As the distance between fashion and fishing rapidly approaches these days, numerous products have been released and are gaining popularity. This time, BEAMS has released a special-order collection focusing on such "fishing.
The partner is Columbia's fishing wear line "Performance Fishing Gear", also known as "PFG". This is the first special order in Japan.
Columbia's roots can be traced back to the fishing vests that Gert Boyle, former chairman of Columbia Sportswear, made on his sewing machine at home for his husband and friends who loved fishing.
In that sense, this collection is a return to the basics, with four types of jackets, shorts, T-shirts, and caps made from molds based on past archives.
Jacket ¥24,000+TAX
The jackets are based on the "Logriver Jacket" and "Mckenzie Parka" that were developed in the 1990s.
Six flap pockets of different sizes are placed on the front for a unique fishing wear finish. The thin, lightweight nylon body is treated with a durable water repellent DWR finish for both comfort and functionality.
With a modern design that does not give the impression of wildness, it is sure to be an excellent choice for street wear.
Shorts ¥11,000+TAX
The jacket and matching shorts incorporate the pocket detail used in the "Mckenzie Parka.
The above-the-knee length makes it easy to move around and should come in handy when running or cycling, for example. Why not get one in advance of summer?
T-shirt ¥5,900+TAX
Cap ¥4,900+TAX
The T-shirt features bold original graphics of freshwater and saltwater fish on the back. The sweat-absorbent and quick-drying material makes it comfortable to wear.
Cap with Omni-Shield durable water repellent finish. Side-mounted pockets accent the design.
The special-order collection, which follows Columbia's unique technology cultivated in the outdoor scene, is now available in men's sizes at BEAMS and women's sizes at BEAMS BOY.
