The 100-year KIMOU brushed fabric was produced for the first time in 23AW, and we have produced it again this year.
Because it was made approximately 100 years ago, we call this machine the “100 nen KIMOU-KI” (100 years old KIMOU fabric machine).
Many of Kanekichi factory's existing TSURIAMIKI were made approximately 100 years ago, so I think they are a great match for the times.
This 100-year-old KIMOUKI is characterized by its ability to loopwheel (TSURIAMI) without opening the fabric and leaving the knitted fabric in its finished state.
Therefore, the raised surface is not as beautiful as that of today's KIMOUKI, but it can be raised with a “fluffy” feeling like that of a sheep.
Because of this, the feeling of touching the skin is indescribably pleasant.
I hope you will be able to experience it.
The pattern has also been updated in detail from 23AW, we would be glad if you could try it.
Two colors are available: two-tone gray melange combined with an elaborate milling fabric with a slight color difference, and solid navy.
There will be four sizes, from S~XL, and the selling price will be 28,600 yen (tax included). Sales will begin on Wednesday, September 18 at Sendagaya and Thursday, September 19 at Osaka and Fukuoka. We look forward to seeing you at our store!
