sponsored by Takashimaya One day at Kodansha. While waiting for the elevator, FORZAR's Takahashi was thinking about something. Then, a suspicious shadow crept up behind him... "Wow! What a surprise!" It was FORZA STYLE editor-in-chief Hoshiba who pulled the classic knee-knocking prank. Takahashi hadn't had many opportunities to meet with Hoshiba recently due to his extremely busy schedule. While they were having a casual conversation, Takahashi had wanted to consult Hoshiba about something. This was a great chance! Takahashi: "Hoshiba-san, I've been wanting to get a coat for the fall and winter. I have quite a few navy ones, and I've been wearing more and more gray suits, so this year I want a gray one. Do you have any recommendations for something that gives off a bit of adult sexiness or sexiness?" Hoshiba: "Okay, I'll pick one out for you. Shall I bring it to the next photo shoot?" And so Hoshiba headed to Takashimaya Style Order Salon Shinjuku branch. While I was thoroughly searching for coats for the fall and winter season... Mr. Kusogami, a buyer at Takashimaya, who is always a regular, gave me his recommendations for coats.着物で着物で着物で着物で着物で着物で着物で着物。 English: Chesterfield coat / 78,000 yen (excluding tax) Kusogami: "This is a single chesterfield coat. It's made from a British wool tweed material called jamieson's, which is woven and finished by Miyuki Woolen Mills in Japan. It's a collaborative material between the UK and Japan. For a tweed, it's quite soft and has a supple finish." Kusogami: "The key point is that it has a calm and elegant atmosphere. Gorgeous fabrics have been gradually gaining in popularity, which can sometimes feel a bit cramped, but for example, we've widened the shoulders a bit to give it a more relaxed feel, and made the V-zone a bit wider to create a calm atmosphere." Hoshiba: "Indeed, the balance is just right. This would go well with denim, and also with a suit." Chesterfield coat (double) / 198,000 yen (excluding tax) Kusogami: "This is 100% cashmere from Italian fabric by Loro Piana. This season we're proposing a slightly lighter grey." Hoshiba: "This is so luxurious. Can I try this one on too? Oh, it's nice. This is so cool." Authentic British, or luxurious Italian? It was a tough decision, but we decided to go for it and borrow two pieces. Since we had the chance, we decided to have Takahashi try both on! Hoshiba: "Any other recommendations besides coats?" Kusogami: "Just this season, we started taking orders for knitted stoles. They are reversible with a slightly pointed tip, and you can use the color on either side. The material is 70% cashmere and 30% silk, and it is a high-quality fabric called Cariaggi Lanificio spa made in Italy. There are three designs: large, medium, and small." Kusogami: "This is a color sample, but it's hard to imagine it with a color swatch, so we made color samples with the actual knit fabric and selected a total of 28 colors based on color trends." Hoshiba: "Can you choose the colors for both the front and back?" Kusogami: "Yes, you can choose both! It's 28 colors x 28 colors, so you can choose a very original color combination yourself." In other words, you can choose from 784 different color combinations! Hoshiba was stunned by this. Of course, he borrowed the stole as well and presented it to Takahashi. Just as Takahashi ordered, the two gray coats are mature and a little sexy. "Both are cool!" Takahashi's eyes sparkle. First, the single chester coat. Takahashi: "The silhouette is really beautiful, and it has a really wooly feel, but it's light!" Hoshiba: "Herringbone patterns tend to give off a heavy image, but this one is made with lightness in mind, so it's light to wear. It's made of Jamieson's, a very famous Scottish Shetland wool, so it's supple and has a typical British feel." Takahashi: "Oh, there's something on the back, too." Hoshiba: "It's a back belt on the back. It raises the waist a little, making your legs look longer." Hoshiba: "By the way, the price is 78,000 yen (excluding tax)." Takahashi: "Wow, that's the price for a custom order!?" Hoshiba: "Of course it's custom! So you can change the buttons, and you can make the diagonal slant pockets horizontal. You can also make the length longer, and make other changes." Next, I'll try on the second double chester coat. Hoshiba: "This time, I wanted to try on this second coat, which is meant to bring out the sexiness that was in Takahashi's order. What do you think?" Takahashi: "It feels amazing to the touch. It's kind of smooth!" Hoshiba: "It's double-breasted, but the seam isn't very deep. Usually, double-breasted coats are very deep, but this one is a little shallower, more like a single-breasted coat. That's why it's light to wear. It's light, and the fabric is from Italy, Loro Piana, and it's 100% cashmere, so it's very soft." Takahashi: "This is amazing! It's sexy, even to me, and I'm sure I'll faint. Actually, I'm fainting right now (laughs)." Hoshiba: "By the way, this one also has a back belt, which in the same way raises the waist and makes the legs look longer. This one also comes in a variety of colors, and since it's made to order, you can freely customize it by changing the color of the buttons or lengthening the length." Takahashi: "I haven't really worn a light gray like this before." Hoshiba: "It looks great on you. Actually, I want one too!" And finally, here's a hidden gem! Hoshiba: "When wearing a coat, a scarf is an absolute necessity. This scarf is made of high-quality fabric that is 70% cashmere and 30% silk, so it has this texture. You can choose two colors from a variety of colors. It can be used as a reversible item, so you can wear it to look like a capable man at work, and when you're going out on a date with a girl after work, you can wear it for a softer look like this..." Takahashi: "What an elegant color combination. I personally thought that reversible items were difficult to use, but this is really easy to use!" Hoshiba: "And because it's rhombus-shaped, the inside is neat and tidy. It's an unusual shape, isn't it?" Takahashi: "Indeed, I thought that the ones I have were a bit bulky, but this is really easy to use." As a result of Hoshiba's presentation, Takahashi was completely captivated by the autumn/winter coats and scarves from Takashimaya Style Order Salon. Without even having time to cool down from the fainting feeling, he and Hoshiba headed to TSS to place their order right away. TSS is also holding an event titled "Custom Coat Fair" from October 2nd to 22nd. Why not go out and find a companion for autumn and winter that suits your taste and body type?
