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.

High functionality and simplicity to enjoy as an extension of everyday life.

As a mountain stream fisherman, I mainly fish mountain streams, but Lake Sagami and Lake Kawaguchi are my favorite fishing spots because they are close enough to Tokyo that I can get there quickly before work. Because I can go there easily, I dress in a fashion similar to my everyday clothes when I fish at the lakes. That may be my fishing style. So a cap is a must-have item both in terms of function and appearance.

This time, Mr. Takahashi chose "SOLOTEX CALCULO '47 CLEAN UP White" by "forty-seven ('47)" as his partner for lake fishing. Based on SOLOTEX®︎ fabric, which is steadfastly popular in the sports scene, this item is best suited for outdoor and active scenes, as the reverse side is made of a new material using CALCULO®︎, a polyester fiber with excellent quick-drying properties.

I wore this cap for the first time during this shoot, and the simple design makes it easy to match with any outfit. I really like the resilience of the fabric and the roundness of the brim. Since the season is about to get hotter and hotter, the functional "SOLOTEX® CALCULO '47 CLENA UP White" is also very good.

This item also comes in a lineup of four color variations: basic white, navy, black, and dark gray. This cap is not only for outdoor use, but also for daily use, and will surely come in handy in the coming season. And what about today's catch?

I was totally useless (laughs). But I think the charm of fishing is that it's still fun."
