Hello to everyone reading this blog. This is Kiriyama from Tokyu Plaza Ginza.
The weather is finally getting cooler in the mornings and evenings, making it more comfortable to spend the day outside. Today, I'd like to introduce two items made from cotton linen dungaree, a perfect fabric for the transition between seasons. These items can be layered in the winter, so don't miss out.

The cotton linen dungaree is made of 60% cotton and 40% linen. Until a few years ago, linen was considered a summer material, but after experiencing the extreme heat and humidity this year, I think people are starting to think of linen as a material that can be worn year-round. The linen content prevents the fabric from clinging to the skin, making it comfortable to layer in the winter.

MARINE BLOUSE C/L
Item No. 80510810001
Colour. Off White / Blue / Ivory（Ivory is Kichijoji and online store exclusive colour）
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 8
The Marine Blouse was inspired by a photograph from the 1920s or 1930s. The photograph shows a woman wearing work clothes, with a frilly blouse layered underneath. The 1920s and 1930s were clouded by wartime, so the image shows women enjoying fashion even in difficult circumstances, and gives a sense of strength, so the design of this blouse was inspired by the woman in the photograph.
This item features a distinctive sailor-like collar. The design slightly reveals the décolletage, so it's surprisingly not too girly and has just the right amount of casualness.
As autumn deepens, we recommend layering it with a jacket or cardigan to show off the sailor collar! This time, we coordinated it with the Paratrooper Shirt - Pigment. It goes especially well with an open-collar jacket!

GATHER COLLAR BLOUSE C/L
Item No. 80510810003
Colour. Blue / Ivory
Height: 162cm / Wearing Size: 8
This cotton linen gathered collar blouse was released last year. This year, it has been slightly updated with a raw edge frill design. The raw edge makes it easier to incorporate into casual outfits.
This gathered collar blouse can be worn on its own in the fall, or layered over a T-shirt. In the winter, we recommend coordinating it with a stand-up collar and ruffled cuffs that cover the back of your hands!

To further enhance Nigel Cabourn's masculine military and workwear pieces, I think you can achieve a uniquely feminine style by pairing it with something sweet or showing some skin. This is an item that will definitely broaden the scope of your coordination. Give it a try.
