BGM: 佐野元春 - VISITORS

I worked late today. For enjoying this morning's reading, I started reading the rest of Karen Cheung's "The Impossible City". Indeed, I have not read it completely so can't say exact reviews about that. But I have been impressed by that book because it seems a really ambitious one. Through talking about the controversial place Hong Kong, She also tries to talk about her complicated life so sensitively. A great work... And I thought if I could write something like her (this is one of my bad habits. I tend to think about writing like this if I read something thrilling/interesting). Write like her. In short, writing MY memoir. For example, about this Shiso city, the Japanese subculture (Shibuya-Kei city pop, and the beginning of the magazine "Quick Japan"), the Aum scandalous incident, the campus life in Waseda university I had spent my youthful days... These pieces of ideas burst almost infinitely/randomly and flooded from my brain.. But of course, I can't say if I could write it actually as a great cluster of memoir.

Following that "The Impossible City"... Suddenly, I thought about Lloyd Cole's tunes I was enjoying at that time. About this music I remember this. When Kenji Ozawa released his first solo album "犬は吠えるがキャラバンは進む(The Dogs Bark, But The Caravan Goes On)", a writer wrote as "Ozawa will become like a great musician like Lloyd Cole". By reading that article, I decided to try to listen to... And also I can remember this. Once I had tried to be a journalist/freelance writer in a field of rock music critic. I had bought magazines like "Rockin' On" and "ele-king". I guess that talking about that kind of subculture would mean trying to talk about the "Portrait of a romantic" (this is the title of a long novel by Stephen Millhauser). Of course, this is just a readymade thought by me. It has no shape now. I might not be able to write it actually. But I believe it has a worth to write it step by step... I want to do that. Because I am getting becoming 48 years old. I am never young eternally. Soon 50s and 60s comes to me.

I remember the Beatles' song... "Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup". Suddenly, I thought that I wanted to write that memoir of mine by using a subject "YOU". I can remember Jay McInerney's "Bright Lights, Big City" and Paul Auster's "Winter Journal". But for me, it is never from any certain tactics. It is from my instant idea, but I want to write that on tomorrow, next Saturday after today's work. I remember... I also want to write the encountering with Haruki Murakami's books, and the teenage glorious days I enjoyed Flipper's Guitar and Cornelius. Like... "You are thinking about how long your life will last from now. About the time when will that end... And you are also thinking what you have achieved in your life until now. What would you achieve from now, too. By that idea, you tend to think that it would be sweet to die as Pet Shop Boys' tune 'West End Girls'". How does this sound?

I started my work. Today was the day my job coach and I did a meeting at my workplace. So we talked about the content of my work. How has it been going on? And suddenly, I cried a little in front of that job coach because I remembered a lot in my life... If I didn't meet my job coach, then I couldn't live this pleasant/funny days. And also I couldn't learn how to enjoy this whole autistic life. Yes, it is a dreamlike life. Of course, it can't be "a perfect life". I am now suffering from the problem of money management. At workplace, sometimes I feel that I have been treated roughly. But anyway, everything is "tasty". 10 years ago, I could never imagine THIS state. It is really like a manga... After today's work, I went back to my group home. I slept soon so couldn't write MY memoir. I want to write it in my free time. Slowly, slowly. It would end as a waste of time and effort... But so what?

But What Clothes Do You Truly Wear?

Apparently, people in fashion are just like us. Despite having closets overflowing with options, most people in this business rely on the same pieces day-to-day. 

Part of it is about practicality. Who really has time to coordinate all the outerwear and off-color pants we once aspired to wear, but now just sit untouched in our closets? Most of us have a handful of good outfits cataloged in our head, which we cycle through every week and hope nobody notices. Vogue ran a story about this earlier this year:

Like an exploding volcano of denim and satin, a tidal wave of cashmere and cotton, our clothes threaten to overtake our tiny apartments, to bury us alive under tees and trousers. This wouldn’t be so bad, maybe, if we actually wore all this stuff, if 365 days meant 365 different outfits—730 if we changed for evening! But nooo. In fact, most of us rely on a few favorites in serious rotation, leaving the rest of the orphans in the closet begging for crumbs.

To judge just how severe this situation has become, and with spring in full flower and the temptation to buy still more!—more!—beckoning from every shop and laptop, I asked some of my Vogue colleagues to share with me what it is they actually wear from their bursting closets.

The Vogue story is about womenswear, so we decided to pose the same question to stylish figures in the menswear trade. This post isn’t about wardrobe essentials -- a tired theme that ought to be retired -- but rather the personal habits of certain people who inspire us. With all the options they have in their wardrobes, what do they truly wear?

Mark Cho, Co-Founder of The Armoury

Given my work, I rotate through a lot of clothing depending on what we have in-store, but there are a few things that almost always make it into my weekly rotation. 

The first are chinos either in khaki or olive. I wear our Army Chino, which is cut with a full leg and medium-high rise. I tend to pair it with short, casual jackets such as our Ring Jacket A-1 bomber or house label City Hunter. They also work with button-down shirts, polos, sneakers, and loafers. 

The second is a navy suit. I have a double-breasted, wool-mohair blend suit from Ciccio, which has carried me through countless occasions where I need to look a little sharper without standing out too much. I wear this about once a week.

The third is some kind of “fancy” sport coat. I think people can get too carried away with trying to make everything as versatile as possible. Sometimes, it’s great to just have something that reflects a love for cloth and design. I like larger scale patterns for winter and smaller scale patterns for summer. Larger for winter because I find those patterns work well in tweeds and fuzzier, woolen fabrics. For the summer, I like smaller, crisper patterns in wool and wool-linen-silk blends. Life’s too short to only wear plain navy.

Finally, I like things in olive. Just as most men feel compelled to keep some navy as part of their weekly rotation, I try to have something in olive. I have a few pairs of olive trousers in different weights and cuts for this purpose. They pair well with jackets in tan, light brown, and dark blue.

Alessandro Squarzi, Founder of Fortela

My style has always remained the same over the years. I like to call it gypsy-classic – a mix between my classic roots and love for vintage militaria, denim, and Navajo jewelry. My everyday pieces include white pants, vintage military shirts, a vintage Elephant bandanas, and Navajo charms. These are like second skin for me year-round. 

In the winter, I often wear my father’s camel coat. It’s an evergreen piece – always elegant. In the summer, my uniform includes raw Fortela jeans and a white t-shirt. I’m also a big fan of English and American shoes. Edward Green and Alden are my first choices, but if I have to wear sneakers, it’s always Vans.   

Brian Davis, Founder of Wooden Sleepers

Summer in NYC is brutal. It’s hot, humid, and generally unbearable, so I try to balance between comfort and style. For footwear, I rotate between Sperry CPO sneakers and Clark’s desert boots. Shirts, I stick with vintage OCBDs and madras button-ups from Brooks Brothers; pants are either cut-off military chinos from the 1960s or cutoff fatigues in OG-107 cloth. For the rare, cool summer evening, I keep a vintage Vietnam-era jungle jacket or French workwear jacket on-hand for layering. Everything is loose-fit and designed for the punishing heat.

NYC winters can be equally brutal, so a good pair of boots is a must. I go between two pairs of Chippewa service boots – one in black, the other in brown. I don’t wear denim in the summer, so once the temperatures drop, I’m on a never-ending mission to find jeans with the highest rise and fullest cut possible. Right now, I rotate between RRL’s straight-leg cut, The Real McCoy’s Lot. 003, and Levi’s Vintage Clothing 1955 501s. 

Fall and winter are my favorite seasons because I get to break out my vintage grails – a Brown’s Beach jacket from the 1950s, USN deck jacket from the ‘40s, and an N-3b parka. But since we’re being totally honest, I mostly just end up throwing on an $80 Carhartt duck chore coat my mother-in-law gifted me a few years ago for Christmas. I layer it over a thermal-lined hoodie if I need a little extra warmth. I also wear a navy watch cap every day, which I bought for $15, as well as some kind of work shirt – flannel or chambray, mostly. Fall and winter style for me is about utility. 

Kenji Cheung, Co-Founder of Bryceland’s

Vintage eyewear is important to me, and I use my frames to complement whatever I’m wearing for the day. Browline frames go well with Ivy Style tailoring (navy or tweed sport coats, which I wear with vintage Levi’s or our Bryceland’s jeans). A classic, 1950s, thick French-style frame also goes well with oxford-cloth button-down shirts, high-waist trousers, and a vintage jacket in either denim or leather. 

I’m also obsessed with vintage Rolexes and Native American ingot silver jewelry. I find they look great with classic tailoring and/ or vintage outfits (or a mix of the two). A gold bubble-back Rolex goes well with a navy two-piece suit. Likewise, a Native American pin can be a nice touch on the lapel of a three-piece, dark gray, worsted suit. I wear one with a 20th-century, sterling silver, hunting pocket-watch and a thick whirling log bracelet. 

Come back tomorrow for part two of this series, where we cover four more of our favorite people in the menswear trade.

My Time at Pitti Uomo 97

Last week I had the opportunity to go to Pitti Uomo 97 in Florence with the Styleforum crew. My job was photographer: I shot street style for the Styleforum Journal, and also basically whatever else Arianna (the editor of the Journal) or Fok (the owner of Styleforum) wanted me to shoot. That included following Peter (@urbancomposition, who I thought of as our “talent”) around and shooting his various meetings with people and appointments with brands. It also included documenting the podcasts they recorded with several special guests. Eva Kuhle, owner of Epaulet, was also there working with us, but also to do her own recon work for her shop in LA.

It was a spectacular week that exceeded my expectations in every way. The crew all worked extremely well together; everybody I met was exceptionally friendly; the brands and makers we talked to were super cool; the events were fantastic; and the unlimited negroni’s at Harry’s Bar for the WM Brown party were delicious.

At the end of the first day. Shot by @urbancomposition. Wearing the 18 East Trekking turtleneck, Polo RL navy polo coat, Sid Mashburn natural denim and snuff suede chukkas from Meermin.

For me, going with an established crew like that was ideal, since I’d never been. It allowed me to be introduced to people through Peter, brought along to appointments to meet makers like Akshat and Varvara of 100 Hands, and also to have a defined job to do to structure my day and fill any downtime I had.

I had a little bit of doubt before going—confident but uncertain. Plus I was taking a new camera body I’d never shot fast-paced action with before (the very affordable full-frame mirrorless Canon RP). All of those doubts melted away as soon as I saw the photos on the first morning. Pitti is great, I discovered, because everybody there has an established rising-tide-lifts-all-boats mentality where everybody is tagging everybody and re-sharing everybody’s photos on Instagram. So the first afternoon, Simon Crompton of Permanent Style reposted one of my photos to his 130,000 followers, and boom, we were off to the races. The rest of the week, some of the most stylish dudes there liked my images and requested to repost them—Kenji Cheung of Brycelands, David Coggins, Jake Grantham of Anglo-Italian, Buzz Tang from Anthology, and others. It’s a virtuous cycle of mutually beneficial promotion for each other and it was very gratifying to see my work not only turn out well (a personal assessment) but to also have it be recognized and appreciated by others.

At the end of the second day. Donegal tweed “Lorenzo” sport coat and pale blue poplin Marcus shirt, both by Eidos, Seven Fold tie (a gift from Kenji Kaga the day earlier), charcoal VBC flannel trousers from Spier & Mackay, Durant Adelaide cap toes from Beckett Simonon. Shot by @urbancomposition.

Highlights from the week include the great parties thrown: Plaza Uomo’s party Tuesday night, where I met several new people (shout out Philippe, Andreas, Matt and Justin); The WM Brown party at Harry’s Wednesday night, where the Negronis flowed freely; The Styleforum private dinner that same night, where about 20 people from SF-affiliated companies enjoyed a five-course dinner at a Michelin-starred restaurant; Also the podcast recording sessions, where really great guys like Ethan Newton, Simon Crompton and Milad Abedi (plus several more, that’s not all) stopped in to give their thoughts to Peter and Eva on various subjects. I also got to meet the people behind two of my favorite tailoring shops, both out of Hong Kong—Anthology and Prologue. We met Buzz and his crew (including excellent photographer Charlie) from Anthology for breakfast and a nice chat one morning, and met up with Jerry and Chiwang from Prologue for a chat and to get measured.

And Pitti couldn’t be in a more lovely city. Florence, my wife’s and my favorite Italian city, was charming as always. Peter and I had a killer view from our Airbnb right onto the Piazza del Duomo. Being essentially a Medieval city, everything is walkable in Florence—10 minutes to the Fortezza where Pitti is held, 10 minutes to the other apartment where we recorded the podcasts, 10 minutes to Harry’s Bar. There were lights strung all about the city streets as well, making the walks home after dark magical. The weather was excellent, above freezing at night and sunny Wednesday on.

The third day. Gun club “Lorenzo” sport coat and washed chambray Marcus work shirt, both by Eidos, Mughal print scarf by Drake’s, Ashland olive five pocket pants by Billy Reid, snuff suede Meermin chukkas.

After Pitti was over, I took a personal trip up north to Bergamo for the weekend. The headquarters of the Italian branch of my church are there. Our head pastor and his wife embodied perfect Italian hospitality, and we enjoyed a leisurely weekend, including a wonderful afternoon and lunch at Lake Iseo with a group of church members (get the baked bass at Il Buco in Iseo, it is incredible).

During the weekend in Bergamo. Eidos shirt, tie and jacket. Drake’s Kelim print pocket square, mid-gray VBC flannel trousers from Spier & Mackay.

Check out all my street style photos at Styleforum, and also my Instagram where I’ve put Story Highlights from each day (which includes random pics and videos shot throughout the day, including my photo gear walkthrough, which many people really liked, not just the official street style images).

If you’ve ever thought about going to Pitti but aren’t sure it would be worthwhile, definitely don’t hesitate. The people are warm, the fair has lots of really great makers showcasing outstanding goods, the city is wonderful, and the parties are great.

Hope to see you there next time.
