Spring and summer items are being released, while fall and winter advance deliveries have begun , and a wave of sales is sweeping in. The fashion industry is in a state of flux, just like the ebb and flow of the tide, but Shopping Addict is running normally this month. Here is a selection of our editorial staff's favorites.
Who said that consumption is voting . I agree , hi. These days I strongly feel that I only want to pay for things where I can see the face of the creator. It is the feeling of paying for the background of manufacturing.
All-black shoes are somewhat common these days. . I'm a sucker for them. Next season, there will be a wide variety of leather shoes as well as sneakers, and I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open. I am ashamed to say that I have never worn these masterpieces, as I had never worn them when the Irish Setter was in the midst of an unprecedented boom. Around the year before last, I graduated from being a virgin to the all-black Ver (a strange way of putting it) of Timberland's yellow boots. . Next, it seems that the time has come for me to sleep with this one. Nice special order, Ships General Supply!

F/CE.®", a new name for "FICTURES". Five years have passed since the brand was founded, and the brand has been renamed with a fresh start, but the production has evolved even further. Especially interesting were the backpacks made of technical materials with a sharp brand logo created by an up-and-coming AD. Using a special machine, the fabrics are ultrasonically bonded together, and a material with no sewing at all has been developed. With waterproof specs that can withstand a depth of up to 6 meters, it is the strongest level in town! The backpack can be used in a variety of outdoor situations, but it is also designed for daily use, with urethane padding on the back and a bottle holder on the side. It is a pleasure to see such a beautifully designed product come out of Japan. Respect, Mr. Yamane.

For the past few years, I have been using a very thick belt from "Jabets Cliffs". In my mind, belts are consumable items, so I need a tough belt to do my job, and so far, it has done its job perfectly. It is still in use, but I have been looking for a different brand of belt and a thinner one for a change of pace for some time now. I found it at Master & Co, a well-known brand for its reliable craftsmanship. The UK bridle leather is not too rugged, a feat made possible by the elegance of the leather. The gold clasp (made of brass) is also a nice touch. I don't wear much jewelry anymore, but if I did, I would definitely wear gold. . I'm a yellow person, so I think it's possible to wear something that doesn't stand out too much.

. there is a showroom called "Overriver. As they say, the name says it all, and Mr. Koshikawa is the representative of the company. And this showroom is just very interesting. Every brand they carry has its own unique brilliance, and I am not presumptuous to say that I like many of the items selected by "Overriver" myself, and I am fascinated by their sense of selection. The most distinctive feature of this "O" denim is the magnetic fly on the front. A strong magnet is used, and the feeling of it snapping shut is strangely pleasant. One-washed denim is also available, but I am in the mood for this sour faded look. . The left one is thicker and the right one is thinner. Please choose the one you like.

The other day, I participated in the 6-hour portion of the "Green Charity Relay Marathon" held at the Yumenoshima Stadium, a truly monotonous event in which eight people join together to run the race, but it is strange because it is also a lot of fun.
Lately, I've been thinking about mid-length socks. Of course, when wearing sneakers, the short length fits nicely and looks more beautiful. However, since I can't see any style in them, I try to choose mid-length socks, even if they look uncomfortable. Among these, I was particularly moved by a pair of socks from Wimsey Socks, a sock brand from Osaka, Japan. The socks have unique graphics, sometimes created by graffiti writers, and as you can see, the color schemes are bizarre, but they are made in Japan, so they have a rich texture and feel great against the skin. Furthermore, the fact that it is made in Osaka by a skater is also a nice touch. Personally, I would like to choose these as my "winning socks" for running races.

. The hot weather is still continuing, but the desire for things comes regardless of the season. So, I would like to introduce you to a pair of gloves, although they may be out of season. By the way, they are made by " &Wonder. The gloves are coated with rubber from the palm of the hand to the fingers, so the grip is excellent. They are like rich military gloves, but they are made by AND WONDER. They have a stylish design that fits in well on the street, and they have a carabiner that makes them easy to carry and prevents them from getting lost. And yet the price is surprisingly reasonable. If you go to the trouble, you might want to stock up on a few.

For me, who enjoys running on a daily basis, it is desirable that everyday clothes have the functionality of sportswear. This T-shirt from Teton Bros., a Japanese outdoor manufacturer with a proven track record of reliability that won an APEX Award from Polartec in 2013, meets all of my needs, plus it has a fun graphic bonus as you can see. In addition to satisfying all my desires, this T-shirt comes with a funky graphic, as you can see. The textured, wooden body is made of a yarn with a deformed cross-section that absorbs water and dries quickly, and the graphics are by Tony de Boom, who has also created tour posters for Jack Johnson. . It is stiff, yet loose and comfortable.

As someone who cannot cook at all, it is out of the question for me to choose the tableware. The kitchen area is a woman's sanctuary, and it is an unspoken rule in my family that no man should ever set foot in there. . Nevertheless, this pot caught my attention. It was created by Blanx, led by Ryuji Kamiyama. It was sold in advance in conjunction with his solo exhibition "SOMEWHERE" held at Acme Furniture in Shibuya. In addition to the sexy "Patkin's Channei," the playful way in which even a fly is printed in a graffiti-like pattern is unintentionally amusing. The enameled surface is strong, odor-resistant, and easy to clean.

One of the indicators to measure the level of fashion is "nightclothes. I don't think it goes so far as to say, "Sleep in peace," but the luxury of being particular about one's loungewear reveals what it means to be fashionable (don't you think?). (Don't you think so?). However, if you are too particular about your clothes and they don't fit your size, it's a real downfall. That's why we chose Ralph Lauren. The fluffy 100% cotton body, simple and clean appearance, and one-pointed design are all very subtle. It's not much, but it's sophisticated and classy, a perfect nightgown. The price is moderate, so it would make a great gift.

Everyday I am pressed for time. I want to spend my time avoiding stress if possible. So I tried to find an item that would help me do that, even if only a little.
Once the rainy season is over, it's already summer. It's time to give a gift to the recipients of the mid-year gift. This is also a source of concern for us, as we want to give something thoughtful and, if possible, memorable. This T-shirt is this year's top contender, based on a dead stock US ARMY T-shirt with a certain unique, heavy embroidery found on vintage souvenir jackets, commonly known as Vietjeans. The marbled gray look created by the cotton/polyester blend and the "ARMY" print and embroidery are perfectly balanced. The packaging is nice and simple, and I think men and women alike will appreciate it.

I am a family man when it comes to shirt selection. To put it simply, it has a shoulder width of 50 , a length of 74 , and a sleeve length of 64 . I like a silhouette that is neither too tight nor too big. . However, there are sometimes exceptions. This shirt is just such a case. The greatest feature of this shirt is its one-size-fits-all design. The body is sized "XXXXXXL", and regardless of gender, this is a big size shirt that can be styled in as many ways as the number of people who wear it. It can be worn as a shirt jacket, or as a big shirt with the buttons closed (or even as a shirtcoat with a thin belt wrapped around the top), and it has an interesting sense of playing with sizes that defies categorization. In addition, the details hidden in the bold design, such as the use of cotton for the warp and linen for the weft, the fabric densely woven by a rare historical shuttle loom from 40 to 50 years ago, the bold slits on both sides, the deep round hem, and the wood buttons, are also excellent. I would like to enjoy wearing it with thick pants.

Until last year, Patagonia's baggy shorts were the mainstay of my summer wear. I had several pairs in different colors and wore them almost every day. And it's that time of year again. The easy shorts that "Standard California" offers every year are doing very well. This year, they are made of Toray's H2OFF, a lightweight, water-repellent, moisture-permeable material (60/40 cloth was used last year, by the way). The side and back pockets have mesh pockets so they can be used in the ocean or pool, and the high moisture permeability keeps me, a sweaty person, cool all the time. The elastic waist makes it easy to wear, and the silhouette is slightly thick, so there is nothing more to say about it. . I am planning to buy new ones in other colors for midsummer.

Bose is one of the brands that I always check out whenever they release a new product. The first one I purchased was the Acoustic Wave Music System II. It is a so-called CD boombox. It has already been discontinued, but I remember that I forced myself to buy it because it looked so cool and sturdy. More than 10 years have passed since then , and most of the speakers and headphones are now Bluetooth-enabled. . and so is this "Quiat Comfort 35". Without sacrificing technology or acoustic performance, this top-of-the-line model from Bose seamlessly integrates Bluetooth and acoustic noise-canceling technology. . . the noisy construction site in front of Shibuya station, the premises, the platform, and other noisy places will feel like you are in a quiet gymnasium in the middle of the night. I won't be able to live without it! . and I am completely addicted to Bose.

I found the interview with Bjork in another magazine too interesting. I wondered what kind of fashion "Ke", the everyday clothes of an artist who is free and cutting-edge in terms of visuals, thoughts, and musicality, would look like. . This is my own Ke outfit.
The polo shirts that are JOHN SMEDLEY's signature items are well known for their quality, but the T-shirts are also noteworthy for their quality. The comfort is delicate and smooth, and the taste is elegant. Personally, I feel that a plain black T-shirt in summer is simple, but if it is a cheap one, it will look poor, but if it is this elegant and comfortable, I would definitely like to have it. As for myself, I'd style it with a crazy workmanlike pair of wide, eighth-length pants or a pair of vintage, tattered denim. . I would be careful not to go for a gorgeous look.

It is a well-known story that the clothes made by Yogan Lehl, who made his debut as a textile designer, were made with a great deal of attention to detail, right down to the individual threads of the fabric, even though it may seem obvious. He passed away suddenly in 2014, but we would have loved to talk to him while he was still alive. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to speak with him while he was still alive.
As you can see, the cut-and-sew garments produced by Babagouris, the second line of Yoganrail, are the epitome of simplicity. The ribbed sleeves and hem are not constricting at all, and the style is very relaxed. There are no seams at the shoulders, making it stress-free to move your shoulders. The result is a casual, relaxed, basic, and functional garment. The result is a piece of clothing that allows the wearer to experience, through the skin and the sense of sight, the thoughtful design that lurks in the casualness of it all.

Minami-Aoyama is an area where stores with unique lineups such as "H BEAUTY&YOUTH" and "SUPER A MARKET" have been sprouting up . Among these, "LESHOP" is the first store to attract attention for its variation of clothing, which includes vintage clothing, and the store's design, which strikes a balance between rough and classy. The shorts shown here are from "Repurpose," which was launched in the 2016 SS as the store's exclusive brand, and are characterized above all by their big size. However, the shorts on the right, for example, have a center pleat, and the shorts on the left have flap pockets. Oversized shorts are in vogue nowadays, but this trend is mainly limited to tops and pants. It is quite rare to find a brand that offers oversized shorts. Against this backdrop, I can't help but support the brand's determination to create a new way of dressing, rather than riding the trend.

Some time ago, I had the opportunity to observe a pest control operation. I do not have a hunting license, so all I could do was watch them hunt up close and walk around in the mountains, but I got lost in the mountains. The hunting grounds are large, so we were walking in the mountains as amateurs only, and we panicked lightly, even though the mountains were just a hair over the hills. It was an event that made me realize that a compass and other tools that allow you to know where you are are are essential for walking outside of so-called easy-to-understand trails. . It's a matter of course, "Don't underestimate nature.

Even without these features, the rugged of rugged design makes it a watch that you would want to use on a daily basis. Suunto's "Ambit" series has been overwhelmingly popular among many users in the running and trekking scene, but I prefer this military belt to the rubber belt, so I personally voted for this one.

Summer, my least favorite season of the year, is finally upon us.... Although I am still shopping all the time, I fear that I will not have the opportunity to wear them in the coming season, as I am not at all active in going out outside of work.
Last season, we bought a T-shirt with "XXXL" printed in black. The brand is also synonymous with witty printed T-shirts such as "VELVET" and "MOHAIR," and I got this one for this spring/summer season. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary plain T, but upon closer inspection, you can see the prints all over the back of the T. The words "BLANK" and "MOHAIR" are printed on the back. But the word "BLANK" is printed on the back. . It's very nifty. Another attraction of this item is its reasonable price. It is not just because it is inexpensive, but because you can never have too many T-shirts, and the fun comes from the ease with which you can just buy a T-shirt because you like the print, and this is what makes T-shirts so appealing. It is not uncommon to end up wearing such a T-shirt more than a high-brand T-shirt that you purchased after much deliberation. Incidentally, one of our other staff members has purchased 10 T-shirts from "Tintin" this season alone, so he is by far the most addictive when it comes to "Tintin" alone.

It's a very simple and uninteresting phrase, but it is exactly what I mean when I say "to add a touch of color to a simple outfit. Since I've been wearing plain T-shirts and black pants lately, just wearing this belt makes me look (and feel) like I'm paying attention to what I'm wearing. Recently, belts with this tension can be seen everywhere due to the popularity of the nostalgic messenger belts, but the use of moderately avant-garde colors is as expected from "CLASS". I regret now that I should have bought several more colors since they were also available in about 10 colors including blue, green, and yellow.

Adidas' favorite model, the Tobacco, is now available in a pale pink colorway. This is the first time this color palette has been used since its release in 1972. The vintage-edged suede upper, three stripes of velour with a hint of pink, a heel tab, and beige laces are all used to create a cohesive look. I can't wear straight pink sneakers, but these are definitely a good choice. If you are interested in purchasing these sneakers after reading this article, we recommend that you go a half size down from your usual cigarette size, as the upper is unlined and made of a single piece of leather for summer specifications.

Every year around this time, I remember the "100 Books of Shincho Bunko". I wish I had read it with excitement . I think it worked on my mind more than any education. This summer, let's do a lot of deep reading.
It has been 13 years since Risa Wataya's "The Back You Want to Kick" won the Akutagawa Prize. I don't remember much of the content of the book, but fragments of the emotional landscape of my troubled youth remain. . The title of the book is also slowly seeping out of my mind. As an extension of this mood, I chose a back print T-shirt by Auguste Presentation. The two photos, titled "Seaside" and "Waterfront," were taken by the designer, Mr. Ohno. The prints are beautifully done on a wide, short body, remade from an XL size anvil organic T-shirt. Whether or not this back invites you to kick it or not. . Although it is a flat T-shirt, there is really a deep depth to it.

Leaving aside the practical effects, I feel that there will be a slight difference in the answer to the question, "What is an adult? I feel that there will be a slight difference in the answer to the question, "What is an adult? However, it still seems unnatural to say that as soon as one crosses the age limit, one can become an adult at any time. It may sound old-fashioned, but I think it would make more sense to call someone an adult when he or she is independent. So, the "Auralee" stand-up T-shirt is for all devout adults to wear. T-shirts are consumable items, but this toughness allows for the magic word "ageing" to be used. The black color is a special order color for ADAM ET ROPÉ, which is not available inline. The near-ink black color blends well with the skin, and it will be a piece that will be on the board a lot anyway. The more you wear it, the more the color will fade, the more the material will blend in, and the more it will change its appearance.

The French brand "Herve Chapelier" is known for its adorable boat-shaped tote bags. The distinctive design features a snap button at the opening, and is a good mix of casual and elegant. Although it has a strong impression of being a brand for women, there is a lineup of products that can be used by men as well.

This time, I picked up a tote bag from the "PP" series from "Herve Chapelier" that can be used by all genders. The feature of this bag is that its body is made of polyethylene material. It is lightweight and impervious to water, making it perfect for this rainy season. It can be quickly wiped clean when wet, making it ideal for sports and leisure activities.
