Last Week's Top 5 Sales - Flagship Store
Thank you for always visiting our store.
As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, we've made some changes to the clothes on display in the store.
We've removed the heavy outerwear, but you can still purchase it online, so if you missed out, please check our online store.
Also, spring/summer items and short-sleeved items will be appearing in stores soon, so please wait a little longer.
Now, let's introduce the weekly Top 5, a regular Monday feature mentioned in the title.
Which items made it into the rankings this week?
First, number 5.
The 2 Monkeys Sportif Black Calf【TM72924】
Sportif ranks 5th.
Honestly, if we had more sizes available, it wouldn't be surprising if it ranked higher, as many people come to the store every day looking for Sportif.
Currently, US 7, 7.5, and 8 are in stock.
The next restock is still undecided, so if your size is available, please consider purchasing soon.
If you haven't tried them on yet, please come to the store and try them on; your impression of boots will change completely.
Next up is number 4.
JELADO 55Denim 313XX Denim Pants【JP94313】
These are wide straight 5-pocket denim pants made from the LASTRESORT series [white tag] denim.
Compared to the 301XX, they have a deeper rise and a more relaxed silhouette. Furthermore, because they use the LASTRESORT series [white tag], the fabric is soft, making them incredibly comfortable to wear.
Many people are looking for the basic straight 301XX, but since it's currently out of stock, many customers try on the 313XX and are attracted by the goodness of the wide straight fit, leading them to purchase it.
Due to the high demand, we currently only have W28 and W40 in stock.
For those who think W28 is too small, these are made larger than regular denim, so they will fit someone who usually wears a W30-31.
*A staff member who wears W31 in the [black tag] 301EXX wears W28 in the 313XX.
Please note that stock for the remaining sizes is limited.
Next up is number 3.
JELADO 55Denim Jacket 406XX 【JP94406】
This is also a 2nd type 55 denim jacket using the LASTRESORT series [white tag].
It was popular to purchase it as a set with the 313XX, but now single purchases are also increasing.
Many of you may be considering purchasing it along with the 301XX, but there is a high possibility that the denim jacket will sell out while you are waiting for it to be restocked.
If you are considering wearing it as a set, we recommend purchasing it now while all sizes are available.
Even if you wear them as a set, the denim will age faster, so if you start wearing the denim jacket first, the pants will catch up quickly.
Please consider it as soon as possible.
Next up is number 2.
JELADO Hubbell【CB02432】
The Hubbell Jacket, a highly anticipated item for 2024AW.
It could be worn over leather or denim in cold weather, but it can also be worn over shirts or thermals as a jacket in the coming season, so it will continue to be very useful.
JELADO releases Native American pattern items every year, but this Hubbell is being released for the first time in several years, and it's uncertain when it will be released again, so if you're interested, please consider it soon.
By the way, current stock includes XS, S, and XXL.
And now, this week's number one.
JELADO USMC Souvenir Jacket 【JP03408】
The souvenir jacket is still very popular.
It's a special piece, and some people who have seen the production process on Minamikawa Channel or JELADO Channel are interested and come to the store to purchase it.
While it's not an amount you can decide on immediately, it's a meticulously crafted piece that you'll want to cherish for a lifetime.
It's unusual for a souvenir jacket to have a collar, epaulets, cuffs, and adjusters, setting it apart from others.
Currently, M and L sizes are available, so please come and see it in store.
That concludes last week's Top 5.
Were any items you were interested in ranked?
Temperatures are changing, but popular items continue to sell well.
Movement of light outerwear is also expected to improve in the future, so we look forward to seeing you in store.

〜USMC M44 Monkey Pants〜
【Pre-order item, expected arrival early March】Monkey Trousers【CT11344】
Speaking of USMC M44 Monkey Pants,
these pants were issued to the Marine Corps,
and are known by the nickname "Monkey Pants,"
a popular item even in the vintage industry.
The origin of the name is...
Long, horizontal cargo pockets with flaps.
These large pockets were designed to hold a 'poncho',
and the flaps were adopted to prevent the contents from falling out.
These pockets resemble a monkey's buttocks,
hence the name "Monkey Pants."
The production period of the M44 was surprisingly short,
lasting only 'one year and three months,'
from July 1944 to around October 1945.
Furthermore, because they were issued to the 'elite few'
United States Marine Corps, the overall production quantity was low,
resulting in them being traded at very high prices in the vintage market.
The period during which the U.S. Marine Corps
actually wore them was...
・Battle of Iwo Jima (Feb. 19 - Mar. 26, 1945)
・Around the Battle of Okinawa (Mar. 26 - Sep. 7, 1945).
Also, after World War II,
・Korean War (Jun. 25, 1950 - Jul. 27, 1953)
They seem to have been worn extensively during these periods.
Jelado's Monkey Pants use herringbone as the material.
Furthermore, they are dyed with vat dye.
And the buttons are doughnut buttons,
which also creates a vintage look.
By wearing them regularly,
you can enjoy the aging process.
Half-length coats with Native American patterns,
leather jackets... and even,
They go very well with coveralls, etc.
We also recommend pairing them with a chambray shirt.
Please make a reservation at the store or online.
Thank you.
～JELADO Staff Coordinates～
As a new initiative,
you can now view staff coordinates
online.
We hope you'll find each staff member's styling
helpful as a reference.
Thank you.
～Official LINE Account～
JELADO uses Instagram, BLOGs, etc. to
send out information to our customers,
but we have also newly opened an official LINE account.
We send out information to many customers on both platforms,
so if you haven't 'added us as a friend' yet,
please do so. We look forward to it.
～Also featured on Tonono Denim's channel～
Tonono-san and Shoji-san's YouTube channel
"Tonono Denim" introduced the blue tag series.
Please check out this video as well.

～Regarding bringing in items for hemming～
Both JELADO stores accept hemming services for 'other brands of denim' if you bring them to the store.
However, hemming requests for in-store and online purchases have increased, so
Please note that we currently do not offer "hemming services for other brands brought in by customers."
・Hemming services for "JELADO products purchased at a dealer" will be subject to a fee.
*We will continue to provide hemming services for JELADO products purchased directly from JELADO, as before.
