The special order keyword for "AniShop 6" is "All-Glow".

The highlight of the 6th annual AniShop event is a black moleskin lapel jacket and black M-52 pants, both specially made for ANK by Le Sans Pareil, a long-established French factory brand founded in 1894.


Aniki says of the custom-made items, "Basically I like French workwear style, but when I look at young people today, I see them skillfully wearing styles reminiscent of the heyday of DC brands from the late 80s to the early 90s, or the 'black' of Comme des Garçons and Yohji Yamamoto from that era, which I find refreshing. For this custom-made item, I was in the mood for 'all black,' not that kind of high fashion. All white would also be fine, but I wanted to try an outfit that didn't mix colors."

Get even more fun with ANK's exclusive collaboration: "All-Glow" for your autumn/winter wardrobe.

The Le Saint Pareil ANK exclusive black moleskin lapel jacket features carefully selected details and stitching, based on the moleskin 3-button lapel jacket favored by Aniki and the specifications of Le Saint Pareil's lapel jackets. It uses thick moleskin with an elegant sheen.


It features a vintage-style low gorge line and slightly wider arm martingale (attached waist belt), creating a distinctive three-dimensional silhouette that widens towards the hem. Aniki recommends it, saying, "It's a 90s-style jacket, and I'm in the mood to wear an oversized one in a relaxed fit."


The Le Saint Pareil ANK exclusive M-52 black pants were released in May of this year, and are available in white and beige black colors. The fabric is made from coarsely woven threads, based on a detailed analysis of the French military's M-52.

Based on three M-52 jackets owned by Aniki, this jacket features carefully selected details and stitching, with a slim waist belt and belt loop design reminiscent of the "early model," a silhouette similar to the "later type," and even a rare gusset in the crotch area, even among the later models.

"The jacket is moleskin and the pants are chinos, so the materials are different, but since they're both black, you can wear them like a set," says Aniki.

Sorry for the wait! The souvenir T-shirt is finally here!

Aniki said, "It would be sad if you came all the way to the AniShop and there was nothing for you to buy," so the first-ever souvenir T-shirts in AniShop history are now available. "You can never have too many T-shirts, and they make great souvenirs. I always buy artist T-shirts at concerts when I go to them, so please feel free to buy one in the same way!"

Kinloch Anderson is perfect for your autumn/winter wardrobe!

"Ani Shop 6" also features a full lineup of items from Kinloch Anderson's Fall/Winter 2022 collection, where Aniki serves as brand director.

Aniki's top recommendation is the PCS thermal jacket, and he says, "I like the British military's PCS jacket, but the vintage ones are quite thin, so I made one with padding for autumn and winter. It's a masterpiece that I remade about three times. You can also wear it over a jacket, so try layering it."


This season's recommended coat is: "The coat we released last fall/winter was reversible, but this time it's not reversible and is significantly lighter. The lining is our original ANKENZIE check pattern, inspired by Mackenzie."


The Harrington jacket, which Aniki says he wants people to wear "in the style of Ken Takakura," is available in two colors: beige and navy.

The shirt lineup includes button-down and band-collar styles that are easy to coordinate. "I especially recommend the band-collar shirts, which come in brushstroke, broadcloth, and our finest chambray. Pairing a band-collar shirt with a tailored jacket creates a relaxed look in the V-zone, and you'll definitely fall in love with band-collar shirts," says Aniki. The chambray gets even crisper after washing, which is irresistible.


For autumn and winter trousers, we have three patterns of Scottish military ceremonial trousers and plain wool trousers. Aniki recommends, "For regimental trousers, choose your favorite from ANKENZIE's Black Watch, Glen Check, and Ani Check patterns. You can't go wrong with plain wool trousers that are easy to mix and match."



The scarf that Aniki had been longing to make has finally arrived. "We made two sizes, 30cm and 60cm wide, but my recommendation is the larger 60cm width. When folded in half and wrapped loosely, it has just the right amount of volume. The material is a cashmere blend, but we've kept the price affordable so that it can be used without hesitation."

Sold out last time! The 2nd AniMarket is confirmed!

Following the great success of the previous "AniShop 5," we're holding "AniMarket," where Aniki will be selling his personal belongings, again this time! Just like last time, it will be held in limited quantities when he appears as "one-hour shop manager" on Saturday, October 8th from 3 PM.

"Last time, our French-made polo shirts were a huge hit, and everyone lined up to buy them all. This time, we'll be releasing items mainly consisting of wool turtlenecks from a long-established British knitwear manufacturer and trousers worn by American cowboys," said Aniki.

"Right now I'm in the mood for a more relaxed style, and I want people to wear clothes that I used to wear in a tighter fit, with a sense of 'reusing' them. If you're someone with a body type that fits my size, around 177cm tall, please come to AniMarket."
