Please tell us what you think of the items when you actually wear them.
It's super warm. I chose a merino wool knit this time, but I usually wear a merino wool T-shirt. I also wrap merino wool around my head when I am working on the farm. . It doesn't stink and dries quickly, so it's very useful.
The shoes are comfortable. . and they are easy to dry, yet warm in winter. . The fact that they can be washed in their entirety is also a blessing for those of us who are covered in dirt.
What about the design aspect?
It was simple, and I thought it was really nice. When I was working in the fashion industry, I heard from buyers around the world why Japanese designers' clothes were having a hard time selling, and they said, "It's complicated and hard to wash. . In fact, clothes that have to be carefully hand-washed and detergent-careful are hard to wash. In that aspect, cardigans are less likely to stink thanks to merino wool, and shoes are easy to handle because they can be washed in their entirety.
What are the key points of coordination?
The point is all about simplicity. . I usually only wear simple things. I used to wear this and that, but as I get older, I am getting simpler and simpler.
What is important to you when choosing clothes?
. the emphasis is on being able to wear it for a long time. I don't want to have something that I can't wear for a long time. I try to pass on to my juniors the clothes I used to wear that are in good condition.
Do you usually do something environmentally friendly?
I try to wear clothes to the limit, and when they are somewhat old, I use them as farming clothes. . At my farm, I try to buy only the minimum necessary amount of new things. If we buy too many things, we will have a garbage problem when we throw them away. . I also receive various tools from retired people in my neighborhood, and they let me use them instead of paying for repairs.
