DAN TOMIMATSU is currently being held.
The event is open until the 9th (Sunday), and the long-awaited toogood has finally arrived.
This time, there are quite a few variations, so if I were to write product descriptions it would become a long blog that no one would ever read again, so I'll just introduce them all.
June 2022.
Paris.
The Seine River is crowded with tourists from all over the world.
Around this time, Japan was not only required to wear masks, but also had strict restrictions on overseas travel and immigration.
Until then, our store had mainly sold Japanese brands, but eventually we would also sell overseas brands. Four or five years ago, I was thinking that.
It's about time. Corona at the timing I thought.
So it ended up being about three years later than I had expected, but in June of last year, it was good to just have brands that could be seen in Japan, but beyond that, . The Paris Exhibition came at a time when not many Japanese people had appeared yet.
Well, it was a difficult time.
I can't speak English, and the only time I've been abroad was Korea on a school trip I went to when I was a high school student.
I don't even know how to get a flight, but I tried everything myself. lol
In preparation for this, I got vaccinated three times just before I was due to travel.
It's good for going from Japan to France.
However, it is difficult to return to Japan. Negative proof required on-site.
I had to find a hospital in Paris that would conduct a PCR test approved by Japan, so I found one myself and had a blonde female doctor with red nails and a plunging neckline do the PCR test for me. I remember that.
Well, I don't care about that.
Nowadays, the hurdles for entering Japan have lowered significantly, so there seem to be a lot of inbound tourists, but in June 2022, Japan felt like it was in a state of isolation.
Well, at our store in Okayama Prefecture, we don't feel any inbound flow. Because only Japanese people come here.
And the Eiffel Tower.
The Eiffel Tower is brown.
For some reason, I thought it was silver.
During that business trip, I contacted various brands myself and saw many brands that I had never been able to see in Japan before.
Anyway, I spent some time walking around and looking around.
So, I think I saw 200 to 300 brands, including the brands that I saw for just a second in their entirety on the hanger racks.
Well, I didn't feel anything shiny in most of them.
But I think everyone will be able to see this in the future, so please look forward to it.
And toogood showroom.
At the entrance, there are toogood collection visuals and toogood furniture.
The theme of toogood Collection 018 is "coast".
The borderline where land and sea meet, where work and leisure meet.
The sea is a place where fishermen work while tourists and vacationers enjoy their leisure time.
This season's collection is based on what I feel in this place.
The photo is of the keyword "buoy".
In English, it is "Buoy".
It is said to be a symbol of labor at sea.
Well, this collection has the most variety so far, so I'll give you a quick introduction.

THE DRAUGHTSMAN SHIRT
color _ OVERPRINT BUOY ORANGE
size_L
DRAUGHTSMAN SHIRT, which expresses the “buoy” mentioned earlier.
Special rubber overprint on cotton silk organdy fabric.
A shirt constructed with 3D cutting is placed on a flat surface and printed from above.
The sample was exactly like this, so it must have been perfectly done.
And LIMITED 10pcs.
The item in our store is numbered ``1'' and was delivered to us.

THE TRAWLERMAN BAG
color _ WAXED COTTON BUOY ORANGE
size_ONE SIZE
Like the previous shirt, the bag has a ``buoy'' coloring.
As the name suggests, the outer material is waxed cotton.
A 360 degree pocket with quite a large capacity.
The inside is lined, so I think it has quite a bit of storage space.
too good
THE DRAUGHTSMAN SHIRT
color _ HAND PAINTED STRIPE BRETON
size_M,L
This is also DRAUGHTSMAN SHIRT.
This is also a LIMITED EDITION, and a silk tag is attached to the neck.
A hand-painted shirt that depicts the color of the ocean, which deepens as you descend to the ocean floor.
The 100% cotton fabric has a light touch and is comfortable to wear.
too good
THE LANDSCAPER SHORT
color _ HAND PAINTED STRIPE BRETON
size_4,5
As before, this is also a LIMITED EDITION.
I think the production number was 21pcs.
These pants were also delivered with numbering 1 and 2.
Maybe they make them in alphabetical order? That's what I think.
CASANOVA is "C", so it's likely to be a number like 1.
However, there is arts&science in “A”. I don't know though.
Iconic shorts with volume below the knee.
The fabric is a little thicker than the shirt type.
I think the thickness of the fabric gives a sense of security.
And, after all, I draw an outline at a fairly high level.
It's not the dimension of short pants.

THE DIVER SHORT
color _ STRIPED ORGANDY SEA GREEN
size_M,L
Here are the shorts too.
The outer material is made of 100% highly twisted cotton organdy that is transparent.
It has a lining to prevent it from being see-through.
The fabric is a very distinctive striped fabric.
It looks quite uneven due to the dyeing.
Well, I think it feels like an extension of boxer trunks and is quite light to wear.
This is also quite well made. I think I'll choose someone who can wear them. lol
It has a very unusual shape with tucks on the sides.
too good
THE PHOTOGRAPHER JACKET
color _ STRIPED ORGANDY SEA GREEN
size_5
This is the same fabric.
“Transparent photographer jacket”.
It may be difficult, but it's an outerwear type, so it's a bit cool.
I think it's really cool.
Since it is produced in London, there is a tab on the back of the neck.
The front buttons are white buffalo buttons, but there are also some buttons that are quite transparent.
It's quite lightweight.
I am confident that there is no jacket that is more comfortable to wear than this one. lol
too good
THE PHOTOGRAPHER JACKET
color _ DOUBLE COTTON FLINT
size_4,5,6
This is also THE PHOTOGRAPHER JACKET.
Unlike the previous one, it's a much more stable black color.
The fabric is a thin double weave.
It's made of 100% cotton and has a strong expression, probably because it's a double weave with strong twist yarns.
I think there are a lot of shadows.
Also made in London.
With tab on the back of the neck.
It is a single specification.
Well, I can still barely wear it. That's what I think. Or rather, I want to believe it.
No, please wear it.

THE JACKTAR JACKET
color _ COTTON LINEN TWILL KELP
size _ L,XL
This is a new jacket.
Horizontal jacket.
It's definitely a collection piece.
It's a bit unassuming, but when I sized up and wore it at an exhibition, I was extremely impressed by its shape.
Therefore, the sizes are L and XL, keeping in mind the way I wear them.
Since the sleeves are long, I'm thinking of shortening the sleeve length from the sleeve side.
It's lined because it doesn't have sleeve openings, but that's an easy fix.
Please fix it in a good position and put it on.
It's good to roll up your sleeves though.
Although it is lined with a thin cupra cotton, it is quite lightweight.
In the photo, the fabric looks a little flat, but in reality, the knots and shine of the linen are quite strong.
All pocket openings are cut off.
too good
THE TRAWLERMAN SHIRT
color _ GIANT GINGHAM RAW/FLINT
size_M,L
This is also a collection piece for this time.
It was a new style of shirt, but I still remember being incredibly impressed by it.
The back length is long and the body is large.
And compared to its volume, the arms are so thin that it feels strange.
I was very impressed when I wore this.
A shirt that makes you feel generous with toogood's 3D cutting.
An original giant gingham check with a textured texture.
I think this shirt has a shape I've never seen before.
too good
THE TRAWLERMAN SHIRT
color _ PAPERY COTTON CHALK
size_M,L
This is a similar new style shirt.
Since the fabric is simpler than the gingham I mentioned earlier, I think you can get the most out of the form itself.
The horizontally large back yoke and the contrast of the arms are unlike anything I've seen before.
It's bulky, but it looks very sharp when worn.
I think you can really feel what toogood is doing.
The fabric has a light touch, so I think it's perfect for summer.
too good
THE BOSUN T-SHIRT
color _ CRAB COLLAGE
size_S,M,L
A T-shirt printed with the "club collage" used in toogood's collection visual.
Is the fabric double-thread?
Previously, the T-shirts we carried at our store were extremely thick with twin threads, so I think this is just right.
Toogood's outline is also a fabric that comes out perfectly.
The neck is a binder neck with a pinch, so you can rest assured that it won't get loose with repeated washing.
Regarding the content of the print, it is a collage.
collage.
THE COLLECTOR SCARF
color _ SILK TWILL CRAB COLLAGE
size_ONE SIZE
100% silk scarf.
The skin area that everyone loves.
I think it's best to turn the square shape into a triangle, then make it into a rectangle and wrap it around your neck.
I don't think there's anyone who doesn't like this collage, even people with shellfish allergies, so we also sell scarves.
This is a really high quality silk scarf.
The edges are handmade.
It's doing pretty well.

THE CARPENTER JACKET
color _ ORGANIC DENIM RAW
size_S,M,L
From here, the denim series.
This time I ordered a denim jacket for the first time.
Although it is a coverall type, it is quite sophisticated due to the draping outline, elbow darts, and changes in the side body.
toogood mainly sells large items, but this one isn't that big of a design.
The mood of the color and the appearance.
I think everyone will like this jacket.

THE SKIPPER JEAN
color _ ORGANIC DENIM RAW
size _ 28,30,32,34

THE SKIPPER JEAN
color _ ORGANIC DENIM INDIGO
size _ 28,30,32,34
And pants too.
There are two types of denim pants this time, RAW and INDIGO.
This THE SKIPPER JEAN is a waist belt type with a one-tuck in-tuck at the front and darts at the knees, where the tuck amount of fabric is released at the knees and becomes three-dimensional.
Thick.
knee darts
In terms of length, this is the shortest length among toogood's jeans.
However, since the hem is made with facings, I think the shape of the pants will come out really well even if you roll them up.
And one more thing.

THE ENGINEER JEAN
color _ ORGANIC DENIM RAW
size _ 28,30,32,34
too good
THE ENGINEER JEAN
color _ ORGANIC DENIM INDIGO
size _ 28,30,32,34
Here.
The fabric is the same as before, but the back of the waist belt is an elastic type.
The front is untucked and has a slightly bulky wading shape to the hem.
The darts in the knees are still intact.
Well, I think everyone has their own preferences, so I think it would be good if you could try them on and compare.
This toogood lineup has quite a variety, so I think you'll be able to see a lot of things.
Please take a look if you like.
