I like importing!　L.L.Bean BOAT AND TOTE

This week is Sandy blog.


L.L.Bean will start handling at our store this year

If you like clothes, it is a long-established outdoor brand that has been around for more than 100 years in the United States.

There are many anecdotes in the history of 100 years, but 100 pairs of shoes come back as 90 pairs of B items, people who are good at making duck decoy are actually inside the company, The success story that overcomes many difficulties as the family starts gradually expanding the sales channel, such as complimenting a knife. Just as NIKE's internal story became a movie, it's an interesting company even if it's a movie! The title is right.…"Outdoor Downtown"?

Personally, Okazaki, who worked as a store staff before and is still struggling overseas to realize his dream, was impressed as an unusually favorite brand.

L.L. Bean has many such enthusiastic fans, but my encounter with him is "Boat and Thoth" introduced this time.
That's right. I joined Stockman for the first time and worked for the Fujisawa store now.

I met Mr. K who previously served as the manager at Chofu store! What Mr. K loved was this boat and Thoth, just size WALLAWALLA baseball T, JB's kitchen pants and feet with Danner Light, and this Thoth carrying this Thoth in a simple style.…I still remember it very mature and cool.

From there, I learned in a magazine that at that time this tote bag was originally made to buy and carry ice, and I was a day pack rubber until then starving for tote bag. I couldn't handle it at the time, so I was trying to buy Overland Canvas Thoth as a mystery. Bicycles and mopeds were immediately figurines for transportation.…

But when I write this blog, it's great to check out this tote bag again! First, it was born in the 1940s as a bag used to carry a lump of ice, and since the 1970s when it entered Japan as a fashion, there are some changes in detail, even though there are some changes in the details! It is still made at its own factory in Maine, and it is said that it has passed a 226kg durability test.

…226kg is why this number? I don't have it if I put it in like that, ww seems to be made in the United States.

This time, in two sizes of M.L, the color of the handle is black, dark blue, and green, but the M size is ¥9,900. Even in L, it is quite conscientious considering the current price increase rate of imported items at ¥11,000.

I'm honestly happy to be able to buy a United States-made at this price among imported items that increase year by year for various reasons! And even if it’s something I’ve been admiring for more than 10 years.…

Was he born and raised in a small island country? We, who have a strange admiration for things from Nanban for a long time, are weak not as w fashion items, but with the simple appearance and brevlet made as tools, the individual differences are intensely rough. You can imagine the place where the 24 oz really hard canvas fabric becomes soft and attaches, so you can meditate your eyes for some inconvenience and keep using it.

Rather, we Japanese excel in devising difficult-to-use and making it easier to use. Isn't it a good idea to go backwards in this way to a world where everything becomes more and more convenient?

I'm aiming for M size because this M size is just right on my knee when I sit in the seat when I work on a train. The green that I wanted the most went out in front of me.…I'd like to make it navy.
