Case 02
Metal bracelets are enjoyed in a more mixed "off" style.
Masaaki's "OFF" Style
Masaaki wears a stadium jacket by Quigley, knitwear by Muji, jeans by Graphpaper, shoes by Joseph Cheaney, and a shoulder bag by Loewe. Quigley" is a stadium jacket brand by Mr. Nishino of "Neat" and Kazuma Shigematsu of "Unthings. The metal bracelet of the "Tissot Gentleman Automatic" goes well with his favorite jacket. The setting for the photo shoot was Masaaki's favorite spot, "Pizza Slice.
HOUYHNHNM's: Next, you suggested an off-duty style. The watch was changed to a metal bracelet, and the atmosphere of the coordination changed completely.
Masaaki: I think I wear more casual clothes off the job. I wear denim both on and off the job, but I also tend to wear stadium jackets, vintage mountain parkas, and tops that are easy to move in. My basic style is American casual.
HOUYHNHNM's: But it's not the same as a sense of balance like American casual wear on the high street.
Masaaki: Basically, I prefer a casual style, but I feel uncomfortable if it is too casual. For example, the denim of "Graphpaper" is tucked in, and I don't want to deviate from the casual direction, but I want to find a way to shift things around within the casual style.
Nobuyuki：The inner mock-neck is a bit elegant, and the mix of British or traditional leather shoes is very brotherly, and I think it is a modern coordination, not just American casual.
HOUYHNHNM: I see. That's another sense of mixing.
Masaaki: Yes, I do. . When I wear a jacket off duty, I wear sneakers to balance it out.
Nobuyuki's "OFF" Style
Nobuyuki used an "Engineered Garments" coat, a "Raf Simons" parka, vintage slacks, and "Converse Skateboarding" sneakers. His Subaru Forester L.L. Bean Edition, which he bought about three years ago, is a reliable companion. Nobuyuki likes aggressive styling, and his car is unique with a twist.
HOUYHNHNM's: The last one is Nobuyuki's off-style.
Nobuyuki: Although I share some of the same taste as my brother, I was conscious of mixing things up for the "Off" collection as well. The A-line coat is the main item, so I mixed various tastes, such as a parka by Raf Simons, which is quite short, and flared pants made of beautiful wool, to bring the overall atmosphere together.
HOUYHNHNM: Casual, mode, minimalist, I can feel various elements.
Nobuyuki: The metal bracelet of the "Tissot Gentleman Automatic" gave me a sporty impression, so I paired it with a parka and a skeeshoe.
Masaaki: Both of us value the sense of mixing, but our ways of expression are quite different.
Nobuyuki: We are twins, but I feel that Masaaki's face balance is more casual and he can hold his own. In my case, I have to make him a little more mode-like to hold it....
