37°C and fishing.
Fishing on a sunny day is nice, but honestly, it's hard this time of year when the sun is blazing hot. . But when I see a bass or get a bite, I get excited and want to stay on the lake longer. In the end, I fished for 10 hours today, catching 9 bites and 6 fish. . I'm sweating like a pig.
F-LAGSTUF-F × Blur
Flagstaff x Buller Setup
Nostalgic Britpop.
In the mid-90s, when I was into Britpop, I was so eager to argue about the factions of "Oasis or Blur?" but now I like both. I like them both equally, even to the point of wearing a Citizens uniform and drinking Prozac while reading Balzac. . The photo shows a jacket and pants with the cover of "Parklife," a masterpiece released by Blur in 1994 at the height of the Britpop movement, printed all over. When I saw it for the first time at the exhibition, I was astonished by the boldness of the print. I personally feel that there are very few Blur merch and collaborations compared to Oasis, and the timing of their first visit to Japan in 11 years was also a deciding factor in my decision to pick these jackets and pants. In addition, there were T-shirts and caps. On a side note, I re-read the lyrics of the song "Girls & Boys" from the same album, and I was surprised to see that even though it has been almost 30 years, the values of the song are not old at all. I guess Blur was ahead of his time.

THE DAY
The Day shirt.
Dignified black.
Introducing the up-and-coming brand , " THE DAY", which debuted this 2023 AW.
The Day" is an up-and-coming brand that debuted this 2023 AW. Although it is a newcomer, the designer has been working for a certain brand for many years. He is not just a rookie, but a latecomer. Take this shirt as an example.
Cotton is luxuriously used, and it has the luster of silk and the smoothness of cashmere. In addition, the garments are carefully crafted with fine stitching and time-consuming care. The pattern is also excellent, and the oversized silhouette with generous shoulder and body widths gives the garment a somewhat elegant air. It is a standard black shirt with a regular collar, but the skilled workmanship is evident everywhere, giving it a strangely professional look. This shirt has a sense of style and experience that a youngster cannot imitate. The same goes for the rest of the clothing. So, we will continue to check out the newcomer, "The Day.
Day", we will continue to check it out.

UN-USELESS
Unuseless snit.
Looking forward to the next 10 years.
Although it looks like an athletic sweatshirt from any angle, it is actually a knit. The brand's original backed knit has achieved both the durability of a sweatshirt and the suppleness of a knit, and is called "SWKNIT. In fact, I was allowed to see a wash sample after 100 washes, and neither the fabric nor the ribs had become loose; on the contrary, the texture had increased and grown into a very nice glossy finish. The classic details such as the long ribs and the gussets on both frames are eye-catching, but the fit is soft and elegant. It is a very versatile sweatshirt, or "snit," that can be worn casually or beautifully. The mock neckline is also a nice touch!

Hohokoko cap
. even if it's not Paris.
On a business trip to Paris in June, "I just want to shop for anything!" ." and forced myself to get this cap. I had no free time during my stay in Paris because I had a long list of appointments, so I stopped by Merci on my last day and took it home with me. I thought the message at the front desk was kind of nice. "SPIRITUAL
GUIDE" , which translates to "Guide for the Soul" I guess. Other messages are "NO PRESSURE," "ON VACATION," "OUT OF OFFICE," and so on.
OFF OF OFFICE," etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. The brand is "Hohokoko," and I found out later that it is a California brand. I found out later that it is a Californian brand, and that there is a store in Japan that carries them. These caps have nothing to do with Paris, but that's OK. . I like it, including the messy, unrefined look of the cap.

Mountain Hardwear
Mountain Hardwear Shirt Jacket
Shirts for use in the mountains.
When I go into the mountains , I generally wear a T-shirt and shorts. If it is cold season, I just put on a middle layer and a wind shell. However, it gets hotter as I move, so even in the middle of winter, I often wear a T-shirt and shorts while in action. Comfortable and functional, it's the best option for trail running, but it's not very interesting as a style. So I thought I'd add a little twist and try out the Mountain Hardwear Shirt Jacket. The material used is Pertex Quantum Air, which is water-resistant, durable, stretchable, and 25 times more breathable than ordinary nylon fabrics. In addition to smooth on/off, there are many features that can be used in the mountains, such as snap buttons that allow for speedy temperature control and hand pockets for storing small items. It is sure to come in handy as a supporting piece that adds a touch of style to your outfit.

Brooks
Brooks Trail Running Shoes
It is an exquisite color scheme.
In the running shoe scene, American brands have been making interesting moves in recent years. From the world's major brands, to the old guard with an established reputation for development, to the newcomers, a variety of brands are using cutting-edge sports technology to fight for supremacy. One such brand that is making moves that personally interest me is Brooks, a long-established company with a history of more than 100 years. Brooks is the most popular running shoe brand in the U.S., the country of running. The Cascadia, the 16th generation of the Cascadia, uses a soft, yet lightweight DNALOFT V2 midsole.
V2 is used for the midsole. By adding an ultra-thin plate to the inside of the midsole, the Cascadia provides excellent stability even on rough terrain. This model is versatile enough for beginners and experts alike. The exquisite color scheme, neither too flashy nor subdued, is also to my liking.

On x Distance T-shirts
Communication called running.
Since its establishment in 2010, ON has been taking the world running market by storm. Comfortable and beautifully designed running shoes are also gaining popularity in the fashion scene. On the other hand, in addition to releasing its first competitive spikes, the brand also publishes "OFF
Magazine," which takes a cultural perspective on running, and is steadily stepping up to a new stage as a brand. The growth of ON is supported by its apparel, which is as functional and beautiful as its shoes. The T-shirts introduced here are the result of a collaboration with the Paris-based running store "Distance. The base is made of "Performance T," which boasts excellent breathability and quick-drying properties. The seamless design is comfortable against the skin and features contemporary graphics unique to "Distance. In these days of easy collaborations, I personally like the pure communication through the common language of running. Incidentally, short tights and tanks are also available, so if you are interested, please check them out.

Milestone Socks
. 10 cm from the ankle.
Choosing socks can be tricky. On long trails, minor stresses on the foot area can gradually accumulate, leading to blisters and chafing on the soles, and by the time you are tired, you may feel pain. I want to be particular about the shape, thickness, feel, length, compatibility with shoes, and even appearance. The "MSS-003" socks from Milestone, a proud Japanese headlamp maker, seem to be the perfect solution to all of my selfish needs. The brand's first socks are of the tabi type, and when I touched them, I found them to be moderately thick and pleasant to the touch, just the way I like it. The toes and heels are made of Cordura nylon for added strength, while the soles are made of polyester yarn for excellent water absorption and quick-drying properties. In addition to the original pattern inspired by the director's own image of mountain scenery, the exquisite color combination, which is not seen in other companies, is also impressive. The length, 10 cm from the ankle, also shows the attention to detail of the creators. If you go to the trouble, you will want to get both colors and enjoy coordinating them.

Non Merci
Non Merci Sweatshirts & T-shirts
What is the identity of the message you are interested in?
This past January , I received a souvenir from my wife who went to Paris on a business trip. It was a sweatshirt with the words "Non Merci Paris" embroidered on the chest. I thought it was a cute and witty message and asked her about it. She told me that it was from "Merci," a select store in the Marais, a fashion spot for Parisians, and that she bought it at a pop-up store called "Non Merci" that opened near this store. I liked it and wore it quite often, and then I decided to go to Paris to cover the Fashion Week in June. In between shows and exhibitions, I was able to stop by the pop-up store. In the store, there were not only clothes, but also coffee mugs, phone cases, ashtrays, tote bags, and other kitschy items. . I examined them carefully and chose the T-shirt on the right in the photo as a souvenir for my wife. If you are planning to visit Paris in the near future, please stop by.

YAGAN STONE EYEWEAR
Yagan Stone Eyewear Sunglasses
A bottle that is clad in the aura of its creator.
A must-have item for summer is a pair of sunglasses. HOUYHNHNM's news articles cover a variety of brands, but the one I am most interested in right now is by "Yagan Stone Eyewear. I was first attracted by its presence and beauty as a product, but I was surprised when I found out who made it. The designer is Kwame Morris. He is the son of Stevie Wonder , a world-famous musician famous for his eyewear. The first model in the photo, "DYLAN," was born from his father's vast eyewear collection, music, and the culture he had been exposed to. As the name suggests, the sunglasses were inspired by Bob Dylan, and when you actually hold them in your hands, they are massive, with onyx embedded in both ends of the frame and on the temples to create a unique atmosphere. The fact that they are limited to 100 pieces worldwide is understandable. If you are interested in these sunglasses, please visit "Globespecs" to see them for yourself.

Lacoste polo shirt
Hot, too hot!
Summer is finally in full swing. Even though it is only July, it is unusually hot. I don't want to turn on the air conditioner at home as much as possible because of the high electricity bill, but even if I open the windows, the heat doesn't escape, so I end up turning it on. . Can't you be a little more accommodating with this heat? Inevitably, I tend to wear short sleeves and shorts, but this year I'm wearing a polo shirt by Lacoste, chino shorts, and Converse All Stars. The standard polo shirt colors are nice, but I was drawn to the "Eco Dye Polo Shirt" with its faded color. The organic cotton fabric is used for the deer fabric, and the crocodile logo and body are in the same color. The use of natural dyes gives each shirt a different appearance. This year, Lacoste polo shirts will get you through the summer.

There are several things that make a trip better, and for me, a suitcase is one of them. For me, a suitcase is one of them. Ease of storage, movement of the wheels, weight, and appearance. Rimowa" has all of these things that are ideal for me. My personal favorite is the aluminum type. It is a little heavier than polycarbonate ones, but the mature design does not disappoint. Newly introduced this summer is a model in the arctic color shown in the photo. Inspired by the deep blue of the Arctic Ocean, the color is beautiful and cool looking. It will be a wonderful trip when you go on a summer vacation with this bag. In addition to the suitcase, there is also a backpack and crossbody bag in the same color, so it would be nice to have them as a set.

The other day my sister and her husband were both away on business, so my mother and I decided to take care of my nephew.

Parents of the world, I really appreciate your hard work.
SPECIAL GUEST K.K.
Special Guest K.K. K. Knitted vests from
One that can be worn in mid-summer.
Like the cardigan, the knit vest is one of the must-have items of clothing for older people walking around town. I'm also too afraid to say this, but I have an image of Slasher editor-in-chief Jake Phelps wearing it a lot. I especially love cable knits because they are moderately inert, but I have the impression that many of them are made of thicker material and there are not many that can be worn in the summer. So while I was checking to see if I could find something that would be good all year round, I came across this vest that SORA, who has always been a great help to me, had posted on her Instagram one day. I didn't know about it, so I checked it out right away and found that it was the " Special Guest " that started in 2020.
K. K. which started in 2020. When I looked at the list of stores that carry the brand on their website, I saw the name of "Pulp," which is directed by Kay, a regular customer of SORA, so I went to visit them later that day. The slightly thinner cable knit can be worn over a T-shirt even in midsummer, and the navy color gives it an elegant impression. There are also beige and mustard colors available , and no matter which one you choose, you will be able to enjoy the goodness of each.

Riverside Reading Club
Riverside Reading Club Tote Bag
Ideal shape to fit an LP perfectly.
I would like to avoid backpacks in mid-summer as much as possible, and would like to use either a shoulder bag or a tote bag, but I don't have one that is just the right size to hold my LPs, and everything I have at home sticks out a bit. I don't go out to record stores for the purpose of shopping, and I only go there when I have time, so the ideal size and design is one that is not too big for everyday use. In the midst of all this, the Riverside Reading Club, a group of book lovers, recently organized a "Disk Union
Reading Club, a group of book-loving readers, recently held an event at the Disk Union Kichijoji store.
I found the ideal tote bag at a pop-up event held by the Riverside Reading Club at the Kichijoji store of Disk Union, a group of book lovers, and it was large enough to hold not only my LPs but also my laptop, books, notebook, and water bottle, a set of four items I usually carry with me when I work. . The size of the bag would be useful for a one- or two-night trip. Not to mention, the graphics drawn by KTYL are also great. I want to enjoy the taste, so I plan to use it roughly without worrying about stains, etc. . In the pop-up, Joe
Sample and Styles P records were also purchased , which I immediately put in a tote bag to take home.

TOKYO HARVEST ROOM×MOONEYES

No car, so in the room.
Who wears wingtips and blasts off in a knucklehead chopper with long forks + front and rear rigid + front no-brake. Tokyo Harvest
. My first meeting with Mr. Toriyama, who works on the "Tokyo Harvest Room," had too strong an impact on me. The sight of him freely operating a chopper with a crazy setup that I had never seen before, as if it were his own limb, was truly one word that describes how cool he is. Choppers are all about the style of the rider, and I would be too scared to ride a bike like that even if I was told I could. Such is the case with Mr. Toriyama's brand, "Tokyo," which focuses on apples from his hometown of Aomori, Japan.
Harvest
Room, a brand that focuses on the local Aomori apples. Starting out by selling apple pies and apple juice from his mobile store, he now sells apparel such as T-shirts and caps, as well as apples themselves. The Antenna Topper, released in collaboration with Moon Eyes, a car store in Honmoku, is a decorative item used by sticking it into the antenna of a car. Since I don't own a car, I place it on my bookshelf or desk at work and enjoy it as an interior decoration.

Oversized nice guy.
It's not a good way to put it, but we are in the midst of an unprecedented HIP
HOP boom. There are countless rappers, from the veteran to the young. Among them, Makoto, aka Welldone, is based in Kyoto and has a very original style. When I went back to my phone's camera roll to see when we first met, it was April 2018, and I had great memories of hopping around yakitori restaurants and clubs run by BONGBROS members and the NODAYSOFF CD that Erolin-san gave me. When I came to Tokyo later, we went to a Chinese restaurant in Nakameguro and the now-defunct Contact. Although I have not seen him for several years since then, I have learned about his recent activities through social networking sites, and since we have more mutual acquaintances, I have heard stories like, "I met Mako the other day," and I have always been interested in him. The second merchandise item from MAKOTO-Kun is the "Osaka Nikujiru Tee. The four words "Shaking Music" on the dragon-straddled MAKOTO-kun make an outstanding impact. Once you meet him, you will be captivated by his nice-guy personality, which reminds you of Tora-san. Please check out the soundtrack and go see him live.

It was produced only this year and reproduced in the same color and shape as it was 90 years ago. It is very special because it is produced in a factory in the village of Ittara, Finland, using a mouse blow. The sizes are 120 ml, 200 ml, and 280 ml, with this being the largest size.

Celebration! Flagship Store.
Studio Nicholson" recently opened its first flagship store in Aoyama, Japan. I was unable to visit the store at the time of the opening due to another matter, but the space was already stocked with fall and winter items, which whetted my appetite. The new denim on the store's fall/winter lineup is made of a firm 14-ounce fabric in a loose tapered silhouette. That line, typical of "Studio Nicholson," creates a roomy gap between the fabric and the body, making it somehow wearable even in the summer. The overall faded color is clean and very nice, with a sense of nostalgia, but not earthy. . Moreover, the fact that it is made in England makes me feel a sense of care, which I am glad in a humble way. Speaking of summer, T-shirts and jeans are the most common outfit. . but it's still hot. . but there is a mysterious charm that makes me want to wear them.

This one uses chrome-free tanned leather for the upper, recycled terrycloth for the lining, and other materials, and is completely handmade by artisans in Portugal. If you're going to buy something, you want something safe, and if it's well-made, it should last a long time.

Comfortable with the ordinary.
. When I look at clothes, I am drawn to seasonal themes. Especially when I am told, "This season's theme is XX," I tend to follow the whole picture, not just a single piece of clothing. Maybe it's just my profession, but ... when I saw the clothes of "We Will" at the start of the fall/winter 2023 season, I was told that, unlike usual, there was no theme for this season. I was told that there was no theme for this season, and I immediately felt as if I could see all the clothes flatly and clearly. For example, the quality of the fabrics. This border T is also made of a soft and comfortable fabric, and is a high-quality garment made from something that is already commonplace. The fabric has a firm but slightly wet feel, and it is just very comfortable. Combined with the slightly wide pattern, it made me want to wear it alone in the summer. I think it would be great if worn simply with shorts and denim.
