Dedicated to all the runaway boys on the planet in the summer of 2016.
50’s, London, Rock’n’Roll / Rockabilly and Punk.
Sent to all the Real Level Tribes under the influence of these influences, who are tearing into the absurdity of the modern age,
The finest summer wear from 1%13.
It is the symbol of London’s glittering early-mid 80’s, the ” 80’s / 50’s ” ( Eighty / Fifty ),
It’s the most exotic style of the summer, throwing the “80’s / 50’s” (80’s / 50’s), the symbol of the early-mid 80’s, at you from the outside!
The underground music culture of the British Empire that sublimated the style of the 50’s into a modern style and pushed it into the overground.
Based on the 80’s / 50’s that this mighty energy created,
In 2016, 1%13 has been reconstituted with a more minimalist and stylish appearance,
The new model of 1%13 is an assassin from Another Side, consciously transmitting its music to the world.
This action/challenge will turn into “PUNK”.
The rayon shirts are silky and terry.
The shirt is the most suitable shirt for Japanese summers, which are becoming hotter and hotter due to global warming.
The reason why such a comfortable fabric is not widely used in Japanese daily life is probably due to stereotypes and the fact that it is not suitable for amateurs to handle,
However, punk/rock ‘n’ rollers are willing to take such risks and head out with a cool face.
A little bit of wear and tear is just fine for a man.
The 1%13 rayon shirt presented here was produced with the cooperation of FUUDOBRAIN in 2010.
This is the first time in 5 years since the release of the “Black Shirt / 1%13 Rayon Shirt” produced in cooperation with FUUDOBRAIN in 2010.
The shirts were worn daily for five seasons (from early summer to fall every year), and were thoroughly analyzed for comfort, usability, and the fabric’s change over time,
The result is a material and form based on original research that is not influenced by the times or trends.
The conclusion was that the ultimate ultra-standard had already been completed five years before any major changes were necessary.
And now, as a new direction, we have added the color “London 1984” based on the previous ultra-tight concept.
The new direction is the legendary “Kensington Market” style, based on the previous ultra-tight concept, but with the added color of “London 1984″.
Now, meditate and imagine.
Set the scale of your time machine to the year 1984 in London, 30 years ago, and teleport!
London, 1984.
It has been almost seven years since the outbreak of punk, yet its effects are still being felt everywhere.
The teds mods,psychedelic,hippy,gareage,punk,gossic,new romantic,gay,lesbian,drag queen,etc, etc…,
Cutting edge cultures are born, mingle and evolve further.
In the midst of all this, Kensington Market, which has had a store on London’s High Street Kensington since the late 1960s, has been a place for rock and roll troupes of all kinds to meet, mingle, and mingle,
Kensington Market” has been an important information center for the rock ‘n’ roll tribe and has continued to transmit its strong ideas.
It is the place where the emergence of a vibrant, innovative and cutting-edge youth culture resides, is concentrated and activated.
In 1984, London’s post-punk “anything goes” feeling was accelerating and becoming more “hardcore.
More radical, more original, each person was passionate about his or her own expression, and the process of trial and error was underway. 、、、、、、
Open your eyes. Now, in front of you is the “Kensington Market”,
Two shirts that were probably sold in 50’s stores and thrift stores have been revived with modern ideas and techniques,
They are about to emerge as new possibilities and clues, as symbols of an almost lost assertiveness, and as rock ‘n’ roll wear at its best.
＜The 1%13 Diamond Patch Shirts
The same as above, this shirt is based on the image of a shirt found in a vintage clothing store in Kensington Market and a 50’s store in London.
I have a different feeling about this one. 、、、、、、
The time is 1983, and “PRE – TAKACHO” who landed in Minokamo again is 14 years old.
It was the time when I was still into 50’s, and I was a kid who knew only anarchy, Stalin, and Sex Pistols as punks.
One Sunday afternoon shortly after moving here, I was looking for something interesting to do,
One Sunday afternoon, shortly after I moved here, I was exploring Manba-dori, a shopping street in front of Ota Station in Minokamo City, when a men’s clothing store caught my eye.
The name of the store was “Tailor Fujikichi,” which later became the home of my junior and senior high school classmate, Kasumi Fujikichi.
It was just an ordinary men’s clothing shop, but it did not have any outrageous or delinquent clothing,
I was somewhat curious, so I took a peek inside and saw a “diamond patch shirt” on a torso in front of a rack of Y-shirts!
“Gifu is Minokamo, so of course they don’t sell cream soda,
(Strictly speaking, there was an acolyte student clothing store that sold small quantities of the stuff they bought in Harajuku with 10-20% of the price added on).
) Peppermint is only a 40-minute train ride to Gifu City.
And before that, I did not have enough money to pay for the train fare to Gifu City and back.
And yet, there in front of me was a black diamond patch shirt that looked like a “Cream Soda imitation”!
I looked at the price tag and saw that it was priced at 2,300 yen! That’s a steal! I had 2,500 yen in my pocket.
If I spent it, I would be stuck for the next three weeks,
I grew up in a poor family where my grandfather’s motorcycle parts factory went bankrupt due to the oil crisis, and I lost my house, land, and all my possessions,
I was always broke and even 500 yen was expensive.
Of course, I was too far away from buying food and going to the arcade. I wanted to go, but I couldn’t. 、、、、、、、
I didn’t care! I have to buy it! No, I want it! Without hesitation, I spent all the money I had and got a Diamond Patch shirt.
And that shirt became the one and only clothing for the poor boy.
After that, after being immersed in the 50’s, I gradually became a punk due to my living environment and puberty,
In 1984, when the psychobilly wave reached Minokamo, the sode was cut off, and he wore it until 1988.
However, because it was originally a grandchild copy (50’s – London – Harajuku – Minokamo),
The fabric was so deteriorated that it ripped in an unbelievable direction from the sides to the back, and the shirt lived out its natural life as a shirt.
Even so, I sewed and repaired it and wore it,
Unfortunately, it disappeared from my life when I was over 20 years old. 、、、、、、、、
I have such a strong attachment to the shirt, the fact that I have worn it for a long time, and my experience and learning up to the present day,
I am convinced that this design deserves to be released as 1%13 in the 21st century, just like the V-patch shirt, and hereby release it.
The material is 100% rayon, the same as the V-patch shirt. We are releasing this shirt with confidence as the most comfortable material for summer.
Those who have worn Aloha shirts or bowling shirts will understand,
We are pleased to report once again that it is a wonderfully comfortable material.
The buttons are made of “natural black butterfly shells” in contrast to the V-patch shirts, and the black and white image of hardcore punk is concentrated here,
The black-and-white image of hardcore punk is concentrated here, and is discharged as a hidden message to the next generation.
It is a mechanism that makes the shirts exotic, classical, and fun to wear.
Reason and will are always present in the details of 1%13.
The pattern for the diamond patches was chosen after considering all possible color schemes/arrangements, precedents, and imagery.
Standard and superb: sax, yellow, and red.
The selection was based on the “London traffic lights” familiar to the Tonnap Boys.
The fabric is cotton. The difference in material between cotton and rayon gives it a three-dimensional effect.
The same color stitching is placed under the diamond patch to express an atomic feeling.

Kensington Market was a permanent indoor market located at 49 Highstreet Kensington, about a five-minute walk east from High Street Kensington station in central London.
It was a permanent indoor market located at 49 Highstreet Kensington, about a five-minute walk east of High Street Kensington station in central London.
It was open until 6:00 p.m., while many stores at that time closed at 5:00 p.m.
It was closed on Sundays and holidays, but it was a great place to stop by on the way home from sightseeing almost every day.
It started as a general market for hippies and bohemians in the 1960s,
In the 70’s, it was the place to see Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor before their success as Queen, and in the 80’s, it was the place to see Jig Jig Spatial,
In the 70’s, Freddie Mercury and Roger Taylor, before they became Queen, and in the 80’s, members of Jig Jig Spatnik worked at the store (PURE-SEX).
In Japan, the shop was featured in the “London Special” of the monthly Takarajima magazine in 1983, and in the “London Special” of the monthly Shinko Music magazine in 1985,
In Japan, the shop was introduced in the “London Special” of the monthly magazine Takarajima in 1983 and in “I want to go to London (revised edition)” written by Haruko Mizukami of Shinko Music.
The brand was introduced in “London Special” of monthly magazine “Takarajima” in 1983 and “I want to go to London (revised edition)” by Shinko Music/Haruko Mizukami, and began to be recognized.
The store is a mix of high-fashion stores, which is unbelievable for a permanent complex,
It was the best place to get the latest culture and information. 、、、、、、
The Kensington Market was also a place where the passion of the kids could be felt,
The market was slowly swallowed up by the waves of the times and suddenly lost its power at the end of the 1990s.
It was really painful to see the place of my dreams, which I used to visit every year, lose its vitality.
The places where there was always something to do there gradually closed their doors,
The vacant spaces were replaced by Indian goods and souvenir shops, and the place completely lost its vitality.
With the millennium approaching, urban development in London drove up land prices,
The reason for this was that the urban development of London was driving up land prices and landowners were selling their land.
I remember asking the shopkeeper if there was any way to get rid of the land, and he told me that the price was outrageously high.
I later found out that it was ￡50,000,000,000 (about ¥8 billion at the May 2016 exchange rate/about ¥160), a staggering sum.
There was nothing we could do. There was nothing I could do but to wait and see what the future would bring. 、、、、
In 2000, after opening CHELSEA, I was in a bad financial situation,
I sold some of my personal property, took what little money I had, and headed back to England to visit Kensington Market.
I was relieved to see the unchanged appearance, but the store was dimly lit and the atmosphere was definitely different from last year.
I rushed up the stairs to Johnsons.
The entrance, familiar to those of us who have dabbled in London for a while, was barely there.
The interior of the store was 、、、、 already closed.
How is this possible? I was absolutely mortified.
There was no food bar, no hair salon, no second-hand clothing store. There were only unimportant ethnic goods and souvenir shops.
And a few hip hop and American casual stores that were late to the party.
As I was exploring the store, accepting my despair, I found a record store on the first floor that was open for business.
Without any record hunting, I asked the clerk a series of questions.
“What has happened to Kensington Market? What’s going to happen to it now? ” she replied sadly.
She then told me the definitive words.
“Kensington Market closes next week. 、、、、
“GUTTEM! Are you serious?
After a moment of stupefaction, she called out to me.
“I think a lot of stores are going to Camden and Spitalfields, don’t worry.
But I’m actually going to miss you. 、、、、、”
Kensington Market, where I went every day when I came to England.
It was also the first place I went on my first day in London when I arrived soaking wet from the cold rain.
Many memories flooded my mind. The history, the glory, the decline, and the end.
As I came to the end of my stay, I went to Kensington Market every day. 、、、、、
The last day of my stay was March 13, 14, or 15, 2000.
Most of the stores had already started clearing out early and there was little to buy.
I walked the floor of the Kensington Market for the last time, biting my teeth at the reality of the situation.
It was almost 6 p.m., and it was time to go.
Nothing much had changed at the closing time. Wouldn’t they be doing the same thing tomorrow?
The ending even gave me such an illusion.
After some light shopping and a few last moments, I left Kensington Market. 、、、、
The next day, I wondered if the market would be open. I went to High Street Kensington at the opening time with a faint hope that the market would not be open the next day.
The doors were closed. There I stood, still not understanding this reality.
I got myself together, explored the city, and headed back to High Street Kensington in the evening.
But the door was still closed.
I went to Kensington Market many more times in the evening for the rest of the day,
History remained silent and still. 、、、、
Kensington Market was closed.
It started with the hippie and bohemian culture of the 60’s and spread to punk, house, hip-hop, and culture.
The place where cutting-edge cultures intersected quietly came to an end at the beginning of the 21st century, just as it was about to change dramatically.
I was the last Japanese to witness the end of Kensington Market.
The place was abandoned for a few years without a buyer,
Now a computer company called PC WORLD has rebuilt the building and is running it.
PC WORLD is not to blame, but every time I go to the UK, I spit in front of this building.
And the now-defunct “blue jacket with jiggle spa tonic” that many people have seen in BURST magazine,
On my first day in London, I ran up to the hotel just after checking in,
It was a blue leather jacket I got from a thrift shop in Kensington Market. 、、、、、
Everything changes with the times.
However, 1%13 will continue to present a new message with its own unique inheritance of the truth that will never fade away.
Fuck Trend, Fuck Nostalgia, Fuck Heat Wave, and Fuck 40th Anniversary of punk !
TAKACHO LONDON
In incorporating this history and culture into the shirts,
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to “Masumin” and “BLACK BOOTS/Iwamae” for their generous efforts in incorporating this history and culture into the shirts.
