“How much did you spend on ○○?” “How many ○○ do you have?”
I will never deny it.
However, no matter how much you personally spend on things,
No matter how many you have, you will only use one in the end.
I don't want to carry too many things and have them deteriorate, get stolen, or get lost.
“I want to use good things for a long time.”
No, I completely understand how you feel.
I completely agree with that opinion, but to talk about the obvious,
“So do you take care of it yourself?”
Not only watches, but also clothes, shoes, cars, motorcycles...
Buying things is not the end.
It is the ``beginning'' of a day that will enrich your life from now on.
Even if it's just pocket money or months of salary,
Everything starts from the moment you get it, regardless of the amount.
This is just my personal opinion, but recent items are generally of poor quality.
I think it's important to compare it with what.
Compared to when I started buying things with my own money.
In terms of clothes, if you look at the ¥6,000 T-shirt I bought at a local select shop when I was in the second year of junior high school,
It stretches quickly, gets loose, and is expensive.
I think people are putting a lot of effort into buying Nakabo's 6,000 yen price.
Obviously, I don't have any money, so I wear that T-shirt all the time.
Even so, I was able to wear it until I graduated from high school, so even the T-shirt lasted well.
Nowadays, with the exception of denim and leather, I don't hear much about clothes made of fabric that can be worn for five years.
If you talk about it based on that standard, I think the quality of current products is poor.
But it's also the times, so there's no point in lamenting that.
This time, it's not about that, but whether or not you have the proper "tools" for "maintenance".
I don't remember how many years I've been using these cleaning brushes from Edoya .
Three brushes from the left are for shoes, and the remaining two larger brushes are for clothes.
They are used differently depending on the material and purpose.
By the way, I think this brush cost around 8,000 yen each.
It's expensive if you think about it normally.
But if you really want to use "good things" for "a long time", this is a must-have item.
It is "natural" to have care tools commensurate with the product.
The most expensive piece of clothing I own is a wool and cashmere down coat.
Needless to say, the price is a must for Shimizu diving.
The quality is definitely top notch.
I wear it almost every day this season.
It's so effective at keeping you warm that you won't feel cold even if you wear light clothes underneath.
I like it so much that I bought it.
Be sure to brush your hair every day after using it.
At that time, it's the cashmere brush on the far right.
Wool is hard and will damage the fabric.
It goes without saying that you should always brush your shoes the morning after wearing them.
However, the only maintenance I do for most of the month is brushing.
Use creams etc. once every 2 to 3 months.
Some people say it's better to apply cream regularly,
No matter how much the quality of products these days has deteriorated,
I don't have such dangerous shoes that I have to put cream in that often (lol)
Brushing alone is more than enough care,
Most of the causes of product damage are due to dust and dirt being left unattended.
When requesting professional care, all you need to do is ask a professional.
You just have to do what you can do on a daily basis.
I think I really thought about it when I bought it and really intended to use it for a long time.
In the end, no matter how good the quality is, if you don't take care of it,
This will result in "treasures being wasted".
In addition to using it correctly, you should also take care of it properly.
How particular are you about the tools you use? I think.
However, this does not necessarily mean that the price is high.
There are good and bad quality products,
If you take good care of it, you can maintain its quality.
I don't need many items that I'm attached to.
All you need is just a few high-quality items,
Care goods that can maintain it.
That way you won't have a closet full of stuff.
After that, storage method is just as important as care.
I won't write about it this time, but how to store not only clothes but also leather products is especially important.
If the natural enemy mold grows, the item may have to be discarded for the rest of its life.
In particular, I think that leather products are the items that show the most quality.
If you think it's okay because it's expensive, you'll be in trouble.
Please be careful.
