Winter is approaching, and it's getting colder day by day. On days like these, how about a fireman's jacket from Salon de Shimaji's original apparel line?


Shimaji : "This jacket was inspired by the 'Forestière' (guardian of the forest) jacket from 'Arnys,' a famous menswear shop located on the Left Bank of Paris."
When I first became the editor-in-chief of Weekly Playboy, I saw the Forestier bag displayed in the Arnys shop window in Paris and, guided by my philosophy of "If you find something beautiful, buy it without hesitation!", I immediately purchased it. I never dreamed that Arnys, which taught me that "fashion is culture," would disappear...
This fantastic jacket must never be lost! I wanted to revive it, so I created an original fireman's jacket."

Shimaji : "The distinguishing feature is that the buttons have been replaced with fireman hooks, the kind used on French firefighters' uniforms. This makes it look even cooler. I also selected the fabric myself; it's a high-quality material that's warm and lightweight. Please give it a try. I'm sure you'll love it."


The vibrant colors, which stand out against the cold sky, are sure to lift your spirits. How about adding this jacket, imbued with Mr. Shimaji's strong feelings, to your new winter wardrobe?
