"Pleats Jacket"
A pleated jacket inspired by a simple house brand item from a bygone era.
To make it easy to store various small items and easy to carry, all the I designed the blanket to be large.
Fabric: " MAX HIGH COUNT HEMP "
This original material is woven on an old-fashioned loom at a historic weaving mill in the Boshu region. It's a plain weave using thick hemp yarn in both warp and weft, woven to the absolute maximum density. After weaving, a nido-mu process (a type of shrinkage treatment) is applied, causing the fabric to shrink significantly and creating a textured surface. The rubbing of the fabric during this process softens the surface nap, resulting in a smooth, almost velvety feel. While the high-density weave initially creates a stiff fabric like canvas, the nido-mu process gives it the texture of aged cloth, as if it has been cherished for many years.
