    <description><![CDATA[Merino wool has a reputation for being difficult to care for, and some of that reputation is earned. Wash it wrong once and a sweater that cost ¥30,000 can come out of the machine the size of a child's garment. But the rules are simple and, once understood, easy to follow. This is a short guide to washing merino at home without incident.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Vegetable-tanned leather behaves differently from chrome-tanned leather in almost every respect. It arrives pale and stiff, it darkens and softens with use, and it develops a surface character over years that chrome-tanned leather does not. If you have bought a vegetable-tanned belt or bag and are not sure what to expect, this is a short account of what the material does and how to help it along.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Cold, dry winters are specific. When the air is dry rather than damp, the wind matters more than the thermometer, and that changes what a garment needs to do. A coat that performs well in a mild city may be inadequate there, and a fabric that looks substantial on a hanger can lose its warmth quickly once the wind picks up. This is a practical guide to reading fabric composition and construction before you buy.]]></description>

    <title><![CDATA[Why a linen shirt works as an autumn layer in Japan]]></title>

    <description><![CDATA[Linen is usually sold as a summer fabric in Japan, and for most of the country that framing is accurate. But where autumn arrives earlier and the temperature drops more sharply, a heavier linen shirt occupies a useful middle ground between summer cotton and winter wool. This is a short account of why, and what to look for.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The problem with most winter wardrobes is not a shortage of pieces. It is a surplus of pieces that do not work together, bought in different moments for different reasons, none of them quite right. This is a practical account of how to think about a winter wardrobe before buying anything new.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[A styling appointment at Stellar River Meadow is not a sales session with a different name. It is a conversation about your wardrobe, followed by a selection of pieces from the current collection that might be useful. You are not obliged to buy anything, and we will tell you if nothing in the current selection is right for you at this moment. This is a plain account of how it works.]]></description>
