Three items of markerware.

Hemp fine cloth double collar shirt ¥30,800

Hemp Fine Cloth Peg Top Easy Trousers ¥35,200
The shirt and pants, with a relaxed silhouette but elegantly tailored, are made of hemp fabric, which is as vital as a weed and has a low environmental impact. Hemp is typically coarser and stiffer than linen, but this hemp fabric is as smooth as linen.

Organic Pima Compact 60/2 32G Jersey Tee ¥14,300 each
Pima cotton T-shirt from Peru. The major cotton-producing countries are India, China, and the United States, but Peru is so environmentally conscious that it banned the production of genetically modified crops in 2000, ahead of other countries. Compact yarn, a spinning technique that prevents fluffing, is used to ensure long-lasting wear. Incidentally, although often misunderstood, the texture of organic cotton and cotton fabrics are the same. The difference in texture is due to the twisting and dyeing of the yarn.

Natural Alpaca Fleece Sport Cardigan ¥63,800
Compared to colors such as white and brown, rare black alpaca hair is used without dyeing, thus minimizing water contamination in the production process.
