2022年秋分の酒丸。

Sakemaru for the autumn equinox of 2022.


It coincided with the autumnal equinox, one of the 24 solar terms.
This is Sakemaru.

It's gotten a lot cooler this week!

This week is also the equinox,
I am also thinking of going to clean my father's grave.

And in the local area, "Yawatanmachi" was held last weekend.
It was forecast to rain until the day before, so I had almost given up...
The morning of the day was unexpectedly sunny!

The local Shinmeicho float sets off for the first time in four years.

I had a three-year hiatus due to typhoons and the COVID-19 pandemic,
I was actually quite worried about my physical strength...
I managed to get through the two days safely.
Then suddenly it's autumn.
In my hometown,
It has been said since ancient times that "after the town (festival) is over, you should wear a leather jacket for nightlife."
It was a seasonal indicator.
As usual, autumn has arrived this year.

So today's blog is,

Introducing Dry Bones' recommended three-piece suit for fall .


Already in the lineup at all stores,
A three-piece suit made from cotton moleskin.
There is a jacket , a vest and trousers .
This is brown.

Actually, it's more like brown...
Between the dark brown herringbone,
Print with orange stitching.

This fabric is made of a glossy "MOLE-SKIN" satin weave.
It features herringbone and stitching patterns printed with pigment.

Here's a little bit of trivia.
Cotton, rayon, wool,
Woven fabrics are mainly divided into three categories.
The first is "plain weave."
This is broadcloth and sheeting,
This includes Oxford.
Basically it is a thin, light and gentle material.
The second is twill weave.
The fabric has a 45 degree angle.
Examples include denim, twill, and chino cloth.
It's thick, sturdy and heavy.
And the third and last one is "Suzushiori".
This fabric has a 30 degree angle.
Or something that appears at a 60-degree angle.
The most famous weave is satin.
Lee's Westerner,
That's the shiny material of the Sukajan.
And the material made from this brushed satin is called velveteen.
It's commonly known as velvet.
The characteristics of the fabric are: high density and glossy,
If the thread is thick, it will be very sturdy and heavy.
That's why it's often used in workwear.

And the moleskin used in this three-piece suit is
It is the third type of twill weave.
It's thick, sturdy and shiny.
So we applied pigment printing to eliminate the glossiness,
It is printed with a classic textile pattern.

MACKY from our Tokyo store wore this.
Brown moleskin 3 piece.

So classic.

And different shades of black.

As with the previous colors,
Grey herringbone on black fabric.
In between is a blue striped print.


At first glance it may look neat, but
The material is cotton, so it has a real work feel.

I happened to see a movie the other day,
There was a main character who was wearing a similar fabric.
(Sorry I couldn't take a good photo: lol)

The movie's Japanese title is "PLAN A."
Although it is a recent movie from 2021,
The story is set in 1945.
And... a German-Israeli co-production.
Germany and the Jews after the Holocaust
It's a movie based on historical fact.
The content is pretty hard and it's a movie that makes you think in many ways...
What is outstanding is the cityscape and costumes that are set in the period in which the film is set.
It's so real. Amazing.
The costumes in particular make this a must-see movie for anyone who likes European vintage.
Vintage pieces of famous designs are coming out one after another.
By the way, the main character is...
A finely striped jacket and a woolen newsboy cap,
And a wool work vest.
The shirt is a beige striped work shirt.
The head of the secret organization they work with is
A thick striped notch lapel jacket,
Wide wale corduroy vest.
There are a lot of military items,
It's a difficult setting, with Jewish troops in the British army.
After World War II in Germany,
I was surprised to find out that something like this happened in secret!
If you're interested, please do.

So,
We introduced three-piece suits inspired by the 1920s to 1940s.
Although it is a set of three,
It's better to wear the jacket, vest, and trousers separately and match them with other items.
It has more depth,
What's more, it's a great bargain.
The above movies are a must-watch if you want to learn how to dress well.


And the story of the festival continues.

Already in my late 50s,
By the second night, my whole body was screaming in pain.
But you can see a scene like this.

A total of five floats and boats from the five local towns are gathered in the square in front of the station.
Spectacular! And so beautiful.
Furthermore, it has been four years since the last time.
I couldn't help but find myself in tears.

Afterwards, the floats and their pullers disperse and return to their respective neighborhoods.
Our Kamimeicho has been getting more and more excited since returning to our hometown!
From the town elders to the adult members,
People took turns beating the drums on the floats as the night drew on.

A junior who is about 10 years younger than me.
I guess he went into a trance state when he was beating the drums...

The beans in my hands got crushed, making me look like Matsuda Yusaku from Taiyo ni Hoero!
It must have been painful the next day (sweat)
