Thank you for your continued patronage of Taylor with Respect.
We have updated this blog three times to introduce new models for AW24, but this will be the last.
Thank you so much to everyone who watched.
If this is your first time seeing them, we would also be delighted if you would take a look at our introduction to the new 2024 AW contour, nimbus and slick.
Now, the last model we'd like to introduce is called dude.
The designer also likes this model so much that he puts lenses in as soon as it is completed and wears it as his personal item.

First, the specs...
Model name: dude
Size: 55 □ 16-144
Top and bottom: 44.8mm
Material: Titanium / ꞵ Titanium
Color options: 5 colors
Retail price: ¥ 58,300 (tax included)
This series, commonly known as "Alterna" within the brand team, was launched in AW 2023.
It has a distinctive nerdy atmosphere that has a hint of the Showa era .
The front is integrated with the bridge for increased strength, so you can use it with confidence .
The name is a homage to the movie "The Big Lebowski."
Two types of Two-Brie will be released this fall.
The launch of two new styles out of four makes this the most unique season ever, but this is possible because the brand has deliberately expanded its collection to include shapes and sizes that are easy to use.
It is only by having a solid base of classics that it is possible to present unique items (items that strongly reflect the designer's taste).
This particular dude model is quite unique, and when it was finished the Taylor team were so excited they could not help but laugh.
The result is a frame that evokes a time travel experience.
The only thing I need to tell you is,
"The appearance is almost the same as that of glasses from decades ago, but the quality of the construction, adjustment range, and comfort of the glasses as a tool have evolved so much that it is incomparable to the time."
This model will join the TAYLOR WITH RESPECT collection as an important addition.
As for the construction, I've already talked about the notable things about it in the Slick tailoring newsletter , so there's not much more to write about...
The front end, which is now the brand's specialty and is made of one piece of titanium without any soldering, was extremely difficult to reproduce with a two-wheel drive.
Is this the first time in the world that a two-wheeler has been made without any soldering, excluding sheet metal, etc.? (If so, please let me know.)
Speaking of world firsts, we are undoubtedly announcing a world first in color.
"Hammered Color"
The texture of the hammered is expressed using electroplating.
It will be unveiled for the first time in col.05 Hammamed Silver at slick and col.05 Hammamed White Gold at dude.
Both have a clear coat on the surface, giving them a unique glossy finish.
For more details, please see the tailoring newsletter, which will be released at a later date.

How about this: dude.
When I looked up the model names, I found a lot of strong words like "you," "guy," and "man."
It's not a design that will appeal to everyone, but I hope it reaches people who understand and appreciate its background.
