【Yamatomichi】The perfect wear for a hot and humid summer

"Giving shape to the gear I’ve truly realized I need through my hiking experiences."

This sentiment is woven into every Yamatomichi product, and indeed, these products are highly functional and excellent as gear for heading out into the mountains.

Moreover, for us, who ride our bikes every day while sweating and commuting between our homes and various spots, these are items that can be integrated not only into our extraordinary outdoor adventures but also into our daily lives.

Yamatomichi products have many such fans, and every season, as soon as a variety of new products arrive, there are people coming by the store every day to try them on or purchase them, as if they had been waiting for this moment.

In the midst of this, we have received some special products perfect for the recent high humidity and increasing sweltering heat. We would like to introduce them to you and provide information on our current in-store stock.

A smooth, light, and breathable fabric

The Merino Short Sleeve Shirt is a short-sleeved shirt made from high-quality 100% merino wool fabric, designed to be worn anywhere from the mountains to the city. The thin weave, produced by a long-established Italian manufacturer, has a light and smooth texture you wouldn't expect from wool, and it is highly breathable, keeping you feeling cool even in the summer.

Naturally, it also possesses wool’s inherent properties of powerful, natural odor resistance and humidity regulation, offering excellent comfort even in situations where you might get drenched in sweat, such as during summer hikes or rides.

　

Simple, yet designed for ease of movement

It also uses snap buttons and a wide body, allowing for quick opening and ventilation. Additionally, darts in the back yoke allow for easy movement around the arms, and the front-to-back length difference with side slits helps keep the shirt from riding up when you're wearing a backpack.

　

Collar design to handle temperature fluctuations

By eliminating the collar stand, we've ensured that heat doesn't build up around the neck while active. Furthermore, the collar can be flipped up and buttoned, making it a shape that adapts to a wide range of temperatures.

An essential pair for a sweltering summer

5-Pocket Shorts Light are new shorts for this season.
Because they use the same Pertex Equilibrium fabric as the standard Light 5-Pocket Shorts, they are exceptionally thin and light—a perfect pair for Japan's sweltering summers.

　

The difference lies in length and the waist strap

You might wonder how 5-Pocket Shorts Light differ from Light 5-Pocket Shorts, and there is a clear distinction. While the Light 5-Pocket Shorts are based on the standard 5-Pocket Shorts and have a shorter length, the 5-Pocket Shorts Light are made with the exact same dimensions as the regular 5-Pocket Shorts. In the image, the Dark Grey pair is the Light 5-Pocket Shorts and the Coral pair is the 5-Pocket Shorts Light. Both are size M, but you can see that the Coral pair is longer. Numerically, they are 1.5 cm longer in total length and 1 cm longer in the inseam.

Also, as this model aims for even greater lightness, it uses a flat cord for waist adjustment.

While the Light 5-Pocket Shorts were well-received as a thin, lightweight pair for mid-summer, this model reflects user feedback asking for a slightly longer length. This has also turned out to be a very welcome feature for us cyclists who hop on saddles and pedal.

　

The calculated pocket placement that impresses everyone

And, one thing that shouldn't be overlooked in Yamatomichi’s 5-Pocket Shorts is this pocket. Because they are positioned in such an exquisite spot, they don't hinder your movement when squatting or sitting, even with a smartphone or similar items stored inside. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the biggest reason why Yamatomichi pants have so many fans.

Although this was originally a limited production model, it is our top-recommended product among all Yamatomichi pants at Circles this season, and we’ve made sure to keep enough stock because we want as many people as possible to experience wearing them.

That said, they are popular shorts, so please be aware that some sizes and colors may already be unavailable.

Comparing size S and M setups

Standing at 170cm and 60kg, I can wear either size S or M, but size S provides a "just right" fit, while size M offers a more relaxed feel. By the way, when wearing the size M Light 5-Pocket Shorts, the length is about the same as the size S 5-Pocket Shorts Light, so it would be similar to the image on the bottom left.
