What is truly necessary and what is not, as highlighted by the Corona disaster. Only the former can survive in the future.
The brand "Yamauchi" introduced in this issue is a brand that makes products with the utmost care and attention to detail. We had never heard of Yamauchi before, but an e-mail sent to our editorial department the other day made us aware of its existence.
Site.The emotional quality of the work shows that they are serious about what they are doing.
The 2021SS collection has just been released, and I'd like to pick out a few items that caught my attention.
Salt shrink water-repellent, military coat
This coat is made of high-density stretch cotton that has been bio-processed to give it a soft texture and then tumbled to give it fullness.
The originally high-density cotton material has been salt-shrinked to increase its density, and a water-repellent coating has been applied to make it windproof.
In addition, hakomura shibori, a type of arimatsu shibori with a random and unique pattern, is applied.
The careful sewing technique that is one of the characteristics of Yamauchi stands out, and the military-style coat with many details has become an iconic item among Yamauchi's products.
Plain weave marginal density normule sing wool tailored jacket
¥130,000+TAX
Tailored jacket in SP140'S, a no-mulesing wool (woven from certified wool that has not been "mulesed," meaning the skin and flesh of the lamb's hindquarters has not been cut off to prevent insect infestation of the sheep), This tailored jacket is made of a fabric that challenges the density limit of plain weave.
The fabric, which is raised to its maximum density on low-speed shuttle looms of a long-established loom with a long history in Bishu, has natural water-repellent properties. In addition, the breaded and woven fabric is so different from common woolen fabrics that at first glance it could be mistaken for a nylon material.
Yamauchi's jackets do not use shoulder pads, and the tailoring is repeatedly fine-tuned each season to express masculinity without insisting on the expression of the shoulder area.
The silhouette is simple, and the lapel width is moderate, making it a dress that can be worn in any situation. He seems to have a lot of feelings about this material and is thinking of various updates in the future.
Linen knit T-shirt with salt shrinkage finish
¥20,000+TAX
This knit is made of French linen, knitted in a domestic factory. This is also full of attention to detail. In order to preserve the natural luster and feel of the fabric, it is not siliqueted to stabilize it, which causes the fabric itself to shrink and stretch without stabilizing.
The salt shrinking process is used to force the fabric to shrink, resulting in a completely new material with a unique wrinkled and stiff texture that is masculine and retains the rustic feel of unsilken linen knitwear.
The collar, cuffs, and hem are made with a three-needle matagi technique, and the middle stitch is made with a No. 30 thread color scheme. The meticulous sewing that is typical of [Yamauchi] is sublimated as a design.
9/10-length hemp suede pants
¥45,000+TAX
There is also a pair of pants that is packed with attention to detail.
Hemp, which has been popular in Japan since ancient times, is a perfect material for the Japanese climate, especially in summer, because of its quick-drying, deodorizing, and antibacterial properties. The drawback is that hemp feels rough on the skin, so the surface is slightly brushed to break up the fibers and make it softer.
In addition, a surface treatment was applied to eliminate the luster characteristic of hemp, resulting in a look reminiscent of suede by removing the luster.
What do you think? It is hard to say without actually holding and touching them in one's hands, but I would say that they are a powerful collection.
HOUYHNHNM would like to continue to support those people who are working sincerely to make clothes in a simple and honest way.
