Just started trying this season’s new POST Logger Jacket in Navy back sateen recently…yet temperature dropped significantly last night…so I started trying that jacket in Olive Melton as well (at home) last night….and trying this morning again since outside looks chilly…Melton version would be in need soon…?

As I started trying, I started remembering how this wear….

Last time I tried was the time I was checking its pre-production sample….

It is so heavy-duty…upper half of the body and entire sleeves are doubled…no wonder it was originally made for those tough American Northwestern loggers….

Yet it wears so airy and snappy….

Simpler 2 pocket configuration helps of course…

but I believe its secret lies behind its pattern and weight distribution….

I really admire the guy who originally made its pattern…..100 years ago.

I believe “how it wear” is really depends on garment’s weight distribution…..this jacket has real unforgettably impressive airy wearing feel to it.

Well, it’s get warmer now…. (Takeshi)

….in Navy Back Sateen from 2017FW.

Most recent acquisition…

…is similar to this jacket below.

But new one looks older…

Interesting! (Takeshi)

P.S.

Katsu was at MoMA PS1 Saturday afternoon for signing his new book “ONCE IN HARLEM”

Right now, we are in in-between season…that means we sometimes go weird…say cotton flannel shirt + shorts+ sandals….

In that mood, I feel some E-Z CRUZ shirt would do the job nicely…

These are E-Z CRUZ 5…I remember I thought its design was really “standard” when I designed it.

I like these open collar (they call it camp-collar today for whatever reason) shirt a lot since teenager, I used to wear some 1950s Japanese vintage white linen open-collar shirt with these black high school uniform trousers….

They look like these gab shirt….but in short sleeve.

I still like open-collar shirt….until today….maybe tomorrow…..

I feel really sorry that we could not release this fabric this season due to a problem….maybe we should try next year again.(Takeshi)

As coming back from Japan, I was thrown into a whole new season…then I realized that I had to start to prove…

this new Super DV works well underneath “coverall” type jackets as well as by itself as an outerwear….

Like this?

And C-POST DV supposed to work well underneath CRUZER type jackets….and by itself…

Well done?

Unlined E-Z Rider in wool melton….has to offer some good feeling in between tailored jackets and “coverall” type jackets…

On the way, I found out linen shirt would work as flannel shirt just this time of the year…especially with shorts!

This DEE’s Vest from ’15 S/S is becoming all-star player these days especially with knit shorts and sweat pants.
