ルールがあるからこその楽しさ

It's fun because there are rules

Last Saturday,
Children's entrance ceremonies have been postponed due to the coronavirus.
The only people who think this is the long-awaited entrance ceremony are the parents.
What about the child?
However, even in an unpredictable situation,
I would like to express my gratitude to all the people at the school who held the entrance ceremony.

This time I will talk about the suit I ordered before.

Lately, I have been writing about my belongings in quick succession.
I don't have many opportunities to go out now, so
I am writing down my thoughts on each.
While advocating "lifestyle proposals through watches,"
Since it is difficult to come up with such a topic,
I hope you can read through it and find it helpful.

What a “suit” means to men?
I believe that it is the most representative of a person's character.
From what is commonly called a business suit,
There is actually a wide range of clothing, including dress suits.
For me, it's like a T-shirt and jeans.
It is also one of the "everyday clothes".

I have some old-fashioned ideas about fashion.
"You can wear a suit properly and wear casual clothes well."
It was like a password for people in the fashion industry a long time ago.
The meaning of that word somehow makes sense now.

Suits are said to have originated in England.
After that, he moved to Italy and other Europe.
And then to America.
It is said that it spread all over the world from there.
The details of suits vary greatly depending on the country.

Suits in Japan are represented by business suits,
"Black suit" is considered basic,
Honestly, that's not a formal suit.
It is said that Japan is the only country that wears black on a regular basis.
In other countries, it is said that black is only worn on special occasions such as parties and receptions.

I won't be able to finish writing out the details, so I'll leave it here,
This suit is one of the ``gems'' I ordered last year.




This is also what I requested at the familiar Hiroshima "The My Way" .
This fabric is from a British luxury fabric manufacturer called ``Holland & Shelley'' .
He said he found it as an exhibit while purchasing fabrics around fall last year.
A normal order would cost over 200,000 yen.
It seems that the fabric would cost more than 300,000 yen if it were a luxury brand.
This time, I requested it immediately because there was only a few left, but
It was the most expensive item I've ordered in the past.

Still, from now on I will order this fabric,
Considering that it will be difficult to do so financially, it is important to take the plunge and dive into fresh water.
By ordering it yourself, you can get a suit that will last a lifetime →
It will be the sales of Shimizu-kun from The My Way →
The relationship between Shimizu-kun and the fabric shop also improves →
Fabric shops can get new fabrics again →
Furthermore, it becomes part of the source of each factory →
As a result, the world will be enriched!
Then there's no reason not to ask.

Not only this time but also in the past,
We ask for a plain color of ``navy'' or ``gray.''
The one in the last blog was plain navy, but
It is OK to have a woven pattern.
Because no matter where you go in the world, as long as you have these two colors, there will be no problem.

Recently, the number of patterned and colored suits and jackets has increased,
For things like that, I choose the scene,
The only people who look good on me are those related to fashion,
To be honest, I think there are very few Japanese people who look good in me.

In addition, many of the latest materials place emphasis on "ease of wear,"
Many are light and stretchy.
Speaking of the evolution of fabrics,
Materials that are physically light and stretchy have low strength.
And even if you repair the thing that has grown out (the thing that has fallen out),
I can't wear it for a long time because other parts of my body become weak.

British fabrics are known for their durability,
It symbolizes the culture passed down from parents to children.
This also applies to leather shoes.
It is said that something that is well made can be used for a long time.
I feel a similar philosophy to watches.

The only thing you need to be careful about is
As I wrote last time, the suit has details,
It varies depending on the country.
Britain is ``constructive.'' To put it simply, it is strict.
Italy has a ``non-constructed'' structure, which means it has a light structure.

In my case, I have shoulder width and chest circumference,
When you wear a British suit, you look like some kind of bouncer.
That's why we make our suits with a special Italian unconstructed finish that removes the core.
To be more specific, even if you call it an Italian suit,
It varies a little depending on the region, from Naples in the south to Milan in the north.
For more information, please contact the store where you are ordering.

There are also detailed "rules" for suits.
The fun of the suit changes depending on whether you consider this a hassle or a fun experience.
When it comes to watches, are they manual or automatic?
Or perhaps quartz?
The shape, color, and fabric of the suit, as well as
Matching shirts, ties, shoes, etc.
The best thing to do is to wear long socks called ``hose'' to hide your shin hair.
Nowadays, it is a must-have item for men.

You can find out more details in books and on the internet, but
If you want to get a complete set of high-quality items, it will cost a lot of money.
The impression of your outfit will change dramatically depending on whether or not you make a compromise here.
However, what I don't want you to misunderstand is that ``higher price does not mean better quality.''
It is important to choose what is necessary and suitable for you.
The best way to find out is to communicate with the store staff.

And the suits are not only of really good quality now,
By repeatedly repairing it, you can wear it for a long time.
In that sense, making a suit that will look good even 10 or 20 years from now is
It's not a waste or an expensive purchase.

However, it is difficult to get used to clothes that you are not used to wearing.
Sean Connery, who played the first James Bond in the 007 movie,
I wanted the suits in the movie to look natural.
He was wearing a suit even when he was sleeping.
When I hear that, I feel that the suits are also very deep.

I feel like a double-breasted suit is a little early for me,
I'm starting to get used to it so that it will suit me perfectly when I'm around 50 years old.
Until then, while maintaining my body shape,
Because you can be conscious of creating a body that looks good as a double,
I wanted to pay more attention to my body and health.

By the way, the last time I wore it...
I was worried that my stomach was sticking out a little bit (lol)
I am deeply sorry for being a little lazy during my self-restraint life.
So I have to go on a diet for two weeks from today!
