Chilly days are somewhat increasing. However, this is an order to enjoy fashion! Here's a little help for those of you who are struggling with fall/winter clothes, SHOPPING ADDICT! Since we have one more member, we will introduce three items per person from this time!
We have successfully completed the sixth issue of our semi-annual magazine "Huynem Unplugged. The theme of this issue is "Hobbies. I tried to depict the trend of the times, which is shifting from the consumption of goods to the consumption of things.
This summer, I went to Nemuro City in Hokkaido, Japan, to interview a talented man named Hiromichi Furukawa, who lives in the furthest reaches of the island, for "Huinamu Unplugged," which will be released on September 22. After studying fashion in Paris, he immediately started his own brand, "Arm. Since then, he has been at the top of the fashion scene for 18 years. After the earthquake, he moved to Nemuro, which he visited for the first time. In addition to his main job as a designer, he is now involved in various activities, including serving as the president of the Nemuro City Culture Promotion Association, an advisor for Nemuro City immigration, and a member of Nemuro City's energy planning committee. When we first met Mr. Furukawa in Tokyo, we were intrigued by his wide range of activities and decided to interview him. I visited Nemuro without knowing much about the jewelry he makes, but when I held a ring or bangle in my hands, I was instantly struck by its rich and emotional appearance. The silver bangle in particular is a gem that Mr. Furukawa calls "a masterpiece. The episode that gave birth to the unique form is interesting. I have been living for 40 years, and for the first time in my life, I met a bangle that I wanted. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a universe within this bangle.
Bangle ¥90,000, Upper right ring ¥140,000, Lower right ring ¥120,000

It has been 17 years since the brand started. Without looking aside from trends, "SAI" has been pursuing only the coolest clothes that they think are the best. This year, the brand finally opened its flagship store in Sendagaya, Tokyo. This is a daring attempt at a time when all makers and brands are complaining that store sales are struggling. This attitude is irresistibly cool and makes me want to support them to the hilt. As everyone knows, in this age of e-commerce, it is difficult to visit a real store unless you have a reason to go all the way, and this is one of the reasons. One of the reasons is the existence of "SAI MERCANTILE," a line that can only be purchased here. The basic wool serge jacket introduced here has a contemporary look that is different from both the collection line "SAI" and the basic line "SAI Basics. This series is probably the best way to experience the brand's current position. In any case, I am paying close attention to what is going on with "SAI" right now.

According to one source, the most progressive state in the U.S. today is not New York or California, but Colorado. Colorado was the first state to legalize the possession and recreational use of marijuana, and its progressive stance has caught the attention of the entire United States. As we are always looking for something hip, this kind of liberal movement cannot be overlooked, and the name "Colorado" is deeply engraved in our hearts. The "Topo Designs" shown here is made in Colorado. While the name recognition in Japan is still in its infancy, Topo Designs has already gained a certain level of recognition in its home country. While their main business is bags, they are also expanding their business into apparel and accessories. Colorado is originally a place where outdoor activities and sports are popular. All products are tested in the fields around Colorado and have undergone repeated modifications. Topo Designs" combines pop design with high-functional details and a hip attitude. I have a feeling that they are "coming soon.

From the classic baggy shorts to wind-blocking Houdini jackets and lightweight, breathable Duckbill caps, Patagonia has many great products that can be worn on the street and run. This men's Storm Racer jacket, updated for spring/summer 2017, is about to join the ranks of such masterpieces. As you can see, it has a plain look, and the ultra-lightweight 3-layer ripstop nylon is highly stretchable and waterproof. Lined with a soft tricot fabric for a comfortable fit. It is pocketable and can be stored in the left chest pocket, so you can toss it in your bag as an everyday rain shell as well as for running and trail running.

Recently, I often wear dial-up running shoes for my daily jogging. This is because they save me the trouble of tying the laces and can be loosened with a single touch after a run. Looking around the market, one finds a surprising number of companies offering dial-type running shoes, including Asics' Dynamis, Puma's Disc System series, and New Balance's Fuel Core Sonic. Of these, I was personally interested in the "GEL-FujiRado" trail running shoes from ASICS. The GEL-FujiRado, which took more than two years of research and development, offers a more precise fit control and smooth on/off while maintaining ASICS's reliability. And it looks stylish, too. The all-black version is also very cool.

In the summer, I spent most of my time wearing sandals, and with just a T-shirt, shorts, and sandals, I could stay relatively comfortable even in the sweltering heat of summer. One of the most useful sandals was the Hurricane Toe Pro by Teva, a brand synonymous with action sports sandals. The best thing about this model is that it has a toe guard. It helps to keep your bare feet from being stepped on and even facilitates smooth foot lifts. Moreover, the lightweight, highly cushioned EVA insole works surprisingly well when running. In fact, I was able to use them on a long run of less than 30 km without any difficulty, so I think I will run with them for the time being. I think I will run with these for the time being. They look comfortable for town use.

Unfortunately, there was a typhoon over the weekend when I finished the proofing of the sixth issue of "Huynem Unplugged" which will be released on the 22nd. I can't wait to go shopping!
I moved last November. It is a residential area only a 10-minute walk from my previous place. The reason was simple: I had more stuff and my room was smaller. Since I was moving to a new house, I got rid of almost all the things I didn't need (things I haven't used for more than a year) basically. My closet is not that big, so I said goodbye to all shirts except for my favorite brand's standard items. After my new life started, I avoided shopping as much as possible. However, I was very impressed with the shirts from "EATOUT" for the first time in a long time. This British brand has been attracting attention in Japan for its extra-thick pants since about two years ago, but it is a long-established brand that has originally developed its collection based on "Saville Row" for more than 150 years. Excellent tailoring and the use of high quality materials that accentuate the silhouette is one of the appeals of this brand. A shirt that has a loose silhouette but never looks drab. This seems to exist, but it is hard to find. Of course, it goes great with extra-thick pants. I have to break it off while I still can.

My first impression was that the ordinary, everyday life of a person is burned into his or her mind. Alec Soth has been described by The Guardian (UK) as "America's most perfect and fascinating photographer. He may not be well known in Japan, but he is an internationally acclaimed documentary photographer and a regular member of Magnum Photos. It may seem rude to call a photographer 00-ish, but after Robert Frank and William Eggleston, he has influenced many photographers with his road trip photography. Sleeping by the Mississippi," published by Steidl in 2004 as Sos's first book of photographs, has been reprinted with the addition of two new, previously uncollected works. The cover also has a new design, taken from the same image as the first edition, but with a new crop. Please come and see it!

I always think it is very important to have a standard for yourself. It is the same for brands. For the buyer, a standard item is something that can be bought anytime at any store, and for the brand, a standard item is something that has been selling well for many seasons. The brand side positions the product as a staple that has been on sale for many seasons. I have been looking for a watch cap for a long time. The watch cap by Leuchtfeuer, a knitwear manufacturer established in Germany in 1956 that mainly manufactures sweaters, is one of the brand's staples and one of the items I want to make a staple of my own. It is a gem that is made in Germany, and all processes from yarn management to production are done in-house. The tough yet reasonable price is just right. It is made of 100% wool and comes in a wide variety of colors. I finally found it. No complaints.

Now that I've finished working on Unplugged, I'd like to go on a manga/movie binge. For now, I'm thinking "Ako-san's Lover" for manga and Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Jarmusch, and Alien for movies.
I don't wear V-neck T-shirts. I had an image of "V-neck = dress-like," and I prefer casual round-neck T-shirts. However, I was surprised to find that a V-neck can be used as a casual accent if the item is changed, as in this jacket from "roundabout. The overall tone of the jacket is elegant and basic, thanks to the stacked parts: the khaki tone that envelops the entire garment, the flap pockets, and the mid-length. The V-neckline, which is placed in the middle of the jacket, gives a casual "uncomfortable" feeling, not a "dressy" one at all, and the inner lining, which may be seen through the V-zone, is also a part of this "strange combination. I would like to enjoy this jacket, which can be called a "strange combination," by chewing it over and over like a "surume" (a kind of dried sea turtle).

The sharp but hard-hitting message, the mix of "aku" and "generic," the unique shapes...it can be said that these elements work together to make "Sasquatch Fabrics" a special brand. The 2017 AW collection is full of great items, but the one that caught our attention was the "Yoroshiku" hoodie that follows the brand logo of motorcycle parts manufacturer Yoshiara. When it comes to parody items, one's sense is tested as to where to find the original source material. The choice of this brand, which is famous for manufacturing mufflers, is a fine example of a sense of taste and a dash of bad taste that is full of delinquent spirit. We recognize this brand as one of the "Cool Japan" brands that have successfully incorporated Japanese delinquent culture (street culture) into fashion. The brand is also available in white, wine, and black.

Long ago, there were pants called "Bon Temps," which were worn by delinquents who thought the thicker the better. The thicker the pants, the better, and they competed with each other by mounting each other. But time has changed, and now delinquents are an endangered species. A stylist's guidebook says that wide pants should be avoided. It is a world apart. But it is true that wide pants are a typical item that can make you look dowdy if they are not worn well. That is why NANAMICA's skillful treatment of these pants is so remarkable. Details such as a moderately thick, shiny outer fabric, side panels, a console pocket with a zipper, and a belt made of the same fabric as the pants give the pants a sporty yet somehow classic feel. In other words, they are the "classics of the season". The high level of functionality is another characteristic of this brand. The surface has a water-repellent finish, and the reverse side is made of a functional material that is soft to the touch and warming to the touch. The only thing we would like to ask for is a spring/summer version of the same design. Also available in navy base.

Earth Wind & Fire's classic song will continue to be sung last year, this year, next year, and always the same, "Do You Remember?" I was born in September, and when I listen to this song, I remember that I am getting one year older. The music doesn't change, but people keep changing. It's so sad!
I've never worn a Barbarian lager shirt, nor have I admired them via movies, and I don't listen to US hip-hop at all, so I don't have that route either. So, I have nothing more to say about this piece of clothing than "I'm kind of curious about it. It may sound like an excuse, but I think it is a good idea to skip one logical step and choose one based on that "somehow" feeling. This is because this piece of clothing has an appeal that makes you want to choose it openly, without being formal about it. While enjoying the narrative that accompanies the clothes with a sideways glance, I will be just going along with it. The in-line pure white is also elegant, but I prefer this American color.

This summer, I wore Theatra's Wallet Pants all over the place. The ultra-thin wool fabric called "ice tropical" is airy and comfortable. They are like a pair of pants that have been with me through all of my summer memories. What about fall and winter? I was thinking, "What about fall/winter? The same type of wallet pants are made with Outlast, a temperature-controlling material (sounds like a special technique, doesn't it?). It is said to maintain the optimum temperature of 31 to 32 degrees Celsius on the surface of human skin, keeping you cool when it is hot and warm when it is cold, so it is suitable for any kind of selfish body. As for the theory, you can Google it for yourself, but this will be your partner for the coming winter.

Sweet and salty. The masterpiece "Happy Turn" is the result of a successful tug-of-war between two opposing elements, and the "Blohm" slip-ons are cooler than ever because of the ambivalent cohabitation of traditional and street style. Every person has duality and ambivalence, and the human nature is brought into relief through the negotiation of different elements...I'm getting a bit confused here, but the charm of these shoes is their exquisite, twisted docking style: leather shoes but sneaker-like, loafers but command sole, and so on. The enameled heel gives them a dress-like appearance. Whatever the case may be, it's great that they can be worn with a variety of outfits.

Autumn will soon be upon us, and the magazine "Finum Unplugged" will be released on September 22. In the "Shopping Addict" section at the beginning of the magazine, we have selected some of the things we are currently admiring, so please check it out. On the web, we pick out what we have already bought and what we plan to buy in the future.
Six months ago, I went to the exhibition of 's Fall/Winter 2017-18 collection. This was actually the first time I went to an exhibition of this brand. I had imagined only round-neck knits, but this season's zipped cardigans and ribbed scarves were also impressive, and all the items had a wonderful soft color scheme that I could not help but admire. The knit in the photo was worn by Ms. Koshikawa of the Overriver showroom, who was explaining the clothes to us. I was a little curious and asked her about it. She told me that it was actually a women's knit, and although the length was short, the wide silhouette meant that men could wear it as well. When I actually tried it on, I found that it was made of a thick wool fabric knitted with a fawn pattern, and it was comfortable to wear. I usually don't buy clothes at exhibitions, but I ended up ordering this knit in olive color. I'm looking forward to wearing it now that I should receive it soon. However, Taiyo Nagashima, an editorial staff member of "Huinum" who went with me to the exhibition, ordered the same item (and in the same color!). ), so it may be inevitable that we will wear the same outfit....

There is a restaurant that I stop by when I visit Gaienmae, Tokyo. It is Cibone, located on the second floor of a building along Aoyama-dori. Just the other day, I wandered in there after a meeting. I was looking for slacks for the fall season, and I was sure I would find something. In the men's section, the N. Hollywood slacks in the photo caught my eye first. The actual ones were wider than they looked in the picture. The silhouette tapered to the hem, and the fabric was made of a terry polyester material. Come to think of it, N. Hollywood is one of my favorite brands. When I first moved to Tokyo, I used to frequent the store on the third floor of a building on Cat Street. I was trying on clothes while thinking back to those days, and I bought these pants as recommended by the store staff. It had been a long time since I had seen "N. Hollywood," but it felt very fresh.

The "black sneakers" craze has not cooled off. Not only has it not cooled down, but it is accelerating. I have previously written about the "HuynemEditor's BlogAs I wrote in my previous article, I am still wearing a pair of all-black sneakers from DKNY as I write this. Recently, I have been eyeing the new "Campus" by "adidas Originals. I had been looking forward to the release of this model after spotting it at the select store Ships' exhibit for the fall/winter 2017 season. It comes in all-black, but there happened to be no sample available, so the photo is of the khaki type. It too has a nice, unique, calming color. The material used is pigskin, which gives it a different vibe from the usual "campus. Moreover, I am glad that the price is affordable because it is an in-line model. This fall, I'll be wearing "Campus" in all black on my feet.

Bandanas and flannel shirts are an undeniably compatible couple. Many band members and skaters have served as cupid for these two items in the past, and have demonstrated their compatibility with each other. Shoe designer Hidetaka Miyagi of MISOGRAPHY has started a new wear label named after himself, "Miyagi Hidetaka," and has proposed a new form of this combination by giving a creative arrangement while keeping such a promise firmly in mind. As you can see, the shirt is elaborately made by randomly layering used bandanas on top of a used flannel shirt that has been turned inside out and joined together. The bandanas that have been cut loose and the unevenness created by the multiple layers give the shirt a three-dimensional effect, creating an expression with a strong sense of presence. It has been a long time since I have seen a shirt with such an aura. Incidentally, the production of these shirts is limited because each one is handmade. For the time being, the shirts will be sold only on Instagram, so if you are interested, please check the contact information below!

Personally, I think overalls are the ultimate men's clothing. The way the jacket covers the body to prevent it from getting dirty, the pockets for work tools, and all the other details are meaningful, and I feel the masculinity in the appearance of gear rather than fashion. For some reason, however, overalls tend to have an image of "gentle and cute," like the older brother on educational TV. What I would like to recommend here are Captain Sunshine's deck pants. As the name suggests, these pants are based on the work pants worn by deck crews (signboard workers). They retain the military-derived rugged atmosphere, so there is no sweetness at all. The clean design and olive drab coloring are all in the spirit of manliness. After all, overalls have to be like this. Looking at this pair of overalls, you can't help but feel that they are the man's clothes. Incidentally, these overalls are made of Finx cotton, which is a high-quality Egyptian super-long-staple cotton, and the length is tapered, so they fit easily into your usual outfits. I think it will be easy to adopt for those who are new to overalls.

I spend most of my time at home on the couch. I drink beer and watch TV while lying on the couch. This self-indulgent time is the most blissful and necessary act to end the day on a good note. That's why you want to fill the area around the sofa with your favorite things as much as possible. In particular, you want to choose a pillow that you can roll around on top of the sofa with special care. That's where these Monster Paw pillows come in. After all, aren't these creepy-cute faces the best? Originally made as Halloween costumes, the faces are truly unique. The deep and tasteful look comes from the use of vintage and deadstock textiles. Combined with the warmth of the material, it gives you a relaxing and healing feeling. The vintage-like appearance of this chair would easily fit in a home with industrial furniture. However, the more I look at it, the more it looks like the Titans of Progress. Especially the two on the top row. I like it.

Hello everyone, my name is Kawahara, and I have joined Huinamu. I would like to devote myself to learning the hip selection style of our seniors, while not forgetting my individuality.
I love fringe items more than three meals a day. Fringe shirts always occupy my closet more than basic button-down shirts. I am always drawn to the glamorous look of fringed shirts. Toga Billies is one of the few brands that regularly releases fringe shirts. This season's creation is finally a gem that combines the brand's designs with the history of western motifs that have been spun over the years. The oddity of this model lies in the fact that even a single row of fringes, which are peculiar, are double-stitched, but the coloring is not obnoxious and the harshness is eliminated. The curves drawn by the fringes and pockets are as beautiful as vintage ones, and even cowboys in western movies would agree. The fabric's subtle sheen, the half buttons, which are rare for this type of shirt, and the sharpness of the tailoring of the collar and sleeves all show the attention to detail. This is a work that pays homage to the past while exquisitely sprinkling the ingenuity of "TOGA BILLYLEES. I can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Next to fringe, my favorite motif is piping. When I searched through the vast array of clothes on sale this season, I came across this shirt jacket. I was curious about it because the color of the piping was a dostrike, but once I held the actual garment in my hands, I began to see the charm of this garment one after another. The fabric is French deadstock silk 100%, and the body is sewn using a "round body" sewing method, which means there are no seams, so the comfort is, well, wonderful! The beautiful gradation of flowing colors in the silk 100% can be seen only at M's Black. The exquisite thickness is also good for both jackets and shirts, and can be used for both autumn and winter. I was also impressed by the gentlemanly appearance of the cuffs. And let's not forget about the china motif. Although the design is now accepted by the city people, the designer, Takahiro Matsushita, has been fond of wearing it for quite a long time. It must take a lot of knowledge and above all, love, to put it into such a chic outfit, encompassing the particulars of the materials and sewing. It is a delicate and sexy dress with a condensed design.

There is a saying that "fashion starts from the feet up. However, I am still a young boy, and I am not capable of wearing classic dress shoes at all. On the other hand, I don't have the ability to keep up with the latest sneaker scene. I would be stretching myself in either direction. I was in such a dilemma, and I was thrilled to be able to wear them. I had never felt the thrill of wearing a pair of sneakers that grabbed my heart and wouldn't let go. Then these shoes from MISOGRAPHY appeared before my eyes. As you can see, these shoes are a classic that has been released for some time now, and as you can see, once you see them, they have a strong presence that you will never forget. The unique ensemble created by the Vibram sole and the chic use of materials, which is the house specialty of "MISOGRAPHY," is unlike any other in the past. I had thought of it as a complete work of art, but in fact, every season they make updates to every detail, including the length of the fringe, the type of laces, and the pattern on the inside of the shoe. So, behind the designer Hideki Miyagi's one-of-a-kind, fearless craftsmanship lies an immense amount of attention to detail. What's that? Can I wear such a wonderful brand? It seems that I want to grow taller, too.
