2022年小満の酒丸。

Sakemaru from Shoman in 2022.

We have passed the end of the first month of the year on May 21st.
The period around 15 days after the beginning of summer is called Shoman.
It's a time of good weather and everything grows.
There are lots of white flowers blooming in my garden.
I thought, "There are a lot of white flowers around this time of year," so I looked it up...
It seems that in the past, all white flowers were generally called "Unohana."
That's why April came to be called "Uzuki."
Of course, it's May now...
That is only in the new calendar.
According to the old calendar, it is still April, which means it's the first month of the month.

So I thought I'd make today's blog topic "white."
In general, people start wearing summer clothes around May, around the beginning of summer.
However, it is still cool in the mornings and evenings...
Rather than just wearing short sleeves and shorts, I want to create a summery feel with color .
In other words, I want to wear a lot of "white clothes" during this time of year.
First up, the off-white chambray open collar shirt.

Nep chambray looks really cool.

Classic resort wear with long point collar.
Next up, the second item is the natural color Italian collar shirt.

A popular design these days, with mountain-shaped pockets on both sides of the chest.

The fabric is an expressive cotton material with dobby, or knotting, yarn running vertically.
Really classic and cool.
Next up, our third pick, is a pocket T-shirt made from thick, needle-punched terry cloth.

It has a chest pocket with the same ribbing as the collar and cuffs.
This is our first cut and sew lineup in quite a while, and it is extremely popular.
Please come early.
And the fourth batter is cotton knit, which has been very popular recently.

Summer knit lozenge (diamond pattern).
The classic diamond pattern from the 1950s has been transplanted from a shirt.
Combined with the black ribs, it creates a pop and refined look.
Although it is white, the color scheme is very typical of the fifties.
The bottoms are high-back trousers made of cotton canvas.

The high-back style with suspender buttons will have you feeling like you're in the Prohibition era.
It features a large back strap.
It's made of very sturdy cotton canvas, and even if it gets dirty it still retains its character.
The other bottom is a pair of linen two-pleat trousers.

The integrated body belt, known as the Hollywood belt, is a design unique to the 1940s and 1950s.
Furthermore, there is a pocket on the front, commonly known as an "instant pocket."
In fact, this is a very difficult item to sew.
probably,
Dry Bones is the only place in the world that still makes this type of product (I'm proud of that).
What's more, although it's hard to see in the photo, the side seams have hand stitching in the same color.
And of course, it also has built-in suspender buttons.
These trousers require a tremendous amount of work to make.
Now, put something white on your head too.

White cotton canvas newsboy cap with Wabash stripes.
A white hat during this time of year has the dual effect of reflecting direct sunlight while protecting the scalp.
It is important to prevent heat stroke.
And the last person to take the reins is...

New this year: the blade hat.
Moreover, it is called step ribbon.
A classic design made by folding shirt fabric in stages.
Now, the number of craftsmen who can make this step ribbon has drastically decreased in Japan.
I am relieved that we have finally made it in time for the delivery date.
I don't think you'll ever come across a summer hat as stylish as this one!
White suit, black shirt, and a hat like this, it makes me feel like I'm in a cigar bar in Malibu.
In addition to the items introduced here, there is a wide selection of white items and white-ish clothing.
Find it at our directly managed stores, online shop, or through our business partners.

However.
The other day, I stopped by an ancient temple and discovered these flowers.

Bright red amaryllis.
And it's a stray.
They grew in clusters in vacant lots.
When it's this red, it's really mysterious and sexy.

Similarly, we also have shirts like this one that are red, mysterious and sexy.
Small pattern two flap open collar shirt.
see you.
