こういうアイテムも「ヴィンテージ」の仲間入り?

Are items like this considered "vintage"?

The recent "price increase" has become a hot topic,

Prices continue to rise due to high raw material costs in each category.

We are also experiencing rising material costs, etc.

Although we do our best to avoid raising prices,

It is expected that prices for manufacturer repairs will inevitably increase in the future.

If you look at the price increase, which feels a bit negative, from a different angle,

If you focus on what you currently have, you may make surprising discoveries.

These are not painted denim pants (lol)

Dolce & Gabbana 's denim pants sparked a huge denim boom in the 2000s.

The reason why I wore denim pants for casual and slightly formal occasions was

Isn't it definitely this brand?

In the past, denim pants were called jeans or jeans.

I remember when Dorugaba suddenly became popular all over the world, people started calling it ``denim.''

It seems that denim was originally the name of "material".

There was no problem with the denim "shirt", but the other denim ○○ felt a little strange.

Time has passed and now we are talking about jeans, jeans, and jeans.

I'm sure the young salesperson will give me a "?" look.

For the past few years, I've been hooked on vintage jeans and bought a lot of them,

Vintage Levi's etc. are becoming more and more popular and it's becoming hard to buy good ones.

Are you a clothes junkie there? As someone like myself, I gradually started thinking about buying things that were popular when I was in my 20s.

Looking back, the items I made when I was in my 20s are now vintage.

In other words, I'm getting older as well...

However, the jackets and other clothing follow the silhouette of the time, making them look outdated.

Of course, the shoes that were popular 20 years ago tend to have pointed tips, making them difficult to wear.

For the first time in a while, I wanted ``Dorugaba denim,'' which was a big hit.

A novel design and cutting at the time,

Expressing fanciful ideas with denim pants,

Dorugaba was one of the fashion icons for both men and women.

Nowadays, we don't hear much about fashion,

Were there fewer people around Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ginza 20 years ago who weren't wearing Dorugaba denim?

There was so much Dorugaba denim everywhere that you might think so.

What was impressive about Dorugaba's denim was the double waist and the use of exotic leather throughout.

Stitched with studs and sequins on the front and sides,

Includes a back belt that I bought after diving in Shimizu myself.

There were really many different designs on sale.

The reason why there were so many flashy things that don't even come to mind when you look at them now is probably due to the ``era.''

Although this is a used item, it is in relatively good condition...

Is it correct to say that it is a good product because it has been damaged?

The back pocket has a flap, which is a surprising detail.

The front has double pockets, a strange detail typical of the time (lol)

But this is the ``character'' of Dorugaba denim, so it's OK.

The denim here is often straight, slightly thick, and low-rise.

Does it feel like a low-rise version of LEE101?

Although the price is not shockingly high,

The quality is really low in the 2000s.

Poor sewing is a characteristic of imported products at the time,

I feel like I can fix it if it comes undone while I'm wearing it.

But I like the design and comfort, so this is fine.

“Vintage” was good in the first place because you could buy good and interesting things at a low price.

Sometimes I wonder what it is like to buy something that is so expensive.

There are various reasons for raising prices.

It can't be helped because this is the era.

But looking at what you currently have and customizing it to suit you,

I think this is the only originality that competes with the price.

If you want to enjoy things that are affordable in these times,

Even negative news becomes positive.

Fashion is really fun for everyone.

That's what fashion is all about.

Let's enjoy more things!
