Takahiro Ohashi and Hirofumi Kojima Kojima talk about the Grip Swanee.

The year was 1848. During the gold rush in the U.S., the outdoor gloves of "GRIP SWANY" were trusted by miners. More than 150 years have passed since then, and now this long-established brand has transcended the boundaries of the outdoors and is gaining support from the fashion scene as well. To find out the essence of GRIP SWANY, we interviewed two key persons, starting with the "gear shorts" that are synonymous with the brand.
