"The one and only addictive pants" Tomcat♪

“唯一無二の病みつきパンツ” トムキャット♪
Spring is here, with professional baseball exhibition games starting and the high school selection tournament soon to begin at Koshien, giving us the feeling that baseball season is upon us!
I wasn't a high school baseball player, but I looked up players I was interested in.
Find your favorite minor player and cheer them on.
I'm only an amateur, but I love baseball so I look forward to the season starting every year.
Although the current situation is difficult due to the effects of COVID-19, I hope that both high school students and professionals will dazzle us with their heartfelt play.

Spring is heating up here too! Spring is exciting at Tomcat!
The "one and only addictive pants" that have been worn by many people for the longest time among melple's products.

Tomcat One Tuck Relax Pants

We haven't really introduced it in SLOW TEMPO yet, so we'd like to explain it again in detail♪
Going back seven years, these addictive pants were released in March 2014.
At the time, there were no trouser-style pants made of this material for men anywhere.
Orders from buyers across the country were also extremely small (laughs).

Around 2014, however, I really liked them and wore them in heavy rotation.
Everyone I met said that the pants looked really great, and they gradually became popular.


In 2015, they were featured in various media outlets and became an instant hit!





The response to this article in Begin was particularly impressive.
We worked with the factory to set up production, but the impact was so great that we couldn't keep up with production (laughs).

Since then, he has been extremely active every year from spring until around October.
In baseball terms, he's the ace and number 4! He's like Ohtani-kun to melple ♪



These pants were designed for use not only in the city but also for golf, hiking and other activities, so I wore them in a variety of fields.



In 2017, the sporty setup style attracted a lot of attention and was in high demand.

The 2019Tomcat Club Jacket and Club Pants , with an American traditional feel, have also been released.



Last year in 2020, we received unexpected positive feedback from people who were working from home, saying that they could now hold remote meetings at any time!
I can't be happy about it, and to be honest, I would like the need to be met quickly so that I can wear it in a variety of different fields.

Since ancient times, various styles have been created in fashion with an emphasis on "TPO".
Time
Place
Occasion
Choosing an outfit that suits the time, place, and atmosphere of the occasion is both fun and an important element.
However, I think that recently the idea and need for borderless clothing that can be worn "anytime" and "anywhere" regardless of the time, place, and occasion is becoming the standard.
Tomcat is definitely a great choice for this borderless fashion.


The proprietary " Tomcat " material is a nylon-based material that stretches freely in all directions.


In addition to its amazing stretch, it's also wrinkle-resistant and, unlike cheap similar products, has very high kickback so your knees won't show.
In addition, it will not lose its shape even after repeated washing, and yet it has a smooth texture, is quick-drying, and has UV protection properties.




These pants are incredibly comfortable, stress-free, neat, sporty and smart, and are versatile.
Because of this, it is also famous for boasting an overwhelming repeat customer rate, with people who purchase one often buying another (in another color).


It is moderately tapered and has a cropped length with one tuck, creating a truly beautiful silhouette.
We are confident that you will understand the perfect silhouette that has been finely tuned once you try it on.


This season, two new colors have been added.



Not pure white, but a relaxed ecru color
My close friends had been telling me for a while that I should make a white Tomcat.
To be honest, I rarely wear white pants other than Levi's 519, so I was reluctant to make them.
However, I'm also feeling like wearing off-white pants this spring.
That's why I created these colors.
The top is " Palms Longsleeve "



The key point is that it matches the navy floral pattern of SALVAGE PUBLIC's new socks .
It's refreshing to wear the WHOLEGARMENT Guernsey Knit and a jacket in the same color to create a bold look.


The other color is a basic gray.


We've had charcoal gray available in the past, but this time it's a slightly lighter color.
This color is a faithful reproduction of the color of Brooks Brothers trousers, which I personally like, so you could say Brooks gray!

You can also pair it with a simple white top for a clean look.
It goes very well with the simple yet unique " Palms Longsleeve " ♪



You can also wear something like the Nazare Flannel Shirt unbuttoned over it in early spring.


On the other hand, the classic color I want to try again this spring is khaki.



This khaki color has its cycles for me, there are years when I want to wear it and years when I don’t (lol).
I don't know why, it's just a personal feeling.
And this year, I'm in a cycle where I really want to wear them!

I tried putting together an earthy color scheme.
The top is the " City Hunter Vest " and the " Garnet Longsleeve "
My feet are still a little cold, but I've paired them with my go-to sandals, the Birkenstock Zurich.


I'm sure you've all experienced many changes in the way you work and think between last year and this year.
I myself am also reexamining the things that need to be changed.
In these circumstances, I have come to realize once again that while there are some things that are good to change, there is also the importance of continuing steadily.

And this Tomcat has the same good quality and absolute security...
In that sense, I would like to continue to update my work little by little in the future.


We hope you will try these one-of-a-kind, addictive pants !
