Worn by three Ueda Ayumu, Nanga.

NANGA" has gained a high reputation for its highly functional down items derived from sleeping bags. Today, NANGA is loved not only by outdoor enthusiasts, but also by a wide range of people in a variety of situations. In this issue, we asked three people who are active in different fields to wear a standard down jacket and focus on their styles.

Which one is your true self...? Enjoy and explore.

As you may have guessed from reading through the article, all three of them were Mr. Ueda, who has three different faces, and who brought out the various aspects of Nanga's appeal from various angles.

From here, we relaxed our shoulders and asked him about "Nanga" and his future plans.

The "Nanga" cap he is wearing is an original embroidered cap made by Mr. Ueda. With this in mind, I would like to reiteratefirst entryI would like you to read the following.

- You have worn two Nanga models in three colors this time, how did you like them?

Although I am from the same hometown, this is the first time I have worn it, and it is really warm! As one would expect from a place born in Yonehara, the mecca of down quilts, I was rather fond of the Aurora Light Down Jacket. If anything, I liked the Aurora Light Down Jacket better, since the Aurora Light Down Jacket can be worn comfortably in size XL. It was lightweight but had a high down content, and it was fuzzy and comfortable to wear. And the pockets are easy to use. Hmmm I think I'll hold off on a few pairs of sneakers and buy this down....

- This time, we are presented with three different aspects of the artist: "comedian," "sneaker collector," and "embroidery artist. I was able to see three different sides of him.

I am a comedian at heart, so I want to be popular with my stories, and I want to do more different kinds of work. However, I think it's time for me to learn my place in the world! I also think that it's time for me to get a little more serious.

- That's quite a harsh self-analysis (laughs).

Fashion is more of a hobby than a job, so even if I stop being a comedian, I don't think I will ever stop loving clothes. . Even if I don't have any money, I can't stop wanting things. . I am sure that I will continue to buy sneakers that I want, consulting with my wallet and setting my sights on the sneakers I want.

And to think....

- . I am most passionate about embroidery.

Yes, it is. The work itself is hard, but the number of events and pop-ups is gradually increasing, and I think it is taking shape now more than ever. I don't think it will be popular with everyone, but I hope it will reach people who like it. I want to do more embroidery, I can't quit fashion, and I want to sell as a comedian. In other words, it would be best if I could express all three of my faces at once (laughs).
