Forty-Seven's Solotex® is rough and active.

Activities in nature have become so accessible that if you open a social networking site or the web, you can say that not a day goes by when you don't see fishing or camping. As those who enjoy nature already know, it is important that what you wear outdoors be more highly functional than what you wear in town. Especially in the coming season, you want to select items that can handle the sun, sweat, and weather. The Solotex® series released by "forty-seven" ('47)、with its high functionality and simple visuals、whether in nature or in the city、whatever the scene of your daily life、 you are sure to fall in love with it. In this issue, Mr. Takahashi of the popular Kalaage store in Yoyogi Uehara will share with us the charms of the Solotex® series, along with his daily routine of going fishing before work.

Free time for adults away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Adults who don't want to forget their playful and childlike spirit. Yuta Takahashi runs a vintage clothing and select store called "Color at Against" in Yoyogi Uehara, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, with such a fun concept. Recently, he has become addicted to outdoor activities such as camping and fishing, and between work and child-rearing, he drives his car to a mountain stream or lake once a week.

I am so addicted to fishing that I would go fishing every day if I could. Even if I don't catch any fish, the time I spend in contact with nature and driving around in my car at my leisure is refreshing and special.

We met up with Mr. Takahashi on a weekday morning and headed for Lake Sagami, a classic spot that is only an hour's drive from Tokyo. It is said to be a popular area for anglers during the early spring season.
