First, whether you like or dislike sweatshirts, and whether you wear them or not, makes a huge difference in how much you're interested, so which are you?
From my experience, I do think the trend has changed between pre- and post-COVID.
Before COVID, I myself found them too casual and couldn't shake off the feeling of everyday wear, so I wasn't a fan.
However!
There has been an increase in stylish vintage clothing and high-end sweatshirts that can be used to intentionally dress down an outfit, or that aren't embarrassing to wear even when simply put on.
Sweatshirts that can be washed at home, are comfortable, made of sturdy fabric, and have a long lifespan.
There's no option not to wear them.
This time, I'd like to reintroduce OLDMAN'S TAILOR's popular sweatshirts.
Let's take a look together at why they're so popular.
OLDMAN'S TAILOR OMT Rubber Print Crewneck Sweatshirt (Brushed Back) [1172]
OLDMAN'S TAILOR sweatshirts look the same at first glance, but there are versions with brushed back and terry cloth lining.
You can choose based on your preference, but it's cold now, so I'm wearing the warm brushed-back type.
The top is worn by someone 160cm tall, size 36 in charcoal black.
The bottom is worn by someone 156cm tall, size 34 in grey beige.
These are really warm.
This year's new colors also include mustard and sax blue.
There are shirt-type and hoodie-type versions, and preferences might be divided here as well.
If you prefer a clean look around your face and like blankets or scarves, the shirt type is recommended.
The logo peeking out from the blanket looks great!
Getting this "great look" is surprisingly difficult, as some logos can look cheap and old, so be careful.
OLDMAN'S TAILOR is actually a men's brand.
I think the logo is a simple and cool font and balance, stripped of unnecessary elements.
It looks great on both adult men and women.
OLDMAN'S TAILOR OMT Rubber Print Hooded Sweatshirt (Brushed Back) [1170]
Hooded version of the same fabric.
Although it's 100% cotton, some sweatshirts have very heavy fabric, but this one is not heavy at all.
I have a severely straight neck and chronic neck pain, so even thin chain necklaces feel heavy and I don't wear them, but this hood is fine!
A hoodie is great on its own, but it's even better with an outer layer on top.
It keeps you warm and prevents loneliness even without a scarf or muffler!
And if it snows a little, you can pull it over your head to fend off the flakes.
For the charcoal black, it's size 36 on someone 156cm tall,
For the sax blue, it's size 38 on someone 160cm tall.
Furthermore!
I mentioned that OLDMAN'S TAILOR's hood is light, but
It also has a cool, upright appearance!
Some hoods lie flat or pull back and feel heavy, but this one never does that.
It always stands up neatly and frames your face, like a picture frame.
Coat off, blanket version.
I made a reel this time too, so I'd be happy if you could watch it as well!

Actually, what I want to introduce this time are the OLDMAN'S TAILOR sweatshirts, and another hidden item.
That would be the R&D.M.Co- blanket.
R&D.M.Co- Check Blanket [7178]
OLDMAN'S TAILOR is designed by a married couple, with the husband handling the men's OLDMAN'S TAILOR and the wife the women's R&D.M.Co-.
So, their compatibility is perfect.
And what many people own multiple of is R&D.M.Co-'s wool blanket.
This year, it's a checked blanket.
Since the colors and patterns change every year, I think it's best to buy one when you love it!
Made in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, where the designers live, these blankets are large, lightweight, and very warm.
I not only take it out with me, but I also keep it draped over me while working at my desk right now.
The long fringe is cute, so just draping it over your shoulders makes a statement, but basically, you pinch the corners diagonally to form a triangle and then wear it.
Since it's not a perfect square, the key is that the bottom peak shifts.
This creates a nice, casual look.
Also, the fact that it doesn't slip easily is a good point.
Even if you drape it over your shoulders unevenly and quickly swing the longer side to your back, it won't easily shift.
If you put the part that's swung to the back down, it becomes even less likely to slip.
When cycling or in other situations where you absolutely don't want it to slip, tie it.
It's also warm if you tie it around your waist when your lower body feels cold.
The weather forecast predicts cold temperatures for the New Year's holiday period as well.
Please stay warm and take care to minimize strain on your body.
This might be my last blog post of the year, so I'd like to extend my greetings.
Thank you for your support throughout the year.
Thank you so much for visiting our website and blog.
I sincerely wish you all a happy New Year.
