First haircut of the year.
Looking back, exactly one year ago, I reported on my hair cut in this column under the heading of "Haircut. I can cut my hair once a year, don't need to set it in detail, and just tie it up when I have trouble. I will have long hair until I go bald.

Uhrich's Three Piece
No compromise whatsoever!
In this job, I have many opportunities to come into contact with clothing, and I love the moment when I encounter an item that is new and has a metamorphic essence that I have never seen before. By "perverse," of course, I mean "in a good way. This new piece from "Woolrich" is just like that. The fabric used is a dead stock, oddly woven fabric, and by daring to use the reverse side as the front side, you can enjoy the unique nep (clumps of fibers) that give it a used look. This may sound like a vintage-like work item, but Woolrich uses it for a three-piece jacket, vest, and pants, and each item has a different silhouette. You can wear it as a three-piece or separately. Whether worn as a three-piece or separately, this is an item that will make all clothing lovers groan, and is both spectacular and worth wearing.

PIERRE HARDY
Pierre Aldi mini Boston bag
For autumn outings.
When I was younger, I used to think that there was no point in having a bunch of bags, but nowadays I think that the more bags I have, the better. Maybe my clothes have changed, or maybe there are more places I can go, but I have finally come to understand what is called "TPO. At the age of 33. What I lacked was a bag that was a little more elegant and appropriate for going out. I picked up a mini Boston from Pierre
I picked up a mini Boston from Pierre Aldi. The brand's standard bag is the cube pattern, but this one is made of glossy all-black leather and is large enough to hold a 500 ml plastic bottle. It also has a generous gusset, so you can avoid the problem of "not being able to fit things in," which is the only and biggest drawback of a beautiful bag. Furthermore, the included shoulder strap can be attached to the handle, so there is no need to worry about the bag losing its shape when it is slung over the shoulder. It is a perfect solution.

Next time in Paris.
The black color is faded with coarse sewing. Star studs, irregularly added buttonholes, different buttons attached to them, and a handwritten message on the back...it has the atmosphere of "an item that someone has remade without permission" sometimes seen at vintage clothing stores. This denim jacket, which gives off the atmosphere of "an item that someone has remade by themselves" that you sometimes see at vintage clothing stores, was awarded the "TOKYO
FASHION AWARD
This denim jacket, which has the feel of "an item that someone has remade on their own," is a new item for 24AW by TOKIO, one of the "TOKYO FASHION AWARD 2025" winning brands. As the brand positions this season's items as a "return to basics," the items express a special experience that is hard to put into words, like when you fell in love at first sight at a clothing store, or when you put your sleeves on it for the first time. By the way, the English text on the back has a meaning, so if you are interested, please search for "Pastor Alfred D. Souza".

CIGARRO
Cigarro mouthwash with shot glass and wooden box
Before meeting someone.
Recently, S, a member of our editorial staff, and I often go to a certain major pasta chain restaurant, and we are both hooked on their "Octopus Peperoncino". We are both hooked on the "octopus peperoncino" there. It is made with garlic, and we are captivated by its flavor and aroma, which has a strong impact. But then came the problem. In exchange for the satisfaction, I return to work with a strong bad breath, which is very bad if I have plans to meet someone. This is why I always have this on my desk. It is not a whiskey, but a mouthwash from the total fragrance brand "Cigarro. First of all, it looks interesting, doesn't it? The bottle, the shot glass, and the wooden box that comes with it. I am aware of the mismatch with my desk, but it is a unique package that would make a great addition to my vanity at home. The scent of fennel, rose, and other essential oils freshens up my palate, so I can eat my favorite peperoncino anytime I want without hesitation.

It's gotten so big!
Recently, my dog, who lives with me, celebrated his 11th birthday. And my dog, who lives at home with my parents, will turn 6 years old in October. He was just big enough to fit in the palm of my hand.... It makes me cry. I often hear people say, "If it were a human, he'd be 100 years old," but from my point of view, they are truly 11 and 6 years old. They are still children. In fact, I would like to think so (laughs). I get a lot of laughter and healing every day.
SEDAN ALL-PURPOSE × Dickies
Sedan All Purpose x Dickies Jacket & Pants
New Classic Workwear.
When I saw this collaboration, I remembered buying a Dickies work jacket at a thrift store when I was a student. I often wore so-called "high street" brands back then, but workwear in particular was tough to wear, had a long life span, and was very reliable for someone like me who didn't have a lot of money to spare. Dickies" is still loved by many people today, but it has been updated in the Sedan All Purpose style.
The jacket and pants have a nostalgic feel reminiscent of the good old days, but also have a freshness that evokes a modern atmosphere. The selected colors are also excellent, and you will have a hard time deciding which one to choose. The details of this collection are so meticulously crafted that you will have a hard time deciding which one to choose.

After 20 years.
Twenty years ago, Timberland released the "7 EYE CLASSIC LUG," a moccasin shoe combining a GORE-TEX® membrane and a Vibram outsole. It is still fresh in our minds that the shoes were reissued in a special order project with "BEAMS" in June this year, and now the OG model will finally appear again in the inline line! The coloring is Rootbeer x Olive, faithfully reproducing the color scheme of the time, which is a major point that cannot be overlooked.

JanSport × BEAMS
Jansport x Beams bag pack
Long-awaited new work.
JUNSPORT bagpacks have always had a strong fan base, but the items introduced here are a collaboration between JUNSPORT and BEAMS that are different from their inline lineup. Each time they are released, the ease-of-use and innovative yet timeless design of these items always draws a huge response, and I personally get excited every time I see them. The newest item features a front pocket that can also be used as a pouch when removed. By combining the two, it can also be used as a shoulder bag, making it an amazing 3-way bag. This bag is perfect for everyday use, of course, but it is also sufficient for short trips. Some colors are still barely in stock, so if you are interested in this bag, it would be a good idea to purchase it as soon as possible.

First Dow.
Just a few days ago I went on a business trip to Osaka. The reason for this will become clear in a couple of weeks, but in between business trips, I had the good fortune to see a solo performance by Dow 9000. My first experience of Dow was different from what I had seen in videos and on TV. I could feel the subtle distance between human beings, and the exquisite sense of humor in the space, which made me laugh hard. I am curious about Sho Hasumi! I would love to cover him in Huinamu someday.

Unclear Kung Fu Shirt
Autumnal Kung Fu.
There is a danger in kung fu shirts and Chinese shirts. Some of them can become cosplay, and I feel that it is surprisingly difficult to bring them into the realm of fashion. Unsquare is a unisex brand that creates clothes based on interpretations of men's fashion styles such as military, vintage, mode, and work. The designer, Yumika Oka, expresses her feelings in an honest manner and develops new products each season, transcending the boundaries of genres. This piece is a kung-fu jacket, yet it is elegant and full of sex appeal. This is probably due to the use of expressive velvet fabric, the large patch pockets, and the loose fit, all of which were chosen with great care. I like clean pants, but I'm in the mood for a more casual look with work pants or denim. Just one pair of these pants will make your closet look like fall at once.

POSTALCO
Postalco Button Vest
A dress with a difference.
I like the season in between. I like seasons that are neither too hot nor too cold, and of course I like clothes to wear during such seasons. For fall, long T-shirts, cowhide jackets, and down vests are good examples, and this item from Postalco is just what I want to wear right now. It has a lightweight appearance, but the wool padding makes it breathable and warm. The high collar and boldly cut sleeves create a unique shape that makes layering fun. Gimmicks typical of the brand are scattered throughout, starting with the fabric. The ripple fabric is a combination of cotton and nylon, which gives the fabric depth and softness. Furthermore, it is decorated with original buttons made of buffalo horn, has an inside pocket, and is minimalistic yet meticulous. Postalco" is a company that keeps its distance from the context of fads and fashions, and polishes its own creativity on a daily basis. This vest also shows that kind of spirit.

Gourmet Jeans Sweatpants
Justice that is not straightforward.
Whenever I see the Gourmet Jeans collection, I am always struck by how much potential there is left in fabrics, and how much more there is to explore in the pants category. And I am also attracted to the way they create things in a world that has nothing to do with trends, even for a cynical person like me. These pants are knitted with cotton on the surface and silk on the reverse side. The fabric is dyed with a mokume yarn, so if you look closely, you can see unevenness, which also brings out the fun of these pants. Because they are not a smooth green, they can be worn with a variety of tops. The light blue drawcord attached to the hem also adds a subtle spice to the pants, giving them a unique character. An unlikely pair for the fall season.

Camper high cut shoes
Fight the Season.
As the weather gets colder, the length and weight of the clothes we wear become longer and heavier, and we feel the season through the sensations in our bodies. Shoes are also becoming a way to protect oneself from the cold and weather, and these interesting shoes from the new Camper collection are on display. The shoes are based on the motif of boxing shoes, while retaining the base of boots, which is the brand's forte. The leather, made in an environmentally friendly way, has been damaged to give it this deep look. You can enjoy wearing them with shorts and socks, or peeking out from the hem of long pants. While there are cutting-edge pairs that don't match any other brand, there are also austere pairs like these that are based on the motif of shoes from the past. Camper" is sure to keep us entertained for years to come.

Finally, the season is in.
The major European soccer leagues have started. I haven't been able to watch that many games yet because my body hasn't caught up yet, but I did check out City vs. Arsenal on my rear tie. I was not surprised that this card was not interesting, especially in the second half. Arsenal was trying to pull a goal back, and City was trying to get a point, and I couldn't get enough of their battles. Recently, I prefer such a game where both teams are trying to find their way in a close score rather than a no-guard battle where many points are scored.
bal × TAION
VAL × Taion Down Jacket
Down even in a mild winter.
Clothes that are reversible, detachable, or can be worn twice are great, aren't they? Even the outlandish argument that "it's the equivalent of two pieces, so it's practically half the price" is strangely persuasive and convincing. The down jacket made by VAL and Taion is one such item. As you can see, if you remove the sleeves, it transforms into a down vest. Of course, there are many 2-way items like this, but they are usually cumbersome because the detachable part is a zip. But this one has snap buttons, making it easy to put on and take off. If you feel hot, you can immediately change to a vest, which is stress-free. Also, it is lightweight and packable despite being filled with 800-fill-power down, and the front pockets are inconspicuously placed along the transition line. The warm winter has made some people think that down jackets are no longer necessary, but VAL and Taion have created a down jacket that will stand up to the times.

CONVERSE
Converse Sneakers
It is still low-tech.
I have been wearing "Converse" All Star high-cut shoes since I was in junior high school. Recently, I have often worn high-tech shoes in search of comfort, but just recently I found a pair of worn-out All-Stars when I was sorting through my shoe closet, and when I tried them on for the first time in a while, I thought they were great. I found a pair of old All-Stars when I was sorting through my shoe box, and after wearing them for the first time in a long time, I realized that they were really good. This is why, when I looked at the Converse lineup again, I noticed the "Weapon," a modified version of a basketball shoe that first appeared in 1986, and the athletic shoe-like look is what I'm in the mood for right now. The slouchy silhouette and raw-colored midsole give the shoes a laid-back vibe. I think they go with any outfit, but personally, I would choose "wepons" for my feet when I wear a stiff coat or jacket.

O.A.O.'s shoes always have a freshness that makes you say, "I see what you mean. The brand's latest creation is a pair of side gore boots inspired by a chair. The eye-catching feature is the caulking on the upper. As you may have noticed, the chair that comes to mind when you think of this design is the "LES

CHAIR". This chair is said to have been selected by French architect Charlotte Perriand when she designed a ski resort facility, and is iconic for its steel pipe and leather riveted to it. Aside from the unexpectedness of such a reference, the choice of the steer leather upper and Vibram rubber Trek sole with its excellent grip and slip resistance is also outstanding. The accumulation of these individual details is what creates the strength of the product as a whole.

ONE EAR BRAND
One Year Brand Bandanas
Free bandana.
I used to use a bandana that I received as a novelty from a certain brand, and I was surprised at how versatile it was: I used it to wrap around my head, wipe my hands, or spread it on the floor instead of using it as a sheet. Moreover, even if they get dirty, they can be washed immediately, and I rather like the way they look after they have been used for a long time and have become tattered. This is why I became interested in bandanas. However, I don't really care about the details of the bandanas from the same period, but what is important is the quality of the pattern. In that sense, I was intrigued by One Year Brand's bandanas. I picked up three bandanas this time, all of which are decorated with mushrooms, cats, campers, and other unique and free designs. With such gorgeous designs, they are sure to be useful as autumn and winter accents, and I personally think I'll wrap them around my neck as a warm-up measure as well.

It doesn't feel like it at all, but "Touken" celebrated its first anniversary. The sauna here is so intense that I only visit other facilities when I go on business trips, but I think I will go to "Jeetopia" after a long time. The character of the akasuri lady is very strong in this facility.
NORMAL EXPERT for Graphpaper
Normal Expert Four Graph Paper Setup
Warmed by the power of air.
This is an item that made us realize that the evolution of materials is tremendous. The collaboration between "Graph Paper" and "Normal Expert" has continued since last season. This time, we are developing a set-up that uses a special hollow yarn "super
superzero," a special hollow yarn. What is so special about this "super zero
What is amazing about "super zero" is its heat-insulating effect. The core of the yarn is melted in a liquid process, resulting in a hollow structure that contains plenty of air for a lightweight feel. As mentioned above, the air retains heat, making it cool in the current season and warm in the winter. This yarn, which is said to be difficult to dye because of its structure, is expressed here in black, which is at the limit of its density. This work, excellent in both design and function, will be quite useful.

A model unique to Puma.
The mainstream of sneaker manufacturing these days is to brush up archived models in a modern way. Since last year, many of them have been low-tech sneakers with a T-shaped toe, the so-called T-toe style. Following this trend, PUMA has taken a unique approach and released the "SPEEDCAT
OG," which was reissued in June of this year. In fact, PUMA has been developing items for the motorsports category for many years, and the "SPEEDCAT" model is based on the fireproof racing shoes worn by F1 drivers in the 1980s and 1990s. This new color release features a minimalist design with a white leather upper and black and gray foam strips. If you are tired of the terrace style, how about these shoes made with an innovative approach to motorsports?

F/CE.®︎ × TAION
F.C.E. x Tyon down vest and pants
Both for inner use and as a mainstay.
Taion's inner down jackets have received rave reviews from all over the world. This year, a winter-like winter is predicted, so we checked the lineup and found a collaboration with "F.C.E.". This particular set-up is made of lightweight, tear-resistant ripstop fabric and infused with high-quality white duck down (800 FP). It is true to size since it is intended for innerwear, but since the silhouette can be adjusted with zippers on the sides and hem, it may be used as a mainstay in town. It also has water repellency and is packable for compact transportation, so I would like to wear it during breaks in trail running when the weather turns chilly.

Toto Ken's Curry
This taste retort: ⁉︎
Today marks exactly one year since the opening of TOTOKEN. I feel nostalgic for the time when we were preparing for the opening of the store, purchasing equipment, greeting neighbors, and making other preparations, not knowing where we were going or where to go. As for the most recent "Toto Ken" event, the month-long event with adidas ended last weekend, and the pop-up with Bling is scheduled to start on October 7 (Monday). We hope to continue to set up various events that will serve as touchpoints for running and sauna. On a different note, we have started serving curry in the bar space on the first floor. We just serve retort pouch curry with rice, but it tastes so good. If your taste buds are more sensitive after the sauna, you will feel even more so. There are always about five kinds of curry available, and the flavors are changed regularly. Although not pictured, my favorite is the "Aubergine," a staple of the location bento. It's hard to stock up on it, perhaps due to the "Slippery Tales" effect of Kazutoyo Koyaburi....

Number one in the standing food area.
A curry restaurant called "Bombay" is located in Ebisu. I am sure many of you know it because it is a famous restaurant, but I have been quite addicted to it ever since a senior colleague told me about it on our way home from a photo shoot. The unforgettable spiciness is addictive, and the sense of accomplishment after finishing the meal is amazing. There is no other curry that can replace Bombay.

Ebicon polo shirts
Normal is best.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about clothes, but there are times when I choose an outfit for the day without giving it much thought. For reasons such as lack of time in the morning. In such cases, basic items that I can always wear are reliable. The polo shirts I found at Ebicon, one of my favorite brands at 1LDK, will come in handy not only this fall and winter, but for many years to come. I love collared tops to begin with, and it's even better that the ounce is not too thick, so I can wear it without hesitation. If there is a color variation like this polo shirt in black, gray, and navy, I would most likely choose navy. In addition, the price range is just right, and I like the brand because it is a brand that allows me to enjoy life-sized fashion, which makes me feel close to it. I think clothes that look natural are wonderful.

Palante crossbody bag
Fits the body.
This is the age we live in, and even brands we don't know often catch our attention because of the atmosphere on Instagram. Of course, there are evaluations to be made after you actually hold the item in your hands, but I think that brands that have a cool way of showing off their products are the first to catch your eye. Recently, I've been looking at [Palante]. It is fashionable, but it also incorporates the realities of the outdoors into its visuals and has a sense of humor. I was attracted to the exquisite coloring and unusual shapes of the items from "Palante," which are fresh and new. The crossbody bag I chose this time is made of Robic nylon, which is the lightest material used for nylon bags, friction-resistant ripstop nylon, and Ultra Mesh, which is more durable than usual, making it quite tough. And it's not just a simple satchel, it has straps that allow you to wear it snugly around your body. This bag is packed with details that hikers, fishermen, bicyclists, and everyone else will love.

Found Feather Hat
Warm to the ears.
I like hats, and now I have about 20 hats, but I don't wear hats very often. Like sneakers, I buy new hats when I feel like wearing them, and I smile as I add new favorites. It's almost like collecting them. This time, we would like to introduce items from "Found Feathers," a company based in Ishikawa Prefecture and run by Toronto-born designer Manalang Manalang. The design is universal and never gets old, but when you look for it, you may be surprised to find it. This is a brand that can scratch that itch. This flight cap can be worn normally with the earpieces down, but the beige lining is a key point, so I wanted to show it off by tying it on top. I heard that they recently opened a factory not only in Ishikawa Prefecture but also in Tokyo, so there may be more places where you can buy them. They also have a wide variety of other fall/winter items this year, so if you didn't know about this brand, I highly recommend you to check it out.
