Nice to meet you. Hello, good evening, good afternoon.
My name is Okamoto, I am 170cm and weigh 48kg, and I run this shop.
It's been a month and a half since we opened, and we've been dragging our feet, but I think it's about time to start writing some blog-like articles.
Before I get into that, I'm often asked, what should I call this restaurant? I'll answer that question here.
You could just say "I'm a receiver" (my brain is only a receiver), but I find it too much trouble so I just answer "I'm a receiver."
At first, I thought it would be good to call it My Breeze or something like that, which is an abbreviation of My Bloody Valentine, but since it's separated by parentheses, I decided that receiver would be fine.
Call it whatever you like.
Now, let's talk about the product.
My first blog will be about refomed, a company I used at my previous job.
We first met in 21AW, and have been friends since the very beginning.
Greetings to the first shop, first brand, and first designer.
Designer Ando's family is a military officer, so refomed focuses on Japanese workwear, an area that other brands have not focused on until now.
"When painting a wall on-site, I turn my clothes inside out."
"When my grandfather was young, he apparently came to Tokyo with just one drawstring bag."
You can make cool clothes using this.
Simple and clear: he incorporates his own experiences into his clothing.
We only see the finished garments, but it's amazing how much thought goes into what designers put into their work.
Refomed was the first time I realized this.
However, I don't think there is a brand whose starting point in production is a lieutenant colonel.
Yes, I'm talking about clothes.
The Castro jumper has become a classic.
Depending on the season, the motif is either MA-1 or L2B.
This is a doka jacket with a boa lining that is popular among Japanese construction workers.
surely!
People on site are wearing them!
The length is such that the belt is visible, and it's paired with knickerbockers, work gloves, and navy tabi shoes!
What's great about this is that they officially call it a dokajan, even though it could easily be seen as a negative fashion image.
The collar is removable, making it a 2-way design.
This is where the seasonal differences are most apparent, and this time it's a boa-like fleece made from acrylic and polyester.
Nylon twill fabric with a moderate sheen.
Apparently it's difficult to create the wavy look that occurs when this zipper is closed.
Thanks to the recycled nylon, it looks softer than a regular military jacket.
There is no oxygen mask tab on the front.
It may or may not be present depending on the season, but this time it has a simple appearance, including the buttons mentioned below, so it does not get in the way of your style.
Large flap pocket.
Normally the snap buttons are on the outside, but here they are placed between the fabrics, reducing the visual detail.
Cigar pocket on the upper arm.
Cigars, cigarettes, ballpoint pens, etc.
Please put it in.
The sleeve ribbing is 70% acrylic and 30% wool.
It has a sturdy two-tiered rib and is made with a wool blend instead of 100% acrylic, making it soft and warm.
Shoulder epaulettes naturally become simpler as the era progresses.
However, the refomed look like the epaulettes have been torn off.
There is a tab-like feature on the shoulder that adds a slight accent.
Storm flap.
This is more like an L-2B.
When you write a sentence, you don't search for anything.
Mobilize all current knowledge.
If anyone knows more, please let me know.
The zipper pull has a brown handle and a holder on the back.
It's cute with various charms attached.
Wearing a 170cm person
refomed/CASTRO JAMPER size 3
Reformed/WRIST PATCH WIDE SHIRT Size 2
refomed/FRESH MAN DENIM WIDE PANTS by EDWIN - USED Size 4
ABELIA EDOWARD GOUCHA/AEG CAP IRREVERSIBLE
Dokajan is clothing worn for work on site.
I wanted to betray that, so I tied it up.
However, the silhouette is super wide.
The pants are clearly a size over, but that's typical for skinny people, as they're never tight around the waist.
I don't mind.
However, as a guideline, we recommend size 2 for people 170cm tall.
Up to 175cm size 3, up to 180cm size 4.
You can wear a tie with refomed shirts, but the neck is quite wide so it doesn't feel too tight even when tied up.
It's not that I like big clothes, but I like clothes that make me think, "This is how it's made, so I'll wear it like this."
refomed/AZEAMI THERMAL TEE size 2
refomed/AZEAMI THERMAL PANTS size 2
HIDAKA/VINTAGE WATCH BELT NARROW size M
I removed the collar.
I've always loved the relaxed feel of this ribbed collar.
However, it lacks cohesion, so I'll add some red accents.
My favorite Azeami Thermal feels very relaxed when worn as a top and bottom.
Place a belt at the waist to mark the top and bottom.
Since last season, the pants have had belt loops and have a straighter silhouette!
The previous one was good, but this silhouette is also good.
Although there are many military-based items, the good thing about refomed is that it's not too military-style.
Since I have the chance, I'll choose this red door.
The reason I first thought about writing on this jacket is because it also represents CASTRO as a hard worker.
It's not a suit, and there's no design that makes you feel like working.
However, the name of this jacket implies that it is a hardworking jumper.
It means getting motivated to write properly.
Ato No Miso Konekone is the catchphrase of Compile, the company that made my favorite game, Puyo Puyo.
It may be difficult to do it every day, but I will write whenever I can.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.
