FISHING MEETS FASHION

Fishing fashion for fun in nature and in the city.

Outdoor activities are enjoying an unprecedented surge in popularity in the wake of the Corona disaster. Fishing is definitely at the top of the list. There are various types of fishing, including active fishing out to sea on a boat with a group of friends, and fishing on a lake or river where you can face yourself. The main attraction of this activity is that it can be enjoyed according to the tastes and interests of those who enjoy it. Fishing fashion has become a vibrant trend in this era. The vest has been the first to catch fire, and now fashionable items are being introduced one after another. Here, we thoroughly introduce hip brands that are indispensable for incorporating such elements of fishing into street clothes. (This article is reprinted from "Huinum Unplugged Vol. 12" magazine.)

DAIWA PIER39

Clothing that seamlessly connects the field and the city.

Daiwa, a manufacturer that boasts the top share of the fishing tackle market in Japan, has created a fashion brand with a serious focus. It is called "Daiwa Pier 39. The clothes of this brand have the power of persuasion because they are made by Daiwa, a company that enjoys the support of many fishermen regardless of whether they are professionals or amateurs.

The collection is all tailored with synthetic fabrics , which can be washed quickly and dry quickly. . Fishing is a sport that deals with water and tides, so that is what we focused on.

. Of course, the design concept is also rooted in fishing. Vintage fishing and hunting clothes that are filled with "beauty of use" were used as references. For example, the large pockets on the jacket are designed with a thin gusset to prevent them from being bulky and making it difficult to move around. But they are also wide enough to hold a lure case. The lure case also has a sunglass holder and a hook for hooking a pin-on reel with an extendable and retractable wire. . There are many pockets on the inside of the outfit, and it has excellent storage capacity.

The most important aspect of this collection is the fashionable street wear. Fishing and American casual elements such as military and traditional clothing were used to create this collection. The items are simple and basic without decorative embellishments, and are designed with long-lasting wear in mind. The fabrics are selected to have a cotton-like texture with no sheen, though they are made of synthetic fibers. The fabrics are designed to be easy to match with other clothes you have on hand and to look comfortable when worn on the street. The loose-fitting silhouette is in line with current trends, and above all, it is easy to move around in, so fishing can be enjoyed without stress. In fact, there are people who wear this brand's clothes for fishing.
