Revenge swamp .
Netflix's "The GloryI'm swamped in the "The Swamp". All the characters are scary! I thought it would be just a droll revenge story, but it's not a story of good and evil, but a careful depiction of human karma that draws you deeper and deeper into the swamp. We are now at episode 11. How will it end in 6 more episodes? I want to put my work aside and watch it....

ALWAYTH training suit
Sin Shakajah.
. a certain sports brand jersey and a pair of kitty health sandals that were all the rage when I was in high school. Ever since I hated the Yankee fashion of unknown origin, I have been traumatized by the jersey set-up. . However, the jacket and pants from ALWAYTH are a nice combination of comfort and decency. Not to mention that they are lightweight and comfortable. The combination of gray and brown, the reflector on the edge of the front zip, and the fine detailing without a logo give the jacket the "ALWAYTH" look. To some people, it may look like just a nylon jersey, but to us, there is a big difference. There aren't many jerseys that make you want to wear boots or leather shoes instead of sandals.

Means Weil Field Parka
. in case of emergency.
. As long as they are daily wear, clothes are not costumes, but tools. This sentence in the tagline of "Means Weil" conveys a sense of consistency as a principle, and a sense of excitement like the beginning of a novel. Moreover, the words are not grandiose but smartly expressed, as is the case with this ECWCS motif garment. From the front, it's a field parka, but when you unzip the back, you'll find a sack cover made of Cuben Fiber, which is 15 times more durable than steel. As the saying goes, you can wear it over a backpack, or even let it peek out a bit. Besides, the body is made of cotton-like taslan yarn laminated with a special film, making it waterproof. It looks simple, but is highly functional. This is truly the pursuit of "beauty for use. If you read the tag line at the beginning of this article, you will understand the depth and magnificence of "Means Weil.

COMAKI GLASS
Komaki Kohei's glass
Glamorous glass.
I'm not a drinker, but still, sometimes I have a palate that wants to drink. . it could be a glass of wine or a beer that I received. . But I don't feel like drinking out of a regular glass. This glass, born in Shioyama, Yamanashi Prefecture, is twisted in a good way. Since they are carefully made by blowing glass, the thickness and form of each one is different and expressive. They are solid and stable, but the squishy shape reminds me of uneven flower buds, which makes me feel attached to them. . It's all part of the design that makes beer taste so good. Not only beer, but also wine, sake, and even juice look great when poured. It is a nice proportioned cup, so it goes with everything.

It is not corona , nor is it flu.
I had a fever of about 38-40 degrees for about 3 whole days, but it was not an epidemic either. Still, I was scared that the test only took about 15 minutes. And I didn't know that the flu doesn't show up in the results until a little while after the onset of the disease.
A LEATHER
A leather blouson
Suede is gentle.
Although I have a longing for smooth leather, I tend to pick up suede. It has just the right amount of carefreeness, and I like the way it gets fluffier and older as I use it. This trucker jacket from "A Leather," which was on display at a pop-up in Tokyo just the other day, has the word "Humongous" at the beginning of its name. The name means "ridiculously large" in Japanese, and it seems to mean that 1.5 times the usual amount of leather is used, resulting in a generous silhouette. The material used is thick yet soft cow suede. It is unlined and has a relaxed feel with fluffy shoulders, and the degree to which it is not too hard is just right for me.

LOWERCASE / GRAMICCI
Lowercase / Gramichi pants
You can go to the pool.
Recently , I have noticed something. . that is that nylon pants are convenient. Wind doesn't blow through them easily, rain is not a problem, and wrinkling is not a problem. I think they are positioned as outdoor, functional pants, but when I wear them around town, I even feel as if I am wearing them to spend a carefree time. These track pants, specially ordered by Lowercase for Gramichi, are made of an amphibious nylon material that can withstand chlorine. In other words, you can even go to the pool in them. . Of course, they are also windproof and water repellent. The silhouette is neither too thick nor too thin, so you will be able to wear them with elegance. For those who are traveling this time of year, this is the only pair of pants that will do the job. You can even go to the beach or pool.

IM MEN
I.M. Men's Backpack
Only with a zac cover.
I have my eye on a backpack. Especially black. . When I see a backpack that is basic but has a unique perspective that is a little off the beaten path, I can't help but want one. For example, this I.M. Men backpack. Until now, I had only been thinking of clothes that could be folded, but at first glance, I was struck by its unexpected approach. First of all, its appearance. It seems to be an urban version of a mountaineering sack cover, but it has a cool look that doesn't make you feel like you are wearing a sack cover. When you peel it off, you can see the main body made of an original mesh fabric developed by I.M.MEN, and this unexpectedness is also interesting. The weaving method used to add strength to areas that are subjected to heavy loads is typical of the technical "ISSEY MIYAKE" brand. It is good to let the contents show through as in spring and summer, but personally, I recommend the cover.

BURLAP OUTFITTER × EKAL
Burlap Outfitter x Ekal shirt
Clothes to wear.
This time of year is just not a good time to dress. The temperature varies from day to day, and it is almost impossible to find the right thing to wear. So, when it comes to what to do, my recent method of choice is to wear an extra piece of clothing. The criteria are clothes that are not thick , and somewhat wide. It should not be bulky when you take it off, and if it is big enough, you can wear a sweatshirt or something inside when it is cold. The shirt that Ekal ordered from Burlap Outfitter met these requirements. It is made of supplex nylon, so it is lightweight and easy to wash. Nylon is also said to be resistant to pollen, which is also a good thing from a pollen allergy standpoint. There is a slash pocket on the side, so you can put your phone there.

. I heard that the "tsou" is abbreviated as "zafa".
I finally watched the movie, THE FIRST SLAM DUNK! I spent a lot of time playing basketball when I was a student, and of course, I read the manga as well, so my memories of the characters and their plays often overlapped with my own, and my heart was tightened. And you can't feel that sense of realism in a TV broadcast or in a live game. Animation is amazing.
FOLL
Fol's Anorak
Modern clothes with tradition .
Another new line of clothing has been born, one that only "FOR" could have achieved. The first thing that should be mentioned is the dyeing method. The "basket dyeing" technique, one of the traditional tie-dyeing techniques of Kyoto, is used, and is characterized by its uneven and detailed patterns. I was told that Mr. Hirasawa, the designer, personally visited Kazuo Shigeno and Yasumasa Shigeno, traditional craftsmen, and managed to get their OK to produce the product. The light and techy touch of the nylon taffeta material, combined with the basket-dyed expression, gives a soft impression. However, it is the design of the two-sided balloon silhouette with a heavy zipper that allows the front to hang down that gives the garment its expression. Furthermore, the silhouette can be freely changed by tightening the spindles, a gimmick that is too good to be described as a mere anorak. We have seen the essence of "Fol" in this piece.

MEIAS
Maias Sweatshirt
Words are not enough knit.
MAYAS" has been making knitwear without hesitation, but I am embarrassed to say that I recently learned of its greatness. The quality of the materials and the meticulousness of the designs are obvious even without touching the knitwear. And the immeasurable attention to detail that is evident when you touch it. In my line of work, I often compare various kinds of clothes by touching them with my fingertips, but when it comes to "Mayas," I am not just flattered, but am in awe of its high level of quality. This season's release is made of silk 1001 TP10T yarn, fully plated with stretch yarn and knitted smooth. Thanks to this, it has a shiny and elegant finish even though it is a sweatshirt. When you put your sleeves on it, you will feel that it is moderately absorbing to your body, and anyone will surely be captivated by this sweatshirt. There is no other garment that I can't say enough about. There is a charm that cannot be captured in pictures and text, so please come to the store and experience it for yourself.

BATONER
Buttner's long sleeve T-shirt
Gathering the wind.
The thinner the borderline, the better. . I prefer thin borders to thick ones, whether it is for clothes or other things. Let me talk about clothes this time and recommend a border tee from the washable wool series that Buttner offers as a regular item every year. Even the wavy folds of the body have a beautiful bounce to them, and this is due to the knitted fabric. Wool is spun on a cotton spinning machine and knitted on a high-gauge knitting machine, which gives the fabric a drape, luster, and kickback. It is antibacterial, deodorant, and cool in summer. . As for the border, I can only say that the thinness of the stripes is great, nothing more, nothing less, just this thinness is very appealing. . I think the long ribbed sleeves are also a key point in making it not look too casual. . When spring comes, I want to wear it while impregnating the wind.

Biagne Studio Postcards
. not overbearing.
I buy postcards at museums with the intention of sending them to someone someday! I buy postcards at art museums with great enthusiasm, but to be honest, I don't use them, or rather, I find them difficult to use. Depending on the artwork depicted on the postcard, I worry that the recipient might find the postcard oddly meaningful. Then, I found a good one. It is a postcard created by "Bienvenue Studios," a design unit in Zurich, Switzerland, which sublimated the shapes of natural objects that impressed them into graphic design. The postcards come in a variety of shapes, including a bivalve shell, a stone, a plant seed, and a hornbill's beak, all boldly printed in an interesting way and with a pop coloring background. 600 yen per card is rather reasonable considering that it is a small gift. . I think I've found the perfect postcard solution. I think I have found the best solution for postcards.

Live Desire.
Just the other night, I went to a live performance of Arctic Monkeys. It was my first time seeing a band of that size live, and it was, well, amazing. When Alex Turner sang the first song, "Sculptures of Anything Goes," I got goosebumps and wondered what it meant to be a rock star. I knew I had to go to a live concert when I could. So, this year, I will spare no expense and go to see various live concerts.

Track Jacket & Pants by IZNESS
Soccer in fashion.
With the fever of the World Cup still lingering, I have been spending my weekends and evenings watching soccer games. The latest team to catch my attention is probably Brighton. Not only do they have Japan's national team player, Misuzu, but also coach De Zerbi's calculated soccer is beautiful. The game is currently being aired for free on abema, so even if you don't normally watch soccer, you should definitely check it out. I digress for a moment, but when you are so passionate about soccer, you want to incorporate some soccer elements into your fashion as well. However, I don't want to wear something with a strong message like uniforms, and sports brands are a bit cumbersome when it comes to matching. That's why the track jacket and pants from IZNESS are perfect for me. . As you can see, it is a simple design, but the lines extending from the shoulders are expressed in a different way of knitting, and the design is effective in small details. You can wear it as a set-up, but personally, I like to wear the track jacket with denim and enjoy the hooligan-like style.

I won't lose it this time.
I used to wear glasses because of my poor eyesight , and I used tothis columnand ... andYouTubeI used to use the one from "Lenoir," which I also introduced in the "Lenoir" video. In the video, I said I would always use these glasses, but I lost them around November of last year. After that, I managed to get by with contacts, but I realized that glasses were better suited for me. Glasses are something that define your character, and I thought it would be nice to have a switch that turns you on when you put them on and off when you take them off. It was at this time that I picked up this pair of glasses from "The BED j.w. FORD Hotel. The color is an exquisite antique gold, and the frame is slightly rounded and square. . It looks ordinary, but it is surprisingly hard to find. The Bedford Hotel is a brand of Kingstar, a factory owned by Megane Ichiba, and offers high-quality products at a relatively reasonable price. I am sure you will understand how great it is when you actually hold it in your hands.

BAGJACK FOR ELIMINATOR
Bag Jack for Eliminator
The best messenger bag .
I use a backpack for work, but I always carry it on one shoulder. . the reason being that carrying it on both shoulders instantly makes me look childish. . So, I was looking for a diagonal bag recently, and I came across the perfect one. . It was a collaboration between "Eliminator" and "Bag Jack. The two companies have worked hand in hand many times in the past, and this time they created a messenger bag in a size that has never been included in the "Bag Jack" inline before. We have never been able to find a messenger bag that is just the right size, but this one fits a 13-inch computer perfectly. It is neither too big nor too small. In addition, the fabric is made of X-PAC, which is waterproof and durable, and is literally great for riding a bike. Although it is a bit pricey, we feel that this one bag will solve all your bagging problems.

I am ashamed to admit that I had never worn "New Balance" before. I had heard from people around me how comfortable they were, and I liked the design, so I had no reason to avoid them, but for some reason I had always avoided them. But for some reason, I had always avoided wearing them. The first pair I made was the M1906RX. They are probably not the most popular shoe on the market, but I liked that the model name bears the year of the brand's founding and that the design is a fusion of classic and modern styles. Needless to say, the shoes are very comfortable, and thanks to the sole that combines two types of cushioning, "ABZORB" and "N-ergy," I never got tired even after walking all day long. If I had known this, I would have wished I had worn them sooner. . The deep green color is just right for spring.

Following on from Graphpaper, this is another piece of clothing from Fresh Service by Takayuki Minami, but I am by no means a follower of Mr. Minami's work. I like it that much (laughs). What I like about it is the multiborder pattern, which is unexpected for "Fresh Service. The heather gray base with a hint of green gives it a pop, yet calm impression. The thick cotton 100% body is tough yet soft and comfortable to the touch. The brand's typical big silhouette also gives a good impression. For those who tend to stick to plain T-shirts when the weather gets warmer, why not try this striped T-shirt as a change of pace?

DESCENTE
Descente sneakers
A lean pair.
With the recent launch of two new lines from the Descente Ortheline, Descente is suddenly making its presence felt in the fashion and lifestyle category. As if to accelerate this momentum, Descente has launched "Wayser," a sneaker collection created with a completely new approach. The most distinctive feature is the laminated construction, which is based on the adhesive technology used in shell jackets. This allows for both a minimalist design with inconspicuous seams and waterproofing that can cope with sudden rain. Although at a glance they look like a classic court style, the thick EVA midsole makes them comfortable to walk in. The more you look at them, the more you wear them, the more you will appreciate Descente's development capabilities.

Nike Running Shoes
Thick soles that won't hurt you.
Injuries are a serious problem for runners. In my case, I am prone to knee injuries, so I often find myself unable to practice as much as I would like even when a race is approaching.... . The cause is either form or muscle mass. These are not issues that can be improved immediately, so I decided to buy a new pair of running shoes that are suitable for daily training while being aware of the situation. I found the "Invincible 3" by Nike. The Invincible 3 was designed with the goal of "zero injuries" in mind, and features ZoomX foam in the midsole. While providing comfortable cushioning and energy return, the outsole is flared to reduce lateral sway. The upper is made of Flight Knit with embedded Flywire cables for a high fit, and other innovations are scattered throughout the pair to ensure a comfortable and safe run. If you are prone to injuries, this is the pair for you!
