walenodeWell Nord Knitwear

Understated design and reliable quality.

In recent years, high-quality brands have emerged one after another from knit manufacturers. Wernode, which will start in the 2016 AW season, is one such knitwear brand. The brand creates a variety of looks by slightly different knitting methods, processing, and materials, and we picked up these two pieces this time. The black one is a yarn that combines the luster of lambswool with the softness of merino wool, and is characterized by its moist touch and smoothness to the skin. The gray one is made of luxurious yak, whose fibers are as fine and soft as cashmere. I have come to think that when it comes to knitwear, I want to wear only the highest quality, and I will do my best to promote this "Well Nord" brand.

JOURNAL STANDARD relumeNew Quality Made by Journal Standard Rerum

Colors that make me look forward to fall.

As you may know, the select store "Journal Standard" has various lines. The one that I personally think has been offering the most interesting proposals recently is "JOURNAL STANDARD RELUME. The brand's selections are also very sophisticated, but the original "New Quality Made" series, which I have featured this time, is the best of them all. This season's collection is based on the theme of camel, and it has the perfect balance of earthiness and elegance. To be honest, I think it takes a certain amount of character and sense to wear it well, but I am fascinated by the stance of a select store that is willing to propose such a half-step-ahead proposal in its original collection.

WILLY CHAVARRIAWillie Chavarria's new collection

A set of ruggedness and elegance.

Since my body is an XS size, I tend to wear domestic brands more often, and I tend to introduce them to you, but of course, I also look at imports, and I do so quite extensively. Recently, I've been really into Willie Chavarria, aka Willie. Willie is a very strong designer with a lot of tattoos, but the clothes he makes are very delicate. His collections, which are born from his meticulous selection of materials, show a gap between him and the designers themselves, in a good way. The silhouettes are loose, influenced by the Chicano style. . It is a magical brand that manages to be elegant in spite of its loose silhouette.

KAPTAIN SUNSHINECaptain Sunshine's pants.

. as if you were wearing a sleeping bag.

Mr. Kojima, the designer of "Captain Sunshine," is a senior resident of Kamakura, and he is always a nice and peaceful person. Nice people do not always make nice clothes, but Mr. Kojima makes nice clothes. Nice, nice, nice, I'm sorry for being so loud. . I always end up ordering something at exhibitions, and this time it was these pants. I like the silhouette that tapers gently from the relaxed waist, but what I find most appealing is the material. They are filled with padding, or to be more precise, PrimaLoft, which has excellent heat-retaining properties, and they are fluffy anyway. It looks moderately warm, and although summer has just started, I am looking forward to it getting colder, and this is one such pair.

THE NORTH FACEThe North Face backpacks

It is an excellent three birds with one stone.

In order to make time for running efficiently, I always carry a backpack that I can run with. I need a backpack that can hold my work gear, my running clothes, and even my lunch, and that fits well enough to keep my back from shaking when I run. The North Face's FP 25 backpack is designed for fastpacking, which falls somewhere between a hike and a run. As the name suggests, it has a moderate capacity of 25 liters, and the vest-shaped shoulder harness and waist belt with pockets provide excellent stability. As you can see, it looks really stylish. It can be used in town, can be used for running, and can even be used for hiking. It's really useful.

SIMPLE HYDRATIONSimple Hydration water bottles

New as a style .

Surprisingly, I like running in the middle of summer. It is truly exhilarating to run in the blazing sun without worrying about sweating profusely. By the time I finish, my running clothes are soaked with sweat and I feel the weight of the sweat on my body. . The essential part of such summer running is to drink water frequently. However, you don't want to break your running rhythm, so it would be nonsense to stop and use the park's water supply. . It is preferable to be able to hydrate smoothly and stylishly while running. This is where the Simple Hydration water bottle comes in. The unique hook shape of the bottle fits comfortably in the hand and on the hip, boasts amazing stability, and the way it fits into the waistband of running pants is a new style of storage. The large cap for speedy water supply and easy cleaning is also a nice feature. The fact that it is "made in the USA" also whets the appetite.

Basically, I hate cleaning , but I love tidying up. It feels really good to organize things and have them organically placed where they belong. . especially if it is my room. However, there is always an overflow of things. So, I throw all the unorganized items into a big box. However, when I was thinking that boxes are also tasteless, I found the "Canvas Laundry Tote" by L.L. Bean. Although it was originally intended for throwing laundry in, the design, based on the famous "Boat and Tote" motif, would easily fit in as a room interior. With a height of 58 cm and a diameter of 48 cm, it has the storage capacity to hold a variety of items. It would look great even if you buy a large number of them and display them in your room.

patagoniaPatagonia Expedition Sewing Kit

. in case of emergency.

Although I am not good at sewing, I admire a man who can quickly solve problems with the clothes he wears without panicking. However, it is not smart to always carry a needle and thread in one's purse. That's why we selected Patagonia's Expedition Sewing Kit. In addition to a full-fledged sewing kit that includes a duralumin punch for sewing shoe soles, sturdy needles, nylon thread, buttons, and reinforcing stickers, the suede carrying case that comes with the kit is also adorable, as only Patagonia can make it. Although I will only use it in case of emergency, I think it is an excellent item that will make me look forward to the time when that emergency does come.

KEENKeen Sandals

A reliable partner.

I went to Fuji Rock for the first time in my life. My personal best act was Butch and Leccoli. . I missed it last time, so I was very emotional to have my wish come true. Moreover, it hardly rained for all three days, and it was truly a great festival that deserved its 20th anniversary. However, the three days of Fuji Rock, with its vast terrain, can be quite tiring on the legs and back. The KEEN NEWPORT H2 is a comfortable support for such a demanding experience. Not only are they amphibious, but they also have good tightness, cushioning, and return. The toes are also protected, so you don't have to worry about getting your toe stepped on in a crowd and having your toenail peeled off. As a result, I returned home safely without any injuries. I am already itching to go back next year.

AppleApple's 12.9-inch iPad Pro

The days of the notebook are over.

Although it is difficult to convey from the photo, the "iPad Pro" first overwhelmed me with the size of the actual screen. Putting aside detailed specifications and specs, the processing speed and the more sensible operation completely overturned my previous image of the iPad. In my case, I use it mainly for work. E-mail, calendar, and notes for meetings and composition are the minimum necessary functions. However, these three things have been around for a while, and in addition to this, I think this gear is useful for people who edit and design for a living, as it allows me to convert my notes directly into PDF files and send them via e-mail, and to easily create composition rough drafts with the Apple Pencil. . I'm ready to say goodbye to the "11-inch MacBook Air" I've been using.

CULTCLUBCult Club Cut and Sew

The eye is exquisite.

If you like black culture, this illustration will definitely ring a bell. I dare not explain. This ultimate bad-ass illustration was drawn by a boy from Seattle who is just 9 years old. His name is Young Lennox. Influenced by his rap-loving father, he has been drawing pictures with various artists as motifs, and his unique style of drawing with markers has been attracting a lot of attention on the Internet, and he has held solo exhibitions in New York and Los Angeles, and recently in Japan. Of course, he came to Japan with his mom. The illustrations are copyright-threatening, but if it is a cute little boy who is drawing them, no one will complain. . The illustration by Mr. Lennox is very exquisite and has a very good eye for detail. I am planning to buy the original one someday.

MOONSTARMoonstar Sneakers

Autumn/winter coloring.

Men have a weakness for words like "military" and "work. The "HI BASKET W" by Moonstar, in black, coyote, and beige, all in the same color from the laces to the sole, is a pair that is both sturdy and elegant, and we fell in love with them at first sight. The vulcanizing process, which can only be produced in a few factories in Japan, is used to produce these shoes. The sole is supple and soft, yet strong and unbreakable, so even if you wear them every day, the toe portion will not crack. This fall/winter, I had a strong desire to wear low-tech sneakers for the first time in a while, so I decided to get these three pairs for the time being. I decided to go with the larger size (29cm) and tighten the laces tightly.

Digawell Shirts

I had always assumed that "Digawell" shirts were known for their basic, easy-to-wear, standard shapes. However, as if to say that stagnation is a form of degeneration, the company has been creating new shirts. The DIGAWEL4 navy shirt on the left is a basic plus work shirt with pockets of various sizes on the front, while the DIGAWEL dungarees shirt on the right is a unique style that uses cuffs instead of buttons on the front. The dungaree shirt on the right, on the other hand, is a unique style that uses cuffs instead of buttons on the front. This is a good example of how a simple change in buttons can make a big difference in the impression of a shirt. The sense and sense of exquisite distance from the basics that does not compromise the basic feel, but does not end there, is as outstanding as ever. I think this is a brand that makes us feel beyond the basics, and is a brand that is sought after now and in the future.

AmbA.M.B.'s "SISLEY" shoes

This cuteness and functionality is obvious when you see it.

." is a shoe brand that is also handled by the store "Unroute. Not to be a tiger, but it is a proof that fashion and functionality are combined at a high dimension. The charm of these shoes is, after all, their voluminous lasts and soles. The all-black suede is elegant, so it does not have an overpowering presence, but rather, its voluminousness gives the shoe an exquisite flavor. . And the thickness of the sole. Just the form itself is enough to make you feel at home. Of course, the pants to be worn with these shoes are baggy pants, but I think they would go well with slacks in particular. I feel that it would be unprofessional to talk about the functional aspect of this comfortably soft and fluffy feeling, but what I want to say loud and clear is that it is very comfortable to wear. When you actually put your foot through the shoe, you will notice that the insole uses a leather three-dimensional cup insole that wraps around your foot, and the Vibram outsole also fills in the ball of the foot, making the shoe extremely comfortable to wear. These are shoes that are both pleasant to look at and comfortable to wear.

PRISTINEPristine Underwear

The idea is to use the best materials for underwear.

As you probably know, the underwear style of a cool guy is usually Tony Leung's white briefs in the movie "Planet in Love" or Masahiko Kimura's (probably) white cotton pants as seen in the famous book "Why Didn't Masahiko Kimura Kill Rikidozan? In this sense, the underwear introduced here is the latter. The natural color, which looks as if it has been taken from raw materials to which nothing has been added, is full of masculinity that eliminates waste. The design with the brand name and other information on the lower front part is military-like and graceful. Many people may have experienced the charm of organic cotton in T-shirts, but this underwear is made of the finest organic cotton, and the pattern and sewing are carefully designed to ensure a comfortable feel and fit. The specifications have been thoroughly considered to ensure a comfortable fit and feel. I always agree with the opinion that in order to achieve true "my style," one must be particular about what he or she wears every day, so to speak. I guess it's like a "style" complex. If this is the case, my answer is to follow the advice and stick to underwear.

How are you all doing through the sleepless nights? So, let's start with pajamas from "Sunspel". Originally started as a luxury underwear brand, these pajamas are comfortable and pleasant to the touch. The quality backed by a history of over 150 years in business is no joke. You may even feel as if you will be able to sleep better just by wearing it. In addition, the elegant use of colors and the smart silhouette created by the resilient cotton are also typical of "Sunspel. In particular, the tops look as if they could be worn as shirts during the daytime and not look out of place. In fact, that was one of the reasons I was interested in this collection.

These goods made of melamine resin are commonly used as amenities in such hotel rooms. The extremely simple design, which could be called a mass of cleanliness, and the durability of melamine resin, which is said to be the most durable of all plastic materials, make it ideal for use at home. They will not break even if dropped, and they are resistant to scratches and stains, which is just great, right? And yet it is so inexpensive. I know this recommendation sounds like a mail order program, but I really recommend it.

So I was interested in the Scrap Wood series by Piet Heijn Eek, a designer from Eindhoven, Holland, which is known as one of his best-known works. As you can read, he uses scrap wood collected from nature, and everything that exists is one-of-a-kind. These are products that stimulate the hearts of men. This is produced as a stool, but its compact size (H430 x W360 x D360) makes it quite practical as a side table, and it can also be stacked. Stacking several stools together is also very picturesque.

I know it's not a good thing from a feng shui perspective, but I've been using the same one I have now for a little over five years, and before that, I had been using the same one for seven years.

Summer of Men.

. I don't like to actively use the word "chill. I think "lazing around" is a more appropriate word, and "lazing around" should not have any externally packaged stylishness or coolness. What is important when relaxing is first of all to be able to relax and feel at ease. Let's say that it's not a good idea to put something on Instagram. . The item that allows you to primitively enjoy such private time is loungewear. Recently, fashionable pajamas have been attracting a lot of attention, but in reality, the legitimate loungewear for men in summer is a pair of panties and a T-shirt! . That's why we recommend a set from Phil Melange. The brand's cotton is supple and soft, boasting outstanding comfort, while at the same time showing off the lines of the body. In order to prevent the possibility of noticing changes in your stomach area over time, it is important to be aware of your own physical sensations on a regular basis. . In that sense, this nude set is appropriate.
