Mount Kinabalu is one of the most well-known tourist places in Malaysia. It has a breathtaking view of a canyon slowly being lit up by the sun for people who climb it before sunrise.
Now, a Japanese tailor has climbed up and down the famous mountain in a business suit. It has left Malaysians amazed.
Nobutaka Sada runs a chain of stores selling business suits in Japan. A mountain porter uploaded a video clip of the tailor making a quick run down the mountain on Borneo island. He even wore formal shoes and carried a briefcase.
"He's rushing off to his next meeting," read one comment on the video, which got more than 13,800 likes.
Sada talked about his experience scaling Malaysia's highest mountain wearing his company's "order suit".
"We climbed 2,300 metres in the tropical humidity, and got rained on, but Sada's order suit kept it level enough to attend business meetings," he wrote after the climb.
He bragged about his brand, saying: "Our order suit is OK for climbing Mount Kinabalu."
The tailor slept at a hut near the summit before climbing to the top in time for sunrise.
Sada said he was pleasantly surprised when he was making his way back to Japan at Kota Kinabalu airport, when a passenger told him they had seen the video of him doing the mountain trek in the same suit.
Sada likes performing outdoor sports in suits. He regularly shares videos of his exploits.
From fishing to skiing and even scuba diving, the plucky tailor is never seen without one of his many different suits.
One of his videos shows Sada getting into a spectacular crash at the end of a ski jump, only for him to stand up to show that he, and his suit, are all right!
