ミリタリーの知と美の再構築

Reconstructing Military Wisdom and Beauty

I heard it was West Point.

What comes to mind is probably the name of a military training school.

But in the world of fabrics

"West Point" is a philosophy.

High density, elegant luster, and durability.

It was also used in the uniforms of the United States Military Academy.

This classic 36 count double yarn (36/2)

West Point Cross

It is truly an "officer class" fabric.

Such prestigious materials

This series captures the current atmosphere.

Bio-processing removes fine fuzz

While adding a softness that clings to your hands,

Then we add repulsion processing to it.

In an acrobatic way

Like a crispy brioche

The texture is firm on the outside and flexible on the inside.

was born.

A unique glossy finish remains as an essence.

This is more like texture art than just "fabric."

Wear this fabric There are two types of products.

The shorts I wrote about before

The best to watch out for this time.

The inspiration for this was

Late 1960s to early 1970s

Adopted by the US military

M-69 Fragmentation Protective Vest.

It can be said to be the ancestor of the so-called bulletproof vest.

This model has been stripped of its heavy appearance.

Eliminate the collar. The concept of military "armed"

To redefine

It has been transformed from clothing that protects the body into clothing that breathes air.

The boldly open side structure

Of course, it has the functionality of ventilation.

It gives a unique, relaxed silhouette when layered.

Tabs, buckles, and snap buttons

Leaving only the minimum details

"Strip away only what's necessary"

The paradoxical approach is brilliant.

This vest is the result of blending the aesthetics of ruggedness with the rationality of functionality.

In other words, this is

A technical update of classic textiles

A crossover of philosophical restructuring of military gear.

The knowledge, passion and love for materials of the makers come together

It was sublimated into a product.

This outfit isn't just a vest.

It is a "wearable archive" and a reference for the future.

Wear this vest

In-store

I created a 3-minute LOOKING .

A quiet resistance between "lightness" and "weight."

Reinterpretation of military

A style that resonates with the warmth of the street

What do you find most difficult about the look?

"Calculating everything while making it look like you're doing nothing."

I am always conscious of that balance.

The main character is, of course,

Based on the US Army M-69 fragment vest

A reconstructed outfit.

The pale sand beige body

Avoiding the heavy feeling that is common in military items

With a dark tone wide T-shirt worn underneath

Selected to create a perfect contrast.

Oversized silhouette too

Rather than being rugged, the focus is on space and ease.

What was combined with that

Levi's action slacks.

Moderate fading and line thickness

Harmonizes with the volume of the top

Don't be too rugged

Designed to be sophisticated and fit into urban life.

I can wear it without worrying about it.

Even when I want to do it properly

Matching bottoms.

On his feet are classic VANS checkered slip-ons.

I think this choice is the key point.

Military and Street

Classic and everyday

By crossing all boundaries

This coordinate is

"It's not forcing itself," but it has a core.

It embodies unity that contains contradictions.

and

Another key adds color

Added red cap.

The choice of this "red" is also a key point.

In achromatic tones of beige, navy, and gray

By applying a slight temperature

A quiet statement is made.

It's simple yet has depth.

Yes, I feel there is room to not talk too much.

It is the perfect everyday style.
