Please tell us what you think of the items when you actually wear them.
I thought the jacket was nice and lightweight. Also, I could sympathize with the use of recycled polyester for the padding, not down or feathers, in an animal rights sense.
As for the shoes, I walked about 1.6 km from the station to here, and they are lightweight, and the sole is quite soft and feels like it sticks to my feet, so they were very easy to wear. They seem to work well for running, don't they?
What about the design aspect?
I noticed that the jacket is very warm around the neck where merino wool is used, and I thought it was well designed down to the smallest details. Also, the jacket has a double-zip closure, so it can be styled in such a way that only the bottom part is open to show the inner lining. . I think it is because of the coloring of the shoes, but it is fun to see the color change depending on the angle.

What are the key points of coordination?
I think men tend to choose black. . That is why I chose this color scheme. . Rather than a sporty look, I took a classic slacks look and gave it a twist.
What do you usually look for when choosing clothes?
I like patterned items a lot, and I am always thinking about how to combine patterns, or how to match the colors of socks and shoes. I am conscious of trying out styling that might not seem to go together, such as wearing a cardigan over a nylon parka.

Do you take any environmentally friendly actions in the making of your clothes?
Basically, my brand does not carry any inventory. In short, we produce only what is ordered. Selling out is, in a sense, sustainable. We also dye our yarns with vegetable dyes to make original fabrics. This fabric is made from cupra, which is attached to cotton and returns to the soil. Therefore, we do not have to pay for disposal and we do not have to put a burden on the environment.
Did you feel any change in yourself before and after Corona?
Since I spend more time at home, I realized how important it is to improve the environment within a 5-meter radius of me, both in my work and personal life. I have started to invest more time and money in the things in my home that I had not given much importance to before.

The puffer jacket is a combination of merino and Tencel , with a voluminous silhouette. The padding is made of Tencel and recycled polyester, rather than down or feathers. This is a utility item that fits in with a variety of outfits, from casual to street, and even formal.

These running shoes have been tested for over 1500 km. The seamless upper made of eucalyptus fiber is flexible, lightweight, and breathable. The streamlined sole supports a smooth footstep. The dark red coloring with accents at the lacing holes gives the shoes a luxurious feel that is not typical of running shoes.
