The warp and weft threads are made of 100% hemp yarn produced by the Italian manufacturer Linificio. Although it is a thick fabric, it is woven in a twill weave, so it is characterized by its tight weave and suppleness. Hemp is a strong fiber, but as it ages it gradually becomes more comfortable against the skin, and you can enjoy the change in texture from hemp to cotton. The cool feel that is characteristic of hemp continues even after repeated washing, making it comfortable to wear even in midsummer. For the history of hemp cloth, please refer to the article by Shinichiro Yoshida, director of the Modern Linen Cloth Research Institute , and for the differences between hemp, ramie, and flax, please refer to the article by Boken . Almost all parts have a linear pattern, and the structure is very flat, so it naturally fits most body types like a kimono. The front placket and hem are usually sewn with separate parts, but they are made of one piece, giving it a simple design. The buttons are all hand-sewn using tachi shells.
