Because of its simplicity, the skill of the wearer is required.
Mr. Ashikari's first encounter with "Haines" was during his college days. When he was looking for inner wear that would last for a long time, people around him always recommended "Haines. When I actually picked up a pair, I understood why. The supple and comfortable feel is outstanding. I have this Japan-fit crew-neck, a V-neck, and another beefy model, and I have them in different sizes (M, L, and XL). I like to use them in different ways depending on my mood and coordination. In this way, Haynes has established an unshakeable position as the go-to brand when it comes to innerwear.
I have been working in the apparel industry since I graduated from college. How did he get his start? When asked, "The owner of a local boutique I went to when I was in college was extremely cool, from his style to his personality," he replied, "I would often visit his shop, but instead of shopping, I would just sit on the bench in front of his shop and talk to him about life. He would often show up at the store, but instead of shopping, he would just sit on the bench in front of the store and discuss life with the owner. I really gave him a lot of trouble...," he says with a wry smile, but he is proud to be working in the same industry as he does now.
On the other hand, the way he wears white T-shirts was influenced by a store staff member. When I went to Beams in Hiroshima a long time ago, the staff member who served me was just so cool. He was wearing a white T, denim, and a cap, which is very simple styling, but when he put it on, it had a mysterious presence. I tried to follow his example, but it didn't feel right when I tried it on myself. Because of its simplicity, the styling of this white T is also a key to showing one's skills, and he will no doubt continue to follow the lead of his peers with "Haines" in the future.
