Clothes that bring you into autumn and styles that are unique to autumn.

Why is it that we get soppy in the fall? It is the season when the temperature drops slowly but surely, as the temperature difference between day and night intensifies. Such climatic changes are similar to people's feelings. Autumn is a season that brings changes to our hearts.

As the climate changes, what we wear changes, which in turn changes how we behave. The wallet and phone that used to be in your pants pocket in the summer have now moved to your outerwear pocket, and you find yourself switching your bag from an eco-friendly bag to a tough one.

Elle Bean's Boat and Tote. Wouldn't you want to match this item, which celebrates its 80th anniversary this year, with autumn and winter outerwear?

The "Bean's Field Coat, Insulated," for example, has a classic appearance that fits a boat-and-tote: an updated version of a 1924 hunting jacket. It has lots of pockets, which also accentuate its design.

The fabric, which has a pleasant suede-like feel, is made of "split taffeta" woven with a special yarn that interweaves polyester, nylon, and cotton. The padding is made of Toray-developed 3DeFX, which is not only warm but also surprisingly lightweight. It may look massive, but when you try it on, you will feel light on your feet due to its overwhelming comfort.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the original Field Coat. The "L.L.Bean Japan Edition" lineup includes two types: a standard length (short length for the women's model) and a long length.

The evolution that 100 years of time produces is truly amazing. I also respect the fact that they cherish their roots and have hardly changed their hunting-derived design. This one piece of clothing is packed with warmth and innovation.

Coordinating such clothes with "L.L.Bean Japan Edition", you can create fun outfits. The fitting is designed to fit the Japanese, so even if you dare to go up a size, it will not look too big, and you can wear it loose in the city. This means you can have fun playing with the size range.

While the silhouette gives the garment individuality, it is also unique to use patterned knitwear to add expression to the styling. The variety of materials used, such as nylon, down, fleece, chino, and denim, is another appealing feature of this outdoor brand.

In fashion, there is the pleasure of combining various elements according to the character of the wearer. The "Holden Down Vest" is a dynamic item that allows you to experience the true joy of such fashion. While it is voluminous and looks like outerwear, its sleeveless construction expands the range of its wearing options.

The large hip pockets, reminiscent of the "Windy Ridge Jacket" produced in the 1990s, also add an accent. The material used is "micro nylon ripstop" with a water-repellent finish and a soft texture. The use of "white goose down," which boasts the highest quality of all down materials, is also a particular feature of this jacket. Even a small amount of down is bulky, so it is light, warm, packable, compact, and easy to carry. It is just excellent.

As times change, the way we wear clothes changes, and as the way we wear clothes changes, so do the designs. However, such changes are sometimes quite trivial. The accumulation of such changes results in a big wave of trends.

L.L.Bean Japan Edition" is more sensitive to small changes in people's feelings than to big waves. That is why it has been thoughtfully updated to suit today's lifestyles. For example, the "warm-up jacket," a staple of the "L.L.Bean" line, has been reborn as a clean-looking, easy-to-wear design by eliminating the ribbing on the sleeves and hem.

This item, called the "Ravel Microfleece Lined Jacket," has a lightweight, adjustable silhouette with spindles at the hem. The fabric is made of "memory polyester taffeta," which has shape memory properties and is excellent for easily removing wrinkles by hand. Of course, the inside is lined with fleece, but the exquisite color scheme expresses the L.L. Bean character through its contrasting colors. The silhouette is reminiscent of the 90s. The silhouettes are reminiscent of the 90's. It is clear that the creators of this collection have their eyes firmly fixed on the street.

Attention to detail in design is deeply related to the aura that clothing creates. Like the functional beauty created by outdoor and military wear, carefully considered design brings beauty to clothing, which in turn gives the wearer a sense of exuberance.

But nowadays, everything is available. That is why it takes courage to create something new. Even for the "L.L.Bean Japan Edition," which is a reworking of a past masterpiece, the task must not have been an easy one.

The high level of functionality and comfort that can be clearly seen through the sleeves, as well as the user-friendliness of the arrangements that are well-tailored to the needs of the wearer, are the result of designs that take into account the feelings of the wearer. This is due to a design that takes into account the feelings of the wearer. Where shall I go with this on? Where should I go with this? Perhaps it is even designed to the point where such a feeling comes to mind.

The power that attractive clothing can create is great. You will find yourself calming down from the sobriety of fall. Open the door to your room and go out to your usual place. With "L.L.Bean Japan Edition.
