The Fashion Memorandum of Keiji Kaneko
Oxford regular collar shirt made with Yataro Matsuura.

I would like to create something together. Keiji Kaneko hit it off with Yataro Matsuura, with whom he had an interview in "Kofukubure Techo. A year has passed since then, and a shirt has been completed. The finished product is an oxford regular-collar shirt. The item, which was created after a long discussion between the two, seems to be faithful to the original, but there is something different about it. They are universal, yet somehow charming. While looking at one such piece, let us ask the couple to tell us the story behind its birth.

. I want it to be open to a wide range of people who are interested in it.

I'd like to see it in real life.

Matsuura: Let's try it on. I think I'll wear a large.

Kaneko: I think Yataro's perfect size is about M. L would be a little big, but that would give a nice atmosphere.

Matsuura: If you want to tuck it in, maybe a L would be better.

Kaneko: I'll wear an XL.

Matsuura: I like the large size, XL makes it look more modern.

Kaneko: I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel really good about it (laughs).

. It's still in its raw state, but I'm sure it will develop a really nice look as you wash it.

Kaneko: Yes, I do. I have a strong feeling of that. It looks good either worn big or small. Yataro-san looks good, too. I don't feel uncomfortable at all.

Matsuura: The fabric is still very comfortable.

Kaneko: Yes . I think it would be totally suitable for spring and summer. . because it feels somewhat cool and refreshing.

Matsuura: Also, it's easy to move around.

Kaneko: Indeed. If the body width is wide, it is easy to get strange wrinkles when the arms are down, but this one looks good standing up.

Matsuura: . the plucking on the back is also emphasized when you wear it. It changes something tasteless into something tasteful. The rounded hem is also beautiful when viewed from the side.

Kaneko: The length is also just right. This balance is not easy to achieve.

Are the sizes available from S to XL?

Kaneko: If you think of it as a business, it is better to limit the sizes. It's a small project, and it costs a lot of money for samples if we offer multiple sizes. Mr. Gommori was also concerned that we would make very little profit. Mr. Gonmori was concerned that we would make very little profit. For our part, we want to make sizes that can be worn by people with large bodies, and vice versa. We also want women to wear them. We want people who share the shirt's appeal to wear it in their preferred size.

Matsuura: This is just a man's fantasy, but I want women to wear what I like or what I feel is cool.

Kaneko: You talked about that.

Matsuura: . It's just an illusion, though. . I have a feeling that good things should be unisex. I want it to be open to a wide range of people, regardless of gender, who are interested in it.
