The Original Brand "T SPEC GEAR" by Popular Stylist Proposes a New Standard in Choosing Items

In recent years, due to the outdoor boom, a variety of outdoor-related items transcending genre boundaries have appeared on the market, from lifestyle to fashion.
 
As outdoor gear and items continue to diversify, various independent standards set by organizations for use in harsh environments, such as the US Department of Defense's MIL-SPEC or its British counterpart, UK Defence Standardization, exist to give their stamp of approval for authenticity in terms of robustness and durability.
 
One brand catching attention by referencing such "standards" from the perspective of outdoor and fashion-related new standards is the brand "T SPEC GEAR," launched by stylist Kenichi Taira.
 
We spoke with Taira about the philosophy behind the brand name, their approach to product creation, and the representative items that reflect this new standard called "T SPEC."

Delivering Authenticity Inspired by the Best of Outdoor and Fashion

T SPEC GEAR is a brand that was just born in April 2021. It is a standard created based on the knowledge Taira has cultivated in the fashion and outdoor scenes, offering a "new perspective on choosing items." The items of this brand, which possess a reliable function and advantage in both activities and fashion, have become a hot topic not only in the outdoor industry but also in the fashion industry.
 
We asked Taira about the background and reasons for proposing this T SPEC.
 
"I started T SPEC GEAR because I wanted to combine the good aspects of both fashion brands and outdoor brands into one. Looking at the current fashion industry, most of the items that actually sell, whether they are fast fashion or high brands, boast functionality. This is partly because materials have evolved with time, but also because functional properties such as stretch and robustness that are valued in the outdoors have become quite common.
