Eight ways to wear a wool-rich down jacket and a stylish couple.

WOOLRICH OUTDOOR LABEL" incorporates a modern sense into its pride as a long-established outdoor brand to create clothes that fit the current era. Among the extensive lineup of outerwear, we are particularly looking forward to wearing the down jackets. How should we wear these garments, with their archive-inspired designs and overwhelming cold-weather protection? Daisuke Takashima and his wife Yoshiko Nakayama of FUNagain, a recycle store in Sendagi, Tokyo, which is attracting attention from various fields, show us their styling.

New values born from the intersection of classic and modern.

The shopping street behind Fun Again. Lined with old coffee shops, taverns, delicatessens, and other retro stores, the area is crowded with people during the day, but in the mornings it is quiet and serene.

I like places with a certain flavor rather than places that have been redeveloped and reorganized. There are many families here, and it's easy to spend time here, which is also attractive.

I also love the streetscape of this area. But there is charm in the new things as well, and I think that mixing them together will create interesting value," said Nakayama.

Woolrich Outdoor Label" is also based on the archives of the past, but adds modern techniques and sensibilities to it. The clothes created in this way seem to fit the values that you both talk about. I am curious what you felt when you actually tried on the brand's outerwear.

Nowadays, there are so many things made in an efficient way. However, things from a different era have a good sense of futility, and I think that is where the flavor comes through. Old Japanese chairs are very attractive in design, but they were made with a low seat because people of that time were small in stature. If they are to be used today, it would be better to update them. In this sense, Woolrich Outdoor Label's clothes are made with modern updates, such as using the new Gore-Tex outer material in classic designs, and I think this is what makes them so appealing.

The strength of this brand is that such updates are not too much. If you overdo it, you leave your existing fans behind, but in the case of Woolrich I think Woolrich Outdoor Label is very precise in its judgment. That's why I feel comfortable when I wear them.

Woolrich" skillfully fuses classic and modern styles to create clothing that is in tune with today's mood. Woolrich Outdoor Label". Mr. Takashima and Ms. Nakayama were dressed beautifully in these clothes. Now, what did they keep in mind when styling their final outfit?

The inside of the down parka is green, so I used that as a starting point to match the colors. The breakfast shirt that my friend at the vintage clothing store bought for me is a key point. I like it a lot (laughs). But it's a little sad to wear only cold colors, so I brought a brown cap and shoes as accents.

The color of this coat is charcoal, but if you look closely, you can see that it has a brownish tinge to it, so I picked up that color to create this color coordination. But that alone was not interesting enough, so I added patterned pants.
