As December begins, the cold weather is intensifying. Last time, we mentioned that Shimaji-san was bundled up in a down jacket, so this time, we'll introduce Shimaji-san's prized down jacket.


Shimaji : "This is my essential item for complete winter protection. I've been using this MONCLER leather down jacket for over 20 years."


I was drawn to its beautiful wine-red color and bought it in France. It just goes to show my personality; I've always had a weakness for beautiful things.

You've worn it for over 20 years, and it's in such beautiful condition.


Shimaji : "I've had it repaired a few times, but I cherish it and use it for a lifetime. I've indulged in romantic extravagance and developed an eye for finding things that will last a lifetime. You should also indulge in romantic extravagance and develop an eye for quality. You're sure to find something that will last a lifetime."

Katsuhiko Shimaji is the producer of the Isetan Men's Residence Salon de Shimaji, located on the 8th floor Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building . Born in 1941, he graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University and joined Shueisha. He was assigned to "Weekly Playboy" and became its editor-in-chief in 1983, where he created a sensation with the "Life Advice" column featuring Renzo Shibata, Toko Kon, and Ken Kaiko as respondents, growing the magazine into a million-copy publication. He later served as editor-in-chief of "PLAYBOY Japan" and "BART." After serving as the representative director of Shueisha International, he retired in 2008. He is currently a writer and essayist.
