There were unexpectedly many inquiries…(scared me). That is my goal for next year, so I will take plenty of time to proceed. Hope you understand.

First, thanks for the denim hunter Brit Eaton and Mr.Mitsuhiro Aota who wrote “Who made 501XX?” Brit's jeans and Mr. Aota's information became my breakthrough. And, Singer No.2. For some reason I have it in my studio in Bangkok.

Law of attraction. Go with the flow.

意外にたくさんの問い合わせがあり、汗。
これは来年の目標なのでたっぷりと時間をかけて進みます。悪しからず。

まずデニムハンター Brit Eaton、501XXは誰が作ったのか? 著青田充弘さんに感謝。Britのジーンズ、青田さんの情報がブレークスルーとなった。

そしてSinger No.2、なぜか持っていてバンコクのスタジオにあるんだ。

引き寄せの法則。
流れる風に乗って。

I still need to sew the denims, so I'll see you next time.　* PS. As I posted on Instagram, I will release 501 from 1900s in coming Spring…ish. Maybe…
　デニムまだまだ縫わないといけないので、また今度。*PS インスタしたように1900年頃の501を春ぐらいにリリースします。多分。。。
