A bridge between the city and the outdoors. A report on Columbia Black Label in Osaka.

In recent years, in addition to the increase in the number of people who frequently visit outdoor fields, there are also many people who use highly functional clothing as their street clothes. This time, we focus on the long-established outdoor brand Columbia's "Columbia Black Label," a line of clothing for town use. The Columbia Mountain Hardwear Grand Front Osaka store, the largest multi-brand store in western Japan, has just opened in Osaka, and we invited Kansai-based stylist Susumu En as our navigator to find out all about the store and its products. We are so glad you enjoyed the store!

MADOKA'S PICK UP ITEM Stylist En-san's first choice,
Five immediate items.

From the Columbia/Mountain Hardwear Grand Front Osaka store, which offers a full lineup of Columbia Black Label products, we introduce five items that En-san was particularly interested in. While the outdoor specs are designed to withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the Columbia Black Label has a look that looks great on the street.

Selected Items 01

SANDY SLOPE™ 2 JACKET ¥42,000+TAX

This is the most military-like item in the lineup, perhaps based on the M-65. It is waterproof and has a watertight zip, so I want to wear it on location. The color of the hood, which is slightly different from the main body, is also a nice touch.

Selected Items 02

FLOYD ROCK™ II JACKET ¥24,000+TAX

. the camo pattern is superb. . It is a pattern that is difficult to wear in an elegant way, but this pattern looks good no matter who wears it. I would love to use it in my styling. It's reversible, so it's twice as good (laughs)."

Selected Items 03

ENCO CREEK™ CARDIGAN ¥17,000+TAX

. It was the first item that caught my eye (laughs). . In fall and winter, I have more opportunities to wear a parka, so I wanted to layer it on top of a parka. It has excellent warmth and can be used as innerwear or outerwear, so it will be the star of your fall/winter style.

Selected Items 04

BUTON RIVER™ LS SHIRT ¥14,000+TAX

It looks like a casual corduroy shirt, but the large breast pocket and silhouette are interesting. It looks good even when worn loosely, so I think it's a good idea to choose one size larger instead of just the right size.

Selected Items 05

KENNET DOME™ PANT ¥15,000+TAX

. The stretchiness seems to make them comfortable to wear. . The silhouette is clean, so I think it can be used for a wide range of styling purposes. Personally, I would wear them with an oversized shirt!
