I suppose they are also off it (the hook that is), as the kids are saying nowadays. Sabit is a Japanese term meaning "the hook" or "best part of a song." It is also a Japanese clothing company that prescribes to the philosophy of Tanoshinde, meaning "enjoy," which basically means it's probably a pretty cool place to work. I learned all of that from their website (comes with an unstoppable dance groove- seriously, I can't turn it off). Before today the only Japanese I knew was what I learned on Heroes.

The designer behind the enjoyment is Shoichi Amemiya, previously of Marc Ecko, who classifies the line as "Japanese-influenced street couture."

What does that mean? Um, I'm not sure. I've never been on the streets of Japan. However, I know what I like and I like these workmanesque gingham button-down shirts from their At SUO Collection/Spring 2008. Between the contrasted pocket, patches and embroidery, the vibe is equal parts garage and pool hall. That adds up to a sweet shirt.
