Hello, this is Kayaba from the ApparelX trend blog.
This time, we are introducing fabrics from Oharayaseni, which are now newly available for purchase on ApparelX.
Manufacturer page: https://www.apparelx.jp/search.php?maker=166
The head office is a fabric manufacturer in Osaka.
With a focus on Made in Japan quality, they plan and produce fabrics made from natural materials such as linen and wool, making use of the characteristics of regions across Japan.
For their original fabrics, they mainly produce items that take advantage of the distinct features of each production area in Japan, including Omi and Hamamatsu, which are skilled in handling linen textiles, Mitsuke, which has a long history as a yarn dyed production area, and Bishu, famous for wool textiles. They also sell from stock, so small-lot purchases are possible.
When I visited their exhibition in Tokyo, I felt a lot of energy from the many young sales staff members.
The atmosphere was also very different from the exhibitions I usually attend, with hip-hop playing in the background, which made it very enjoyable.
Many manufacturers handle cotton and synthetic fabrics in various ways, but I do not feel there are many manufacturers that stock such a wide variety of linen and especially wool materials.
Also, both the color variations and the texture of the fabrics felt very trendy, which showed their keen sense of style.
Compared with cotton and synthetic materials, linen and wool are relatively expensive, so the prices are a little high, but I think these are fabrics that are worth it.
Here are some of the fabrics.
This is "Japan Linen," made using French Linen, known as high-quality linen, with weaving and processing all done in Japan.
Its feature is a soft, fluffy, washed-looking finish achieved by gently beating and loosening the fabric after dyeing, resulting in a Wash Finish shape.
As you can see from the images, it has a firm crispness, but when touched, it has a soft texture.
* Oharayaseni product numbers differ depending on the color.
The following are different colors with the same quality.
OA21271
60/1・JAPAN LINEN (ecru)
OA21272
60/1・JAPAN LINEN (off white)
This is an eco-conscious fabric using 60/1 linen for the warp and 10/1 recycled wool for the weft.
Recycled wool itself began being produced in Bishu over 100 years ago, reusing cotton waste generated when spinning woolen yarn.
In recent years, it has attracted attention as a circular material with environmental benefits.
By combining it with linen, we have created a fabric that lets you enjoy the rustic feel and memory effect unique to linen.
This fabric uses blended yarn of recycled wool and silk for the warp, and by combining the smooth feel of silk with eco-friendly recycled wool, it has been finished with a tunbler process in Bishu to create a natural atmosphere.
A Bishu-made herringbone suitable for traditional styles, using British-style wool. By applying an aero process, it has a soft and fluffy finish. It is ideal for jackets and more.
We created a traditional check linen that looks like something a British gentleman would wear over his shoulders. The heathered look of the linen top-dyed yarn gives it a sense of depth. This is a linen twill fabric made domestically with a soft finish. It is recommended for classic jackets, shirts, sets, and more.
Lastly
There are many other types of fabrics as well, so please take a look from the manufacturer page.
Thank you very much.
