Our house style
The design is based on the technique of creating three-dimensional from two-dimensional, which has been cultivated in the field of custom-made men's clothing for over 20 years.
Based on the skills of the tailor who sews the suit by hand and the cutter who carefully designs the suit by calculating the skeleton and movement of the human body, we have created a design that thoroughly balances style and functionality. .
House style is a word that refers to the unique style of the shop that the tailor (tailor) does not waver without being influenced by trends. The reason why we call our clothes 'house style' rather than 'design' is because we believe that 'style' is the most important thing when it comes to clothes.
The height, weight, and even the bone structure of each wearer are different, so the “design” is unintentional and changes depending on the wearer. As long as the "style" of the clothes is consistent, no matter who wears it, there will always be a kind of DNA that will remain somewhere.
What I was most conscious of when assembling the house style was to create a modern interpretation of good old classic items that should be loved. There are various elements such as style and color. Originally, we liked, collected, and researched vintage/work/military items that represent the good old America, so we took that as our roots, and added modern technology to add a delicate image. , became the product of this time.
Points
Sizing that is gentle on both the body and the fabric
The tighter the fabric, the more likely it is to pull sideways, making it easier to tear. Especially in outdoor scenes, the fabric is stressed by vigorous movements, so it is important to pay attention to the room and design. At bookend, even if we use stretch fabric, we don't rely on it as much as possible, and the sizing is to "compensate for the last push with stretch".
Planar details with awareness of the "mountain climbing" posture
We focused on whether ready-made three-dimensional models, which only have variations in size, may lead to difficulty in movement and poor style. The postures that are the longest in the movement of walking on the road and climbing the mountain are the posture of lowering the arms and swinging them vertically and the posture of raising and lowering the legs straight. At bookend, we approach the posture that is the longest and dare to develop flat details.
how to wear the right clothes
This is what we want to tell you the most through bookend. In terms of pants, by clearing the "lowering elements" such as vertical sagging of the fabric and horizontal blurring, it leads to ease of movement and ease of wear. The silhouette must not be tight, and the waist must be at the correct position. Bookend's pants are thoroughly balanced.
Hiroki Fujisawa
I seriously make clothes that can be worn in various activities with a sense close to life size.
That was the beginning of our bookend.
In fact, we asked various people to wear the samples, and thankfully, they said, “I want to wear this even in the city! I received a lot of opinions that
We intentionally do not think at all about ``let's design so that it can be worn on the street''.
If anything, I made it consciously, "I want you to wear it more in the mountains and on trips than usual."
As a result, I was very happy to receive such an opinion,
We honestly made what we want to wear.
Climb the mountain in style. It's easy to say so.
However, there are also life-threatening risks,
The emphasis is on descending safely rather than being stylish.
There is a saying, "Don't underestimate the mountains."
It can be said that it is too irresponsible manufacturing to ignore it and pursue only fashion recklessly.
As I mentioned earlier, it is designed only for wearing in the mountains and on trips.
It is made with great attention to the amount of exercise and materials.
I make clothes based on the idea that "there is nothing better than being safe and stylish".
