It was great when I tried it on. The silhouette is beautiful and warm .
Ms. Amberuoka, when I heard your story, I was a little surprised to hear that you are a regular customer of Descente Ortelaine's clothing.
Yellowtailoka:That's right (laughs). I met someone shortly after I started my own company, and he introduced me to the company, saying, "This is good.
So you bought it right away?
Yellowtailoka:Yes, that's right. I have a great deal of trust in his sense of style. When I first met him, he was wearing Levi's® 3D-cut denim, and that left a strange impression on me. After that, we started working together frequently, and the more I got to know him, the more I felt he was an interesting person. Then one day, he asked me, "Have you heard of 'Mizusawa Down'? That was my first encounter with Descente Ortelaine.
. Because you had faith in him.
Yellowtailoka:Yes, that's right. There are many interesting things in his office, and I am just intrigued, or rather, attracted to them. So I picked up the "Mizusawa Down," but to be honest, I was a bit reluctant to try it at first. I had the impression that "Descente" was about sports, not fashion. But when I tried it on, I was very pleased. The silhouette was beautiful and it was warm. At the time, the only down we had was a bulky, furry down, so I thought it was a good idea and wore it every day in winter.
. You also have fleece and down pants now, don't you?
Yellowtailoka:There is a select store in Iwate called "Lokalor. They carry our furniture there. I actually go on a fishing trip every year in May to coincide with the sales event (laughs). The owner, Yoshiaki Nakamura, is also a fan of "Descente Ortelaine" and talks about it with great passion. Just the other day, I went there again and bought a "Mizusawa Down" for my sister (laughs).
The "Mizusawa Down," which belonged to Mr. Yellowtailoka, is a rare item that even the Descente Ortelaine representative who was present for the interview did not see very often. The down pants, which are not currently available, use the BOA® Fit System. The system is operated by a dial with a wire in the waist, and the size is adjusted accordingly.
You two have been a strong influence on me.
Yellowtailoka:That's right. After DESCENTE ORTERINE was established, select stores began carrying the brand, and it is now recognized as one of the brand's flagship products. It is now recognized as the brand's flagship product, which means that it has become so popular that people can wear it without any resistance.
Mizusawa Down" is warm, of course, but how does it fit into your daily life?
Yellowtailoka:. Because they are made by a sports manufacturer, they are very easy to move around in. It gets very cold in our workshop in the winter, but we wear down jackets and work clothes over them. Even so, they are easy to move around in. The volume is also kept to a minimum, making it easy to layer.
The "Ambit" down jacket you are wearing this time is quite high-spec. It is a performance model that uses GORE-TEX, a durable fabric that can be used for outdoor activities, but how did you feel when you tried it on?
Yellowtailoka:I want one of these. Mizusawa Down" is so warm that once you put it on, you can't wear any other outerwear, and you become addicted to it. And if GORE-TEX is used, it's the best, isn't it? Nakamura of "Roca Rail" said, "If there is a combination of 'Mizusawa Down' and 'GORE-TEX,' there is nothing more to it. The sense of trust is unparalleled.
MIZUSAWA DOWN JACKET "GORE-TEX AMBIT". This performance model uses "GORE-TEX 30d RIP-STOP NYLON" in "Mizusawa Down" and is not only waterproof and breathable, but also lightweight and compact. The feathers are made of "DOWNPASS" certified traceable down, which is strictly controlled by serial numbers, and the procurement process can be traced. The high quality of the craftsmanship and the high quality of the down are protected. ¥154,000
On the other hand, the shell is also made of GORE-TEX, but this is an environmentally friendly fabric used in the production process.
Yellowtailoka:This is also cool. Recently, I have started to shop with such environmental activities in mind. I think that environmental issues are so serious that sports and outdoor manufacturers cannot do business without doing so. So, if a product is being used in an action-oriented manner and another product is not, the former is a better reason to pick it up.
Furthermore, this jacket is pure black with no unnecessary decoration in its design, and it was simple and easy to match. It is just the right outerwear for this time of year.
When you are fishing, you have even more respect for nature, don't you?
Yellowtailoka:Yes, that's right. . simply because if the river were to disappear, we would not be able to fish. . So I sometimes pick up trash and come back. It is also a pity that children will not be able to play in the river , so it is important to act to protect it.
