This is Sakemaru on Friday, after the Grain Rain of 2023.
And more!
Starting tomorrow, the long-awaited Golden Week begins!
I think there are many people who haven't been able to go out in the last three years due to the coronavirus pandemic...
This year the weather is clear and you can go out with confidence!
Speaking of which...
I got a special tool that a friend told me about,
I groomed My Charlie!
Did you all know?
The fact that such a tool exists.
It's a tool for cleaning bicycle chains!
Add the detergent into the container
When you turn the chain,
The gears inside move and hit the brushes to clean.
Do this for the whole chain, then
After greasing...
Ride comfort will improve by 20%!
I recommend it!
Well, we have just arrived just in time for Golden Week.
Let me introduce you to my most recommended cut and sew items for this season.
First off, we've uploaded three color options.
We call it the "Chambray Grandpa Shirt" !
I think some people might find the name "Grandpa Shirt" strange...
Let me start by explaining that.
The shirt itself is
From the end of the 19th century (i.e. the late 1800s),
This shirt was made until the 1920s.
It was mainly worn in the UK and on the East Coast of the US.
In the 1950s, young people would call these shirts that they had at home,
We called it "Grandpa's shirt" (Grandpa's shirt).
It had disappeared from the public eye by the 1950s.
There's a reason behind this shirt's creation.
The main reason why it was mainly worn in England was
This is because it was a country where there were clear rules for how men's clothing should be worn.
In Britain at that time (and to some extent still today),
You must wear a shirt underneath your jacket.
However,
Poor working class people couldn't afford many shirts.
that's why,
Cut-and-sewn underwear (so-called Henley shirts)
"I put on a shirt-like piece of fabric on my chest,"
He covered it up by wearing a jacket over it.
In the famous 1997 movie "Titanic,"
The protagonist of the story is a poor British working-class painter.
(The film is set in 1912.)
And those people…
In the new country of America, which grew rapidly with the Industrial Revolution,
The number of immigrants has also increased.
(Especially Italian, Irish, and Eastern European).
that's why,
This shirt was also widely worn on the East Coast of the United States.
In the United States, people who were left out of the secondary industry (manufacturing) and could no longer find work were
They moved to the Midwest and South to work as tenant farmers in the primary industry (agriculture).
So I put on my grandpa shirt and overalls,
Then wear a coverall or wool jacket over it.
This is the kind of thing that happened.
First, let me introduce each color.
Navy x blue chambray.
When worn under indigo-dyed overalls,
The shoulder strap rests against the shoulder line.
If you want a dark color scheme that you can wear without worrying about color transfer,
This is the only choice!
Next up,
Ash gray x blue chambray.
This is the most "American casual" color scheme.
Perfect with jeans or chinos.
Also, since it's ash grey, dirt doesn't show up very much.
Wear it a lot and get it dirty,
A type that can be washed thoroughly.
Finally, the color scheme that is most reminiscent of the time.
Off-white x blue chambray.
The color scheme is reminiscent of the movie Titanic.
The body color is off-white...
The thread is 14 single thread, which is very thick and sturdy,
It has a rough jersey feel.
It is not see-through at all.
The ribs are made using a special knitting technique called step knitting.
It's like there's a thin line.
It has a classic knitted pattern.
Behind the shoulder line,
A piece of jersey fabric with the grain reversed is pasted on in the form of a tape.
So after washing,
The shoulders shouldn't get dislocated even if you hang it up.
Although it is a spring item,
A cut-and-sew item suitable for all seasons.
The reason why we are making cut-and-sew items like this seriously is because
Probably Dry Bones in the whole world .
Departure over 100 years ago,
We can provide it.
Now.
On the coming 4th of May...
The neighborhood where I live repaired the float curtain,
There will be a unveiling ceremony.
The downtown area of Tateyama,
Shinmeicho in the Hojo district.
I don't think these two cars are often side by side,
If you have time, please come visit Tateyama.
We'll be expecting you!
