The other day, I watched a Netflix-only drama about ninja, or rather "ninja". I won't go into the details because it would be a spoiler, but after watching it, I found myself going to Gyudon restaurants more often than before. In many ways, I can't get enough of the sense of immorality.

NTN

NTN jacket

Spring is an excuse to wear a brilliant one.

Spring is just around the corner. I would like to wear brightly colored items on my sleeves to lift my spirits. Well, I wear colorful items all year round, but let's just say "especially. I chose a pullover by NTN. What do you think of the airy, short-length silhouette and gentle nuance of color? I was deeply impressed by the way the word "hit me the moment I saw it" is used in this case. The outer material, which has a moderate tension and a glimpse of a matte look, is made of Olmetex water-repellent nylon, which is also used by maisons around the world. Because of this background, I personally prefer to wear it with dressy slacks or baggy pants rather than with casual pants. The slanted front zip is also a clever and playful touch.

Fujimoto

Fujimoto's Jacket

For those , who do not fit the mold.

Hanten? Samue? Riders? These items, which even have the feel of vintage jackets, are new items from the up-and-coming brand "Fujimoto," which was launched in the 2022AW season. The designer, Mr. Fujimoto, says that he was inspired by "novels" and "music," which he loves very much, and all of the items are unique and wonderful, full of love and messages. It may be a bit of a stretch to describe them in terms of existing objects, as I mentioned at the beginning of this article. I was particularly attracted to this linen-blend jacket with a gentle texture, and the drawcords at the waist and hem allow the silhouette to be freely adjusted. It is a perfect jacket to throw on quickly and looks great with any pants. When the weather gets a little warmer, I would like to wear it with washed and damaged jeans and bee-sans, with a hint of grunge in the air.

Product Twelve

Product Twelve Jacket

The point to be inferred is not only the pattern.

My closet is full of patterned clothes, even though I'm not old enough to wear them. . It seems that the number of things I like is gradually increasing, even if I don't intend it to. And as usual, the patterned item that caught my attention was one from "Product Twelve. I fell in love at first sight with the large, pale blue and white camo pattern. However, upon closer inspection, the charming pattern was not the only thing that caught my attention. The large front pockets with flaps, the uniquely shaped high neck, the 1.5 sleeve pattern with shaped raglan sleeves, the underarm gussets, and the larger-than-usual elbow curves . The brand's technology has been generously incorporated into these garments. In addition, the fabric is made of Dantotsu water-repellent nylon taslan taffeta, so even rainy days are no problem.

Alexander Wang pants

Look closely.

I'm sure you have one or two things in your closet that you keep in a folder. For me, it is blue denim. Sometimes I feel the urge to wear them, but it is rare. So why am I introducing this Alexander Wang denim? Well, this is actually a print. I apologize for the sticky tone of my writing (laughs). What I like about printed denim is that you can enjoy changes in silhouette and shape that cannot be expressed in denim. The feeling of the hem of the jeans when you put them on, the wrinkles when you walk or sit on them, and the exquisite nuances, but in fashion, it's all about the right balance of these little details. With these, it seems that they will not be left sleeping in the wardrobe.

Nice to meet you.

Dear HOUYHNHNM's readers , nice to meet you. I am Kato, a new member of the editorial department . I jumped into the fashion industry after double-schooling at a university and a vocational school, and it's been almost 10 years since I joined the editorial department, including my internship. My days pass by so fast that I forget about them, but with the support of many people, I am living a fulfilling life. I will continue to provide my own "hip" information centered on street culture, which I have always loved, and I look forward to your continued support of HOUYHNHNM's!

Carhartt WIP

Carhartt WIP Coat

I like that it doesn't "look like".

The good thing about this job is that I can work in the clothes I like, but at my age, I have to be aware of TPO (time, place, and occasion) to a certain extent. I am especially careful at meetings. The "NEWHAVEN COAT" is perfect for such occasions. COAT". While paying respect to the brand's roots in "work," the main feature of this coat is that it has a different atmosphere from the Carhartt WIP of the past. The pockets on the left and right sides are deep enough to go out empty-handed on holidays. The length is just right, just enough to cover the buttocks, making it a perfect item for the current mood.

BEAMS

Beams half-zip parka and pants

Easy is best.

I didn't feel it at all in my 20s, but once I hit my 30s, I feel it very much. . Yes, I am getting old. . I still want to go out on the town on my days off and meet all kinds of people and things, take my dog for a walk, and be energetic and active. The "BEAMS" set-up has solved this problem. The "comfort" that you can feel from the first glance is appealing, and it is a great point that you can wear it as a set-up as well as separately. Many people are interested in the special-order items that are released periodically at select stores, but personally, I am very interested in the inline items. A senior colleague of mine who had a great influence on me once said, "The spirit of a brand is in its inline. The spirit of the brand resides in the inline. I personally believe that this is exactly true. Every season, a lot of clothes are lined up in the store, but if you have time, please take a good look at them. You will find a lot of things like, "What's so good for such a low price? You will find many things like that.

Recognize / Clarks Desert Trek

The detachable fringe part is the key.

MURO's "Recognize" has done it! It has been a little over a month since its release, but I personally am still very excited about it. I'm a big MURO fan, but even without that, it's still a masterpiece. This pair was created in collaboration with Clarks, a company where you are sure to see at least one person a day wearing a pair of their shoes, and the base model is the ever-popular "Desert The base model is the ever-popular "Desert Trek. The design, which is expressed through the filter of "2000s hip-hop," is impressive, and the detachable fringe part is the most distinctive feature. The fact that you can turn it on and off depending on your taste in the day's coordination is also very playful. I look forward to seeing more exciting items from you in the future. .

Buddy , good song.

I missed both the 4 pre-release and the additional release the day before with flying colors , so I watched it via streaming for crying out loud. Of course, I was sobbing as I watched the "Audrey's All Night Nippon in Tokyo Dome". It was like Audrey to have a sandwich of emo moments and silly moments, and it was not fair to end the show with a comic dialogue. I resented my lack of luck, but I was so moved that I forgot about it. I'm glad it was Little Tooth!

BANANA REPUBLIC

Banana Republic Jacket

Eventually, vintage.

I am ashamed to admit that I first learned about "Banana Republic" at a thrift store. Although it must have been made decades ago, I got the impression that the clothes had not faded away, but were imbued with the atmosphere of the times and had a high degree of strength as clothing. This is why I started to check out current items through vintage clothing, and this season I was particularly interested in this jacket, which is based on a drizzle jacket that appeared in the 50's. It retains the practicality of the zipper pockets and banded hem, but the coloring and materials have been updated in a modern context. The coloring and materials have been updated in a modern context. The corduroy lining can be seen when the collar is turned up, giving it a bit of a gentleman's look. The leather zipper pull is also effective. It can be worn as a light jacket in early spring or early fall, and as an inner layer in winter. It's nice to find this in second-hand clothes, but if you can get this atmosphere in a brand-new one, isn't it a perfect match?

Buddy Optical Eyewear

A dash of individuality .

I saw a stylist I know wearing it and thought it looked nice , so I asked her about the brand and she said, "Badioptical. The name of the item is "gis. I asked her about it, and she told me that the brand had inherited a square-shaped model called "gis," which was originally developed by the brand, and added a straight bar bridge to it. Since it is not as peculiar as the double bridge, this model is perfect for people who are amateurs of eyeglasses but want to add a bit of individuality to their eyewear. The nose pad is an underslung metal pad as seen on old European glasses, and the modern treatment is also brilliant. It is a model that you will fall in love with just by placing it on the table. And it is lighter than you might imagine from its appearance. It's just so light. It is not an exaggeration to say that it feels like you are not wearing it at all. With Gis, my daily life will be a little different. I even think so.

MY___.

Mai's Blouson

Adult short length shaka.

I love the short, crisp lengths. I think Mai is a brand that appeals to women who are interested in men's clothing as well, and I, for one, am always drawn to their coloring and meticulous finishing. This one is made of leather-like nylon satin fabric, and thanks to the intricate post-processing, it looks stoic at first glance but has a soft texture. The flap pocket can be stowed from the top or the side, a nice, yet minimalist feature. The exquisite coloring, which is neither brown nor khaki, is typical of "Mai," and its versatility makes you want to match it with chinos, denim, slacks, sweatshirts, and more. Going back to the beginning, my love of short lengths probably started when I was a student. I remember wearing them in the gym in the winter when I was playing dum-dum with a ball. At that time, it was in the context of sports, but the fashionable look is so different. I have grown up.

FUJI

Fuji jacket

Have a cheerful holiday with FUJI.

I like the cheerful atmosphere that underlies all of Fuji's clothes and looks. I also like that the tailoring and details are well behaved, and the back is straight and straight. I can't help but feel that this tailored jacket embodies the brand's character, and the first thing I want to note is its comfortable texture. It is made of linen and rayon with polyurethane, and is stretchable. The stripes are expressed as pinstripes by reversing the grain of the fabric, which makes you want to talk about it to others. If it were an equation, you would want to wear this with a light shirt or something, but how about an old, clean T-shirt and denim, like Princess Diana on her day off? I've been in the mood for a casual jacket like this lately.

KAPTAIN SUNSHINE

Captain Sunshine Hoodie

Orange this spring.

. I like crisp colors. Especially items in warm colors such as yellow and orange, even if I have several of them, I tend to buy more of them. In that sense, the "Camp Ten Sunshine" parka fits right into my strike zone. . The material is nylon cloth made by Olmetex, an Italian company loved by many of the world's most prestigious maisons. The exquisite orange color is created by using nylon yarns of different thicknesses in the warp and weft and dyeing the fabric after weaving it into a super-dense weave. At first glance, it may seem gaudy, but try holding it in your hands. You will be surprised at how well it blends in when you wear it. Recently, I have been thinking that it is time for me to start getting some chic clothes to balance with my age, but I think it will be a little while before I settle down.

.OWT.

Long T of .OWT.

Indipendent Awesomeness.

OWT. magazine is produced by Shingo Kureya, a photographer who has been a frequent contributor to HOUYHNHNM's. Each issue of the magazine features two creators. Each issue of the magazine introduces two creators, and Mr. Kureya alone handles the entire process of producing the magazine, from photography and interviews to editing, design, and bookbinding. Perhaps it is because of this independent production method, but my personal impression is that it is better produced than a zine, and that the creator's face is more visible than in a magazine. Anyway, as someone who is involved in the editorial business, I have nothing but respect for them. OWT." has just launched a new long T-shirt. It is a simple design with the title of the magazine embroidered on the chest, and is available in a nice variety of colors. However, this is a piece that I would like to wear through my sleeves, not because of how it looks, but because of my support for Kureya (at the risk of being presumptuous).

STANLEY.

Stanley Bottle

Tea

I drink only hot tea during the cold season. It is not that I am particular about tea leaves or anything, but it is a habit I have had since I was a child. As usual, this year, if it was a holiday, I would drink 5 or 6 cups of tea a day , to keep myself warm. At that time, I thought to myself that it would be nice if the water boiled in the kettle did not get cold all the time. When it is cold, I am too lazy to get out of the blanket, so I want to reduce the number of times I have to face the kettle as much as possible. So, the perfect bottle for my lazy self was the Stanley Classic Vacuum Bottle, which has a vacuum-insulated structure that keeps water hot and cold at the same time. I knew of the existence of this old classic, but I was attracted to the new brick (brownish brick-red) color. Moreover, it is decorated with the brand's signature hammertone finish, so it is not only new, but also has a classic feel. Of course, it can be used outside of winter as well, and in summer, for example, it is perfect for festivals and camping. In the movie "Interstellar," Cooper used a bottle covered in dust and scratches, which looked strangely cool, and I want to use it as hard as he does.

Mizuno × Graphpaper

Mizuno x Graphpaper sneakers

My favorite black, white and red.

In my mind, "Mizuno" is known for its "Morelia" soccer spikes. The classic black, white, and red color scheme with the iconic folded back shoe tongue. The complete design always makes me fall in love with them. The reason I'm telling you this is that "Morelia" came to mind when I saw the coloring of the new sneakers made by Graphpaper and Mizuno. Of course, the design is completely different, and the coloring comes from this season's Graphpaper seasonal color, black ink, but it linked to my own memories and made me happy. Incidentally, the black color of these shoes is not just black, but something that I found after visiting many times to explore the machine shops and dyeing factories. I love the romance of combining such an analog object with shoes equipped with the latest functions.

Hideki Shibayama

But still, the breast plate is amazing....

Just today, I went to a Mammut press conference. It was held on the occasion of the launch of a certain campaign, and the guest speaker was Junichi Okada, whom I have a lot of respect for. In response to the question, "Why do you go to the mountains? He jokingly answered, "Because the mountains are calling me (laugh)." But I could feel his love for the mountains from his every word, and I could tell that he truly loves the outdoors. He had a dignity and austerity that emanated from such experience. He was the coolest guy I've ever met.

adidas Originals

adidas Originals x Atmos sneakers

A major topic for the first half of 2024.

I've been wearing only run shoe based sneakers for the last year, but this model had me hooked at first sight. Following the "Adimatic" and "Campus Supreme Sole," and in January of this year, the "Adidas Originals" and "Atmos" tag team reissued the "Adimatic" and "Supreme Sole," respectively. Originals" and "Atmos" reissued the "Low Suit" in January this year, following the "Adimatic" and "Campus Supreme Sole. The pair debuted in the mid-1990s as skateboarding shoes, and the key point is the action sports-inspired design. The three stripes and fat silhouette of the ultra-thick , and the brown that injected the "Atmos" style. × The coloring is full of the street taste of brown and green. This balance of sophistication with a bit of attitude is hard to find, I think.

ASICS Sports Style Sneakers

Letran shoes with a gear feel.

The "GEL-KAYANO 14" no longer needs any explanation, and is right in the middle of the current sneaker scene. The GEL-KAYANO 14 is one of the most popular of the many "ASICS Sportstyle" shoes, this model is particularly popular and is becoming synonymous with retro running shoes. The mesh upper has been rearranged from mesh to ripstop, giving it a more "techie" look. The standard model has a sporty impression, but this one has more of a gear feel. The comfort is the same, so it is easy to use on a daily basis, and it is a pair that is easier to fall in love with outdoor style. Asics is gaining momentum in both the essential sports and lifestyle fields, and we look forward to checking out more of their products in the future.

The North Face Bags

Functional beauty with minimal waste.

The North Face "Telus 35" backpack I bought for an expedition was doing well, so I bought a daypack to go with it. I was looking for a daypack from "The North Face" and came across the Vostok 26. It has a sleek shape and a logo in the same color as the body. I was attracted by its lean design, which is easy to match with my daily styling, but it also has a great deal of functionality. It is light on the back, has a zippered pocket with a key clip, and stretchable side pockets. Above all, the 26L capacity is the best part. It can be used in a wide variety of situations, from going to work to overnight business trips, day hikes, and going to and from the gym. . I'm quietly eyeing a backpack for my next trip.

Souvenir goods of TOTOKEN

Loose Souvenir Goods.

It has been five whole months since TOTOKEN opened. Some are real readers, and many runners and saunters who have never heard of HOUYHNHNM's before have visited the store, and we hope that this place will become a touch point for getting to know HOUYHNHNM's, while expanding the circle of community around it. But that digression aside, here we are at last, the souvenirs. These items are really nothing special, but the quick-drying T-shirt has a graphic by Ken Kagami, who worked on the decorations in the museum, the face towel has a body with minimal fluff, and the hand towel is dyed with an all-over pattern, reflecting some kind of attention to detail. These items are worth buying, so be sure to do so when you visit TOTOKEN!

Photographer's jacket with name

Dear Photographers.

From the Spring/Summer 2024 collection of 〈NAME〉, which I often stop by the store in my private time. This season's collection was inspired by the photography of photographer Gordon Parks. The key item in the collection is this "PHOTOGRAPHERS FLIGHT JACKET" has flap pockets like a photographer's bag throughout. The single line on the body of the jacket is an accent. At first glance, it looks as rugged as an authentic military jacket, but the rounded shape makes it look cute when worn over a jacket, and the size is relatively small. Women can also wear it without any discomfort. . Personally, I love the earthy, earthy color. I have the impression that many of the items from "NAME" are well-designed, but I am always impressed by the subtlety that can only be achieved by knowing the good qualities of basic items.

Health Knit Sweatpants

Let's be more rough.

Sweat pants have established themselves not only as relaxation wear but also as a fashion item. While sophisticated silhouettes that look great with a classic jacket are great, I also want to get a pair that I can wear in my room without feeling self-conscious. The sweat pants from are perfect for this purpose, both in appearance and price. It's hard to see in the photo, but I love the cute little "H" under the pockets. They are lined with a brushed fabric, so they are comfortable to the touch and warm to the touch. I think this will work well for desk work, photo shoots, or even in your room. It comes in six different colors, so you can buy more than one color. The red one I chose this time would be cute with a navy top and loose socks.

HOWLIN'

Howlin' knit hat

Hats off.

I came across this knit hat by "Howlin" at the select store "feet" in Yutenji. It is a rasta color with just the right amount of saturation, not too shallow and not too deep. I couldn't help but pick it up because of the combination of various elements that I liked. The Belgian knitwear brand "Howlin" has its roots in music, and its name comes from the musical term "howling. All items are carefully made by craftsmen, from the first stitching to ironing and folding. It is just like a small record company selling hand-stamped 7-inch records with explanatory text. The core culture is what makes it possible for us to maintain an unwavering stance in our manufacturing. . I was completely charmed by the design, the feel, and of course, the flirtatiousness of the product.

CONVERSE

Converse Stars & Bars

Celebrating 50th anniversary.

The "One Star" by Converse, a leading low-tech sneaker, seems to be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. . It is truly a masterpiece that has been loved for a long time. This time, I would like to introduce the "Stars & Bars," the predecessor of the "One Star." I met this pair at a trade show and felt an inexpressible sympathy for them. I like to keep my clothes in basic colors and accentuate them with vivid low-tech sneakers only on my feet, and these are perfect for such a style. . Besides, I can't get enough of the vintage yellowish outsole. The laces are also printed with an uneven texture as if they had been stored for a long time, and the high quality reproduction of age-related deterioration is one of the main features of these shoes. Pop , but a little bit naughty. A little bit of a loose feeling is the key. I guess I'll have to buy these.
