What do those parents and children wear at Gap? Part 2

Gap was founded in San Francisco in 1969 as a denim and record store. Since then, Gap has grown into a national brand in the U.S. and has been updated based on American traditions, despite the emergence of many easily accessible brands. The growing popularity of the old Gap in the vintage clothing market is proof that the brand is adapting to the times. The Gap is the new hot right now. HOUYHNHNM's asked 15 pairs of hip parents and their children to wear the best items for fall and winter, and took snapshots of them.

James, you have been in the U.S. for a long time. What does the "Gap" mean to Americans?

James:There is an image of clothing that can be worn by the whole family, as well as a sense of the standard. I think that plain clothes and denim are the most famous.

How is it for you?

Manaca:They used to be rare and hard to buy because I lived in Nagano. Now it is an image of casual, easy, and fashionable coordination.

I see. I have the impression that you usually wear work clothes.

James:Yes, I do. It's just old clothes or work clothes. They get dirty, so I tend to wear daily wear.

Have you changed what you wear since you had a child?

Manaca:It has really changed. I've been walking a lot, so I've been wearing more things that are easy to move around in. So I really like the Gap's clothes this time because they are easy to move in and lightweight. I was also surprised by the amount of children's clothing.

James:Gap kids are famous in the U.S. as well, aren't they?

Manaca:They were also displayed by age in the store, so it was very easy to see them. I think I'm going to go there from now on.

How is it comfortable to wear?

James:Both the top and bottom are very comfy. The green of the sweater was a nice color too. The down is also easy to move around in, so it could be worn as work clothes.

Manaca:My pants are amazingly comfortable and stress-free. When I carry my baby, I worry about the part of the pants that touches my skin, but with these I feel comfortable carrying him.

I heard that James' bicycle is not available for purchase at this time.

James:Since I am now working by myself, the number of bicycles I can make is limited. If I were to accept all orders, I would have to keep customers waiting for a long time, so I am sorry to say that I am refusing to accept orders. But I am always available for repairs, so I hope you will come to me anytime.
