I'm off on a business trip!

This is Shibata , buyer for Authentic Wear . Finally... finally, it's my turn for a business trip! This time, I'll be flying from LA to NY! I'll report on the details of the trip as soon as I return, so please look forward to it!



This time, I'm wearing my Bean Boots in preparation for the snow. The tassels on the shoelaces are by TAKAFUMI ARAI . I love them!

The items are available at a pop-up shop being held on the floor above, Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 8th floor = Isetan Men's Residence, until Tuesday, February 19th. The designer will also be visiting on some days during the event, so please stop by!


So, this time I'll be stopping by "Inspiration," the annual vintage exhibition in LA, to soothe myself in the lovely weather, before heading to freezing cold New York for various meetings. It's what you might call the "heaven to hell route" (lol).


Shin Matsushima, designer of cantate
▶【Interview】 Shin Matsushima cantate | Challenging the creation of the ultimate clothing, with meticulous attention to materials and craftsmanship.

Also, this week was the peak of the latter half of the Tokyo trade shows, and I visited various brands' exhibitions. From among them, I'd like to introduce Shin Matsushima of cantate , a young designer who has caught my attention.


"Denim tapered trousers" are a popular item in our store.

Their attention to detail is absolutely incredible!

 As the saying goes , "God is in the details," and this is an exceptional item that always exudes a refined presence without losing sight of the original purpose of denim. We are currently featuring this item in our store! Please take your time to look at it, try it on, and experience its quality for yourself.


Encounters this week
[Linen blend socks]


Before we start talking about spring's arrival in the bottoms, we've received some must-see footwear items.

These are linen-blend socks from Kenneth Field .

These are incredibly comfortable socks made by a famous domestic factory. While insocks and similar products have become popular these days, I believe that when wearing shoes, it's more aesthetically pleasing if your ankles aren't visible. (Sandals are an exception! lol) We only have 12 pairs of each, so it's first come, first served!!

You should definitely give it a try!
