What is your image of Alpha Industries?
I still have a strong image of MA-1.
What do you keep in mind when wearing military outerwear in the city?
In my recent mood, I thought it would be interesting to try a classy military style with clean items.
What social issues are you most interested in right now?
It is the popularization of AI. It is very beneficial for the elderly and physically disabled, but it is a little scary to think that human power will no longer be needed for various occupations, regardless of apparel.
What movies do you want to see in the winter?
I always watch "Ghost: The Phantom of New York" every year.
What is your favorite type of the opposite sex?
A woman who is kind and understands a lot of things. In terms of looks, I prefer someone with long black hair or a bob that suits her. Also, someone who smiles a lot.
This is a military blouson of ECWC standard, which means Extended Clothing System for Cold Climates. This is a casual version of the cold weather outerwear commonly known as "LEVEL-7. It is made of PrimaLoft material with excellent heat retention, water repellency, and compressibility.

What is the point of today's outfit?
Since the items have a strong statement, the entire body is put together with sporty items in a single tone.
What are your impressions of wearing Alpha Industries' outerwear?
I had an image that there were many military-like, rugged items, but there were also outerwear items that were surprisingly sporty and had an outdoorsy feel to them, which was refreshing. The functionality and warmth retention were as good as they could be.
What kind of outerwear items are you interested in right now?
I was just curious about the military MA-1.
How did you fall in love with fashion?
I was greatly influenced by the first fashion magazine I bought when I was in junior high school.
Who do you look to for fashion and style?
ASAP NAST.
This parka-type heavy jacket is a fusion of outdoor and military tastes. The use of PrimaLoft, which is popular these days, instead of down, provides high heat retention and comfort. The yellow and black color combination is also impressive.
