Vintage Summit 10: A Vintage Roundtable Discussion by some of the industry's leading eccentrics.

Vintage Summit," a discussion on vintage clothing among vintage fanatics that started in February 2014, has finally reached its 10th edition! We are pleased to welcome back four regular members, Tomohiro Konno, Michihiko Kurihara, Fujihara Yutaka, and Takashi Abe, who will introduce items that are currently attracting their interest. What items are they interested in?

This area is very fresh right now.

1980's Levi's DENIM BOA JACKET, 1990's Levi's NYLON QUILTED DENIM JACKET

Fujiwara:Lastly, a rare denim jacket from Levi's.

Konno:I love this B-3 type. I have one myself and I like it a lot.

Abe:How much would it cost if it were a store now?

Fujiwara:It depends on the store, but ours would be about 29,800 yen.

Konno:It's getting gradually higher, isn't it?

Fujiwara:Yes, it is. Since they are rare, I think they will sell even at 39,800 yen. Especially the larger sizes.

Kurihara:Was this boa jacket anything other than acid wash?

Fujiwara:I have never seen it.

Konno:It looks like this wash is the only one for the period.

Fujiwara:Probably.

Abe:I have an image of Yutaka as an indigo, but I see that you like this area as well.

Fujiwara:In the past, I would never have bought such items, but recently I have started collecting them because I feel that this area is new and fresh. Galactic and stripes, which you introduced last time, are also quite popular now, aren't they?

Konno:When I wear this jacket, I get asked about it by quite a few people.

Kurihara:Why don't you try on the same wash set-up (laughs)?

Fujiwara:It is indeed impossible (laughs).

Abe:The switching jackets over here are amazing. I've never seen it before.

Kurihara:Me too. I like the red collar. I understand that the innerwear is red, but the collar is also red.

Abe:It's not reversible, is it?

Fujiwara:Yes, no.

Abe:Where did you get this?

Fujiwara:I was allowed to buy it at our house.

Konno:How much would "berberzine" cost?

Fujiwara:These are the hardest to price.

Abe:But why red, anyway?

Kurihara:In this era, there are a lot of red liners from other brands as well.

Konno:Indeed. I guess it's the zeitgeist.

Abe:Jackets in this area would not have been looked at a while ago.

Fujiwara:That's right. After all, this is the time to buy something you can't find. Moreover, there are many interesting designs.

Abe:I know I wasn't talking earlier, but from the perspective of young people, the 80s and 90s are a fine vintage.

Kurihara:In a sense, young people probably don't have the same sense of what we thought was tacky.

Abe:I can't sell my sensibility to young people (laughs).
