The February Delivery- from 40s to 60s the US
The month of February truly lies on the border between seasons.
While there is still a hint of winter in the air, the light is beginning to turn slightly towards spring.
It's too early to make a big change to your look, but it's time to notice a definite change.
The latest arrivals fit that perfect "in-between" feeling.
Using memories of American clothing from the 1940s to the 1960s as a clue,
We took a fresh look at everyday clothing.
BIGYANK
BIG YANK's collection of work shirts based on the 1940s will finally be released on Saturday, February 21st.
The director is a man who has been involved with vintage items for many years.
This is Yu Fujiwara from BERBERJIN.
At that time, workwear had
Details born out of necessity, not decoration.
Asymmetrical pockets, structure that ensures range of motion, and stitching that supports durability.
The asymmetrical pockets are for storing cigarettes and rolling papers.
The storm cuffs are designed to allow the garment to move freely while preventing snagging or tearing during work.
Check them one by one,
It has been carefully reconstructed within the context of modern production.
Rather than simply recreating the past,
The sincerity of the past is presented as clothing for the present.
It overturns the stereotype that work shirts are simply made.
That's the shirt.
DENIM COVERALL SERIES
Next up is a denim coverall series that originated from workwear from the 1940s.
The 1940s was the time of World War II.
With the increase in the military industry and factory workers, clothing became less decorative and more functional.
The needs of the site are directly reflected in the design,
Chambray and denim were used to provide both washability and breathability.
A coverall and trousers set-up
Although it was originally workwear,
Over the years, it has gained a presence as "everyday wear."
Rugged, rational, and beautiful.
This balance remains unchanged even as times change.
The denim material changes over time,
It continues to mark the time of each wearer.
WAKOUWA
Finally, with memories of the seaside in the 1960s as the backdrop
WAKOUWA jacket.
The 1960s was a period of post-war economic growth and expansion of the middle class.
The culture of enjoying leisure time has spread to more people.
Yachting and sailing are one of them.
The connection between these leisure activities and urban life was also a characteristic of this era.
Yacht parkas and sailing jackets.
Both were originally garments to protect the body from wind and water.
But the functional clothing
Eventually, it became accepted as a design that could be worn on the street.
Light, easy to move in, and somehow free.
There is a sense of freedom that can be felt even if you are unfamiliar with the ocean.
A brief moment before the seasons change.
This is the moment when clothes that are neither too thick nor too light look their most beautiful.
Although the period is getting shorter every year, I think it is an essential garment in this modern age with advanced air conditioning and other technologies.
This is especially true if there are details or a story behind it that you can grow to love.
1940s workwear.
Marine wear from the 1960s.
With different backgrounds,
What they all have in common is
It is everyday wear that can be worn for a long time.
and,
A design that is created with functionality in mind that can be seen as beautiful in everyday life.
The values that ANATOMICA has always held dear are also
It's right there.
For a quiet start to the new season.
