Fishing in the city can be fashionable.
How did you feel when you were asked to wear "Fish Local"?
Takahashi: When I heard that BlueBlue was starting an apparel business, I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much. Fishing and outdoor wear from fishing and outdoor manufacturers is all about functionality, and coolness is not secondary. However, the quality exceeded my expectations. First of all, the silhouette is outstanding. Basically, outdoor brand wear has a narrow silhouette. But "Fish Local" has a silhouette that can be worn on the street.
The lineup can be worn both outdoors and in town.
Takahashi: It's urban, isn't it? It's a small detail, but I like the double-zip pockets on shell jackets~. If it is vintage clothing, I often see double zips used for side ventilation, but not many use them for pockets. It's convenient to open them from either side.
FL 3-Layer Fishing Jacket ¥66,000, , FL 3-Layer Detachable Fishing Pants ¥60,500, , FL Bucket Hat Bag ¥12,100
FL 3-Layer Fishing Jacket ¥66,000, , FL × OWNMILS_Izanami ¥23,100
FL 3-Layer Fishing Jacket ¥66,000, , FL Bucket Hat Bag ¥12,100, , FL × OWNMILS_Sif ¥14,850
That's a very thoughtful detail.
Takahashi: Also, I love that the shell jacket has the logo on the sleeve, not on the chest.
Yamamoto: That's what I thought too. The one-point logo on the chest is not to everyone's taste, but on the sleeve, it's nice and simple.
Takahashi: It is also nice that the embroidery is on a part that is not visible once the zipper is closed.
Inner moat: It's cute that you can see it when you open it.
Yamamoto: It's not just the design, of course; it's also comfortable to wear, and I was able to squeeze the drawcord at the hem to create the silhouette I like.
Takahashi: I really like the detachable shell jacket and set-up pants that detach below the knee to become shorts.
Mr. Takahashi wore a T-shirt, and Ms. Yamamoto and Mr. Uchibori wore long T-shirts.
Takahashi: I like the thick armholes. It is easy to move my arms when fishing.
Yamamoto: NOTICE Y(OUR) I liked the phrase LOCAL. I was reminded today that even in a city you know, there are new things to notice.
Inner moat: I'm on the shorter side among girls, but I thought the size was just right.
Takahashi: Haruka's long T. I like the color.
Inner moat: Yes, yes, it was cute. The hat was cute too.
The hat can also be used as a sakosh, which I think is convenient.
Inner moat: It's a great idea, isn't it? I thought it was cute and very easy to use as a sakosh.
Takahashi: I want to make the same hat in our store (laughs). It was easy to wear because it didn't feel constrictive.
What do you usually wear when fishing?
Takahashi: I guess I use old clothes, but choose new shells. It is almost the same as my regular clothes.
Yamamoto: In summer, I wear T-shirts, shorts, and beeswax. Sometimes I wear comfortable clothes made of functional materials, and sometimes I wear old clothes.
So you both feel like an extension of your everyday clothes.
Takahashi: As long as it has the necessary specs, the rest is all about design. You don't want to fish in a dowdy outfit.
Yamamoto: If you are going to fish in the Sumida River, you want to wear something fashionable because you can play before and after.
Takahashi: It's not that I want anyone to think I'm fashionable, but I want to wear clothes I like. Haruka is the same way, right?
Inner moat: Yes, it is. It is important to start from the beginning (laughs).
-We still wanted to enjoy fishing, but we came to "Token," which is located near the Sumida River. This is a running station with a sauna attached, and they also sell craft beer and other alcoholic beverages. Yamamoto-san and Uchibori-san are sauna enthusiasts.
Inner moat: That's right. I like it so much that I go on sauna trips with my friends.
Yamamoto: I hear there is a water bath with less than 10 degrees Celsius. I would like to go in.
You walk around and fish all day long. It would be nice to refresh your tired body in the sauna.
Inner moat: It is nice to be able to end the day with a sauna. I think it can be enjoyed by both men and women.
How was your day playing around the Sumida River?
Yamamoto: Since I live in Kanagawa, I would rather spend a whole day there than just come for a quick visit, since there are so many different spots that one day is not enough time.
Takahashi: There are so many places to go and I'd love to fish at more different points. I'm glad my wife's parents are close by.
Inner moat: We had a full day and night of fun. We went to a cafe, fished, and took a sauna. It would be great to have such a date plan.
