Fluffy.

Hello! This is Chiba from Nine Tailor shop .

 

It's already mid-December. So ( or is that so? ) I went to Noge the other day - it was my first time there and it was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed both the underground and above ground areas, and although I arrived before evening, it was already night before I knew it. It has become a holy place for me as a beer-loving, sugar-loving person. I'm hoping to secretly start a blog about my bar wanderings one day. I wonder if people will be angry?

Well, I'll save my wanderings for another time, but this time I'd like to introduce you to this fluffy treat that's perfect for these increasingly cold weather days!

N-1548 / Thistle Dome Cap

I'd like to share a few highlights, but first and foremost, it's the sheen and feel of the fur. This is 100 % polyester faux fur, but the finish is so good you'll wonder if it's real. Incidentally, it uses eco-fur from Ecopel , a company founded by SARFATI , a French company that has been dealing in real fur for many years. It seems that they can create this because they understand real fur.

 I often think that fake fur can look a little cheap and feel a little unsatisfying, so it's probably worth the price, but this one has a glossy feel without being gaudy, and it has a luxurious feel without being overdone, which is just the right balance.

 

And what's really unfortunate is that I can only describe the feel of this material in my own words ( tears ). It feels like a blanket that has been carefully brushed, like the feel of some kind of animal, or like a blanket that is said to melt in your mouth. I would be so happy if the back of my hand or the computer mouse I'm using right now felt like this. I hope I can convey that.

 

The next highlight is the boa on the brim. This is made using a special circular knitting machine ( a cylindrical machine that can make a lot of T- shirts, cut-and-sew tops, etc. ) , and by knitting it together with air, it has a fluffy and lightweight finish.

The material also contains a small amount of angora. Angora fibers are thin and long, giving the material a glossy, silk-like texture. The angora blend also helps prevent the boa from appearing too rough, a nice feature.

I was personally concerned that if the texture was too rough, it would look a little too casual, but the balance between the sheen of the fur and the texture of the boa is exquisite, so it's great that you can style it without leaning too casually. Although it's mainly made of wool, it's smooth to the touch so it doesn't irritate the skin, which is an important point. It can be worn with the brim down, so it feels nice against the skin.

 

I wanted to wear an M-51 because I wanted to add a military feel, but I had to give up because it was in the dry cleaning. I chose black as the color, which gives it a slightly mannish feel. 

Men's staff member Masuda said he felt a Nordic vibe and chose to go with a Nordic feel.

The folded part is a little thicker, giving it a roll cap silhouette. It has a fluffy appearance, so it looks cute at first glance, but when you put it on, it feels really comfortable. 

Although the oversized leather gives it a slightly boyish look, the hat's shine and color balance give it a nice finish.

If you turn the brim down and turn it into a sailor hat, the look changes again. Personally, I prefer this style. There are no people with long hair in our women's team, but when someone with long hair wears it, I really like the balance between the round silhouette of the hat and their long hair.

 

We also have a cap from the same series available, but we only have a few left, so we'll just briefly introduce it. There's only one beige left, and we're running low on black as well. Be sure to get yours soon!

N-1547 / Thistle Cap

Well, this time I've mainly introduced the dome cap, but there's one more thing I'd like to introduce.

We held an event in our store in October and received a great response, and now we have a new product in stock from Torimingei! It's called " SANTA KOBOUSHI ." The contrast between the sleepy eyes and the indescribable expression on his face and the impressive Santa hat is just too cute. We only have a limited quantity of this item in stock, so hurry! With Christmas fast approaching, be sure to welcome this little one into your home!

Well, Chiba's next turn will be in the new year, so I hope everyone has a happy new year! I've attached a photo of me being surprised during dinner, and if you look closely, you can see that I'm wearing our company cap. Please be careful not to drink too much at year-end parties - I'll be careful too (^O^)
