Check, wool, corduroy.

The key is a "perfect balance." Choosing a hoodie that adults can wear comfortably
"Hoodie" is an item loved by all generations, regardless of age or gender. At its core lies a comfortable fit, the versatility of being able to throw it on or pull up the hood when it gets a little chilly, and the enormous trust we've placed in this staple item ever since we were children. This time, we'd like to talk about that very "hoodie."
Ready to wear from day one, molding comfortably to your feet. Classic loafers that reflect the history of fashion.
Loafers tend to bring to mind the shoes students wear on their way to school. And because they're made of leather, you might also think of them as somewhat formal or stiff. But if you trace their origins back, you'll find that loafers were actually designed to be shoes people could slip on easily and casually in their everyday lives. Here, we introduce the background of loafers, a style now loved by people all over the world.
Lightness and ease of use are the key points. If you're choosing a wooden plate to use morning, noon, and night, here's what to look for.
Everyone dreams of a stylish table setting, but let's be honest—hardly anyone has the energy to put real effort into every single meal, morning, noon, and night, 365 days a year. Now that mornings are starting to turn cool, it's easy to linger a little too long under the covers, and before you know it, there's no time left to properly prepare breakfast. That's exactly when having just one easy-to-use wooden plate on hand makes all the difference—letting you enjoy your toast looking stylish, and staying perfectly crisp and delicious.
A bag to carry from autumn onward—an accent-color piece that brightens up your coat too. Enjoy the season through color.
As the seasons change and you pull your autumn clothes and coats out of the closet, you might notice they're mostly dark colors... That's when a colorful accent bag comes in handy. Just one point of color can transform an outfit that tends to feel heavy into something bright and stylish. This time, we're introducing bags in just such colors. Get one now, and it's sure to serve you well right through the depths of winter coat season.
Discover It Through Our Staff's List of Favorite Brands: The Joy of Using, the Reasons We Keep Using
In our everyday lives, there's always a reason behind the things we reach for without thinking, or the things that make us feel, "this and nothing else will do." Through the brands and everyday items that ZUTTO staff members use and love, we explore the appeal of things we rediscover simply by continuing to use them.
Your First Katsuobushi (Dried Bonito Flakes) Shaver: How Do You Use It?
Not so long ago, nearly every household had a katsuobushi shaver. These days, most people probably use pre-packaged, pre-shaved bonito flakes instead—but have you ever tried katsuobushi that's been freshly shaved? This time, we'll show you how to actually use an artisan-made katsuobushi shaver, and share what freshly shaved katsuobushi really tastes like.
# Is Solid Wood Hard to Use? A Report on Life with a ZUTTO-Style Magewappa
Yamaichi, a maker of wooden products using high-quality hinoki (Japanese cypress) and sawara (Japanese arborvitae) wood, has released a round magewappa (bentwood box). The ZUTTO staff, who usually use oval-shaped magewappa, have been happily experimenting with lunch-making, a little thrown off by the differences in material and shape compared to what they're used to. This time, we'll share a hands-on usage report from a staff member who got their hands on this magewappa, along with some tools worth adding to your lunch-making routine.
How to Use the Azumaya Juicer? A Versatile Everyday Tool for Juices, Dressings, and More
When you actually try using Azumaya's juicer, you'll notice how pleasant it is to use and how it expands the range of dishes you can make. The mound where you press the halved fruit is high and nicely rounded, and its grooves are surprisingly sharp for a porcelain piece, letting you squeeze out every last drop of juice without any hassle. Why not try making orange juice, lemon dressing, and more?
True Stories: Everyone's Compact Wallets — Seeking the Comfort That Awaits Once You Take the Leap
For anyone who's interested in a small wallet but has grown accustomed to a long wallet or one with lots of pockets, and just can't take the plunge: we spoke with four people who actually made the switch to a more compact wallet, asking how they use it day to day and whether there's anything about it they've had to put up with.
It's finally time to wear half pants again. Thinking about materials and styling made for grown-ups.
Japan is a country of four distinct seasons, where fashion changes to match the time of year. With August now in its second half, are you starting to grow tired of the same silhouette you've been wearing all summer? For these lingering days of late-summer heat, we'd like to introduce a comfortable half-pants coordinate. With summers growing longer every year, this is exactly the kind of fresh item worth adding to your wardrobe right now.
Shoes and bags that give your everyday outfit a sporty touch
Wearing something familiar puts us at ease and lets us feel like ourselves—these are our personal "wardrobe staples." But even when we're surrounded by such trusted pieces, there are times we want to shift the mood just a little. If your everyday style tends toward the casual, why not add a touch of femininity? If feminine pieces dominate your closet, why not try something more boyish? This time, we're taking on a "sporty" twist on everyday fashion, simply by adding shoes and a bag to the outfits you already wear.
Convenient Foldable Bags and Small Bags for Travel
