Time spent in a restful barber.
Three people gathered at "barbershop KING" in a quiet residential area in Shimoma, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. KING" located in a quiet residential area in Shimoma, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo. Mr. Gunteri is currently working at this historic store, which celebrated its 25th anniversary this year. The store, which has inherited the good old American barbershop style, is very popular with customers who come all the way from faraway places to visit.
Clustering: I have been working here for 5 years. I originally worked at a barber shop in Azabu, but I wanted to work at an authentic barber store. People of all ages and from all walks of life visit our barbershop. It is a popular barbershop in the good sense of the word.
POLARTEC LINING
HOODY ¥26,400
Polartec fleece lining and windproof nylon outer fabric. The uniquely designed hood area is impressive. When the hood is not on, the collar stands up to prevent wind from entering. I like this shape. I usually go without hands most of the time, so it helps that there are plenty of pockets. It looks simple, but I can feel the attention to detail. It's warm, so I want to wear it when I ride my motorcycle.
TETTA and Yukimura-san always come here together to get their hair done, and on this day, TETTA was fine-tuning the parts that bothered her.
TETTA: I sometimes shave my head and sometimes grow it long. I am the type of person who likes to go against the trends, so now I ask for a close-cropped haircut instead of a fade.
Yukimura: The atmosphere here is nice and relaxing. All three of us are soccer fans, and we get our hair cut based on the hairstyles of stylish foreign soccer players.
FLANNEL FIELD
SHIRT ¥13,200
Thick flannel fabric is used. Although the shape is work-oriented, the subdued colors and check pattern combine to create a design that fits in well with the city. This shirt has flap pockets and large pockets for extra storage. The fabric is thick and comfortable. The pockets hold a lot of small items, so it's easy to use, and I like the colors, which are easy to match," said Guntate.
REVERSIBLE JKT 3.0
¥19,800
Reversible design with jungle camouflage patterned boa fabric and windproof nylon fabric. You can enjoy different designs depending on your mood or the coordinates of the day. I wear fleece a lot, and I like patterns like this. I often wear fleece, and I like this kind of patterned fleece, but with nylon as the outer fabric, I can wear it with a different impression, which is a great value for money.
The three of us are busy with many things to do, such as producing original items and recording podcasts. That is why we come up with various ideas and keep "LO-vacation" moving when we get together outside of our base. The topic of discussion this time is the pop-up event to be held in Osaka on December 14 (Sat.) and 15 (Sun.). They are very enthusiastic about the event, as it is the first time it will be held outside of Tokyo.
TETTA: In Tokyo, we hold a pop-up every six months, and thankfully we have a lineup every time. And in December, we are going to Osaka for the first time. We plan to sell original items, "Downtwin" vintage clothing, and artwork drawn by Gun-chan (Gun-dachi) and myself. I hope to recreate the space of the "LO-vacation" base as it is.
