A brand that I aspire to wear someday.
I felt that SCHOTT was a brand that suited your style in that sense.
Arashi:I still have a strong impression of leather riders' jackets. It is a brand that is very American and in the cycle culture, and we have a strong impression that it has been loved for a long time by people of the generation older than ourselves.
Kazuho:That's right. The image of being the first leather brand with history and tradition is still strong.

It is true that the "Perfecto" series of riders, such as the "One Star," leaves a strong impression on us. Leather items seem to have a strong affinity with items from Kazuho's "F.A.F." brand.
Kei:（Would you like a special order?
Kazuho:No, if I can ask for it (laughs). There are many items that I personally would like to have.
Kei:In terms of special orders, SCHOTT makes a special-order jacket with Supreme every season. I think the items that incorporate cycle culture are always really cool, and I really want a standard rider's jacket. The brand has a strong sense of masculinity, doesn't it?
Tsukasa:As Kei says, the special-order items released by SCHOTT with various brands are very impressive. I think it is because these items have taken root in the fashion scene as standard items that they look cool and are compelling as fashion items.
Senan:For me, there was a bit of a grungy impression, assuming a rugged image.
Bobby:As everyone says, I too have a "shot" when it comes to leather items. I have lived my whole life thinking that one day I will buy one myself.
All:(Laughter).
Tsukasa:That's how much you admire the brand, right?
Bobby:Yeah. I wondered when that day would be. I wonder if I'm going to be the one to go for the "shot"....
Like, "Will Shots find me?" (laughs) (Laughs).
Bobby:Yes, something like that (laughs).
Kei:Today, I styled the items from SCHOTT by mixing them with my own clothes, and they seemed to be in the same style as usual. It was easy to match the items with what we usually wear.

I see. The items you styled for us are reasonably priced and have a trendy silhouette. I think they are perfect for adults as well as youth, but how did you feel when you actually tried them on?
Bobby:I wore the leather overalls, and I thought they were well made and good. I would like to wear them as my everyday work clothes.
Kei:Senan was too well dressed as usual and very stable.
Senan:Yes, it's no different than usual (laughs). I wanted to keep wearing my "SCHOTT" overalls when I painted, and get them covered in paint. That's how authentic the workwear felt.
Arashi:I was also surprised at how soft and comfortable the fabric is despite its toughness. I thought it would be easy to match with both active and everyday wear.
Tsukasa:I also felt that the details were more detailed than I had imagined. I think that most workwear is rough and rough, but I was impressed by the attention to detail.
Kazuho:It's of high quality as a pure fashion item, isn't it?
Tsukasa:Yes, yes.
Kei:In my case, I usually wear workwear, so it felt good against my skin. I also like that there is a wide variety of colors available. I can incorporate them into my style according to my taste, and I think they are clothes that I want to wear.

Lastly, can you tell us about any plans you have for YouthQuake in the future?
Bobby:We have a college logo that symbolizes YouthQuake, and we are preparing to hold a pop-up store in late September at a certain location in Tokyo where we can release T-shirts with this logo. We are planning to finally release T-shirts that we have never sold before.
Kazuho:(Logo T-shirts for sale) We've accumulated a lot. I'm a little bit reluctant to put it out there.
Kei:Keep looking for good timing.
Kazuho:We couldn't make a big deal out of the situation, so we kept postponing and postponing.
Bobby:I want to do it next time without any postponement! I want to do it next time without any postponement!
Kei:We will be able to use a suitable location, and we hope to make an announcement when the time is right to make a formal announcement.
Bobby:Also, although it is still in the planning stage, we are all thinking about whether we can realize a project at the end of the year that will convey what YouthQuake is expressing in an all-encompassing way. When this too takes shape, I am sure it will be something that will be enjoyed by all who come, so please check it out.
