A Japanese man recently went viral online for climbing Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia’s highest peak, wearing nothing but a suit and a pair of dress shoes.
The Japanese man, Nobutaka Sada, is a tailor and adventurer who has done other adventurous activities wearing a suit.
Sada was seen decked out in his 3-piece business suit, leather shoes and carrying an office bag, trekking through the rocky trail of Mount Kinabalu.
He eventually reached the summit of the mountain as he took in the breathtaking view from atop the mountain in his suit; meanwhile, the other climbers around him were seen dressed in their cargo pants, hiking shoes and whatnot.
As it turns out, Sada is actually the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Order Suit SADA, the makers of the suit that he was wearing.
Order Suit SAFA is a company that creates customs suits.
Sada posted about his “suited” climb on his Facebook page, saying: “Climbing Mt. Kinabalu, Malaysia’s highest peak in Borneo, Malaysia with SADA’s order suit! Mountain higher than Mt. Fuji at 4095m elevation!”
“In addition, I was able to stay in a hut in the middle of the starlight, climb up a steep climb, and enjoy the light at the top of the mountain!”
“We climbed 2,300m elevation difference in the tropical humidity, and got rained on, but SADA’s order suit kept it level enough to attend business meetings! SADA’s order suit is okay for climbing Mount Kinabalu.”
“This video will be uploaded to the YouTube “I tried it with an order suit” channel, so please watch it!”
“And on the way home, at the immigrant at Kota Kinabalu Airport, suddenly, “Did you climb Kinabalu in that suit?” Someone asked me, I thought what’s up, “I saw it on TikTok!” they said with a smile! I looked it up and the local uploaded a video he took of me to TikTok and gave me a little buzz!”
