LE shirts, T-shirts, pants
At last, or rather, at long last, the original line of "Reshop" is starting up. The "reshop" used to be a store that offered clothing (and side dishes) with a quirk or two, but now the standard item (rice) is finally on the shelves, and expectations are high, no matter how you look at it. HOUYHNHNM's recently had the pleasure of reporting on LE, which is supervised by Keijiro Komori of Komori. At this point, my expectations for this item exceeded the "K" mark. As a standard item, there is no doubt that it has a somewhat basic appearance, but it is anything but ordinary. Shirts and T-shirts are available in three different widths and three different lengths, and pants are available in two different inseam depths. For more informationThis articleIn.

Aesop's toothpaste and mouthwash
There are various times when you realize the power of design, and I strongly feel this when I place Aesop's items around the washbasin. Isn't it amazing how a single product can bring a sense of tension to a space? Until now, the only product we have had in our home was hand wash, but from now on, we will be using the new toothpaste, "Aesop's Toothpaste," as well.Aesop Toothpaste," and then there's the rest.Mouthwash 18. I am going to introduce "Aesop" as well. And of course, the great thing about "Aesop" is not only its design. Aesop Toothpaste contains essential oils of anise, spearmint, and clove, creating a unique flavor that sets it apart from conventional toothpaste. It does not contain fluoride, and its scientifically backed ingredients help alleviate cavities and plaque buildup. I think it depends on how much people are willing to spend on these daily consumables, but I am of the opinion that I should spend more because it makes me feel better. I am of the opinion that it is best to spend money on these daily consumables because it makes life more pleasant. After all, isn't that the best thing?

Keen Sandals
I got the sandals I mentioned in this column the other day and thought I was all set for summer, but I have found something cool again. They are what we call "bee-sans," and they are called "bee-sans" by "Keen.Ymeah H2The most unique feature of the "M" is the toe protection that guards your toes. According to the comments of users, once you wear these sandals, you will be afraid to wear other sandals. I wondered if it was true, but I thought it might be true when going to festivals or other crowded places. Personally, I look for a certain low-tech, laid-back feel in beesand, and I feel that these sandals hit the perfect balance between that and functionality. And yet, they are also functional. Hmmm, isn't this too good?

Stussy sofa
Since we moved to a new house and have a larger living room, I have been thinking that I would like to hang a lot of pictures and photos in the room. However, I haven't been able to find any art that I like, and the room is still tasteless and odorless, with only a few plants and such. It was while I was thinking that way that I came across this sofa. It is a fabric version of a design by California-based artist Jeff McFetridge, with whom Stussy has had a longstanding relationship. The sofa itself is a seamless fabric lineup of the classic "Bentwood Daybed" by California-based Modernica. With such a large area of cute artwork, the impression of the room would change dramatically. . The problem is that we already have a large sofa sitting on the floor in our living room. . Hmmm, I'm torn.

Topo Athletic running shoes
One of the best parts of running is being able to experience the origins and philosophy of each brand through your own body. The concept of Topo Athletic, an American shoe manufacturer founded in 2013, is to create "more natural running shoes. The shoes are characterized by three elements: a low drop that enables natural foot movement, a lightweight design that provides comfort, and a wide silhouette that allows natural movement of the toes. In addition, the insole is made with the help of "Ortholite" and the outsole with "Vibram". Furthermore, while organically combining each of these functions, the understated design that does not over-emphasize the functionality is also attractive. Topo Athletic" is a brand to keep an eye out for in the future.

Barber's hand towel
They are not as small as a handkerchief , nor as bulky as a towel. The most convenient Japanese towel is the tenugui, which is not as small as a handkerchief and not as bulky as a towel. . Unfortunately, however, authentic designs are the norm. If you are going to go to the trouble of wearing one, a graphic design that makes you feel good is desirable. This is exactly the case with "Barber," a company from Hasami-cho, Nagasaki Prefecture, a ceramics production center, that develops unique products based on free ideas. The graphics of NONCHELEEE, Shuntaro Takeuchi, and other unique individuals are beautifully dyed without sacrificing the breathability and quick-drying properties of tenugui hand towels. The production is traditional, and the fabrics are made of traditional cotton. The production is traditional, but with a modern sense of style. They will be useful in every situation, from daily use to activities such as running, trail running, and even visiting hot spring baths.

Echo flip-flop
Summer is all about beesand. They are quick to put on, comfortable, and easy to wear. In the hot and humid Japanese summer, there is no other type of footwear that goes so well with summer. However, if you are going to go to the trouble, you may want to choose a type that is thoroughly particular about function, material, and design. Take, for example, these shoes from Denmark's " Echo. The EVA footbed is filled with elastic, shock-absorbing polyurethane, and the sole combines high flexibility and cushioning for outstanding comfort. The overwhelming functionality and chic surface distinguish them from so-called cheap beesans. Although we tend to compromise with beesans, this year we thought it would be good to take a different and more sophisticated approach than in previous years.

Caravan dry sack
First aid kits, portable toilets, bear bells, lights, rain tops and middle layers, and many other essentials are required for trail running. In Japan's highest race, Ultra-Trail Mount Fuji, there are as many as 19 items. A staff bag is useful for organizing such items. However, the problem with roll-top bags, which are waterproof, is that they leave a small amount of air in the bag. However, Caravan's "NeoShell SILIC Cordura Dry Sack" is different. The bottom of the bag is lined with Polartec's waterproof and breathable NeoShell, so when the opening is tightened and squeezed, any air that remains inside can be pulled out from the bottom. Thanks to this, compact packing is achieved easily and quickly. This is an eye-opening idea that has been realized in a convenient way. You can't afford not to buy it.

Toast soy
The world of sneakers is ever-evolving. New technologies are being developed every day, and each season, new and surprising models are released. This is true not only for the latest high-tech sneakers, but also for retro vulcanized sneakers. Although not often focused on due to its classic manufacturing method, the comfort of these sneakers has been dramatically improved by adjusting the rubber and lasts. The sneakers made by "Toast," a newcomer in the sneaker world, are exceptional. The feeling of comfort when you put your foot into the shoe, the smooth movement of the flexing part made possible by the soft rubber, and the fact that the sneaker is not equipped with the latest technology, but is made with the latest technology. They may not be equipped with the latest technology, but they are surprisingly comfortable. The "soy" is the brand's first slip-on model. The silhouette is sharp and beautiful, and the color scheme of the double-layered elastic tape is also excellent. As a low-tech sneaker fan, I can say that this is a very good pair for me.

Panama Hat by Solaris Hatmakers and Co.
What a beautiful Panama hat! The well-proportioned silhouette of the hat is made of finely woven Ecuadorian toquilla grass. The crown is pie-shaped and the top is softly rounded. This beautifully shaped hat is fine just to look at, but when you put it on, it is even more eye-catching. I like all the hats made by Solaris Hat Makers, but this hat in particular attracted me because it exudes sex appeal and elegance. Although it is a little expensive, it is not a high price considering that it will be the star of the line in the coming season when people will be wearing lighter clothes. By the way, the model name of this Panama hat is "MOONLIGHT. This is a good sense to name a sunshade item as "moonlight". It is just right for summer, isn't it?

New Cal items
Cal" is an up-and-coming brand that specializes in humorous use of materials and excellent sewing. I first became aware of Kalu through a conversation with a friend. In fact, it is both a brand name and a gallery name, and the gallery in Higashi-Azabu regularly holds special exhibitions, and my interest in this unique approach has only grown stronger. The newest item from "Cal" is a set-up with a very nice coloring. The yellow is made of fuzzy wool felt, and the blue is made of hand-woven wool, a slightly stiff fabric made of hand-spun yarn, dyed by hand, and then woven by hand. The silhouette is exquisite, with just the right amount of weight and a stooping silhouette, and the clean, contemporary look is impressive, with a hint of American casual and work in the background. I hope to interview the designer someday.

Ping Pong Hip Bag
The word "sustainable" has finally become a household word. The word means "sustainable," meaning "capable of maintaining and sustaining the present society, lifestyle, economy, management, etc. into the future." Many brands and companies in the field of fashion have come to share this idea. Ping Pong, based in Germany, is one such brand. Based on the concept of a lifestyle brand for people around the world with a creative mindset, the brand offers items made from materials made from used plastic bottles. The most important thing is the two dots that are common to all items. I thought I saw a new form of design in the way the brand is recognized not by its logo or brand name (pinqponq), but by the two dots.

Rubber bracelet
As the weather gets warmer and we start wearing lighter clothes, we want to wear accessories such as watches, necklaces, rings, and bracelets. Perhaps it is because we want to show our individuality somewhere. Rubber" is a brand of accessories that are all handmade by skilled silver artisans in Tasco, Mexico, a town famous for its silver production. Incidentally, Tasco is also famous as a town where skilled silver craftsmen who make accessories for world-famous jewelers such as Cartier and Tiffany & Co. live. Personally, I was attracted by the simple yet warm design, and even in a casual outfit like a T-shirt and shorts, this bracelet would look great with it. I recommend it!

Porter x Good Ol' Multi Vest
I love the stance of "Good Ol," which does not simply imitate old things, but rather creates products that reflect the culture and atmosphere of the time through its own filter. The brand has many items that make me grin every time I see them, and this time, too, I was impressed. This item is based on the multifunctional vests used by rescue teams in the snowy mountains. The main feature is that all the colorful bags are combined with the vest. A standard mesh version of the coin purse. A chest bag that is also used by the U.S. Special Forces. A shoulder pouch with a detachable shoulder section, perfect for storing small items. And a big shoulder bag that joins at the back, all of which are sold separately and can of course be used as stand-alone items as well. However, just as you might be tempted to buy all the separately sold parts of a plastic model, you might want to complete this one anyway. I think this is a good product that tickles such a man's fancy.

There are a lot of cool things out there, but I can't stop asking myself if they will fit in my "neutral" home, which is not vintage or anything like that. .

It is no secret that clocks are now not only a tool for recording time, but also a tool for recording life logs. For example, it is simply fun to use log data to unravel sleep, which used to be a black box. I used to take my watch off only when I went to bed, but now I only take it off when I am charging it. The fact that this model is a few millimeters smaller in thickness and size is no small advantage, since it now feels more like a "daily life companion. The belt is extremely firm and feels like it fits perfectly on the wrist. The comfort of the belt is such that it can be compared to a Rolls Royce, but this belt could be compared to a "second skin. In this age when health is a top priority for all mankind, the most important thing is the motivation to keep up a daily sports routine. This watch will help me to maintain it.

Straw hats are becoming a summer staple, and there are so many variations! There are a wide variety of materials and shapes, such as paper hats and can-can hats, but looking around the straw hat world, I am currently in the mood for Asian hats like this one. SOUBOU is a domestic brand whose production background is mainly in the Kyushu area, and they make use of traditional techniques to create products that reflect the culture, environment, and history of Japan. The hats, which have a nostalgic, relaxed look, are also handmade one by one. The hats are also handmade one by one.

Yosemite Camera Strap Phone Case
Why do outdoor goods tickle men's fancy so much? It is probably because the rational design, created according to function, leaves no room for anything that is not clear. Climbing ropes are one such example. The colorful patterns that were created to increase visibility, or rather, the patterns that had to be made colorful, are art created by science. I was so fascinated by it that I have fond memories of using it as a string to connect the balls of a pachinko ball. The "Yosemite Camera Strap" is a well-known item for camera enthusiasts that uses a climbing rope as a strap. Now it is a smartphone strap with an iPhone case. If you wear it diagonally like a sakosh or wrap it around your hand, you can free yourself from the gravity of your phone that you feel in your pants pocket. It is surprisingly stress-free.

Puebko's curtain
Puebko is the place that many people turn to for their home furnishings. The charm of Puebko is its one-of-a-kind taste, which differs from mid-century and Scandinavian styles in terms of cuteness and miscellaneousness.

As evidenced by the fact that they have been circulating in the vintage clothing market for a long time, if you get one now, you will definitely be able to continue wearing it in the future. Moreover, if you wear it with love and care, you can enjoy the tasteful texture of old clothes little by little.

The surface material is polycarbonate , which is resistant to impact. The wheels, which are the most fragile part of the bag, are also very strong, and they do not warp or wobble easily, so the bag moves smoothly. Until now, I used to carry only one large bag when traveling on business or on trips of one or two nights. However, my shoulders were stiff and it was a hassle to carry and set down my luggage while waiting for my flight. With this bag, my stress and fatigue will be greatly reduced.

Sandals are inevitably going to look too casual. Beesan sandals and sports sandals both have this problem. On the other hand, leather sandals can be uncomfortable to wear barefoot and smell bad. To solve this problem, I would like to recommend sandals by "Jojo," which was born in Gion, Kyoto. The mere sound of "Gion, Kyoto" is enough to attract me to these sandals, and they are both comfortable to wear and look good. The front sole is made of special rubber, and the insole is made of "Ultrasuede," a high-grade man-made suede developed by Toray Industries, Inc. This "Ultrasuede" material is smooth to the touch, and the surface of the foot feels very comfortable. The coloring is also beautiful. They can also be washed in water. The sole is made of a material used for car tires, which is strong, cushioned, and resilient. You will not get tired even if you walk for a long time. At first glance, they may look casual, but when you put them on, your feet will look classy. Please give them a try.

Yashiki Knitwear
The brand "Yashiki" is known for incorporating original Japanese landscapes into its clothing. Therefore, even though each item is a "Western" garment, it somehow has a Japanese aspect to it. Various stories can also be seen in the ...... website. The same is true of the knitwear introduced here. The source of the image is summer, when the clear-cut iridocumulus clouds are reflected in the bright blue sky, "like waves playing in the irrigation canal beside the rice paddies. First of all, based on the deformed fawn weave that resembles a rice paddy, the central weave represents an irrigation channel, and the vertical lines that flank it represent a path along a rice field. Then, a kimono inspired layered collar, a silhouette that pays homage to the kimono that is synonymous with "Yashiki," and an arrow-gasuri pattern on the cuffs are employed. Although it is a knit, it lets the wind pass through and feels comfortable on the skin, making it the perfect piece for the hot season. In winter, it can be worn as an inner layer, showing a glimpse of the collar.

Veilance Jacket
So-called "urban functional clothing" that can be worn both outdoors and in town. The outdoor boom has helped many brands to offer such clothes, but I feel that Veilance has achieved this at a high level. As a brand derived from Arc'teryx, its outdoor wear know-how and craftsmanship skills are exceptional. The jacket introduced here is from the "FL (FAST AND LIGHT) series," a new line from Veilance that uses a new GORE-TEX material, SHAKEDRY™, to create an ultra-lightweight, highly breathable piece of clothing. Of course, it is still highly waterproof. It is suitable not only as rainwear, but also for wearing to the gym or running in winter. Moreover, it is packable.
