You are wearing a "Champion" made in the USA. Do you like American-made products?
Yes, I do. I have more made-in-USA items than made-in-France or made-in-Germany items. I like them so much that I have even made original apparel such as T-shirts, pants, and bags in the U.S. It is more difficult than making them domestically. It is more difficult than making them in Japan, and there are many difficulties, but I still admire it.
What was the hardest part?
We have to wait patiently for communication and delivery dates (laughs). I think it is really amazing that a global brand like 〈Champion〉 continues to make products made in the U.S.A.
I feel the pride of "Champion" there. What do you find attractive about American-made products?
I like the fact that they use fabrics that are hard to find in Japan. For example, the backed fabrics I look for in Japan and the U.S. are completely different. When I look at fabrics made in the U.S., I find many that are exquisite and not found in Japan. You can clearly see the difference when you put a sleeve through it.
This sweatshirt is a 9 oz. fabric developed based on the classic fleece that was popular in the 90's and can be worn in 3 seasons. Made in the USA.
I like the raised feel. If you look for fabrics like this in Japan, there are not that many options. It's just the right thickness, somewhere between a sweatshirt and a long T, and easy to layer. I think women also like tops of this thickness.
Do you wear sweatshirts often?
I wear sweats almost every day, both at home and outside. For the past three years or so, I've bought shirts, but I've worn them less often. Sweatshirts are easy.
I like the depth of the navy color, which is different from the denim pants you have worn.
Japanese navy is dark, but the color of this sweatshirt is a shallow navy that looks American. This navy is easier to match with denim.
