It's already been about ten days since the beginning of spring in 2025.
Setsubun is set to be the day before the beginning of spring,
This year's Setsubun falls on 2/2.
Normally, it would gradually get warmer from the beginning of spring through Usui...
This year, the strongest cold wave in 10 years hits.
It's really cold every day...
Due to the declining birthrate in the local area,
The kindergarten I went to is going to be closed...
I went to see a photo exhibition.
When I was a kindergartener,
As the number of students increased, the kindergarten moved to a new, larger building.
Junior high school students will also be moved to new junior high schools.
However, now there are fewer students and many schools are merging or closing.
The times are constantly changing...
Meanwhile, a three-piece suit has arrived that follows a style from nearly 100 years ago .
So this time, I'd like to introduce it to you.
Three-piece set of thick corduroy,
First up is the jockey jacket .
And a jockey vest .
Plus high-back work trousers .
This is what it looks like when you wear all three together.
Brown and... 
black.
The fabric is thick corduroy, 8 wale.
When sewing corduroy fabric,
Basically, it's called "reverse grain"
Cut and sew upside down so that your hand can catch when you stroke it.
This gives the color a matte look that is beautiful .
The fabric itself also lasts longer .
This is what our staff looks like when wearing a three-piece suit. 
I hate fob chains!
First, let me explain about the jacket.
Notch lapel, four buttons.
The normal way to wear it is with two middle layers ...
It looks cool even with the top three pieces .
As long as you don't hang it at the very bottom, there's no problem.
Why not hang it at the bottom?
Originally, the bottom button of this jacket was
There was no button.
Just a decorative button.
This jacket is called the "Jockey" jacket.
From the side of the pocket flap,
The front line curves sharply and connects to the hem.
A front line that curves sharply like this is called a cutaway.
The dressy front design is normally used for morning wear.
It's a pretty classic detail .
Later, this design became popular among horse riders,
It was named "Jockey Jacket."
However, the word "jockey" has another meaning...
The original word for jockey is JOCKEY.
Nowadays, it means "someone who rides a horse," such as a jockey.
The origin of the name seems to be "JOCK," which is the Irish pronunciation of "JACK," a name common in English-speaking countries.
When approaching Irish people buying and selling horses,
Apparently, the name JOCKEY comes from the custom of calling out "HEY, JOCK!"
("HI, JACK" is the same origin as the word hijack.)
The person who controls the horse is called a JOCKEY...
Later, the term JOCKEY also came to mean "someone who controls something."
for example…
A person who gets the audience dancing with a disc (i.e., a record) is called a disc jockey.
In other words, becoming a DJ.
In America, the word "JOCKEY" has become a slang term for a womanizer, with the meaning of "riding on women and making them do things."
In other words, a jockey jacket
It also seems to mean "a jacket that womanizers like to wear."
This meaningful jacket has stylish cuffs as well.
In apparel lingo, we call this "hon-aki" (full opening) ...
Fashionable people who like suits sometimes call it "hon-geba."
This is a detail that is normally only used in custom-made suits .
It looks sexy when you wear it with just the outermost button undone.
I tried to bring out the "Jockey" feel in this part as well.
So, the vest is also jockey style. 
The large curves are very sexy.
The buckle on the back of the garment
So classic.
Chrome nickel outer frame with copper needle core.
An antique design that existed around the 1900s .
The trousers on the bottom are also classic. 
Matte black metal hooks at the front ,
It is firmly fastened with rivets.
The coin pocket with double welt,
Carefully made.
The inner lining covers the back of the belt,
Equipped with suspender buttons.
The pocket is on the right side only.
This is a design from around the 1920s .
The back straps that seem to reach both ends are also classic.
With a high-back design,
There is a V-shaped notch in the center back.
Daikanyama jockey Macky tried out the three-piece outfit.
Classic and casual
It is sure to be a hit in the modern horse scene, the motorcycle scene.
I apologize for the late delivery date,
This three-piece set,
It's not something you can always buy.
While the sizes are consistent.
Please hurry.
Cherry blossoms in my garden.
The buds are already turning a faint red.
Spring is just around the corner .
