FEATURE｜Shopping Addict May -Editor's Favorite
To all of you fierce souls who have survived the battle against May illness. The heavens have begun to announce the arrival of summer. The best way to inspire your body and mind, which have become so withdrawn, is, above all, to go shopping! Before the rainy season arrives and you stop going out of the house, let's GO SHOPPING!
This summer is going to be the busiest in recent years. We have a lot of big events coming up, and they will continue nonstop until October. We have a lot of fun things in the works, so please stay tuned.
Siota's First Collection
."AH.HPerhaps it is because I have been pursuing "normality" in my daily life in the "Mere Old Man" that I have been interested in "that side" of things.Just a few months agoI used to say that design is supreme, but human feelings are ephemeral (someone else's problem). The brand introduced here is the 19AW debut of "Shiota," a brand that is sure to be a topic of conversation for its presence and quality, which are not unlike those of its first collection. The brand was established by a sewing factory and fabric manufacturing and sales company of the same name based in Okayama, Japan, and in other words, the brand has absolute confidence in its materials and workmanship. Until a decade ago, such brands were called "factory brands," but this term is not so common nowadays. The brand with a solid production background has incorporated modern design into its products, and the result is a seamless finish in every aspect. In addition, "SIOTA" is absolutely confident in the use of suvin cotton, which is the finest extra-long fine cotton. We use it in abundance in all of our items. Please take a moment to feel it. You will be surprised at the smoothness that is comparable to cashmere.

Souvenir T-shirts outside of clothing stores
There is a saying that "the rice cake is the cake shop," but I don't think that can be said to be true when it comes to T-shirts. There are many really cute T-shirts that are sold outside clothing stores as souvenirs. Beauty & Youth" has been focusing on this and regularly collects and releases a variety of T-shirts from all over the world. Since I'm here, I thought I'd give you a brief introduction to all the different types of T-shirts in this season's lineup. On the upper left is a bookshop where Parisian artists gather.Ofr.," and Nakagami's Brooklyn-based music-related store, "Turntable Lab (Turntable Lab), the upper right corner is an authentic Sanuki Udon noodle shop in Harajuku.noodles."

There are people who look good, aren't there? Someone who looks good no matter what he or she wears or does. Satoru Taneichi, formerly of BEAMS and now involved in a wide variety of creative work, may be one such person. He is the author of a series of articles in the magazine "Oceans.Revealing the seeds of the seed cageI heard that Mr. Taneichi has many fans of his loose style, which is well-known in the "Taneichi" series. In fact, I am a secret "Taneichi sympathizer" myself, and have been reading his Series every time I see him.

The North Face poncho
It's time to start thinking about ponchos. Yes, the outdoor festival season has arrived. However, I only go to one or two festivals every year. Although I don't really show up to the "scene" of the festival, I'm still attracted to these ponchos. First of all, I like the shape of the poncho when you put it on, and the embracing feeling it gives when you wrap your entire backpack in it is also very comfortable, and, above all, the fact that you don't have to carry an umbrella is the best thing ever. The convenience of this type of backpack has become widely known in recent years, perhaps due to the popularity of festivals, and many brands have released them, but this year, the "The North Face" has released a new version of the "The North Face" that is more comfortable to wear and more comfortable to carry.tag-an-poncho." is the perfect choice. The material is waterproof and breathable, and ventilation is located on the sides and back to release moisture inside the garment efficiently. The main feature is that it comes with sleeves. There are those who prefer it with sleeves and those who prefer it without sleeves, but I prefer it with sleeves. Since umbrellas are not evolving anytime soon, I think it is enough to have a poncho as a rain gear.

Phoenix Rain Jacket
The rainy season is just around the corner. . hot and humid, hot and dreary. What you need to spend such a rainy season comfortably is a waterproof and breathable rain jacket. However, since I already own a so-called "rain jacket," I thought it would be nice to try a pattern that sings as much as this one. The material used is DRY BARRIER® 20000, which is waterproof and breathable with a water pressure resistance of 20,000 mm. The material is fully seam-sealed to prevent rain from entering at any point. While the product is equipped with such full-fledged functions, it has a bold, all-over pattern design that is not typical of an outdoor manufacturer, and its motif is the magnificent natural scenery of the Caucasus Mountains in Europe, which is also nice. Phoenix, a Japanese outdoor manufacturer, is not to be underestimated.

Salomon Shorts
Due to unseasonably low temperatures, snowfall, and icy conditions, the last trail running festival of 2019, Ultra-Trail Mount Fuji, ended unexpectedly. I had been going at my own pace throughout the race, and was just beginning to think that I had finally figured out how to deal with long trails after my past failures, when I was informed that the race had been canceled. During the race, which was full of ups and downs, I realized that these shorts were very useful. In addition to the length, elasticity, and excellent storage capacity thanks to the storage system at the waist, what is personally important to me is the side pockets. . This is the only thing that eliminates the feeling of being out of reach, and it also works well enough as a storage for now. And yet, the price is reasonable enough to justify an adult purchase. Seriously, I recommend it .

Targ gym sack
Lately, I have been running with what I call a simple knapsack. I put my luggage in, squeeze the straps, tie the waist with the extra strap, and start running. Depending on the weight of my luggage, I can get by surprisingly well. However, most knapsacks do not have a cute design. . If you are going to go to the trouble of using a knapsack, you want to choose the best one you can afford. This is where the gym sacks of Targ, a bag manufacturer born out of Helinox, come in. The main fabric is made of lightweight and durable 75D ripstop, and while it weighs only 150 grams, it has a surprising 17-liter capacity. A mesh pocket on the front allows you to see the contents of the bag, and it also provides additional storage capacity. It also has an attractive outdoor appearance that sets it apart from other so-called knapsacks.

Welby's Bottle
I rarely carry a drink with me on my regular jog. . because it gets in the way. There is running water in the park. . However, when the weather is this hot, there is always the fear of heat stroke. To be honest, it is a hassle to find a park with running water in a strange place. If that is the case, it is a good idea to have at least the bare minimum of provisions with you. However, it is desirable to have something that both looks good and functions well. . like the "Shake Hands" running bottle from "Welby. The 330-milliliter bottle is small enough to hold in your hand, and the center of the bottle snaps into the waistband of your pants, so you can carry it empty-handed. The adorable logo design and the color variations of the bottle caps show a good sense of style. Moreover, the company can even print your own original designs on the bottle caps! . If you go to the trouble, I would like to make a handsome version of HOUYHNHNM RUNNING CLUB♡.

Ai Madoka's first manga work, "HAKUA," was wonderful. I was impressed by the book's binding, which used a lot of special printing, paper of various textures, and other features that only a book can offer. It is completely beyond the realm of manga. It's worth a look.
Pats Pants Pants
Even though it is still May, it has been over 30 degrees Celsius every day recently. Even I, who like to wear layers of clothes, am wearing light clothes. However, if I wear only a shirt or a long T-shirt, it is too simple and lacks something, and personally, it doesn't fit in. . In such a case, you must choose pants with a pattern that makes an impact. The photo is from "Pats Pants," a New York-based brand specializing in pants. The brand is said to be headed by a textile designer, and each item in its lineup is made using special techniques such as hand painting and bleaching. Each pattern is original and artistic. . These pants have the power to pull together a whole look with just one pair of pants. The loose, baggy silhouette with two tucks is also easy to move in.

Nepenthes NY x Swicock RAC
Slip-on sneakers are the go-to footwear for the slouchy. No need to tie laces, and the rough look is just right for the season. . Some say that sandals, which are easier to wear, are better, but when it comes to walkability and cushioning, slip-on sneakers are the way to go. But what about the "RAC" from Swicok, shown here? While based on a moc sandal, it is equipped with a sole unit rich in cushioning that makes it as comfortable as a sneaker. The toe-covered upper and ankle straps provide a great fit. . It also has a strange look that is a cross between a sandal and a sneaker. . I think these may be the ultimate summer footwear for the slouchy. .

Willy Chavarria and Willy Chavawism Denim
Denim has always been a favorite material of mine, but I feel that it is too far away from my current mood, or it seems too formal, so I have not worn it for a long time. Of course, the American styles of denim, such as "ranchers" and "workers," are precious, but for me personally, they are not what I'm looking for right now. Then I found the shirts and jeans you see here. They are made by Willie Chavarria, whose background is in gangster and Chicano culture. Both shirts and jeans have the current big silhouettes, but the work-inspired details give them a casual look without being over-the-top. Moreover, the model names are "BIG DADDY BUTTON DOWN SHIRT" and "BAD BOY JEANS. . This is also a good thing, because they have a masculine look to them. . If you are going to wear denim now, this is the item that fits you best.

Nice glasses Michio × Maru no Megane
I usually wear 38mm lens diameter round glasses. I have several similar types of glasses in rotation and have been using them for more than 10 years. Perhaps it is because I have been wearing the same kind of glasses for many years, but thanks to that, they fit well with my face. I even thought that as long as I had this one, I didn't need anything else, but to be honest, I got tired of it. . Therefore, I decided to make a drastic change and chose these hexagonal frames. I tried to reverse the handle from a perfect circle to a hexagonal one at once, but it fit in surprisingly well due to the classical frame shape. The luxurious samplatina material helps to create a tasteful look. Frames that are unique, therefore, are perfect for when you want to change your mind. Besides, if you're going to the trouble of wearing eyeglasses, it's always more fun to try out different frames.

Poche's bottle opener
As a beer drinker who prefers bottled beer to canned beer, a good bottle opener is indispensable. . I love the sound it makes when the bottle pops open, and the indescribable feeling when the stopper pops out. The "POSHU" is one of my recent favorites, and I bought it because it looks like a tool you would find in an ice cream shop. After trying many things, I decided that if we are going to have a good sound championship, the Corona Beer is the winner. The stopper also flies 4 or 5 meters, so you can use it at a banquet or party and have a good time. By the way, to make a good sound, hold the bottle firmly, lift the handle a little, and then squeeze the handle as hard as you can. Don't hesitate.

Short-sleeved shirts in descendant
The basic colors of black, navy, and khaki have become more and more popular, and the desire for colorful items has naturally increased. As if in response to this trend, many colorful items, especially patterned items, have been released by all brands over the past few seasons. This shirt is one such item, and since "Dissident" is well-known for its "special fabrics," it is no surprise that the fabric is of high quality. This open-collar Cuban shirt is made of a cotton fabric with a fluffy texture. The embroidery on the front, cuffs, patch pockets, and back is derived from the petroglyphs (hieroglyphs) of the Hawaiian natives. . And the textile of a beetle with a beautiful shell is ink-jet printed on cotton satin fabric for this open-collar shirt. The relaxed box silhouette with the all-over print shows off the masterwork of MASA-SCULP's drawings. Both are personal masterpieces of this season that are expected to be used immediately.

Patagonia Baggies Shorts
The three sacred treasures of summer are T-shirts , shorts, and beeswax. Once you get used to this, it's the last thing you want to do. You won't even want to try wearing anything else. Shorts, in particular, are great because they have both a functional aspect that allows you to be active at any time of the day and a look that can be used for everyday purposes. At the top of the list are Patagonia's "baggy shorts," an item that has become synonymous with the brand. . I usually wear these on sunny days in midsummer. This year, I decided to use a pattern instead of a single color. Incidentally, I personally wear these baggy shorts in two ways: with the mesh liner inside cut off or with the liner attached. The seven pairs of baggy shorts I have in different colors are all the former. . If you have never cut it out, please try it and see if you are fooled.

Novesta rubber boots
The shoe brand "Novesta" was born in Slovakia, Eastern Europe, from a manufacturer that has been making shoes for many years. The company's track record of making sneakers for military use around the world has been proven by the quality of its durable, easy-to-wear shoes that can be worn for a long time. These rubber boots are a reissue of a modern version of the Chelsea boot-type rubber boots that were left as archives at the company's factory, which has been producing rubber boots for various countries around the world on an OEM basis since its establishment. The side gore style is a unique approach of this brand, which has its own rubber production facility in the factory. Since the sole and upper are one piece, they are highly flexible, so you can wear them like sneakers, and if anything, they are resistant to rain. It can be said to be the strongest ally.

Ricardo Beverly Hills suitcases
Suitcases are really quite expensive. Some can be found under the eaves of a grocery store for a few thousand yen, while brand-name suitcases can cost over 100,000 yen. In this respect, Ricardo Beverly Hills offers an excellent balance of price, quality, and design. Especially for a suitcase that uses aluminum for the exterior, this price seems affordable. The functionality is also impeccable, with quiet 360-degree rotation on double wheels and a TSA combination lock. （The lifetime warranty (with conditions) is another sign of confidence in the quality of the product. Although this up-and-coming brand has only just arrived in Japan, it is actually a long-established brand founded in 1978 in its home country of the United States. Because durability and safety are essential for suitcases, choosing a brand with a long history and buying a sense of security ... this is also wise consumption. There are many other models available, so please check their website.

Nanga sleeping bag
Why a sleeping bag in this season? . I hear what you are saying. However, the temperature drops in the mountains, so a sleeping bag is standard equipment for all seasons. In mountaineering, it is said that "lightness is justice," and in this respect, the "MINIMARHYTHM 180" sleeping bag is a piece of "justice. While standard sleeping bags weigh over 1 kg, this sleeping bag weighs only 415 g! Climbing a mountain is a battle of strength and stamina. The lighter your pack is, the farther you can go and the more energy you can spare to enjoy the scenery in detail. Using this lightweight sleeping bag as a starting point, my goal this year is to face my pack, eliminate waste, and enjoy climbing UL mountains with simple packs.

South 2 West 8 Coach Jacket
Coach jackets are an eternal staple item for skaters and skaters alike, but the flimsy fabrics that are commonly used give off a "kid's" look, and I, being old enough, can't wear one. However, once converted to the classic oil wax fabric like this jacket, it has an exquisitely grown-up feel. This is a digression, but I think it is similar to a cover song that has been sublimated into a more attractive work than the original. The use of corduroy for the collar, the design of the pockets, and other details are chic. Rather than trying to follow a trend that is out of fashion, the designer assesses the pros and cons of what everyone is used to seeing and updates it to fit the modern age. The reason for the popularity of "South 2 West 8" is that its eye for detail and precise judgment is as good as it gets.

Gregory sunglasses case
The Oakley sunglasses I introduced in the last issue of this newsletter are doing very well. Although the mirrored lenses are a bit embarrassing, they are the only sunglasses that do not hurt at all, even after wearing them for hours on end. So, what should I do to keep these sunglasses for a long time? I chose this case because I knew I had to use a protective eyeglass case instead of the thin cloth bag that came with the glasses. I was also attracted by the convenience of the padded reinforcement on all sides and the hook/loop straps that can be attached to a backpack belt if it can be tucked into a bag. . It's a pain in the ass to open a backpack to store sunglasses. The sunglasses come in a variety of colors, including camouflage as well as the black one shown in the photo, making them the perfect accessory to add to your bag.

During GW, I went to a live concert by singer-songwriter Tabito Nanao. The place was Ebisu Garden Hall. It was one of the tours for his album "Stray Dogs" released last year, and it was a band set, which is rare for Mr. Nanao. Slow Slow Train", which is also included in the album, is a great song. No matter how many times I listen to it, it still makes my heart tighten....
TUDOR watch "Black Bay Bronze
TUDOR" has been the talk of the town since its full-fledged arrival in Japan last year. In addition to its name value, Tudor's watches are very attractive because they use high-performance, high-precision movements developed in-house. The point is the rugged design that tickles men's fancy. They go well with casual outfits and add a cool finishing touch to your usual style. . The photo shows the new "Black Bay Bronze," which was just released in March this year. The most distinctive features of the watch are the bronze case and the exquisite "slate gray" color of the dial. Based on the "Black Bay," the brand's flagship model inspired by divers' watches, the watch has a vintage taste and a calm atmosphere. The combination with the strap with a bronze buckle is also wonderful. They are already in stores, so if you are interested, we recommend you to check them out as soon as possible.

The dining room, food, sundries, furniture, clothing, hotel, etc., are all spread out in a space that truly embodies the words "food, clothing, and shelter. When I visited this preview, a rag shirt from MUJI LABO caught my eye. It is characterized by its oversized form. At a quick glance, it appears to be a basic design, but it has been made with the trends of the times in mind. It is made of a slightly thicker fabric with a fine Milano rib knit, but because it is made of polyester, it dries quickly after washing. The most notable feature is the price. The price setting that allows you to buy it without hesitation can be said to be typical of MUJI. In addition to the black shown in the photo, off-white and navy are also available.

Original goods of Shinjuku Suehirotei
Recently, I have been addicted to going to Yose. A friend of mine took me to see a rakugo performance, and the stories told by up-and-coming rakugo artists are easy to understand and interpreted in a modern way, as if I were watching a comedy. At Yose, you can enjoy not only Rakugo, but also Kodan, Manzai, Kijutsu, Taikagura, and more. If you go now, I recommend Shinjuku Suehiro-tei. There are both chair seats and plank seats, and the rakugo is best enjoyed in an atmosphere filled with emotion. I chose the original goods of "Shinjuku Suehirotei" this time. The fan was painted by Bunji Katsura, who himself used the same fan in his later years. The woodblock-printed Senja-fuda (Senja-fuda, a type of paper used in the Edo period) still retains the fragrance of the ink. The tenugui (hand towel) with the Shinjuku Suehiro-tei crest and plaid pattern, and the yunomi (Japanese tea cup) with the Seven Deities of Good Luck made in Tajimi, Gifu, are also wonderful. If you are interested in these items, please visit the shop. You can also buy them online, but it is definitely more economical to buy them directly from the store.

I think the reason for this is that this item itself has a big punch, so the feeling of "I've got it on! I suddenly thought that the blush was due to the presence of the item. Each of the other types also have their own unique characteristics. All of them are patterns taken from the archives of the 90's and have been changed to a big silhouette.

Wonderland Long T
There is a photographer named Sam Nee who followed the band members of the 80s, such as The Smiths and The Pastels. His representative work, "A SCENE IN BETWEEN," is full of young people wearing T-shirts with ribbed collars and sleeves that have been cut up and thin-pitch stripes. Now, when it comes time to look for these in Japan, you may be surprised to find them. I think they are somewhat retro and classic items, so even if you find something similar, it may not fit the Japanese body shape, or the sizing may not be in line with today's trends, etc. . In this respect, this item from "Wonderland" not only meets the requirements, but also has a twist that matches the times. The silhouette is slightly dropped down to the arms, which are set thicker. The cuffs are also cut off high! If this item had been sold in the UK in the 80's, it would have been popular.

Based on the "Whole Earth Catalog," a magazine for hippies published in the U.S. in 1968, the word "Catalog" was changed to "catastrophe," meaning a catastrophe, in the text. catastrophe. . putting aside the content, we can't help but grin at how cool the parody is.

I had never really thought about the compatibility of colors and people, but when I was waiting for someone in Shibuya the other day, it was a good way to pass the time by being aware of passersby. You look super yellow! You look great in yellow! Some people looked at me like, "You look great in yellow," while others looked at me like, "How much blue doesn't suit you? Some people are strangers to me, but I have never talked to them. I've never talked to these people before, but the fact that I think so many different things about them shows how much color affects my impression of them. I digress for a long time, but then I remembered "Hanes colors" released by Haynes, and I was shocked that the king of T-shirts would come out with a series of 24 colors. Oh, no, no, no. I'm buying only black again. I've been putting the brakes on my buying since last season, but this should be a quick and easy way for me to try it out.

I visited Sado Island , a remote island in Niigata Prefecture, for an interview. The seafood caught in the Sea of Japan is exquisite, and the rice grown in terraced rice paddies is glutinous. It takes only a little over three hours to get there from Tokyo. It was a great time, even though I was working. I felt so relaxed. More details will be in HOUYHNHNM later.
Black Diamond Lantern
I was adamant that only fire would make a good lantern when camping, and I thought LED lanterns were just plain tasteless. . But they were bulky and cumbersome. I had to fill it with gasoline, pump it hard, and when it went out, repeat the process. The other day at a camping trip, the pumping part was broken, and in the end, it didn't light... . I don't want that to happen again, so from now on I'm going to use Black Diamond's "Moji Charging Station. It can be placed by the table or hung in the tent, and it has a USB port for charging devices. And above all, the light color is warm, so it is soft. . It doesn't ruin the atmosphere of the camp. It can be used for 150 hours at minimum illumination.

Norona Jacket
There are many deer and bears in my hometown, and I hear gunshots even in my normal life. At a friend's house, the skin of a bear that his friend's father had killed was skinned and used as carpet in the house. However, as a matter of course, the hunting market in Japan is extremely small and there is little variation when it comes to clothing. On the other hand, there are many hunting wears in Europe and America (especially in the U.S.), and many of them are highly functional and well-designed. Many people wear it as street wear. The hunting jacket from "Norona" is introduced here. It has excellent storage capacity , and the length is long enough to keep your legs cool. In addition, the fabric is moist and comfortable to wear even though it is completely waterproof to prevent prey from escaping due to the sound of the clothes rubbing against each other. We have a feeling that it will be useful for any occasion.

AIE pants
When it comes to going to work in casual clothes, I tend to choose something versatile. Because of my job, I meet all kinds of people, and it's a struggle to figure out what to wear every day. When it comes to pants, in particular, I tend to go for the basics, thinking about how they will go with my top. I am a fashionista. However, sometimes I want to wear pants that make a statement. That's why I'm wearing AIE's crazy pants. Every season, I have repeatedly given up on them after struggling with them, but this year's crazy pants have a nice color. They make a statement or not, depending on how you coordinate them. Surprisingly, it is one that can be easily matched with any top.

Hat by Takayuki Kijima
. surely, I wear a hat about 200 days a year. I would say most of the time when I go outside. But when it comes to the lineup, most of them are either a woven cap or a beret. I don't wear other shapes very often. . As mentioned above, I lack the spirit to challenge myself. But this hat from "Kijima Takayuki" has just the right amount of tension and wrinkles, so it is neither too loose nor too tight, creating an exquisite atmosphere. It doesn't look weird when folded, so you can put it in your pocket when you are not wearing it. I also like the fact that it is cotton and can be washed by hand. By the way, it's not official, but you can machine wash it with no problem.
