Worn very few times. This is a Maison Kinema hoodie from the popular YouTuber Takahiro Kawashima. It's great as an inner layer for this season, and it looks cool worn on its own in the spring. - Color: Black - Size: M - Material Main fabric: 100% cotton (sweatshirt material) Ribbing: 95% cotton / 5% polyurethane Uses densely woven heavy-weight loopback fabric made with open-end yarn. Usually, loopback fabric with open-end yarn is only used for the face yarn, but this fabric intentionally uses open-end yarn for both the face and middle yarns to enhance the dry-touch feel. On the other hand, the middle yarn is also a left-hand twist open-end yarn, resulting in loopback fabric with a slight bias, giving it a casual feel. Because the fabric is woven on an Azuma knitting machine (a rare, old-fashioned sinker knitting machine), the fabric is more densely woven than with regular machines, giving it a vintage feel. Production location: Black: Knitter: Wakayama, Dyeing factory: Wakayama, Sewing factory: Kyoto Gray Heather: Knitter: Wakayama, Dyeing factory: Gifu Prefecture The embroidery uses the "sagara" embroidery technique, which creates a three-dimensional finish. This is a highly skilled and time-consuming technique that was used in traditional Japanese clothing. Recently, it's used in special items like award jackets and other commemorative items in casual clothing. Compared to regular embroidery, the three-dimensionality of the design varies depending on the skill of the technician, making it a high-cost process for both the pattern and the embroidery itself. This time, the embroidery was done by veteran technicians, and although the design is simple, it has an impactful finish with a sense of volume. The ribbing is also completely custom-made, using the same yarn to match the custom fabric mentioned above, and is completely original, made to be almost twice as thick as usual. The kickback strength is also made to be strong enough to withstand the thickness of the main body. The ribbing is also generously used in the underarm area of the hoodie. - Pattern Making Made in an oversized fit, typical of Maison Kinema.
