#BERRETTA

[hisoca-kyoto]

企画展「ensamble」。GWがスタートした週末も楽しみにお越しいただきありがとうございました。お一人お帰りになるとまたお一人とゆう感じで、途切れずご来店いただき鏡でゆっくりご自身との相性を確かめながら素敵なものたちとの出会いを楽しんでくださっていました。本日28日（月）は中休みを頂き、明日29日（火）より後半スタートいたします。お休みの方もお仕事帰りの方も皆さんのご都合に合わせてお気軽にお立ち寄り下さいませ。

今回の企画展で初めてご紹介させていただくBERRETTAさん。本田依子さんと本田正太郎さんのご夫妻お二人で活動されています。以前より愛用していたBERRETTAさんの帽子を今回やっとご紹介できるのが嬉しくて、店内に帽子が並ぶ風景を毎朝眺めてはドキドキしている毎日です。私が本田さんの帽子を知ったのは30数年前の雑誌の1ページ。（ネットですぐに情報が取り出せる時代ではありませんでした））天然素材の帽子でデザインが素敵なものが少なかった時代に本田さんの帽子は輝いて見えました。その頃から基本のスタイルを守りつつ長きに渡り愛される本田さんの帽子にぜひこの機会に出会って頂けると嬉しいです。

前半のお写真はトップに溝のようなデザインがあるマープルタイプ。黒い太めのリボンはつばの下がったマープルクロッシュ。素材はバオで通気性がよく、軽くて強い素材で今回はこちらの素材のものが多いです。白い羽の刺繍が入ったのもマープルクロッシュ。近年は天然素材の目の綺麗に揃ったものが少なくなってきている為、太い編み目や色の濃い部分を隠すように刺繍を入れた��とから産まれたそうです。材料を大切にされている素敵なアイデアですね。

黒の結びリボンはマープルミディアムブリム（クロッシュよりつばの下りが穏やかなタイプ）素材はヒノキで軽くて少し柔らかで、編み目が少し太めで印象的です。モノトーンの配色刺繍のマープルミディアムブリムはラフィアの帽子でこちらのみご覧いただけます。素材やリボン、刺繍の有無、つばの傾斜や大きさで雰囲気も変わって面白いです。

トップがフラットなデザインのベルレッタスタイルは基本の形で私も初めに手に入れた帽子です。編み目の細やかなバオにリボンも細くシンプルでBERRETTAの帽子の美しさが詰まっていると思います。最後はヒノキレースコンビネーション。トップはベルレッタスタイルのようにフラットでつばの部分にハリを持たせるようにヒノキのレースとの２重になっています。2重くならないようにブリムをパイピングで軽くなるように仕上げられているそうです。こちらもとても印象的な形です。皆さん楽しく選んでいただき半分ほどの点数になっていますが、まだ素敵な帽子に出会っていただけます。ぜひこの機会にご自身にピッタリと寄り添う帽子に出会って下さい。

＊BERRETTA さんの帽子を被られた方の動画がアップされているYouTubeチャンネルがあります。帽子の参考になると思うので、ご興味お持ちの方はこちらもぜひご覧になってみてくださいね。

Moscerini infinitesimi

Con un’estate afosa e umida il problema dei moscerini molesti è di grande attualità. Il racconto che vorrebbe trattare il tema con arguzia, é inedito e andrà a fare parte del libro intitolato provvisoriamente “Racconti scelti” che riunirà i racconti, selezionati dall’autore, per i quali i lettori hanno mostrato particolare gradimento una volta pubblicati su WordPress, Facebook, Linkedin,…

Hey Res! Please ignore this ask if it's too troublesome or bothersome

I saw you had an guide for non-drikers writers that wanted to write about a character who drink. I was wondering if you could the same about guns?

I read synchronicity and I loved it how you used Jason's knowledge with guns to control the narrative and pacing. I don't know if you have actual technical knowledge on handguns (I think it's a no? But maybe you do?) But any tip is nice

Thank you a lot 🩷

Hi anon! This is such a fascinating question and I hope I can provide a somewhat plausible answer. I am familiar with some guns and have shot a few in my lifetime, but I am far from an expert.

Some things I think writers need to keep in mind while writing their firearm-related scenes. For clarity, I'm just going to call them guns below.

Are you thinking of a specific gun? Make sure you know its full name but ALSO make sure you know its nickname. Your character might think of it as "the Berretta" instead of its full name, etc.

What does your gun fire? Does it take shells, bullets, cartridges, etc? Shotguns, for example, don't fire bullets. That's a common mistake I see.

How do you reload said gun? Is it easy? What parts of the gun do you have to touch? Reloading a shotgun is MUCH different from reloading a handgun, for example.

Most guns get hot and release gunpowder residue when shot. They're LOUD. You can have several cascading things happen to a character who fires a gun or is near a gun when it fires: ringing ears, the smell of gunpowder, the hot feeling of the gun's muzzle, etc.

Even the best sharpshooters miss shots. IRL shooting is HARD, especially when moving. Different guns have different benefits to shooting style, stance, targets. Firing a handgun willy-nilly will rarely result in accurate shots, even if you dual wield (which is silly, this is SO hard).

Stance MATTERS. If you've ever seen Hannibal, there's a scene where Will talks about his choice of shooting stance with Beverly. They bicker over Isosceles and Weaver, which are two standard stances. One uses a triangle between your arms and the gun to brace for the kickback of the shot, while the other moves that brace to one side with a different grip. Will eventually chooses the latter stance because of a past shoulder injury. (GIF of Will struggling with his original isosceles stance)

If a gun isn't properly braced when fired, it will kick back and hit you. Sometimes in the face. Yes this has happened with me and a rifle. My first day shooting cans, I had a huge bruise on my face AND on my chest where the rifle butt kicked back.

If your gun uses bullets, there are different calibers. If you've ever watched Mythbusters, you can see why caliber matters -- it depends what or who you're shooting. Are you trying to penetrate armor? Are you sacrificing accuracy for power? Different guns use different calibers for numerous reasons, and guns can be altered to use other ammo as well.

With respect to discussing caliber while writing: It's all VERY complicated if you don't know guns, so make sure you're not giving too much detail if you can avoid it. That's a very easy way to spot a lack of experience with guns, in my experience. Your reader doesn't need to know the caliber just because the character is shooting a gun -- but in an autopsy, sure, the caliber is relevant.

You will lose your hearing eventually if you fire guns close to your ears unprotected. It's not sexy, and it also causes something called tinnitus. The real pros wear ear protection.

In terms of realism for writing, here's a couple rapid fire busted myths: You can't dodge bullets unless you're superhuman. Bullet wounds to the legs/arms/shoulders can absolutely still be fatal. Cardiac arrest caused by being shot is usually fatal, and CPR doesn't really help on its own. "Running out of shots" depends on the gun AND the modifications someone has made to it. You can't always tell just by looking at a gun what it will do. Silencers are rarely "silent" and are heavily regulated.

Injuries: Some bullets tear through bodies. Some aren't high enough caliber to do more than go in and lodge in some tissue. Some fragment and bounce around in weird ways. Depending on how gruesome you want to get, there's a lot of different ways to describe gunshot injuries. I've always been the kind of person to google images for better understanding, but I understand that's not for everyone. I think NYT or WaPo did a good piece on traumatic gun injuries a few years back, complete with an interview with an ER doc from Chicago (?). One thing I learned there -- sometimes people lose their legs, or both legs, after being shot in their leg.

In terms of describing how someone uses/fights with guns, I know the John Wick movies are a little cheesy, but they are staged by people who REALLY know their guns. They talk about what he's using usually before the scene starts, and there's very few frills when it comes to stance, firing, etc. John does a cool trick in the first or second movie where he ejects a casing one-handed away from his face, a notoriously hard maneuver that most people usually do with two hands to avoid getting burned. I highly recommend watching the John Wick movies for blocking ideas.

Which reminds me -- holding a gun sideways is a terrible idea. For many reasons. Stance, casing ejection, stability, etc. Someone can use it against you.

Never point a gun at something you're not willing to shoot. Well-trained characters should follow this rule religiously. If they were soldiers, agents, etc, they will know this rule.

Similarly, multiple people with guns will "clear" a room before entering. They will be trained for something called crossfire, which is when someone is downrange of their gun and could potentially be shot. A group of characters bursting into a room without clearing their shot is a nightmare. This is how people shoot their friends or random civilians.

I hope someone more knowledgeable can add onto this! These are just some big things that stick out to me when reading. I highly recommend checking out Mythbusters, John Wick, and even Hannibal for some semi-realistic shooting references. Good luck!

You as Simon Riley's wife who don't know shit about guns.

Simon: I'm home Luvvie.

He founds you in the bathroom bend on a bucket full of detergent and water with his Damn Guns, His God Damn Guns in it and you diligently scrubbing them.

His breath hitched in his throat.

His sniper dismantled and you scrubbing it with detergent like its life depends on it.

You turn around all teeth and smiling holding the dripping wet Berretta deprived of his magazine in your hand.

"Look babe I cleaned your guns, they were so dirty."

"Bloody Fucking Hell!" He says before falling down on his knees with his hand on his heart.

😅😅😅
