Knitwear | Creates a sophisticated, grown-up look

Cruciani Crew Neck Knit: A popular knit that creates both a sophisticated, professional look for work and a relaxed, casual vibe for off-duty occasions.
Suzuki: "For men who want to wear a nice sweater, Cruciani is a popular choice. Among Cruciani's modern and sophisticated knit collection, this crewneck sweater is characterized by its ribbed collar. The modern balance based on a classic feel, combined with high-quality materials, makes it look stylish even when worn alone. A range of calm colors suitable for mature men are available, but this year, we recommend red and burgundy tones that give a warm feeling. With its clean silhouette, we encourage you to try a color you've never worn before. Enjoy the quality of Italy's top knitwear brand this winter."

John Smedley crew neck knit: I'd choose beige for myself, and for men this year, a warm burgundy shade would be perfect.
Suzuki says that men can never have too many of these, and that John Smedley's classic crew neck knit is a popular gift choice among female customers. Each one is handcrafted, resulting in a smooth, soft feel that fits snugly against the skin, making it incredibly comfortable and something you won't want to take off. For on-duty looks, wear it as an inner layer with a suit or set-up for a neat and mature look, while for off-duty looks great paired with a white long-sleeved T-shirt or a blue striped shirt, chinos, and loafers for a sophisticated, effortless style. It's a classic yet not overly casual piece, so it conveys an elegant atmosphere even when working remotely. The versatile classic colors of black and navy are a must-have for your wardrobe.

Necktie | Dress up with a trendy large pattern

Holiday & Brown Medallion Tie: Dress up with this year's trendy, large-patterned medallion ties.
Holiday & Brown ties are created by combining the traditions of Nakamura British design with the silk industry of Como, Italy, a renowned center for tie fabric production. Although it's a relatively new brand to Mitsukoshi Main Store, it's actually a long-established tie brand founded in 1926. Its large, distinctive prints and unique color schemes, characteristic of British style, are said to be a symbol of British men's brands in the 70s and 80s, and its classic yet innovative designs are once again attracting attention. Large-patterned ties are easy to balance for men with a larger build or those who prefer striped shirts, and are perfect for updating the often monotonous impression of a tie-up look. These handmade ties will make your dress style shine.

LUIGI BORRELLI Regimental Tie
For those special occasions when you want to tie the knot, choose a high-quality, thick regimental stripe.
When female customers choose a tie as a gift, I advise them to "include your own preferences," but I recommend LUIGI BORRELLI ties as a high-quality, superior choice. Both men and women often purchase them by name, and they are a classic and popular gift item. LUIGI BORRELLI 's regimental ties feature muted color combinations that suit Japanese men well, creating a sophisticated and mature impression. The pattern is classic, but the slightly thicker stripes, unique colors, and the way it bulges when tied are sure to make you stand out from the crowd.

Scarf | Adds a gentle touch to your winter look

Johnstons of Elgan cashmere knit scarf: A fresh, Japan-exclusive color that gently frames the face.
Johnstons of Elgin, founded in Elgin in northeastern Scotland , is a long-established brand that has been producing scarves and mufflers made from high-quality materials in its own factory for over 200 years. Tartan checks, in particular, are an icon of British style. This year, with the perspective of "making a difference with material and color, even for a basic item," how about the limited edition color, Charcoal Ground (pictured left, bottom)? It is a chic charcoal gray that gives a softer impression than the standard Black Stewart, and is perfect for a calm and sophisticated adult coordination. The medium size makes it easy to match with suits and sets, and it adds a nice volume around the neck. Choose a color that will soften the look of winter, which can often be cold and stiff.

Begg & Cau cashmere knit scarf
The soft feel of cashmere will captivate you from the moment you put it on!
On days when it suddenly gets cold, men often come to Murata's shop to buy scarves and ask, "How do I tie one?" I often recommend the "Milanese wrap," which adds volume and warmth to the neck. A scarf from Begg & Co., a long-established Scottish scarf maker, is perfect for the stylish Milanese wrap, which also looks great around the collar of a coat. Made of very soft cashmere, it remains supple no matter how many times you wrap it, and the beautiful check pattern changes the way the colors appear each time you wear it, making it unique. This year, instead of a basic solid-color scarf, a natural and calming latte-colored check pattern will create an impressive look around your neck.

Perfume | Suitable for business settings

Parle Moi de Parfum Tomboy Neroli Eau de Parfum: A fresh, soap-like scent that wafts gently as you pass by.
For men who prefer a gentle fragrance, Parle Moi de Parfum 's Tomboy Neroli Eau de Parfum is a great choice. The subtle yet elegant scent, a blend of neroli and amber, is refreshing and clean enough for unisex wear. It's a versatile fragrance suitable for business settings, and neroli is known as a "natural tranquilizer," making it perfect for a refreshing spritz. While citrus scents are a year-round staple for men's fragrances, and sweet scents are popular in winter, this neroli and amber fragrance gives a free-spirited and modern impression.

Clean Reserve Rain Eau de Parfum
A sophisticated fragrance that evolves from fresh to alluring.
Murata's fragrance, with its unique scent reminiscent of rain falling in the Amazon, begins with a fresh, vibrant aroma thanks to a blend of bergamot and cucumber. As time passes, the generously used patchouli transforms the fragrance into something richer and deeper, creating a subtle allure amidst the refreshing coolness. It's like the mystical mist that covers the rainforest, and this sophisticated scent will enhance your image even in business settings.

Loafers, wallets, and care sets | Sophisticated leather items for adults

CARMINA Loafers: Your first pair of adult loafers, made with smooth black leather that fits Japanese feet well.
We recommend CARMINA 's high-quality loafers as a gift, crafted using the shoemaking techniques of Mallorca , Spain, and the traditional Goodyear welt construction. They are made using a last designed to fit Japanese feet, with a small heel and low instep for a comfortable fit, and the rubber sole provides peace of mind even on rainy days. While they are coin loafers, the semi-square shape, long nose, and slightly slender fit make them a perfect match for elegant dress styles. The stitching adds a modern touch. For an adult's first pair of loafers, we recommend black. They can be worn with jacket and trousers for business occasions, or with chinos or jeans on casual days, expanding your styling options.


ETTINGER wallet: When you open the wallet, a vibrant and youthful turquoise blue appears.
At first glance, it looks like an ordinary black wallet, but when you open it, the inside reveals a vibrant turquoise blue, reminiscent of the color of British pound banknotes—this is ETTINGER "Sterling Collection" bifold wallet. It's more compact than a long wallet, so it fits well in a jacket's inner pocket or bag, making it a classic bestseller. It has a convenient design with two bill compartments and card pockets and free pockets on both sides, and is made of fine-grained calfskin. The soft and pleasant-to-the-touch leather will grow on you the more you use it. If you choose a color that you like, you're sure to enjoy opening your wallet every time.


M. MOWBRAY Professional Care Set
Well-maintained and clean footwear directly contributes to a positive impression.
How about giving M.MOWBRAY shoe care set, presented in a stylish aluminum attaché case-style box, as a gift? It includes all the necessary items for caring for leather shoes, such as the long-selling Delicate Cream Mini, used by professionals, and the Delicate Cream Black Mini, which blends in just the right amount of color, making it perfect for beginners. Instructions for using the set are included, so even beginners can try it with confidence. In addition, it also includes a mini waterproof spray, making it a convenient set to carry when traveling. This professional care set is perfect for giving with the wish that the recipient will always have beautiful shoes.

Loungewear & Socks | Luxurious Winter Relaxation

Look Sea loungewear: Relax in comfortable clothing and with a warm drink.
Asada , everyone, what do you wear at home? For those of you who realize you've been wearing the same things for years, I highly recommend Look Sea 's relaxing wear. While the design is very basic, it's made from silk. It offers excellent heat retention and maintains comfortable humidity levels. You can experience the smooth, melting texture and gentle feel of silk against your skin. Enjoy a luxurious winter relaxation time in the warmth of your home with a warm drink and Look Sea 's relaxing wear.


CHUP Casual Socks
Casual socks that add a fun, rhythmic touch to adult feet.
Even on Asada 's days off, when she's going for a casual style, does she tend to choose plain socks? On days when you're feeling carefree, why not start by letting a colorful pattern peek out from under your pants to add a fashion accent? CHUP socks are made in Japan, carefully knitted on rare knitting machines, and their distinctive patterns are inspired by indigenous peoples around the world. They may look like they'd be difficult to match with due to their complex designs, but the variety of colors in the patterns makes them surprisingly easy to coordinate. They're thick and warm, so enjoy coordinating them with sneakers or boots. Just changing your usual socks can completely transform your look.

ide homme business socks
This winter, I'll wear a gray suit with burgundy long socks.
ide homme 's long socks are overwhelmingly popular among those who are particular about their suit style and those who don't want to show leg hair when crossing their legs. They use "GIZA45," the finest Egyptian extra-long staple cotton, which boasts the highest quality among all cotton varieties existing in the world, so the elegant sheen and soft feel are truly special. They are beautiful and supple, but since the material is cotton, they are also durable. Black and navy are classic choices, but for a trendy look this year, we recommend burgundy or brown. How about making them a reliable companion not only for "important work days" but also for "special days when you want to look sharp in a suit"?
