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.

ITEM④_melple Monterey Fishermans Parka ¥46,200

Fisherman's parka by Maple ¥46,200, Maple fleece ¥22,000, vintage Levi's® 505 pants ¥8,800, other personal effects of the stylist

The British atmosphere is given form with a Tokyo flair.

This impressive piece has a beige color that creates a relaxed atmosphere typical of [Maple]. The recycled nylon material is processed with a fluorine-free salt shrink process to create a classic look. Sampling a certain British brand's fisherman's jacket, we added arrangements such as more pockets, lengthened the length, and added belts on the sleeves to give it a more classic look. The iridescent lining also has specifications that stimulate the heartstrings of vintage clothing lovers, and the setting sun of Komazawa accelerates the nostalgic view of the world.

The buttons follow the sampling original fisherman's jacket and are made from scratch. The upper and lower closure zips with leather straps allow easy movement even with gloved or numb hands. The clothes are trend-sensitive, yet not influenced by trends. As the name "Slow Tempo" suggests, this is the essence of "Maple" and is made into outerwear that you want to grow into your own color slowly and for a long time.
