Dear blog readers
Hello. This is Kamata from FLAGSHIP STORE.
This term's theme is "Battle of Burma". A historic battle that involved many countries later in the battle over British Burma and India.
This time, we will be introducing items that go along with that theme.
LEATHER GURKHA SANDAL
Item No : 80460062000
Color: Black / Brown
Size: S/M/L
It's the perfect item for the coming summer.
ここ近年、巷でも見かける数が増えてきたこの ”GURKHA SANDAL”。
意外と歴史は長く、MILITARYと関係の深いものだったのです。

The beginning is the 19th century. It was issued to a mercenary unit organized to protect the interests of the East India Company.
The name of the mercenary unit is the Gurkhas. Their base is West Bengal, India.
As the name suggests, these shoes were born from the name of the tribe.
皆様がご想像する通り、インドは温暖な気候で国の多くを砂漠地帯が占めています。
戦闘部隊でない限り当然堅固なブーツはいりません。蒸れずに通気性の配慮の為、BODY全体が編んでいる仕様に。
Since you can easily imagine walking for a long time, buckles are installed on the ankles to increase the holding power.
And the uniqueness of the design makes it highly fashionable and is still popular today.

一般的に親しまれているGURKHA SANDALでもNigel Cabournは差別化を図っています。
The leather used for this product is "Tochigi LEATHER".
I'm sure you've heard this before, but let me give you a brief introduction.
~ About Tochigi LEATHER ~
Founded in 1937. In order to bring out the original texture of leather, there is no compromise in the "tanning" process, and 20 manufacturing processes are performed by skilled craftsmen, and only those that have been cleared are commercialized by Japan's leading LEATHER Maker.
Tanning uses full vegetable tannins. Considering the environment, naturally derived inorganic substances are used. It is characterized by the fact that the oil contained in the original leather comes out as it is used, and the color and luster increases and the taste becomes deeper.
また、使用しているLEATHERは適度な厚さのため、蒸れも無く非常に軽やかです。
足をホールドするバックル部分は、ダール加工を採用。
銅素材の表面に薬品で化学反応を起こし、渋みのある黒色の皮膜を付けこんだ手法で、段々と下地の銅色が浮かび出てくる良さが特徴です。
The craftsman who applied this paint is said to have been entrusted with the painting of trophies for famous sports competitions.
ソールは、安定のビブラム社製を使用。
MILITARY BOOTSにも深く信頼を置かれるビブラム社のソールは、優れた耐久性とクッション性を誇り、消耗が激しいSANDALに落とし込む事で長く愛用できるのが嬉しいポイント。

Kamata wearing Size: S (ordinary shoes 26.5 cm to 27.5 cm)
Anyway, it's very comfortable to wear.
I personally liked it and bought it, but even if I walked all day, I didn't get blisters and my feet felt light and tired.
I would be happy if you could refer to it because it is a personal opinion to the last.
Wearing size now: L (ordinary shoes 29 cm to 30 cm)
I have it worn now.
According to him, it was just the right size and comfortable to wear. There seemed to be an infinite number of shoes that fit my size due to the problem of width, so I was excited.
ちなみにblackは、茶シンを採用しています。経年変化で下地が抜け非常に雰囲気のある面構えに進化していきます。
今のようにシンプルに軍パンと合わせてもらうのが映えるかと思います。

今では、ファッションとして馴染みのある存在となったGURKHA SANDALですが、 ルーツを紐解いていくと意外と歴史が詰まっているのが魅力ですね。MILITARY Fashionの確立に一役買った存在のひとつがこのアイテムだと思います。
