Smooth and soft silk fluffy feeling
Silk from the cocoons made by silk moths has the same value as gold since ancient times and has been distributed along the Asian continent along with culture, race and religion, and the road was named "Silk Road".
As a natural material for luxury clothing, it continues to fascinate people all over the world with its texture and unique luster.
-Characteristics of silk-
Beautiful luster (because the cross section is triangular and reflects light like a prism)
Good to the touch (because the fibers are thin)
Gentle on bare skin (because it is composed of 18 kinds of amino acids similar to human skin)
Cool in summer and warm in winter (low thermal conductivity to protect silk moths)
It is hard to generate static electricity (because it has high moisturizing property)
Suppress UV rays (to protect the silk moths in the cocoons from UV rays)
This time, the silk thread is unique to silk spinning using only the highest grade extra grade raw material, which contains 80% or more of the thread with the best weave, fiber shape, and cleanliness that the silk moth spits out first when making cocoons. It is made by knitting with a thread that has been fluffy (processed to make the entire thread fluffy).
With this one-of-a-kind commitment, we have finished the silk sweatshirt that gives the skin a touch and the finest luster.

Elementary
Made
-A 100% silk stole made by knitting a single extra-fine silk thread tightly and thinly with a knitting machine.
-Since it is a large format, it is easy to arrange, and although it is a transparent fabric, it has elasticity.
-Since it is a knitted fabric rather than a woven fabric, it has a soft and fluffy feel without firmness.
-Due to the characteristics of elastic products that are knitted with a knitting machine, the edges are rounded. Normally, the roundness is suppressed with a lock sewing machine, etc., but if you do so, the soft texture of the silk will be impaired, so we dare to utilize the roundness as it is. Please enjoy the soft and fluffy silk texture of the bare skin around the collar.
● Gray
Gray that you can see just by looking at the luster and texture of silk. I want you to feel it on your bare skin.
● Black
Black with softness and luster in the depth. The jet black that can appeal the sense of luxury at a glance can be felt as "this is silk".
● Dark blue MIX
A MIX color woven with high-quality silk thread that is a mixture of gray and beige in deep blue.
I chose it because I thought it was a color that I often saw when the DC brand was in full bloom in the 1980s. The texture of silk remains the same, and it is a color that shines with individuality in the astringency that is different from a single color.
With that kind of heart ...
We have overcome various challenges by sticking to the limits of the beauty and tenderness of silk threads and sticking to the knitting method.
Everything is just for "a satisfying dish" ...
Every time I touch it, I smile. Feelings are enriched.
I want to make such a sweatshirt.
The stage is Niigata
Mr. Imai is always smiling, but he is actually a "hot man". Sometimes he refuses any big business if he has any doubts.
In spite of that, he is very positive about businesses like this one, which may or may not be profitable.
His "heat" is "a commitment to technology and threads that must be protected" and "a challenge for a new future" that does not stick to existing ones.
I think the staff trusts "Otoko Imai" who has such a strange human odor, and the business partners are attracted to it.
One black silk thread is machine-woven and finished.
Wash the knitted parts once to smooth the fibers and remove excess fibers.after that···
And the parts that are neatly arranged ...

As you know, silk is the highest thread among natural materials. Originally it was an expensive raw material as a high-grade yarn, but the manufacturing cost has risen steadily due to the recent price increase of the raw material so as to make it even more aggressive.
I want to make good things and deliver them to everyone. We must somehow reform the existing distribution.I can't tell you too much about it, but ...
・ It is a distribution route of the conventional apparel industry.
If there are any items left, you have to sell them cheaply on sale. Still, inventory may remain.
We have added that risk to the selling price in order to hedge that risk.
That's why even if you find a good one, it feels expensive.
・ For 100% silk sweat project
A sales plan that cuts distribution channels, is made-to-order, has no loss, and excludes sales that do not produce surplus products.
There is no need to add a selling price for risk hedging.
・ By the way, in the case of this GREEN FUNDING project
It is now possible to return the wholesale portion to retailers to your returns.
Because domestic high-quality yarn is carefully made at domestic factories by enthusiastic Japanese production staff ...
I'm Miyagawa, the creator of this project.
Born in Sapporo, I started working as an apparel maker after graduating from Sapporo University, and at the age of 30, I started importing, wholesale, and retailing imported miscellaneous goods bags. Ten years later, he transferred to his relatives and joined a certain apparel maker again. I worked with Mr. Imai (pictured) at that company.
After that, Mr. Imai retired to succeed Oyanagi Fashion Co., Ltd., a knit manufacturer that had a family business in Niigata. I also retired in 2019 and became the representative control of REASON Co., Ltd., an apparel wholesaler, retailer, and web marketing company.
As the flow of people is cut off due to the influence of the new coronavirus that will continue from 2020, and the lights of the city are steadily extinguishing, the fashion industry is also expected to undergo a drastic change in business style.
Talk with Mr. Imai with the common understanding that "If you do the same thing as before, you will perish."
"Let's leave it to the major companies to make a lot and sell cheaply. We carefully make high-quality domestically produced materials in Japan, deliver them to customers who can share the value, and create a style that makes everyone smile. build up."
Then this project was decided.
Due to budget constraints, I was ashamed to become a model myself and took a lot of pictures to reconfirm the comfort of silk.
On top of that, it's really comfortable to wear, rather than just saying it in business! !! I would love to share this joy with you.
"If you really wear it, you will feel kind."
I hope you trust me.
Thank you for your support.
Finally, the staff of Oyanagi Fashion Co., Ltd., who politely respond to my many unreasonable requests and convey the desire to make good products.
He took good pictures on a low budget, but he is raising hurdles to amateur model opponents like me (laughs) My friend's cameraman Kaoru Chiba (commonly known as Gray).
Don't forget my wife who was dragged into the shoot.
She's always a big talk, but she's a partner KENJI who offers good ideas.
And Mr. Murata of GREEN FUNDING who made this project a reality.
Thank you for your cooperation in preparing the project. Thank you very much.
In this project, unlike products made by cutting cloth in the state of normal fabric, sweat fabric is knitted from one thread, so there is little loss of fabric during cutting and work to minimize dust is done. Made possible.
And we use only natural fiber "silk" without using chemical fiber made from petroleum.
Furthermore, in order to eliminate unsold losses, we considered the future environment using a build-to-order manufacturing method ...
We will use the brand name of this project as "Elegarea", which was founded in 1998 as a sole proprietor of wholesale and retail with friends.
An era when there are no smartphones yet. We created an online PC shop and opened it at Rakuten Ichiba, which is on sale, and enjoyed selling bags and accessories surrounded by warm customers. I still remember tears when I received a lot of warm messages when I closed the site to change the business format due to various reasons. Thank you so much.
At that time I was unfamiliar with PCs. This logo was made by cutting and pasting the copied font and drawing a frame with a compass and a ruler.Smile
It miraculously remained as data.
"ELEG AREA" will be restarted with the meaning of regaining the young passion of those days.
We look forward to your continued support as well as thank you and report to our former customers.
Silk is said to be a delicate fiber. However, since you are proposing room clothes, you want to do the laundry yourself.
The silk sweatshirt series you are looking at has already been washed once to remove excess dust and give it a texture during the manufacturing process.
There is no doubt about dry cleaning, but please try to wash it yourself.
[① Hand wash]
Make washing liquid with a washbasin
Fill the washbasin with water and add the appropriate amount of detergent (fashionable detergent).
Put clothes in and wash
Wash with an awareness of "gentle and quick". All you have to do is press and release within 30 seconds.
Rinse
Refill the basin with clean water and rinse until the bubbles are gone.
Put it in the washing net and dehydrate it
Fold it lightly into the washing net and dehydrate it in the washing machine for about 3 minutes.
Towel dry
Take a large bath towel, put your clothes on it, pinch it in, and remove the water.
Be sure to stretch it lightly and dry it flat or in the shade.
[② Washing machine]
Fold it up and put it on the net
Fold the clothes and put them in the washing net. It is effective to make the part where the dirt is conspicuous come to the outside.
Hand wash / dry course
Add a fashionable detergent and wash in a gentle wash course such as "hand wash" or "dry" mode. You can add fabric softener if you like. Dehydration time is short, only about 3 minutes. Be sure to stretch it lightly and dry it flat or in the shade.
[Digression]
The staff of Oyanagi Fashion Co., Ltd. tried to spin the sample in the washing machine at home in the normal mode, dehydrate it normally, and wash it.
As a result of lightly stretching and drying on a flat surface ...
No change in texture, luster or size was found before and after washing.
Then, I would like to say "Please wash normally !!", but I cannot recommend it with confidence as a maker due to durability, deterioration over time, performance of the washing machine, etc. (2) Washing machine] is recommended.
We will inform you when we can collect data and make proposals with confidence.
[Storage method]
Due to the characteristics of the soft material, if you hang it on a hanger, it may leave marks on the shoulder, so it is recommended to fold it and store it.
For long-term storage, store it in a place that is not exposed to direct sunlight or fluorescent lights. I think it is even better to use an insect repellent in a well-ventilated and dry place.
【others】
The silk thread used for this silk sweatshirt has been uniquely fluffy to enhance its texture.
You can enjoy the soft touch and texture, but as seen in natural wool and cashmere, pilling may occur depending on the frequency of use and wearing method, although there are individual differences.
If you are worried about the occurrence of pills, please carefully remove them with a fabric shaver.
We are still discussing with the manufacturer whether the current shape is the best for better manufacturing. Therefore, there is a possibility that some detailed designs and specifications may change during the project. In addition, we are currently adjusting the manufacturing schedule based on the number assuming that the project will be successful, but we may not be able to accept requests for support that exceeds expectations. If there is a change in the content described on the project page as described above, we will share it in the activity report one by one. Finally, all the team members will do their utmost to make everyone happy when they pick up the [SILK 100% Sweatshirt] product. Thank you for your support.
