A STATE OF NATURE × fridge
State of Nature x Fridge shirt.
Autumn waves on the shirt .
I'm getting tired of T-shirts and want to straighten up my back, so I'm taking a break from loose styles at the beginning of fall. However, I also don't want to wear something too crisp. After going through the fine mesh, I came across shirts from the London brand "State of Nature" and the select store "Fridge" in Setagaya, Tokyo. The shirt has an elegant yet nonchalant atmosphere with its upright collar, boxy silhouette, cuffless sleeves, and natural horn buttons, as if to "take care" of oneself. Moreover, the supple cotton fabrication gives it a shirt-jacket-like aspect that is not too casual, even when thrown over a loose-fitting jacket. When the weather gets a little colder, it would be good to wear it with college sweatshirts or Tilden knits for an Ivy-like look.

Mame Kurogouchi
Mame Kurogochi Eyewear
. a feast for the eyes.
The peak of this summer was the exhibition "10 Mame Kurogouchi" held at the Nagano Prefectural Museum of Art. The space was filled with collection pieces created over the past 10 years since the brand was founded, as well as products and photographs that served as sources of inspiration, and was like a particle of the feelings that Mame puts into each stitch. The delicate yet bold beauty of the shapes is evident in this season's eyewear. The nuanced cat-eye frames with a pinch of yoloi are supple enough to make the wearer feel good. The lenses and frames are finished in one tone of clear with a hint of gray, giving them a softness that envelops me even when I wear them with my pale face. . This kind of gracefulness is just right for avoiding the mild autumn sunlight.

Merrell Jungle Moc 2.0
A gem of a sukkah.
Jungle Mocs were my favorite when I was a student. The plain, unseasoned, cobbled-together taste went well with all kinds of pants, and I wore them constantly. The Jungle Moc 2.0 is an evolution of that pair with a sharper silhouette, and while it looks simple, it's more functional than you might think. As I've been on location and on the road, I've come to rely on the Vibram sole for excellent grip, soft cushioning, and a water-repellent pig-suede upper. . they may look rustic, but they're tough as nails. It is a gem of a shoe that can compete with the quality of its materials without being needlessly decorated, and it is a gem without any pretense.

Baum's Eau de Cologne
One-push forest bathing.
I am not in the mood for summer to pass without feeling the sea, and autumn to pass without noticing the season. . However, I have no intention of going out into the woods. I am busy working at home and catching up on the latest episode of "Squid Game," which is my mission for the time being. But Baum's eau de cologne will take me out to the woods with one push of a button. Starting with rosemary and eucalyptus and ending with cedarwood, SYMPHONY OF TREES gives you the freshness and warmth of trees with just one spray. . the serenity of a quiet forest where you can close your eyelids and meditate. The feeling of being able to take a deep, refreshing breath, as if I had grown roots in my sofa at home and spread out my branches and leaves, even makes me think, "I should go see nature.

Cashmere knit by The Beautiful People
Used cashmere.
In the fall and winter, I like to wear knitwear. . because they are warm, feel wrapped up, and are comfortable to wear. . Because my skin is sensitive, I prefer cashmere as a material for fall. . because it doesn't tingle when it touches my bare skin. Simply put, I am selfish. Recently, I was interested in this knitwear made of white cashmere from Inner Mongolia by "The Beautiful People," a standard line born from "Beautiful People. The knitwear is made at different shrinking temperatures to give it a worn-in look, and is available in two styles: Aged (left), which shows the effect of aging after 10 years, and Newborn (right), which looks like it could still grow on you. I like the mellow texture that comes out when the fabric has been used for a long time in a good sense, but it is also soft to the touch because it is made by WHOLEGARMENT. I like that it is WHOLEGARMENT, so it is gentle to the touch.

Chaco's Paonia Series
Best pickle.
When I say "Chaco," I mean Sposun. . I used to think so, and that would be the correct opinion. However, my opinion changed when I saw the new "Paonia" series. Chaco is good for more than just sandals. I like this one a lot. They were released in two types, the slightly longer "Paonia" and the clog-type "Paonia Clog," and I think they can be enjoyed more easily in the fall and winter months while maintaining the same comfort and feel. To begin with, I like the feeling of suede as it wears down. . However, I also have a tendency to dislike it being too loose. In the "Paonia" series, the belt material adds a nice touch. I like the color, and I think it would be great to keep a pair in my entryway and wear them until they are crumbly, without worrying about bare feet or socks. I don't think I'll regret buying these in different colors.

Flagstaff x Osamu Nagaba Long T
Punk is attitude, Not style.
Some time ago, I visited Mr. Nagaba's studio for an interview. The space was pleasant and relaxing, but what really caught my attention were the speakers. He uses a type of speaker that hangs from the ceiling, and I felt as if I was surrounded by sound. And it was just wonderful. Mr. Nagaba drew an illustration for "Flagstaff" based on a famous punk band's album. Using this drawing, a short-sleeved and a long T-shirt were released to commemorate the 7th anniversary of "Flagstaff". The long T is available in two colors, white and purple, and I was really taken by the purple one. I was so excited about the purple color, because Mr. Nagaba, who wears almost exclusively black, told me that he had bought a pair of purple pants! He says, "Punk is not a style, but an attitude," but when you hear that, don't you want this purple Long T?

Cadeau air purifier
Pollen control in the fall as well.
Hay fever. The types are cedar , and rice. The latter is very bothersome , producing a gradual but prolonged runny nose and itchy face. I had an air purifier installed several years ago, but the one that could be adjusted in three levels now only operates on high, which is a blast. When I was thinking it was time for a new one, I found a completely new air purifier from Kadoh, the LEAF 250, which combines ease of maintenance and cleaning power. I personally like the fact that it has the same simple structure as my current one and is not complicated to handle. Above all, I like the simple design of the Cadeau, which I have been eyeing for some time, and the way it looks. . I especially like the tidy gray form and color. There are multifunctional air purifiers, but personally, I prefer the pure, beautiful, and lovable "Mochi wa Mochiya" style air purifiers.

Jodorowsky would have been bowled over by this. . So, I'm working on an article, so stay tuned.
Ernie Palo
Ernie Palo V-neck long sleeve knit
I like a clean winter.
Ernie Palo, launched in 2021 by Mr. Yamaguchi of Arledge, is a brand that produces basic, unisex clothing. The items themselves are of course wonderful, but they only shine when all the elements are combined, such as light, wind, and the atmosphere of the person wearing them. It has that kind of comfort. This season, I was particularly interested in a wool V-neck knit with an open front. The soft feel, the effortless pattern design, and the slight transparency are all features that you can't notice unless you observe carefully. Stagnant blue is also something you want to wear in winter. The most difficult thing is to make something that is not so special, rather than something that is! Writing and clothing are similar. As an aside, I would like to mention that the brandInstagram. and I was so zukyuu with what an ennui girl was wearing. I'll be a belichotte this winter .

Well room slacks
Clothing that responds to life.
HOUYHNHNM's recently featured "WELL" for the first time, which is more aptly described as a "design studio" than a "brand". The Tokyo-based company has been active since 2017, and its expressive activities take a variety of forms, from the production of clothing to the publication of photo books and the distribution of diaries. In the clothes, there is a sense of security that responds to the wearer's life and accompanies them in their daily life. This season, I particularly like the slacks. They look like casual homeware, but when worn with a collared shirt or polo, they instantly become the star of the show. While basic, the cedar twill tape at the hems and zippered pockets show the meticulousness of the Well brand. It is sure to bring out the individuality of each person who wears it.Online Storehas just opened , so please take a look.

HIDAKA
Hidaka USB Key Ring
It's not locking, it's preserving.
When I look at Hidaka's items, I think of a "furi" and an "okazu". The way they easily change the existing image of something is very cool as a user, and the unexpectedness and honesty of their work makes me feel like I'm getting one over on them. The custom of wearing a key around one's waist has been around for a long time, but the USB key, which Hidaka has made a staple every year, is not a key but a USB device that stores data instead of locking the door. In the digital society of 2022, it is wise to quickly upload your information to the cloud or convert it to data rather than writing it down on paper, and a smart person carries it with him so that he can open it anytime. . The face is simple, but the selection of parts and materials is effective and stylish. If someone has created something in the past, let them pretend it is something else and have Hidaka drop it in.

Company Studio Running Cap
It's naughty, it's poppy, it's good .
In an editorial department where 80% of the people wear hats, I belong to the minority. Of course, I am talking about hats, which I have never been associated with, but I have become hooked on them since I cut my hair short. These are the two that have caught my attention recently as my tentacles have been growing. The one who created them is Chaz Bear, aka Toro y More. Company Studio" is a platform where Chaz continues his painting and design activities in parallel with his musical activities, and his caps have a unique air about them. The cap has a perforated side panel for ventilation, and a reflective panel for safety at night. The sporty look is finished off with a naughty pop of a graphic on the front, which is good. It seems to complement the music in a mysterious way, or maybe it's a completely different dimension. Keep your eyes peeled for more from "Company Studio" in the future.

As someone who was not yet born at the time, I was in awe of being able to relive that legendary live performance that had 250,000 people in a frenzy. .

Sudok knitwear
Play and margins.
I am a little below average height and have a skinny build. There is not much to be gained from this style in terms of appearance, but, fortunately for me, I can wear ladies' clothes when it comes to fashion. So I sometimes check out women's brands that interest me, and Sudoku is one of them. Sudoku" is one of them. I have the impression that they offer witty clothes based on real clothes, but with details that betray expectations in a good way. For example, this knit has an eye-catching V-neckline with a large cut at the chest, but the look of the garment changes drastically depending on whether the top button is undone or fastened, or what is inserted as innerwear. I think the reason why I am attracted to "Sudoku" is that it gives you more room for dressing in this way.

Riprap Shirts
Scent of Showa era .
When I was a university student, I was not fond of open-collared shirts, even though I saw many people around me wearing them. Now I realize that I was just being naive, but I guess it was youthful indiscretion. But now I am interested in open collars. I don't have a single one yet, but I like the atmosphere of the Showa period. A clean white shirt like Yasujiro Ozu's would be nice, but I don't think my little boy has the dignity to match it yet. In that case, I chose this shirt from "Riprap. It has an autumnal check pattern, and the retro, mature colors are just what I'm in the mood for. So-called open-collared shirts give a casual impression, but this one, with its fine needlework and fine tailoring, gives a glimpse of the traditional style of a dress shirt. Try "riprap" for your open-necked shirt debut.

Tintin T-shirt
Photo to wear.
You can never have too many T-shirts. This is really true, and I am not a wallet-friendly person who easily buys them when I see something that strikes me. The price of one T-shirt may not be that much, but I don't even want to imagine the total amount of money I have spent on T-shirts so far. Among these, I always reach for photo T's, because I love photography and cannot resist the temptation. The "GASATANG" series from Tintin is a collaboration between stylist Daisuke Iga, photographer Masashi Sanai, and Tanno, the brand's designer. The designs are lavishly illustrated with photographs from Mr. Sanai's archives, and as someone who fell in love with Mr. Sanai's photography after seeing his "Purple" series, there is no better photo T than this one. As I fell in love with Mr. Sanai's photos after seeing his "Purple" album of sometime ago, there is nothing better than this photo T. Other than the ones selected this time, the photos and their selections are outstanding, so please take a look at the official site if you like.

Urban outdoor boots.
I have been on several outdoor expeditions in the past, and each time I think about it, I need a functional pair of shoes. I've managed to get by with running shoes, but they slip on the water and my feet are miserable, so I think it's time to get a pair of serious shoes. But even so, I am not the type of person who regularly does outdoor activities such as camping, so I feel uncomfortable with shoes that can only be used for outdoor activities. . I want something that I can use for everyday wear, but that is also tough. Swicock's "Robes," based on short boots for outdoor activities, have a cute, rounded silhouette, heavy-duty functionality, and stylish laces that go around the ankle. These are the outdoor shoes you've been looking for.

Yuen shirt
Check Autumn.
One of the most desired items in fall is the check shirt, no questions asked. . The wider the silhouette, the more subdued the color, the better. The new line from "Yuen" meets all of my personal criteria. The austere gray and navy tones of the coloring were completely to my liking, but what really caught my attention when I tried it on was the collar shape. While this kind of design usually has a button-down collar, this one is designed with a small spread collar. This makes the neck area look clean and elegant even when the first button is undone. . The material used is a blend of cotton and Cordura nylon. The gap between the classic checkered pattern and the crisp feel is also nice. With all of these points and at this price, you won't find a reason not to buy it.

Unrouted T-shirts
Run T is also a wide choice.
. The key to choosing a T-shirt is to keep it simple and big. For city use, there are many choices, but for running, it is a different story. Most T-shirts are made with an emphasis on specifications, and most of them are made to fit the body in just the right silhouette. However, I am just a "fan" runner. I want to enjoy running, including the style. I therefore purchased a pair of "Unroute" pants, which are produced under the theme of "enjoying fashion and sports in the same sense. The minimalist design and relaxed silhouette give it potential as street wear, while the quick-drying polyester fabric and convenient back pockets for storing small items provide a full range of functions and details that are useful during a run. The neck is smooth to the touch yet stiffly packed, so there are no problems with stiff washing. I went with black to avoid stains, but I'm aiming for khaki next time.

Finally, it's cool enough to wear a knit cap. With the high rate of sleep habit explosions, it looks like I'll have to do something with it again this year.

Although knitwear and hats are two different items, the quality of this collaboration between two specialized brands that have mastered one genre was superb. The soft fabric with a gentle texture creates a sense of the season just by wearing it. The ribbed knit fabric has excellent elasticity, making it stress-free and comfortable to wear. The folded part is designed with an arrow-gasat pattern to express the "Yashiki" style. The silhouette is the ever-popular shallow shape. This is exactly what we mean by "impeccable.

My Best Nest Cradle Goods.
Suddenly, I'm in two minds . Yes, I am talking about cigarettes . I try to use different types of cigarettes depending on the occasion. When I want to refresh myself at the office, I smoke paper cigarettes that give me a strong smell, and when I am relaxing at home, I smoke heated cigarettes that have less smell. Until now, I mainly used the former as my main cigarette and the latter as a sub, but since I came across Plume-X, the occasion has been split 50-50. The first thing that surprised me was the rich flavor, which is hard to believe that it is a heated cigarette. The moment you put it close to your mouth, you can smell the tobacco's original aroma, and the most important thing is that the smoke is very thick and rich. Those who have used conventional devices will immediately notice the difference. The heavy, manly design has a streamlined shape that feels great in the hand. . The smoking comfort has been improved in terms of both the kick and the ease of use. There are many goods that enhance the stay-home experience, and for me, this device is one of them.
