An appointment-only store somewhere in Setagaya.
TETTA is a rapper, tattoo artist, and gardener, while Guntate is a barber and Yukimura is the owner of the vintage clothing store "Downtwin. Composed of these three mid-20s, "LO-vacation" is the star of this year's event.

TETTA and Guntate, who had been silk-screen printing their own illustrations on clothing, met eight years ago and formed the group. In 2022, they opened a space combining a vintage clothing store "Downtwin" and a tattoo studio in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.
The base of "LO-vacation" is a five-minute walk from a certain station in Setagaya Ward. The signboard is quietly displayed in a room of an apartment building. The address is not disclosed and appointments are by appointment only. Although it is a store that cannot be casually dropped in, it is a hideout for those in the know, with rumors spreading through SNS and word of mouth. The entrance leads to a relaxing space with sofas and tables, and the tattoo studio and "Downtwin" are located in the back of the room.


GS SWEAT CREW
¥9,900
Made of the brand's standard 12 oz. heavy cotton sweatshirt fabric. The raised backside is warm and active in fall and winter. The fabric is firm and warm. The length and width are just right, so it can be worn for three seasons," says Yukimura.
Downtwin" offers a lineup of mainly vintage outdoor brand clothing, from standard models to unusual designs. Although the space is not large, there are many items lined up in a cramped space, and the selection is well worth seeing.
Yukimura: Compared to when we first opened, the items we carry have changed little by little, and now our main items are gimmicky and technical. I know it is hard to come here casually because we are by appointment only, but I would like to do my best to entertain you when you visit us.

FP FIELD JACKET
¥24,200
The fabric is made of flame-retardant Blaze Shield®. A number of work pockets on the front are convenient for storing small items. The pockets are large and easy to use, and can be stored on the chest or waist. The stylish collar switching makes it suitable for work, date night, or any time of the day" (TETTA)
TETTA is a member of the hip-hop crew "8mileAliens" and is active as an MC, back-up DJ, and designer. Tetta's tattoos have a loose design that is very appealing. While many people come to the shop looking for tattoos, TETTA puts this thought into his own tattoos: "I want to be a tattoo artist.
TETTA: It's a private space, so I often get advice from customers about their love lives and friendships. When I talk to them about it, they leave looking better than when they came in. But after a while they forget about it, so I hope that when they see the tattoos, they will remember what we talked about in a positive way. Since it's attached to a vintage clothing store, I want people to come visit even if they don't come for the tattoos.

FP MIL SWEATER 3.0
¥12,980
This sweater is made of Blaze Shield®, a flame retardant fabric with a military design. This look and feel works well for camping and campfires. 'I like the rough mesh and the military pockets on the sleeves. It is soft, comfortable and warm. I like the design, which is easy to match with anything," said Gundate.

TETTA and Guntate, who have been making silk-screen printed clothing since they were teenagers, also make their original "LO-vacation" clothing here. Next year, they are planning to sell their products at a well-known select store.
And one of their daily routines is that the three of them always get together every week to record a podcast program, "LO-vacation Radio". We call it a culture program for adults and distribute it every Monday.
Clustering: I talk about things that I can't really talk about in the public eye, so I don't get advertisements. But as long as what we are making as "LO-vacation" is cool, I think that's good enough.
