Good evening. This is Ikeda.
When I hear things like ``how many years since 〇〇'' or ``〇〇 anniversary'' on the news, I feel nostalgic and am often surprised at how quickly time passes.
It's frightening to think that with time passing so quickly, I'll be nostalgic for more and more things from now on.
However, when I look at such news, I not only feel nostalgic, but also feel refreshed.
It was popular a few years ago, but it's gone downhill, but when you look at it now, it's refreshing.
In recent years, I would say "Y2K".
In this case, I feel that the term ``cycle'' is more appropriate than ``changes'' in trends.
I don't think the meaning changes much.
Well, today we would like to introduce ULTERIOR's WOOL SILK TWEED S/C COAT, which has a feeling of nostalgia and freshness.
This is the last delivery of ULTERIOR's 22AW items.
The reason why I felt nostalgic is because the first outerwear I bought from a certain domestic bra was a shawl collar coat.
I think it was probably an exciting shopping experience for me at the time, after I first became aware of fashion.
At that time, the shawl collar coats were not so loose, and I remember that they had a slim silhouette compared to me now.
I don't have it with me now, so my memory is hazy.
Since then, I haven't bought many shawl collar items, so it felt refreshing to wear it at an exhibition.
I forgot about that feeling, and when it arrived and I tried it on, it felt fresh again.
My reminiscences have gotten too long, so let's get back to the main topic.
Contrary to what I had, this is a shawl collar coat with a loose silhouette.
This looseness is what makes it possible.
It's hard to convey the relaxed feel in the image, but the width is also well-defined.
It's not that it's difficult to convey, but rather that it seems rather narrow.
I'm sorry.
The shawl collar has a button at the neck, so if you fasten it there, it can also be used as a stand collar.
You can enjoy a variety of ways to wear just one item, such as wearing it with a shawl collar and closing it with a waist belt, or opening it and putting it in your pocket or letting it hang loosely, leaving the buttons unfastened, or buttoning the neck for a slightly more stoic look. I'll put it away.
The box pockets are quite large, so this is a nice point for those who don't want to carry a bag.
There is also a change pocket, which has been carefully placed so that you can put your hand in naturally when you put your arm down.
This change button may be familiar to those who are familiar with ULTERIOR.
For those who are new to it, it may be difficult to understand with just words, but this is really easy to put into practice.
It's a detail that you won't understand until you actually try it on, so if you're interested, please try it on.
I've already written about the fabric in ``Nawade'' where I introduced WOOL SILK TWEED EASY SLACKS that use the same material, so I'll keep it brief.
The fabric used is wool silk tweed.
Although it is a herringbone, it has a variable-speed pattern, which gives a good sense of imbalance.
Although I say it gives you that feeling, it is a very dark navy and it is hard to tell in the image, so if you are interested, please take a look at the ``live'' image with the color adjusted.
Unlike traditional tweed, it has a very soft, light, and fluffy texture.
Since it's a loose fit, there should be a lot of fabric, but it's irresistible because you can wear it without stress at all.
As mentioned above, the color is a deep navy, so it goes without saying that it is very versatile.
I would like you to put it on without worrying too much about matching it and go out around town with a sense of style.
Of course, if you rush out without thinking, things could go wrong, so please choose your items with some thought.
I don't think there are many people who feel nostalgic and fresh like I do, but it's nostalgic, fresh, cool, fashionable, the feel of the fabric is irresistible, you can wear it for a long time, you won't have any trouble matching it, and you can wear it in a variety of ways. If you think it looks like fun, please give it a try.
