KAPITAL

Capital Knitwear

Fluffy shirt.

While it is common to create clothes that aim for unexpected combinations, such as "this shape in that fabric," I don't think there are many other shirts made of knitwear. And if it is a shaggy knit with a long pile, it is even better. When I put my sleeves on the shirt, I found it to be the best I've ever had. It feels soft and fluffy, like a stuffed animal washed with a high-grade fabric softener. It's 100 percent cotton, so it doesn't prickle, and it's nice that it's not too hot. The work was done by "Capital," a company well-known for its "Ama-no-jyaku" craftsmanship. Personally, I think the visibility of this item is similar to the "CAMPUS KODIAK" pullover I used to wear a lot in the past. I personally like the fact that this "visibility" has the atmosphere of the pullover shirts of "CAMPUS KODIAK," which I used to wear in the past. The style is different, but it has a 50's feel to it. And the cotton shaggy fabric. Fluffy is the right thing to have!

BOW WOW

Bau Wow shirt and pants

Why I no longer rely on used clothing.

I used to wear vintage clothes all the time when I was in my twenties, although I have fewer opportunities to wear them nowadays. Among them, I was particularly passionate about collecting workwear and outdoor wear from the 30s to the 50s. Many of the clothes from this era were interesting with excessive detailing, and the materials were clearly of good quality and had a certain atmosphere. Nowadays, prices have skyrocketed, and it is no longer possible to afford them. The photo shows a corduroy set-up made by "Bau Wow. The material and processing are faithfully reproduced, following the work style of the time. It retains a vintage, wild flavor. Now that this kind of clothing is available at brand-new stores, I don't rely solely on secondhand clothing anymore. Thanks to this, I can now enjoy both vintage and new clothes. If I saw these clothes on a rack at a thrift store, I would pick them out, mistaking them for originals. As I have said here before, Bow Wow is the best when it comes to this kind of processed clothing. It's 100% cotton, so it's going to age even better when you wear it. The corduroy that has lost its color and become crumbly is also very cool. Here.

MOUNTAIN RESEARCH × KEEN

Mountain Research x Keen's Pyrenees

Old & New.

I want a certain level of specs, but I don't want to look too techie. I have been looking for such outdoor shoes that would blend in easily with my usual outfits, and I have finally found them. The combination of bran suede and outer leather reminds me of classic European design, but with a high-function sole, this is a pair of old and new. The Forstan on the laces and the engraving on the heel also add a special touch. Mountain Research's shoes are full of masterpieces, and the Pyrenees with Keen is definitely one of them. I was thinking of taking them down at the Asagiri JAM, but I overslept and left in a hurry, so I didn't get to wear them. Now I'm using them as street shoes mainly on rainy days. I plan to take them on my next fishing trip. I can't wait to wear them in the outdoor field!

Apple Apple AirPods 4

Apple AirPods 4

Small but powerful.

I had no complaints about the earphones I had been using and was rather satisfied with them, but when I saw the newly announced "AirPods I was rather satisfied with my previous earphones, but the moment I saw the newly released "AirPods 4" from Apple, I couldn't help but put my hand out. Look at this compact charging case! According to the official specs, it's 46.2 mm high, 50.1 mm wide, and 21,2 mm thick. I looked for a similar size in my surroundings and found that it is almost the same size as 15ml eye drops. It's not a very clear analogy, but I can assure you that it's not bulky at all, even if you put it in your pants pocket. As for the sound quality, the bass is powerful despite the smaller size. The sound has a solid contour and is very comfortable to listen to. And it doesn't stop there. I think this is quite amazing, but at the recent Apple product launch, the iPhione16 was the only one that attracted attention. Personally, I think the AirPods 4" should also be recognized as a masterpiece.

T SPEC GEAR

T SPEC GEAR shorts

Running shorts from a stylist's point of view.

When our stylist, Taira-kun, said to me, "We made shorts that you can run in, please wear them! I have to admit that I was puzzled. It is a well-known fact that Taira is a stylist, and I had heard that he was involved in a brand, but I thought that his tastes were too different from mine. But when I tried them on, I found that they were very well made. That is the "Reflector Shorts. They are made of water-absorbent, quick-drying material and have a zippered pocket on the back for storing a smartphone. While the Shorts are equipped with running functions, they are full of subtle details not found in so-called sportswear, such as the loose silhouette, color scheme of the drawcord, depth of the pockets, and supple, lightweight texture. The slightly larger logo on the side reflector reveals the mischievousness of Taira-kun. These running shorts are the result of a stylist's unique perspective. Would you like to try one?

Patagonia

Shinetsu Gogaku Trail Running Race Commemorative T-Shirt

Cool commemorative convention T-shirt.

When you participate in a race, you are often given a commemorative T-shirt. However, many of the commemorative T-shirts are of a level that I personally would not accept for everyday wear. I understand that it is not an important part of running a race, but it is a bit of a disappointment to receive a T-shirt that you have no use for.... Among such commemorative T-shirts, one that I prefer in terms of both function and design is the one from the Shinetsu Gogaku Trail Running Race that I recently participated in. 2024 event used Patagonia's versatile technical top, the Capilene Cool Daily Shirt, as the body of the T-shirt. Designed by Hiroki Ishikawa, the race's producer, it has a look that can be worn both in the city and in the mountains. This fascinating race is full of hospitality that makes you want to participate, including the pleasure of receiving this commemorative T-shirt. I hope to participate again next year and train every day so that I can finish the race.

LAD MUSICIAN

Rad Musician's MA-1

STILL ALIVE

I go to a lot of runway shows in my line of work, and one of the best this year was at the Rad One of the best shows this year was the "Rad Musician" show. To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the brand's establishment, the stage was set for the first time in 10 years at the Garden Hall in Ebisu, Tokyo, just as it had been in the past. The audience of nearly 1,000 exceeded all expectations, including eminent stylists, buyers, editors, and customers. When the curtain opened, the models appeared on the runway with a live performance by the band "syrup16g. The realistic sound of "syrup16g" and the boys' rich personalities were combined together, and it was as if we were watching a new kind of entertainment that transcended the boundaries of fashion. That's why we chose "RAD" this time. One of the most famous pieces of the "Rad Musician" brand, the MA-1. This mature construction, which was achieved by eliminating excessive details, is a true testament to the quality of this item.

MUJI

MUJI Long T

This is all-okay.

The T-shirt I wore the most this summer was a MUJI T-shirt. I picked it up on a business trip to India in June of this year. I needed to bring a long T-shirt to protect myself from mosquitoes, and after careful examination, I chose this one. What I like about it is its uniquely silhouette and navy color. I especially like the deep color, which adds a casual elegance to my usual casual style. The fabric, which is neither too thick nor too thin, is made of environmentally friendly African cotton. Polyester is mixed in there, so it will not shrink even after washing. After all, it was nearly 40 degrees Celsius every day in India, and the long T did not come in handy (laugh). By the way, there is also a short-sleeved type, and I wore it all the time in summer. Because they are 990 yen a piece. The long T-shirt I bought earlier is now in full use in the autumn season.

VEILANCE

Veilance pants

The ideal shape we have been waiting for.

In recent years, tech clothing has become a fixture in our lifestyles. Functional materials used in these garments have evolved at a rapid pace, and we no longer feel any discomfort or discomfort in wearing them. In fact, depending on the item, they may be easier to handle than those made of natural materials because they are wrinkle resistant and can be washed whole. In this context, I am now paying attention to "Veilance. While their clothes, which are based on the identity of Arc'teryx, are all solid and cool, they have always been difficult to match with items in my closet. Recently, however, this has been changing, and the clothes are becoming more and more attractive. Symbolic of this is the "Korbel pants. They have a very loose, straight silhouette, which has never been seen before in "Veilance",You can see how it feels to wear it by looking at the first style in this feature.The fabric made from recycled nylon is stretchable and has a durable water repellent finish. This is sure to be useful for all occasions, both on and off the job.

Barbara Mason Jr

Barbara Mason Jr. tracksuit jacket

Image by Casuals.

I may or may not wear it, depending on my mood, but I am interested in clothes with flashy colors. For example, casuals-like [Sergio Tacchini, Fred Perry, and in recent years, influences from rappers Skepta and Gbnga. As for hooliganism, I've seen the "SWEET SIXTEEN" movie. The way of dressing in the movie "SWEET SIXTEEN" is also a good reference. Speaking of UK, track jackets. I think it's a bit too trendy...but that doesn't mean I can't wear what I like. Mason Jr. I got one from [Barbara Mason Jr. It has a relaxed body width, extremely short length, long ribbing, thick arms, washer fabric on the brimmed hood, and synthetic leather on the cut-outs. And the color is Tiffany blue, which is quite unique. Pants are also released, and like a certain rapper, the set-up is also high-level but cool. By the way, the new coat that SORA-san wore at a certain DJ's wedding party the other day is also cool, and now they are taking orders for spring, fall, and winter items online.

Diaspora Skateboards

Diaspora Skate Bose gloves

Too convenient Niko-ichi.

I am definitely a winter person rather than a summer person. If it is cold, I can put on knitwear or outerwear, and if it is still cold, I can put on a scarf and gloves, and I have no problem in midwinter around Suginami-ku to Shibuya-ku where I spend about 80% of my life. Last year, I mainly used a certain brand of mint-type gloves, but it was sometimes a hassle to take them off when I read a book on the train or bought a can of beer or hot coffee at a convenience store. I was so grateful for the Diaspora I fell in love with these gloves at first sight at a "Skate Bose" exhibition. The mint and five-finger type gloves are nicely designed so that I don't have to take them off when I want to move my fingers. I thought this item was very skater-like, with an eye for detail and attention to detail. Not only for yourself, these gloves would make a great gift for men and women of all ages. The only problem I have is whether or not I will be able to take it home without losing it in a drunken stupor. I think I need to get into the habit of putting it in my outer pocket when I go to a club or a live music club.

SOUSHI

Soushi's MIX CD "BARBER SHOP FLAVOR Vol.3

He has always been one of Tokyo's icons.

I remember the first time I saw SOUSHI. I saw him standing out wearing a black coach JKT at some reception and asked someone who was with me, "Who is that kid? He told me he was a skater named SOUSHI, and I remember he was working for a certain sneaker brand at the time. Later, I met him at some opportunity and was surprised to see that he was only 17 to 8 years old and that his mother was closer in age to me than SOUSHI. I was surprised. Since then, I have interviewed her, asked her to be a model, met her at clubs, and visited her home. I still keep in touch with her, visit parties where SOUSHI is DJing, and bump into her at some point. And this "BARBER Since 2021, he has been working with the label SOULSHEET RECORDS and RRR NYC, and has been a member of "BARBER SHOP FLAVOR Vol. 3". I am listening to "BARBER SHOP FLAVOR Vol. 3" and imagining "this is how I feel now" as I write this manuscript.

LIVING PROOF MAGAZINE

Living Proof Magazine Artist Edition 001

Information about NY available in Kichijoji.

Many people use social networking services as their main means of gathering information, and I am one of those people. However, because SNS and the Internet have become a part of our daily lives, some might say that I am a nostalgic person, but I feel that information that I have heard from meeting someone or that has been edited becomes more embedded in my own blood. Living Proof Magazine" is a New York graffiti magazine, and this issue features part of a rare photo collection collected and photographed by Tommy Rebel, and is called "Outfit Artchitecture," an artist's edition. The 124 pages of the magazine feature a collection of photographs of people in New York City in the late 1990s wearing outfits and items from Polo Ralph Lauren, The North Face, and other fashion brands. The book is a must-have with the translation app and the records of the time. Although this book was originally only available to subscribers, we were able to get it at the "Ji Apartment" in Kichijoji, which is famous for its New York City location (unfortunately, it is currently only available to subscribers).

STAN

Stan's Bag

A bag with a commodity-like stance.

When I go on a business trip, I want a bag afterwards. I wonder if I can go more lightly, if I can go further away more easily. I think about this as I look at my luggage, which always seems to grow. This time, it was from Stan, which has a store in Fussa. Stan" has released many original items using lightweight and strong fabrics such as DCF (cuben fiber) and Cordura® ripstop nylon. Items using these types of fabrics often have a core UL look or are masculine items, but I really like how the color choices and other features make them look catchy, like in a general store. This bag is made of TUNOGA® rip and is an easy size for daily use. It is lightweight and small enough to fit a laptop. It has a great casual feel, as if you bought it on a trip, in a good way.

KAPTAIN SUNSHINE × BODHI

Captain Sunshine x Bodhi knitwear

The finest everyday wear.

For the past few years, I've found myself wearing only sweatshirts in the fall and winter. But I want to wear knitwear soon. That's the mood I'm in. When I want a subtle change, or when I am looking for clothes to wear on a daily basis, I check out "Captain Sunshine" for the time being. SUNSHINE" is my go-to place when I want a subtle change or when I am looking for everyday wear. I can find classy clothes made of the same items but made of different materials, and I feel that they look classy even when paired with a more casual style. This knit is a collaboration with Bodhi. White cashmere is incorporated into a polo shirt and sweatshirt design, with a relaxed fit that is typical of <Captain Sunshine" and knitted in a relaxed fit. While incorporating core details such as double V-gussets, the soft and fluffy material is used to its fullest. We think this is the ultimate in luxury, as it allows you to enjoy the quality of the material in the same way you would in your everyday wear.

HEGE

hege pot

From the kitchen straight to the dining table.

I try to cook at home as much as possible. I have woks, iron frying pans, processed frying pans, earthenware pots, cauldrons, and kyohira pots... I have so many different types of pots and pans that I have reached the limit of space.... But when I saw Hege's pots and pans, which are tableware that can be used over an open flame, I couldn't help but think I wanted one. The pots are made of aluminum by forming with a spatula, and are blasted to give them a nice texture. The fact that it is available in two colors, silver and black, must have been taken into consideration. The anodized aluminum finish and the high thermal conductivity typical of aluminum also make it easy to use. What's more, it is lightweight. Heavy is always the right word when it comes to pots and pans, but I don't cook dishes that require long simmering, and lightweight pots and pans are definitely better for daily use. The small size, which can cook about 2 cups of rice, will be used in the coming cold season.

UGG®.

Ag shoes

I like the unexpectedness.

Did this brand have such a design? When I visit exhibitions and previews, I often make such discoveries. Sometimes it's good, sometimes not so good, and sometimes it's not so easy, but for this particular pair of "ag" shoes, it was the former. This series, named "Cap Trail," uses a thick sole with good grip, which is typical of "Ag". The shoes have a slightly clicky feel for stability, and the waterproof suede upper and seam-sealed construction make them suitable for rainy days. The toggle laces make them easy to put on and take off, and they are a pair that I end up wearing because they are convenient. The sense of balance that is hard to find, including the nostalgic feel of the colors, is addictive.
