Clearly, these two items give off an air of being more than just a sweatshirt.

The outer fabric is made of a yarn with a suspension lining that was created by analyzing vintage fabrics from the 1950s, and can only be knitted at a slow speed of about one meter per hour, which means that the yarn is not subjected to unnecessary stress. This allows the yarn to be knitted only slowly, at a speed of about one meter per hour, without putting extra strain on the yarn.

The color is not simply black, but is product-dyed from a wooden gray to achieve an original color that can only be achieved with a special order. In keeping with the vintage look, the color is hand-dyed by craftsmen to express unevenness in color and damage over time.

The zip parka is a reproduction of a vintage item from around the 1950s, featuring the same size pigeonholes as those used in those days, which are hard to find in Japan, as well as hip pockets sewn with a four-needle sewing machine, a characteristic of vintage style.

The crew neck sweatshirt has a vintage-style design with freedom sleeves, and the shoulder sloping angles and sleeve line curves have been adjusted to prevent it from becoming wild.

Furthermore, both items are designed in a collapsed silhouette by reproducing the thin, stretched, loose ribs of vintage garments. On the other hand, the body width and arms are cropped with a firm volume, giving the impression of croppedness, which is a balance that cannot be found in vintage items.

Sales will begin on Saturday, October 5. A fierce competition is expected, so if you are interested, please check the information below!
