well, as I see it, my desire for the desert is to walk barefoot on a hill of hot, soft sand, rather than on the ground that is covered with hard, flaky sand. . and I was reminded of this when I saw the name of this cactus pot on display at "Lost and Found. The sand on the floor is a decorative sand called "Bonarth" developed by "Nikko," a company that handles tableware for hotels throughout Japan. It is an eco-friendly product made of carefully crushed bone china from Nikko. It can also be used as a fertilizer by mixing it into the soil. Since it is unlikely that I will be able to find dune for a while yet, I will spend my time looking at this white desert.

Nice spirit, "something that makes you feel good while focusing on lightness" . I would like to visit there, but unlike Yamanashi and Shizuoka, where I can go camping easily, I have to be a little more adventurous in the Kansai area. If I ever get the chance to visit there, I have been thinking of getting this chair cover as a souvenir. It is a collaboration with "Redad," a company that specializes in remakes, and is an upcycled item made by piecing together fabric items from outdoor brands. The brand's logo can be seen here and there, which is very exciting. The crazy pattern of different materials makes it fun to the touch. This is certainly not a lightweight item, but it is something that will make you feel good.
