When you enter Shops, you should definitely check out the "B-grade, sample" corner, where you can find great deals. You can buy almost new items at bargain prices, such as prototypes and B-grade items with invisible scratches, so you can't miss this!

"We have a 'B-grade and sample items' corner that we do have on an irregular basis, but we do have one that we do have on a fairly regular basis. In November, we'll have a big sale on brand outerwear, with items at 90% off and discontinued items that are no longer available. We'll be introducing some outfits that mainly feature recommended outerwear from the B-grade and sample items corner, although it's only a small selection." (Ogawa)

Representing American casual style
Schott 's Cowichan is the main character

The first item we picked up was a Cowichan jacket from Schott, a long-established fashion brand founded in New York in 1913. The thick, sturdy knit fabric is extremely warm.
"It features a reindeer pattern that is typical of Schott. The lining is densely lined with boa, so it's warm, and it's also lightweight and comfortable to wear. It goes great with classic pants like denim and chinos!" (Ogawa)

Wearing the brand's style
High-quality mouton

This jacket from Schott was also a bargain we found in the sample corner. It's a luxurious piece that would retail for around 100,000 yen.
"The fact that it's made entirely in America makes it a rare and valuable jacket. The outer surface is made of smooth suede and the lining is made of thick fleece, making it a reliable piece for the cold season. It has excellent heat retention and is warm, so even a casual T-shirt underneath is sufficient." (Ogawa)

Schott Men's 's coats
A dignified and handsome appearance

Schott coats are oversized and in line with the latest trends, making them easy for women to wear.
"It's a loose long coat that flares out slightly towards the hem. It has a refined and elegant design, so I recommend pairing it with overalls for a casual look." (Ogawa)
