Hey everyone! It’s Chan-Mai!
With the rain continuing, it feels like the temperatures and the scorching summer sun have finally started to settle down.

I had such an amazing summer this year that I’m feeling a little sad about the cooling weather...

Let’s enjoy this autumn just as much as we enjoyed the summer! 🌞
To kick off the start of the season, let’s get fired up with this event! 🐅

TORAYA EQUIPMENT POPUP STORE

The TORAYA EQUIPMENT POPUP STORE is finally coming up this weekend.
Once again, it will be held at both our Nagoya and Tokyo locations!

And regarding the custom line of Oval Wide Pants I mentioned casually earlier—I'm sure the ecru pants we released at this year’s Mori, Michi, Ichiba market are still fresh in your memory.

The 100% cotton fabric has a natural texture that looks and feels incredible. These are literally pants you can wear hard and often, and they’ve earned a spot in my regular rotation. Plus, the high-density "horse cloth" (bafu) fabric is durable and breathable, which I've confirmed works great across a wide range of seasons. 👌

For this round, we ordered this favorite fabric in a different color: "Charcoal." It’s a chic shade that differs from the ecru, but still pairs perfectly with the natural expression of the fabric.

What we're selling this time is the solid color version.
The splash paint version is a special spec we had made. If you’re dead set on the splash version, make sure to read this blog all the way to the end.

The hem drawcord, which has become a staple for Circles-exclusive items, is included again this time, of course.
It’s obviously useful for cinching the hems while riding, but I personally love that you can enjoy changing the silhouette. The waist belt is also smooth and allows for one-touch tightening and loosening.

The previous ecru color had the downside of being easy to stain. This time, I chose this color because I want you to be able to wear them hard—whether you're riding or working—and treat them like real tools.

It’s great!
Actually, I think they might look even cooler once they get dirty.
If your splash paint pants get a bit of mud or oil on them, isn't that just part of the design?

In-Store Only! Paint Workshop 🎨

Also, during the POPUP STORE, we’ll be holding a splash paint workshop on the 2nd floor of Circles! 🫟
You get to pick your favorite colors and do the painting yourself! It takes some time for the paint to dry, so please make sure to give yourself plenty of time when you visit.
