〜WEST also has free stock〜

Good evening. This is Uemura from WEST.

Today, I'd like to introduce The 2Monkeys' masterpiece,

the French Work Blouse.

The 2 Monkeys French Work Blouse【TM02454】

With seven pleats, this is a very elaborate piece.

Even JELADO's

"406XX" and "407EXX" only have

two pleats, so this detail

is so intricate that three factories refused to make it…

I think you can understand the dedication

just from the fact that it has seven pleats…

And this is not a jacket,

but a jacket-style blouse, so the buttonholes

are vertical, not horizontal.

This is why this product is called a "Blouse".

Gathers are used on the cuffs, back yoke, and waistband,

giving it a French feel.

Gathers are also included in the back yoke,

meaning a considerable amount of fabric is used for the back.

* Although the price of linen is soaring,

using such a large amount of fabric would increase the price,

but I believe the silhouette of this blouse is well-balanced

by the gathers in the back yoke.

A cinch back is attached above the waistband,

and gathers can be seen on the waistband as well.

We have L and XL sizes of the very popular "French Work Blouse"

in stock at the WEST store.

Please come and try it on at the store.

Thank you.

〜USMC M44 Monkey Pants〜

【Pre-order item, arriving early March】Monkey Trousers【CT11344】

Speaking of USMC M44 Monkey Pants,

they were trousers issued to the Marine Corps,

and are popular vintage items known as "Monkey Pants."

The origin of their name is as follows…

Large, horizontal cargo pockets with flaps.

These large pockets were designed to hold ponchos,

and the flaps were added to prevent items from falling out.

These pockets resemble a monkey's backside,

hence the name "Monkey Pants."

The M44's production period was actually

very short, lasting only "1 year and 3 months,"

from July 1944 to around October 1945.

Also, because they were issued to the

"elite few" US Marines,

the overall production volume was low, making them

quite valuable in the vintage market.

The periods when the US Marine Corps actually wore them include:

・Battle of Iwo Jima (February 19 - March 26, 1945)

・Around the Battle of Okinawa (March 26 - September 7, 1945).

And after World War II,

・Korean War (June 25, 1950 - July 27, 1953)

They seem to have been worn extensively during these times.

JELADO's Monkey Pants use herringbone material.

Furthermore, they are dyed with vat dyes.

The buttons are donut buttons,

also adding to the vintage feel.

By wearing them regularly, you can enjoy the

aging process.

With a native pattern half-length coat or

leather jacket... and also,

They pair very well with coveralls, too.

I also recommend pairing them with a chambray shirt.

Please make a reservation online or in-store.

Thank you.

～Regarding hemming services for items brought in～

Both JELADO stores used to offer hemming services for "denim from other brands"

if you brought them to the store. However, with the increase in hemming requests for items purchased in-store or online,

we are currently unable to accommodate "hemming services for other brands brought in." We apologize for any inconvenience.

・For "JELADO products purchased from our dealers" that you are wearing,
