The 2024 frost has passed.
This is Sakemaru.
What is Shimofuri?
It's the time of frost.
At this time of year, the temperature drops sharply,
Moisture in the air freezes and forms frost on the surface of plants.
Wow, it's gotten really cold all of a sudden.
The osmanthus in my garden has finally bloomed. 
That said, it's only a little bit (sweat)
I was worried that it would be too hot this year and they wouldn't bloom...
The flowers bloomed about a week later than usual.
So, I can finally introduce my fall/winter shirts!
The shirts we will be introducing this time are:
This was made from an original print!
Printed 2-flap open collar shirt "Vincents Leo" ! 
It's the classic leopard print...
The name is "Vincents Leo",
Gene Vincent, a rockabilly star of the 1950s,
The inspiration for this is the leopard print jacket he wore as part of his stage costume! 
This photo,
I knew it from black and white photos too...
It was the first time I had seen a color photograph.
There are some places where it is.
The color is off-white on the ground... 
Available in two beige colors. 
And the material is corduroy. 
As you can see from this photo,
Thin ridges run vertically.
The material of the jacket worn by Gene Vincent was
It's an acrylic faux fur-like sticker material.
It was probably cutting edge at the time.
In addition to the jackets worn by these rockabilly stars,
Sports jackets and contrasting trousers,
It was also used for women's coats.
As Dry Bones,
I want to stick to natural materials ,
With that in mind...
Choose corduroy.
In addition to the open collar shirts mentioned above... 
We have also planned a gaucho shirt with this design .
Unknowingly,
The black and beige colors were almost sold out quickly.
The brown and off-white size is also out of stock (lol)
Too early reaction (sweating)
This is a textile design that represents the 1950s .
It seems that there are many fans who have been waiting for this.
For me personally...
I've made 3 or 4 leopard print designs over the past 35 years.
I can say with confidence that this leopard print is the best one yet .
The reason is...
In fact, this time,
Based on the original vintage leopard print of that time,
The pattern is reproduced almost exactly to the millimeter. 
This monochrome photograph is
Leopard print is used as a contrast to the gabardine jacket.
However, looking at the photo above, I can't really tell what the leopard print looks like.
So this time, I'm going to pull out my collection and take a closer look! 
A reversible sports jacket from that time.
The sticker on the lining
It's the same leopard print fabric that Gene Vincent wore.
I drew each and every leopard print pattern,
The beige background was recreated after repeated color corrections.
Furthermore, the off-white background... 
The color was inspired by this vintage vest.
This leopard print is
It is made from the same material as the leopard print gabardine jacket mentioned earlier.
Dry Bones is
Last September, we celebrated our 35th anniversary.
meanwhile,
Mainly in the 1950s,
From the 1920s to the 1960s,
We have been offering classic men's clothing.
And we will continue to make suggestions from now on.
And for me personally...
I'll be 59 next month.
I will be turning 60 next year.
I've been obsessed with the 1950s ever since I was old enough to understand.
I wonder how many leopard print outfits I've worn in the past... 
Me in my third year of junior high school (skinny!)
Around second year of high school (Her hair is so voluminous!)
Even at age 59,
I never thought I'd be making a leopard print with millimeter-level precision.
This series was created with such effort.
Be sure to add this to your collection.
You won't regret this quality.
And at the end of the book there is a section introducing my recent activities. 
Actually, I
This month I went to Tokamachi, Niigata Prefecture.
This is the purpose. 
See the national treasure, Flame Pottery, with your own eyes.
It was amazing!
The power that the object possesses is extraordinary.
I felt sick (sweat)
In my opinion...
probably,
I think it's one of the most powerful objects in Japan.
So cool down your body. 
Hegi soba is a Niigata specialty.
It was incredibly delicious!
See you later!
