Isetan Pop-up.

The exhibition will be held at Isetan Shinjuku Men's Building for two weeks from October 13th to 26th.SOTO and NAKA. I have been given the opportunity to run a pop-up store called "The Pop-Up Shop. It is the first time for me to do such a full-scale pop-up shop, so I had a lot of difficulties, but it is very interesting to do it. It's great to be able to have real contact with the customers. . That's what's important, isn't it?

Paraboot Thiers

Thiel support group.

Recently published.Projects in YoutubeThe "Thiers" by Paraboot, which I was able to purchase at . How many times are you going to push it? I know it's a bit of a stretch, but good things are good, and I'm going to keep pushing for them. I've worn them a few times since I bought them and they are just so comfortable to walk in. I'd like to reiterate the appeal of this model, but it's a very popular model "chambordThe face is softer than the "U-tip," like a deck shoe and a trekking boot combined into a U-tip.chimay (narrow cleft used to climb a rock face)I fell in love with this model, which was much more casual and had a more "naughty" appearance than the original. The store owner said it was a model for professionals, but I am sure there must be people who like it. Oh, the model in the photo has a Rocade sole, but the main development from now on will be the Shark sole (sports sole), so don't worry about it.

ORIGINAL Charcoal

Original Charcoal Long T

I'm curious about the dye now.

When you wear only simple and minimalistic clothes on a daily basis, sometimes you want to add some noise in a good way. For example, paint or crash processing on denim. And recently, I've been thinking a lot about "dyeing. I introduced it at this time.Tanaka Tanaka's mud dyeingYes, but I am attracted to the one-of-a-kind look of each piece, which is different from the other. Incidentally, both of these "Original Charcoal" long T-shirts are made of velour. The choice of colors and the craftsmanship of the uneven dyeing and pattern dyeing are both new at this point, and I think this is a piece that can stand up to wear by adults of a certain age, or rather, it is an adult piece that I want adults to wear. . Of course, since this is a "charcoal" item, both have pockets.

Dissident Beach Pants

A relaxing bottle.

For many people, beach pants have become a "Stussy" thing. . I often hear everyone praising it as a masterpiece. However, since I personally have not been to the beach at all, I was able to look at these pants without any preconceptions. They have an easy pants type waistband and a nice furry surface, making them super relaxed. . The 90's check fabric gives them just the right amount of elegance. The relaxed, tapered fit is just right. I would like to match it with casual leather shoes.

Tokyo Higoro

Tokyo Higoro, vol. 1

I like editing , editors even more.

There are several stories with an editor as the main character, aren't there? I like that more than anything else.I've blogged about this before.I have written that I prefer editing and editors to fashion, music, movies, etc. . In recent years, the field of editors has been expanding rapidly, but in this case, editors are editors in the narrow sense of the word. In other words, I love the stories of those who work on magazines, newspapers, manga, literature, and around the web magazines more than anything else. The manga "Tokyo Higoro" is by the master editor Taiyo Matsumoto, and features an editor as the main character. The story begins when the protagonist, a veteran editor, resigns from the company he worked for many years. It sinks in . . It's blues. It makes you want to drink. . I'm the type of person who can't stand Series manga and always read them in magazines, but I'm a Comics guy for this one. I can't wait for the second volume to come out .

Support.

This year again, I went to support the OSJ KOUMI 100. But, cheering was not the point. We climbed the mountain, soaked in the highest outdoor hot spring in Japan "Unjo-no-yu", camped, stayed overnight, hiked the peak of Mt. Tengu in trekking style, took a bath again....

THE NORTH FACE

The North Face's "Free Run" series

The new standard for runware.

Since I started dressing for running at any time, I have intentionally kept away from fashionable elements. Layering layers that are stacked with functions for running has the purpose of running as its premise, so the desire to be fashionable doesn't really come to the fore. I enjoy dressing fashionably in my own way, but I don't think it's obvious. The North Face's "Free Run" series fits perfectly with my mood. The lineup includes caps, anoraks, T-shirts, shorts, and a total of 14 models, and as you can see, the look and feel of the materials are very casual. The lineup includes caps, anoraks, T-shirts, shorts, and 14 other models, and as you can see, the look and feel of the materials are casual, yet quick-drying, breathable, and environmentally friendly materials such as plant-based nylon are used. This is a fascinating collection that allows you to enjoy the most primitive sport of running on a daily basis, while also being friendly to the earth. It is a new standard for a new era.

Topo Athletic

Topo Athletic Recovery Shoes

A useful supporting role before and after a race.

Running is tiring in its own way . And on the long trails I like to run, it is impossible for my legs not to get tired. The day after a long race, I often limp and even have to rely on handrails when descending stairs. At such times, recovery shoes can be relied upon. The "REKOVR 2" from Topo Athletic, a road-drop shoe brand that has been getting a lot of attention in recent years, uses a slip-on design that is easy to put on and take off. The upper is made of antimicrobial blend wool, and the insole is made of Ortholite® 3D Wave Sense, which prevents distortion and has antimicrobial properties. They can be worn barefoot, and the wavy shape of the footbed adds pleasant stimulation to tired feet. Moreover, the Vibram outsole with its excellent grip makes them suitable for all kinds of fields. These shoes are a great supporting cast to help you stay comfortable and yet stylish before and after a race. They will come in handy in the coming seasons.

TANNUKI

Raccoon Shoe Bag

. large capacity, gimmicky, but stylish.

Recently, I have been looking for a shoe bag. I was looking for this and that, and I found that Tanuki, which offers running apparel and accessories made in Japan, also has them! What's more, it is a tote-type bag, which is different from so-called "shoe bags. It is made of a nylon material with a washer finish, so it has a casual look that can be used on any occasion, but it is also very strong. In addition to the main compartment for storing shoes, it boasts high enough storage capacity to carry a complete set of running goods, as it has two divided pockets on the inside and a large mesh pocket on the outside. In addition, the bag is equipped with loops on the handles, and the brand recommends customizing the bag with a badge, among other gimmicks. It can be used not only as a shoe bag, but for all kinds of purposes.

Kalimar Thermal Half Zip

It is highly breathable and , in any case, lightweight.

Middle layers are essential for running in the coming season. However, if you are running, you are going to sweat . If you sweat, you will have to take it off. However, since you don't want to carry luggage, it is important to choose a middle layer with excellent breathability. This season, I'm aiming for a thermal half-zip from Kalimar. The material used is OCTA, which is also used as a synthetic fiber padding. In addition to being lightweight and sweat-absorbent and quick-drying, the brushed fibers create an airy layer that keeps the wearer warm even when the temperature is low. The front zip can be opened to further promote ventilation, making it ideal for trail running where perspiration is abundant. The simple design is also suitable for everyday use, which I like. A middle layer that works in the mountains and fits in well in town. It is likely to come in handy for many occasions. Black is also available.

77circa × WILD THINGS

77 Circa x Wild Things military outerwear

Military outerwear with a mixed sense of style.

. I am always amazed at the editing and mixing skills of 77 Circa's designers. I am always amazed at the editorial skills and sense of mixing and matching in the designs of "77 Circa. They deconstruct and reconstruct existing clothes, or connect completely different items together. Such clothes require an exquisite sense of design, an understanding of the product, and an absolute sense of style, and 77 Circa is outstanding in all of these areas. The military outerwear in the photo is a perfect example of this: the M-65 fishtail parka and the M-48 test sample are a perfect mash-up of two models, and Wild Things was able to create it. Each detail is classic, but the materials and size give it a modern military look. It is large in size, but by tightening the drawcords at the waist and hem, it takes on a completely different look. The depth of the design and the high level of editing made me fall to my knees. I'm here.

MacMahon Knitting Mills

McMahon Knitting Mills Sweater

I'm sending you a peace mark!

Influenced by the American hippie culture that I admired in my youth, I still have a reaction to peace marks. I find myself wearing peace symbols all over my daily accessories, custom bicycle parts, and so on. The peace symbol is a symbol of peace, which means nuclear disarmament. No matter how old I get or how much my environment changes, I never want to forget the hippie mindset. Now, this sweater (right) I found at Dear. It was completely love at first sight. The peace symbols were already stimulating my own buttons, but the simple and concise design in monotone, which is rare for this kind of motif, was what caught my attention. The knit is low gauge and has a nice hand-knit texture. How about wearing it with leather shoes for a chic and mature hippie style? Incidentally, McMahon Knitting Mills also offers sweaters with unusual motifs, such as the Yin-Yang Tai Chi Chart (left).

BOW WOW

Bau Wow sweatpants

Sweat pants that convinced me , I found.

Sweat pants are slowly gaining popularity. In an attempt to ride the wave, I have tried on a variety of sweatpants. My personal selection criteria were as follows. (1) Sweat pants made of comfortable fabric, (2) a loose but not sporty silhouette, (3) not a familiar standard brand, and (4) moderately designed and assertive. After meeting these criteria, we arrived at the "Bau Wow" sweatpants you see here. The original pile fabric is comfortable to wear, and the straight silhouette that falls from the thighs to the hem is just right for my current mood. The vintage-inspired print and cut-off hems are also perfectly in line with my taste. I was totally taken in, and got the one on the left to start with. I didn't have much of a choice in sweatpants before, but Bau Wow's sweatpants are doing very well, so I encourage everyone to give them a try.

RICHILL.

Richle's CBD Vape

For chill time before bedtime.

I often drag myself home after a long day at work, such as during interviews or photo shoots. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep and would often watch YouTube until morning. I'm sure you are all familiar with CBD, so I won't go into details here, but what I like about this vape is that it's easy to operate: just insert the pod containing the CBD liquid into the special device and vape away. The CBD flavors are also unique, with a variety of Japanese-inspired flavors such as brown sugar green tea, milk kintoki, yuzu marron, and so on. By the way, my personal favorite was Kyoho. You can taste the grape flavor, but it is not too sweet, and the mouthfeel is just right. It's just plain delicious. I'm going to try it for a while as a companion for my chill time before bedtime. I would recommend it as an introduction to CBD!

I have already had two doses of the corona vaccine, and I would like to go abroad soon, which I had to postpone last year and this year! I have a faint hope that the number of infected people is decreasing and that next year will be the year... .

FOSTEX GARMENTS

Fostex Garments MA-1

The identity of the rumored blouson, which was priced in the millions.

For the past few years, I have often worn the MA-1 in the winter, and I was intrigued by its mature and lean design and the rescue orange peeking out from the inside, so I decided to give it a try when I reached my mid-30s. Until now, I have only chosen a certain American military brand, but this year I am going to try Fostex Garments. I first came to know about this brand from "Raf Simons. When I looked again at Raf's MA-1, which Kanye West wore and became a topic of conversation, I discovered that it was made with a Fostex Garments body. It was the one that fetched millions of dollars on the second market. . So, I was interested in it and selected it here. . The one in the photo is a new one with a vintage wash, which gives it a rough look that you can't get from a brand new one. There are many other MA-1s in our online store, so if you are interested, please check them out.

PS Paul Smith

PS Paul Smith fleece

. the strangeness of the color scheme.

PS Paul Smith" has been featured in HOUYHNHNM many times in the past. Different from its main line "Paul Smith," PS Paul Smith is developing a new fan base with its lineup that has a moderate street style and is designed for everyday use. From such a brand, we picked this fleece pullover. As you can see, the vivid color contrasts well with the black body, and the use of different colors for the three zips is exquisite, and I personally love this kind of play. The big silhouette makes this a piece that should be worn loosely with large pants. The half-zip design is also a nice touch that fits the current mood. It will surely become a mainstay of your coordination in the coming fall season.

COMOLI

Exclusive pants specially ordered by JOHN

. between the ideal and the reality.

The brand "Komori" continues to fascinate fashion experts. The reason for the brand's popularity lies not only in its seemingly anonymous designs, but also in the aura, or rather, the beauty of the appearance of its clothes. In fact, when you touch the clothes, you can feel the temperature and spirit of the creator, which is a wonder. The famous store "JOHN" in Yoyogi Uehara, Tokyo, approached such a brand. Yuichi Danjo, the owner of JOHN, explains, ". This is the first time this season that we have been able to work with 'Komori' on a special-order product that we make with various brands. The finished product is a pair of leather pants. Based on the track pants from the 20AW collection, we asked them to create drawstring pants that can be worn casually and casually, using the same soft deerskin leather used for the leather shirts. The lining is lined with a warm, brushed material, giving these pants a wonderful comfort that is unlike leather pants. I think this is a special-order product that focuses on the personal, as if the ideal I had in my mind was given shape (laughs). (Laughs) "This is a gem born in the space between the ideal and the reality. It is only available now.

Fred's new bracelet

A new move by a prestigious and long-established company.

Fred, a prestigious jeweler, was established in 1936. Known for its client list that includes Grace Kelly, Jean Cocteau, and Pablo Picasso, Fred's has fascinated people with its timeless and modern designs inspired by the Mediterranean sea and sun in the south of France. From such a long-established company, we have chosen the "All Black Buckle," which was born from its signature bracelet "Force 10. The main attraction of this bracelet is its black design. The buckle is made of titanium with a matte finish, which is rare for "Fred", and has black diamonds casually embedded in it. The cables are also black, giving the watch a mature look with a deliberately restrained presence. Even those who have avoided bracelets will surely find this one easy to wear. It may be a little early to say, but I think this would be a great gift to reward yourself for all the hard work you have put in this year. Fred's special "Force 10" bracelet is not to be missed.

I want to pot.

It suddenly got cold and I wanted to have a nabe. Mizutaki, motsu-nabe, toshiyonabe, mille-feuille nabe, kimchi nabe, soy milk nabe, chanko-nabe.... I think nabe dishes, which can be made elaborately or at random, are truly nostalgic. I would like to become someone like nabe.

Ricoh Compact Digital Cameras

40mm gr.

Around this time last year, we did a special feature on bags. We asked photographer Yusuke Abe about his travels and bags, and he told us that the cameras he takes with him are the "GR" and "GR III" cameras from Ricoh. The "GR" series is a famous series that has been around since the days of silver halide photography. I liked the GR series, including its size, but I could not get my hands on one because of its 28mm wide-angle lens. However, this October, for the first time in the "GR" series, a 40mm (35mm film camera equivalent) camera was released. It is called the "GR IIIx. The angle of view was just right, and my appetite was whetted at once. My impression after using it was quite good. There is solid color information even in areas that look white, and the calm tones are very nice. I think it would make my life more enjoyable if I had one, even though I currently take most of my pictures with my smartphone.

C.E. pants

Stable pants.

I think every brand has an iconic mark. . It could be a crocodile, a pony, or a red tab. So, what about "C.E."? Well, most people would probably say "red patches" or items that make use of graphics. But what I personally like are pants. Especially those made of natural materials. I feel comfortable in pants that look classic, such as denim or chinos. The silhouette is basically tapered so they don't rub the hems and they are easy to ride a bike in. I don't have to worry about wearing them in my life, so they make my life very easy. These pants have the usual reassuring silhouette, and the overdyed corduroy is cozy and nice. . after all, these are the kind of clothes that stay in the closet.

PENDLETON × Bill Wall Leather

Pendleton x Bill Wall Leather items

Comeback.

I like clothes that can be easily washed. But I am also strangely attracted to wool tops, which can be a bit of a chore to wash. . I wear cotton pants all year round, so I like to add a seasonal touch with tops. This shirt and cardigan are a collaboration between Pendleton and Bill Wall Leather . They were on sale last year, but were so popular that they sold out immediately, so they are now on sale again this year. At a quick glance, you may wonder what has been changed. But if you look closely, you will notice that the concho button on the cardigan and the second button on the shirt are colored in Billwall Leather's signature silver. I like this casual look, don't you think? Because it is an item that is already complete, a little arrangement makes it more appealing. It's nice to see a collaboration like this being worn without hesitation, isn't it?

Oral-B by Braun

Oral-B by Braun electric toothbrush

Machine reliance.

I bought a cleaning robot this year . I decided to buy it because I am not very good at cleaning my house, but in the end, I don't think it has cleaned up much. But I felt the machine was very advanced. They think well and clean up properly. So I found the Oral-B iO7 Black Onyx, which was just released this month, to make things easier. 5 modes and a bunch of features that I can just about understand, such as artificial intelligence brushing recognition and smart anti-push sensors. Too many of these features will just get lost, and there seems to be just the right drop-off point. I had always thought of electric toothbrushes as white, but I like the fact that they are black.
