Tomorrow, the 21st of June 2025, is the summer solstice.
This is Sakemaru.
Half of the year has already passed (lol)
The summer solstice is
The longest day of the year.
And from this day onwards, it is said that "summer arrives."
It's officially summer!
Just before the start of summer,
I went to a local burger place for the first time in a while.
A classic bonnet bus sits in front of the store.
It's called "Fushihime Beef Hamburger"!
I ordered a bacon and egg burger that day.
The patties here are so meaty and delicious!
It's so delicious that you'll feel like you're eating a chunk of meat!
I took it home and ate it.
Since it's a homemade burger,
We decided to eat while watching a suitable movie...
I watched "The Founder" which I had recorded.
The film is set in 1954.
The hamburger shop run by the McDonald brothers,
A story about a Shake Machine salesman who takes over management and turns it into a huge industry.
I found it very interesting.
First of all, the architecture, cars, and costumes are amazing!
It's just like "1954"!
This movie,
Many fans of Dry Bones have probably seen this.
If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check it out.
The reason is,
I will write about it at the end of this blog.
In this movie,
One person caught my attention.
The guy second from the left is wearing a gabardine jacket and a hat.
Argyle print on a charcoal grey background.
At that time, the argyle pattern was a huge hit,
Various versions were made.
There are many patterns of all-over patterns,
Many types of border argyle were also produced.
The pattern he's wearing in this one is...
Argyle dotted version,
This version is commonly known as "dotting argyle."
Moreover, the pattern for the gabardine jacket is a larger version.
In the scene a few minutes later,
It has emerged more clearly.
This time he appeared as a young man who was going to work at an early McDonald's.
The exact same jacket
Dotting argyle gabardine jacket version,
Charcoal grey background color.
And like other argyle patterns, this pattern is
There is a version printed for shirts.
My collection, this is it.
It looks a bit whitish in the photo...
Bright lemon yellow.
The shirt version is
The argyle itself is a little small,
The pattern is further simplified.
The 2025 Dry Bones original rayon print is
I made exactly this pattern!
First up is the long sleeve version.
Long sleeve printed open shirt "Dotting Argyle" .
The color is charcoal gray,
Brown ground.
And more!
There's also a short-sleeved version perfect for summer!
Cupra is used on the back of the yoke.
And it has a touch of thoughtfulness that you don't find in vintage items.
Such a perfect pattern match!
All season long sleeves,
There are also short sleeves available, perfect for the summer!
Moreover, 36 small, 38 medium,
Available in 4 sizes: 40large, 42X-large!
Thank you for your visit.
We look forward to seeing you!
I wrote at the beginning of the blog,
"Why you should see this movie"
I'll start writing from here (spoiler alert).
With original ideas,
The McDonald brothers were in business in San Bernardino.
Ray fell in love with the idea.
The plan is to franchise this system across the United States.
Although it didn't go so well at first...
It starts with a small opportunity and then expands rapidly.
It was when he set his sights on a certain organization.
This is the scene.
Ray gives a speech at a gathering of a certain organization.
Zionist groups are currently in the spotlight.
Afterwards, he gave a speech at the group.
Shriners are famous for their fez hats.
An entertainment group within the secret society of Freemasons.
He also gave lectures at this organization.
America's largest secret society at the time
Independent of Odd Fellows! (IOOF)
All of these groups are hardworking and business-minded.
The main drivers of McDonald's expansion in the early days were:
It was Jewish and a secret society.
And then,
A founder who continues to expand his business despite many ups and downs.
Founding is not about being a "builder"
It means "the FOUNDER."
A truly American way of thinking.
I learned a lot.
See you later.
