Next is the Relax Fit Sweatshirt, based on the LW313 pattern and specially tuned for Silk Wool Cotton. It’s scheduled to arrive in Sendagaya on Friday, November 8, in Osaka on Saturday, November 9, and in Fukuoka on Sunday, November 10.

Available in Beige and Grey Melange, in sizes S to L, priced at 52,800 yen (tax included). Silk has a unique property of moisture absorption and heat generation—essentially warming up as it absorbs moisture from the body. Test data from public research institutions shows that the fabric’s temperature rises by 3.2 to 4.8 degrees Celsius within 7 minutes, providing warmth, especially in winter. Conversely, silk also has high moisture release, quickly absorbing and releasing body moisture (like sweat or vapor) to keep you cool in summer. Data indicates that its moisture absorption and release rate is 28 times that of polyester. Additionally, silk has deodorizing effects, eliminating components that cause body odor, such as ammonia, acetic acid, isovaleric acid, and nonenal, reducing them by over 96%. Furthermore, it has UV-blocking properties that absorb ultraviolet rays. I am once again reminded of how remarkable silk truly is as a material. For those who have placed an order, we look forward to welcoming you for pick-up at your convenience. Thank you very much!
