Slow Tempo and Komazawa.
With two brands of outerwear,
Winter preparations made in the city.

About 5 km west of Shibuya, a 10-minute ride on the Tokyu Denentoshi Line takes you to the select store SLOW TEMPO. Although Komazawa is close to the heart of the city, one alleyway off the main street will take you to an old-fashioned atmosphere, and Komazawa Park, the symbol of the city, is an urban oasis with a mellow atmosphere. Slow Tempo, a local Komazawa shop, offers two brands, "UBR" and "maple," to get you ready for winter. The style of the store, which is rooted in the local community, suits Komazawa, the city in which it is located.

. while being aware of the trend, but not following the trend.

Uber, from Norway, was launched in 2009 under the concept of "outdoor technology" and "city tailoring. The owner, Mr. Onodera, found this brand in a store in Berlin and brought it to Japan around 2011. The 7030 model here was modified for Japanese specifications last year, with drop shoulders and a slightly loose silhouette. It comes with a story of how Mr. Onodera went all the way to Norway and instructed the pattern maker directly to construct the garment.

The outer fabric is made of a regulator-laminated 4-way stretch material that boasts a water pressure resistance of 20.000mm & a moisture permeability of 20.000g/24h and is completely waterproof. As the brand was born in Norway, Scandinavia, the magnetic front placket provides stress-free comfort when wearing gloves, etc. . The shape has been updated in consideration of the trend, but is not an exaggeratedly big silhouette, but a "just right" size. The 7030 model is just right for Komazawa, a city that is both central and tranquil.
