You opened "darlin." in 2016, and compared to that time, Yutenji is getting more and more exciting, isn't it?
Okinaga:In the past, there were only a few used clothing stores, but recently, stores have finally started popping up. There is a sense that more and more young people are coming to town.
What kind of customers do you have at EDIE?
Okinaga:There are many young people, children and old people who live in this area, and so many different kinds of people come here.
What kind of work clothes do you usually wear?
Okinaga:Ease of movement is a must. Tops may be mostly shirts.
What do you think of the Danner pants you are wearing today?
Okinaga:. When it is as loose as this, it is easy to move around. The fabric is soft, too, so it doesn't feel like it interferes with my movements. It's also nice that the hair doesn't stick.
What do you mean by "the hairs don't stick"?
Okinaga:. If the fabric is even a little rough, the cut hair sticks into the fabric. On the other hand, these pants have a very tight texture, so it doesn't stick at all. This is a viewpoint only a hairdresser can have, though.
By the way, did you know Danner?
Okinaga:Of course. I was a Boy Scout in elementary and junior high school, and I have always loved the outdoors. I knew that they existed and I had been wearing boots since then.
What is your impression of the "Danner" brand?
Okinaga:After all, it's boots, it's trekking, it's a rugged image. It's a brand you can trust. . That's why I wore the boots I had for quite a long time. The pants I'm wearing today are just like that image, and I would definitely wear them the next time I have a chance to go camping.
Also, I commute to work by bicycle every day, and I think these pants will come in handy in the chilly season, as they keep the wind from blowing through.
