A collaboration that was a long-held dream come true.
Brooks Brothers × NEAT for UNITED ARROWS & SONS Chino Pants ¥30,800
-So, what is the point of these chinos?
. The most important thing is, after all, the adoption of the "Thompson," which is not currently available. . The silhouette is very thick and loosely tapered with two tucks. . It was difficult to find materials and patterns, and I even made patterns from old clothing samples.
Have there been any changes from the original "Thompson"?
. Maybe the point is that I haven't changed them. Actually, I thought about changing the silhouette, but then they would look like "NEAT" pants instead of "Thompson" pants. . I left the silhouette as is out of respect for "Thompson.
The color range includes three different colors.
I was allowed to choose stone, beige, and navy from the five colors available in the Advantage Chino, a classic pair of chinos from Brooks Brothers. I thought these colors would be my favorite uncle-like colors, in a good sense of the word.
The fabric used is Brooks Brothers' chinocloth, giving it the elegant appearance of slacks. The flashi (unprocessed) hem is designed to be hemmed, so you can enjoy it at the length of your choice.
The "NEET" name is also a highlight, isn't it?
This is a point that I was quite particular about. When I left Brooks Brothers, I knew I wanted to collaborate with this brand someday, so this is truly a longtime dream come true.
-What would you wear with these chinos?
My concept of how I dress will not change, and I think I will wear them with sandals and sneakers, just as I do with the pants from "NEET. Therefore, I hope that the people who purchase these pants will enjoy them freely, without being bound by American tradition or dressiness. . Today, I tried a casual look with a Brooks Brothers shirt tucked in and a cap on.
-By the way, you also made a cap, didn't you?
Cap ¥6,600 each
The body was made using the "Forty Seven ('47)" brand, which is also sold at Nishinoya. . The most important point is the color. Thinking of the American casual style of the East Coast, we sampled the colors of a sports team based in New York. The navy and white colors are reminiscent of the Yankees (MLB), the blue and orange of the Mets (MLB) and Knicks (NBA), and the green and white of the Jets (NFL).
-Anyway, both the chinos and the caps are going to be very popular. I am looking forward to their release.
It was a very emotional collaboration for me, as this is my old home and the brand that laid the foundation of my fashion. The items will only be sold at limited stores of "UNITED ARROWS", but I hope you will pick them up as I am very proud of this collaboration item, which is filled with my own thoughts and feelings!
