What will Half Ten Canterbury bring to us? | feature

. I think that if we could look good in everyday clothes, the Japanese national team would be seen differently. (Yamanaka)

Fujii:As for clothing other than uniforms, for example, the bench coat I mentioned earlier, if it is cool, you can go home without changing it. That's what the name "half-ten" means. I wanted to be able to wear the same outfit in all scenes.

In the mountains:It would be nice if that would happen.

Fujii:Yes, I thought it would be easier if that changed. It is a hassle to get dressed up after every match, isn't it?

In the mountains:Yes . For the match against France, all the players wore suits to the game. I thought it was cool when I saw the pictures later, but I think the Japanese national team would look different if they were more stylish in their everyday clothes.

Do the clothes you brought today have the same size as Yamanaka's?

Fujii:Yes, I'm a 4, which would be a 2XL.

In the mountains:It's soft and nice , this fabric.

Fujii:. It is stretchy and the surface that touches the skin is exposed. . The feature is that it is a long T, but the cuffs and other parts are made like a shirt, so it looks a little crisp.

In the mountains:It looks cool when worn up or down. So this is the logo of "Half Ten Canterbury"?

Fujii:Yes, that's right. Canterbury's rugger shirts always have a three-stitch reinforcement called a "three-bar tuck. . The print is a special print that is also used on the uniforms. The print is a special one that is also used on the uniforms, and one of the features is that "Canterbury" is not printed anywhere on it (laughs).

In the mountains:Can I try it on?

Fujii:By all means.

In the mountains:Oh! It's nice. It's easy to move around.

The size seems to be just right.

In the mountains:Pants are often tight when I sit down, but these are stretchy, so I don't mind at all. They are quite comfortable.

Fujii:The darts on the knees also make it easier to move around. I think they go well with the New Balance sneakers you are wearing today.

They also go well with this kind of hyped-up footwear. I feel this is typical of Mr. Fujii, who also has an affinity with street brands.

Fujii:I have been exposed to such things for a long time. By the way, I went to see the France game the other night with Jonio (Jun Takahashi) of Undercover, and that was the first time I learned that he likes rugby.

In the mountains:Wow! By the way, I went to a Moncler event after the World Cup, and Hiroshi Fujiwara was there and took a picture with me, and when we talked, he told me that he used to play rugby. I was surprised.

Fujii:Eh! In your teens or something? But then again, there are actually a lot of rugby fans in the fashion industry.

In the mountains:I would be happy if that were the case.

. I think we are talking about different industries in which we have mutual interests, so there is a lot of fresh information to be found here.

Fujii:. I've always had the sense that I want people who love fashion but are into different things to wear it, rather than people in the fashion industry.

In the mountains:I see.

Fujii:In the past, I used to have a strong feeling of "what I want to wear! Some people say, "There is a culture behind it," but I now believe that it is better if the people who wear the clothes create the culture.

In the mountains:I am very happy to be approached by such a person. It is rare to have such an opportunity to hear such stories, and I felt that making clothes is a very deep field.

I think the link between Mr. Fujii and rugby will become stronger in the future.

Fujii:Yes, that's right. Next year is the World Cup, so I've been thinking about how to set up a show at Halften Canterbury for that. I also want to go to France (laughs).

In the mountains:(Laughs) . We will have another national team competition in the fall, and the competition is fierce, but of course I want to make it to the World Cup next year, so I have to do my best. The young players are growing and becoming a good team, so please keep your eyes on us.

Fujii:I am looking forward to it! Please wear the new one , when it's ready.

In the mountains:Thank you very much!
