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.

Drive your car and go from the outdoors to the city.

After enjoying a few hours of fishing in the morning, he headed to Yoyogi Uehara by car to catch the restaurant's early afternoon opening. Mr. Takahashi's favorite car is a 2005 Subaru Legacy Outback L.L. Bean Edition, which he acquired last year. The limited edition green color looks great both outdoors and in the city. On the way in the car, we selected a "SOLOTEX® Twill '47 CLEAN UP Dark Khaki" cap in the same color as the shirt. This is a new series based on SOLOTEX®︎, which uses soft and cushioned twill fabric.

The unique matte texture combines the softness and durability unique to twill with the omni-directional stretchability unique to SOLOTEX®︎ to ensure a comfortable fit. The dry feel of this material, which contains polyester but feels like a natural material, is also a key point.

In addition to the gray color worn, the lineup includes black and khaki. For driving a car when the sun is strong, it is recommended to use a cap or other hat as well as sunglasses to protect against the sun's rays.

I appreciate simple caps like this because they fit naturally with any style. I think they go well with the items I select at Kalaage. Some people may feel uncomfortable wearing caps as they get older, but I recommend these caps to those people as well.
