Cat Wearing Bear

去年の冬にGジャンやカバーオールの中にフードを着て過ごすというのが温かくて快適なので気に入ってました。
サーモンピンクやグリーンをローテーションしてる中で、ふとブラウンが必要だなと。
職業病でしょうか?
欲しいなと思ったら買おうという発想では無く。作ろうという発想。
思い立った私はすぐに岐阜の戦友XX DEVELOPMENTの社長太一君に電話しました。

私『もしもしブラウンのALASKA HOODIE作ってよ』
私も20年服を作ってるので口頭で色を伝えるほど雑な伝言ゲームは無いというのは周知してるつもりです。
太一君『ブラウンって言っても色々有るじゃん!古泉さんは黒のSWEATを作るのにPrinceton大学の黒のVintage SWEATを2着送ってきた訳だし、TCBはBrown大学のSWEATをサンプリングする?』
私『気に入ってるブラウンが有るからすぐに送るよ!届いた?』
太一君『届いたってスタンプじゃん』

そんなやり取りから生まれたカラーが “BROWN’S BROWN”
要は熊色です。

本当にそんなノリで作った別注なの?と言われてしまいそうですが、別注というのは実はリスペクトや愛が無いと行けないと思ってて、全て修正する必要があるアイテムをベースに別注で作る必要がある?と私は常日頃から思っていました。
なので個人的には文句の無い後付けフードのベースに私がDENIMのインナーに着たい色を作って貰ったというストーリー。
今回はTCB単体でもお世話になりまくってる古泉さんも同時発売でALASKAの別注カラーが発売されます。
古泉さんはデニムにも負けず劣らずSweatも沢山スペシャルを所有されており、かつここ最近まで世界的有名なSWEATメーカーにも在籍されていたのでこのALASKA HOODIEがお墨付きを得た事に私も嬉しく思います。

是非SUREのインライン 古泉さんのBLAK ‘n’ BLACKと共に”BROWN’S BROWN”もよろしくお願いします。
『太一君からは猫が熊を着るのか』
と揶揄されたので発売記念で愛猫と共にCat Wearing Bear
身体と共に心も温まるSWEATだと思います!

いつも太一君ありがとう!またLINEするね♡

In winter I always like wearing a hoodie under a denim jacket or a chore jacket because it’s warm and comfy. While rotating between a salmon pink and a green one, I started to feel that I might need a brown one, which I think many of you can relate to. Maybe it’s an occupational side effect, but instead of buying a new one, I always think of making it. As soon as I had the idea, I called Taichi, the boss of XX DEVELOPMENT, my sewing comrade in Gifu.

Me: “Hello, can you make a brown ALASKA HOODIE?”
Taichi: “There are many kinds of brown! Koizumi-san sent me two black vintage sweatshirts from Princeton University to make a black sweatshirt, so maybe refer to the brown from a sweatshirt of Brown University?”

Me: “I have a brown one that I like, so I’ll send it right away! Have you received it? ”
Taichi: “It’s just an emoji stamp of a bear named Brown…”

The color “BROWN’S BROWN” was born from that exchange.
I’m sure you’ll ask, “Is this really a custom order made with a whim?”
But I think that good clothings are already made with respect and love, and what else do you need to add but keeping the alteration as simple as possible can be a way to pay respect to the manufacturer, isn’t it? So, for me, the story is that I had them make a color that I wanted to wear as an inner layer of denim jacket based on a hoodie that I love. This time, Koizumi-san, who has lent us some super vintage pieces before, will also be releasing a custom-made BK color for ALASKA hoodie at the same time. Koizumi owns many special sweatshirts that are no less than denim, and until recently he was also working for a world-famous sweat manufacturer, so I’m happy that this ALASKA HOODIE has received his approval.

Please look forward to “BROWN’S BROWN” along with Koizumi’s BLAK ‘n’ BLACK
Taichi teased me by saying, “A cat lover as big as a bear wears a hoodie in bear color?”
To celebrate the release, I took a photo with my Cat, Tora. I think this sweatshirt will warm your heart as well as your body!
Thank you as always, Taichi! I’ll text you again for a collab next year.
