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.

Details that stimulate a man's heart, hidden in a classic.

Maple" is popular as an original brand of "Slow Tempo. Onodera's life-size + α view of the world, which takes the form of what he simply wants to wear, is exactly what one can feel in the air in Komazawa. A classical visual coat made of domestic recycled wool material has a playful silhouette that can be changed with a drawcord at the cuffs. By tightening the drawcord, you can customize the silhouette of the coat to your liking, and this detail also prevents wind from entering the coat, making it highly thermal resistant.

The collar is stitched in tone-on-tone navy, reproducing the stitchwork of G-1s. As the saying goes, "God is in the details. The slits make it easy to walk in the long length, and the chinstrap provides extra protection from the cold. This coat may look classic, but it is functional and relaxing, and is one that you will want to keep in your wardrobe for a long time.
