It is said that there are three elements that make up clothing: color, material, and shape. In the recent fashion scene, the focus of attention on materials has been increasing more than ever before, as "functionality" such as resistance to wrinkling and quick-drying properties are becoming more important.
When it comes to materials, many clothing enthusiasts probably favor natural fibers such as wool and cashmere. However, there are now a number of functional synthetic fibers that even such people may want to reach for.
We were the first to incorporate such functional materials and have been exploring new values in clothing.[SOPHNET.The "Solotex" is a new brand that we have been hearing about here and there lately. This season also featured "Solotex," which we have been hearing about here and there lately.
Developed by Teijin Frontier, this material has excellent elasticity and shape recovery properties, and is softer to the touch than cashmere. Even those who are put off by the feel of synthetic fiber fabrics will be convinced by this material.
In this issue, we introduce a group of items using "Solotex" from the fall/winter 2008 collection. The lineup includes the comfortable everyday wear that people are demanding today.
Originally created as golf wear, this classic swing top blouson has a modern look with a slim silhouette. It is a piece that can be worn with a variety of styles, including American casual, traditional, and military.
In terms of functionality, it combines elasticity and form stability, and the ventilation in the back allows for easy temperature control. The chinstrap, a typical detail of swing tops, adds an accent to the neck and also helps prevent wind and cold.
Stretch wide tapered pants ¥27,000+TAX
Cropped pants with double hems are made of "Solotex® Fur Furan®," a material that does not easily slip out at the knees or wrinkle even after repeated wear. The loose silhouette has a deep crotch and a strong taper from the thighs, so you can wear them loose or high-waisted for a more flattering look.
Stretch wool 2 button jacket ¥52,000+TAX
This two-button jacket is comfortable to wear, easy to care for, and has an elegant look, all of which are necessary for modern urban life. The cuffs are genuine cutouts, while the unconstructed tailoring eliminates shoulder pads, and the three pockets on the front are the best of both casual and formal wear.
The design can be used in everyday life as well as in slightly more formal situations, so it is sure to come in handy if you have one.
Stretch wool slim fit slacks ¥25,000+TAX
These slacks are made of the same stretch wool as the previous jacket and can be used as a set-up. The key feature is the zipper at the hem, which can be opened to transform them into slit pants. This is a detail unique to Sofnet, which never forgets to be playful while maintaining a formal appearance.
This half-zip anorak with an impressive original check features a large front zipped pocket with a flap. Moreover, it is not just a pocket, but a packable version where the main body can be stored.
Speaking of packable, you may be worried about wrinkles, but you don't have to worry about that because the material is equipped with easy-care features. If you keep it in your bag, it will be useful in sudden rain or in the coming season when the temperature varies greatly.
Wide tapered easy pants ¥19,000+TAX
Made of the same material as the anorak, these pants are wrinkle-resistant and easy to handle. With a wide silhouette and elastic waistband, this item is designed for comfort.
The high dye fastness and long-lasting beautiful coloring make it easy to wash without worrying about fading.
By incorporating functionality into fashion, we create comfortable real clothes for urban living. The items that embody this brand philosophy have been completed. Sales will start on September 11 (Fri.), except for some items currently on sale.
