The sixth installment of “LAWSON FREAK,” an apparel collaboration between the Japanese convenience store (konbini) “Lawson” and the popular select shop “FREAK’S STORE,” launched across Japan on Thursday, March 19, 2026. This project, which offers high-quality clothing at local Japanese konbini, generates significant buzz with every release.
“LAWSON FREAK” Vol. 6 Arrives to Redefine Convenience Store Fashion
Starting today, March 19, 2026, the sixth collection of “LAWSON FREAK” is available at Lawson stores nationwide and the FREAK’S STORE official online store. This year’s lineup features two items that saw instant sell-outs last year: the “6.0 oz Heavyweight Comfort T-Shirt” and the “Packable Nylon Shorts.”
Characterized by the relaxed silhouettes synonymous with FREAK’S STORE—a leader in Japanese trends—these items are designed for more than just quick convenience. While easily accessible at a konbini, they are high-quality pieces ready for everyday wear or outdoor activities like camping and music festivals.
A Tough, Opaque Fabric: “6.0 oz Heavyweight Comfort T-Shirt”
The defining feature of this T-shirt is its perfectly weighted fabric. Utilizing a “6.0 oz” (approx. 203 g/m²) heavyweight material, it maintains its structure without showing body lines and prevents the “transparency” issues often found with standard white T-shirts.
- Release Date: Thursday, March 19, 2026
- Product Name: 6.0 oz Heavyweight Comfort T-Shirt
- Price: 2,499 yen (approx. $16.66 USD)
- Colors: White, Black
- Sizes: S–M, L–XL (2 sizes)
- Availability: Lawson stores nationwide (excluding some locations, Natural Lawson, and Lawson Store 100) and the online store
The T-shirt is available in two versatile colors: White and Black. Thanks to its relaxed silhouette, it pairs perfectly with any choice of bottoms. Available in two sizes, you can choose between a standard fit or an oversized look. The ability to purchase select-shop quality apparel while stopping by a konbini is a testament to Japan’s uniquely convenient lifestyle culture.
Perfect for Travel and Leisure: “Packable Nylon Shorts”
Just in time for the warmer seasons, these convenient shorts have also arrived. Made from lightweight and durable nylon, their standout feature is the “pocketable” design, allowing them to be folded into a compact size for easy storage.

The silhouette reflects modern Japanese street fashion, making them easy to style with sandals and thick crew socks.
The Vision of “FREAK’S STORE”: Supporting Japanese Fashion Culture
Daytona International, the company behind this project, was founded in 1986. They are a long-standing fashion enterprise that has introduced the “rich American lifestyle” to Japan. Beyond their core “FREAK’S STORE” select shops, they are active in various fields, including sustainable brands and coworking spaces.
Their collaboration with Lawson—the konbini most integrated into Japanese daily life—stems from a desire to deliver what they believe are “truly good products” to as many people as possible. This is more than just a limited-edition product; it is a proposal for a new lifestyle.
Sales Locations and Online Store Information
The Vol. 6 items released today can be purchased at the following locations:
