00:00Hey guys, another video for our Fashion in Japan playlist, and today it's Workman Fashion.
00:05So we're at the home center, and they have these jackets that we spoke about in a recent video,
00:10have built-in fans, battery-operated built-in fans that puff up your jacket and help keep you cooler
00:21for about $50, a variety of those.
00:30And then over here, ninja wear.
00:32So these skin-tight, UV-resistant clothes are really popular amongst the workmen.
00:42Dress up like a ninja and go to work.
00:45Bye dear, I'm off to work.
00:47About $7 for a ninja outfit.
00:50So it's supposed to be keep the sun off is the idea.
00:54Arm covers.
00:58Interestingly, interestingly, they don't look quite as butch in real life as they do
01:02on these packaging images with these buff-looking models.
01:11They don't look quite the same when you put them on the dudes out on the work sites.
01:17And the leg covers.
01:18But yeah, really, really common.
01:19You see workmen all the time wearing all this stuff.
01:24There's an adjustable one.
01:26Look, you can look like a ninja.
01:27I'll just put it around your neck.
01:31So again, we made a video about protecting yourself from the sun recently.
01:35It is a serious thing.
01:36So if any of this helps, obviously it's worth doing.
01:40Oh yeah, these sweat wipes are really popular.
01:44If you get sweaty, you can wipe the sweat off with one of those sweaty wipes.
01:50Oh, check this out.
01:51Check this out.
01:53It's an umbrella that you can wear like a hat.
01:57It's for about $6 it is.
02:00So I'd probably keep the sun off pretty well.
02:02Probably wouldn't want any wind.
02:04Wind could be the natural enemy of the umbrella hat, couldn't it?
02:12I've always wanted a sombrero in Japanese summer.
02:16It'd be a really practical thing to have, keeping the sun off.
02:20Oh yeah, bugs.
02:21As we mentioned in previous videos, Japanese people really don't like bugs.
02:26So hats that have built-in nets to keep the bugs away.
02:29Are very popular.
02:31Gloves.
02:31Yeah, we talked about that before.
02:32You can't go outside without gloves.
02:36Variety of hats, including the one that's very popular with the old unskilled gardener.
02:42And then this traditional one.
02:45These are all cheap too, by the way.
02:47$6 or $7 each.
02:49And you still see guys out there wearing those.
02:52They're quite practical.
02:54Keeping the sun off.
02:57So, there it was.
02:59Some Japanese workman fashion at the local home center.
03:04More videos, coming soon.
03:07Mmm.
03:07Mmm.
