Ponytail Journal

Tucked away in Tokyo’s Shibuya district, a magnetic area for some of the world’s greatest retail experiences is Brycelands and Co., an anchorage for men’s fine tailoring and furnishings. Like any good providor, Bryceland’s & Co. wares are carefully groomed and altered by their dedicated employees who pour love and dedication into their wares. Take a look into their world with us

Let this be some inspiration for you to play with your existing wardrobe with a new pair of eyes. You may find a new space where new, old, classic, and niche can make friends in a very cultivated way.

Setsubun, the day before the first of Spring on the Japanese calendar falls on the 3rd of February, this Friday. We are pleased to be celebrating the cleansing of evil from the previous year (very much needed, thanks 2016) with a new drop of Spring Summer looks to get your appetite wet for goodness to come this year.

On the radar this week, we are zooming into our friends at Heddels who produced a tasty studio visit to FDMTL in Tokyo. It’s interesting to watch indigo sprout, bloom, blossom, and start to decay throughout the world as we find ourselves meditating on workwear taking strides and lengths of time through a harsh trend-based landscape.

Get to know Nigel Cabourn Woman designer Emilie Casiez, the newest addition to the family and an unbreakable Parisian who has her eyes wide open to the wonders of our sensory Universe, past and present.

Our friend Nigel Cabourn’s favourite summer hang out in Japan is only a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from Tokyo, where the echo of cicada calls in the city are swept away with the fresh sea air on the coast. We took a local train out to the volcanic sand covered beaches of Hayama to discover the colourful seaside culture that wonderfully describes the eclectic patchwork of Japanese summer culture. It’s full of bamboo, Hawaiian prints, kayaking, and banana juice spiked with Malibu.

So yes, the capsule collaboration between Nigel Cabourn and Japanese retail mountain Journal Standard is no new news but that’s not why we’re here. We’re here because our buddy Nigel himself is taking you on a tour through ’The Drawing Room’ and all the tiny details that make it so great.

This week I sat down to dinner with Mihara Yasuhiro to talk about his winter 2016 collection Paris mens fashion week this month. It was a very tasty affair indeed.

A splash of fun for your eyeballs. We show you every look from the latest Nigel Cabourn WOMAN AW15 runway show in Tokyo, featuring the newest member to the Authentic family, the Antarctic Parka.

Mixing new and old has always been the PTJ game. We take you to ball practice in Tokyo’s Yoyogi park with some PTJ Pals + Nike to throw down a mixtape of today’s modern classics in sportswear.
