Hello everyone. This is Nakamine from the Nakameguro store.
On a personal note, I was previously based at the Kichijoji store but have been transferred to the Nakameguro store as of November 1st.
To everyone in Nakameguro, I look forward to working with you!
To customers who used to shop at the Kichijoji store, I would be very happy if you would stop by if you're in the area. We look forward to seeing you!
The AW25 collection has a great selection of outerwear, but I'd like to introduce some very unique items that I personally recommend.
MODIFIED REVERSIBLE COAT
Item No : 80510800005
Colour : Green / Black
Size : 6 / 8
It's actually a reversible combination of an MA-1 and an M-65 liner. The MA-1 was created as a flight jacket for the US Air Force, and is a highly insulating jacket perfect for cold climates and high-altitude missions. On the other hand, the M-65 was used by the US military in the 1960s, and is excellent at keeping out the cold and wind, with a tough military feel that's also appealing.
The fact that it's reversible means you can wear it to suit your mood and the occasion!
- Front Side -
The high-density nylon gives the MA-1 its distinctive elegant sheen. The simple and stylish design is accented by the high neck rib. The padding is lightweight and functional, boasting antibacterial, odour-resistant, and heat-retaining properties. Lightweight and warm, it's the ultimate combination.
Furthermore, the flap pockets on both sides are also an important detail of the MA-1. I think they were inspired by the main pockets that appeared in the transition to the 1970s. Incidentally, the models from the 1950s and 1960s were simply buttoned. It's interesting to learn about the designs from the different eras.
- Back Side -
The inside is quilted, reminiscent of an M-65 liner. Quilting is the fluffy feel with seams. This provides both solid warmth and a stylish design.
Using old military documents as a reference for remaking, the quilting is combined with different patterns and colours to create a patchwork look. It's full of playfulness and is very interesting.
The waist has a drawstring, which can be tightened to create a gathered, puffy silhouette, which is a nice feature.

MODIFIED REVERSIBLE SKIRT
Item No : 80510852005
Colour : Green / Black
Size : 6 / 8
Like the coat, this skirt is also reversible and has a soft, flowing A-line silhouette that is very gorgeous.
I had the impression that MA-1 jackets and liner jackets were very voluminous, but in reality they were not as wide as I expected, and the clean silhouette made them very easy to wear.
The folded waist rib and the zipper on the back are nice accents. I'm not the only one who thinks it looks a bit like a broad arrow...
Since the skirt is the main focus, I paired it with a black ARMY CREW JERSEY top with red as an accent colour ♪ I personally like the quilted patchwork.
Being able to enjoy two styles with one outfit is very appealing. It looks like it will make everyday coordination more fun.
