The weave density is extremely high, giving it a very fine, moist texture and a substantial, firmly structured feel.
It is something you can only sense in habutae cloth, a premium material.
This is clearly reflected in its appearance as well, with an elegant, refined sheen that is not flashy.
A simple cross tie with reliable quality will make you into a sophisticated adult.
You can wear it with confidence at any formal occasion, including royal events, award ceremonies, social gatherings, receptions, weddings, and concerts.
The habutae cloth used here is woven at a small textile workshop in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, one of Japan’s leading silk-producing regions. Fujiyoshida is a historic production area that began in the Heian period. This land, where spring water from Mt. Fuji flows, has the clean water needed for good dyeing.
In the weaving process, Yamamoto’s blended habutae cloth uses as many as 13,000 warp threads in a width of only 47 cm, and the weft uses a 120-denier yarn twisted double for an astonishing 240-denier thickness.
By weaving slowly on shuttle looms, the fabric retains air, creating a three-dimensional texture, and craftsmen constantly inspect it for any defects. Under strict quality control, craftsmen handle dyeing, yarn making, warp preparation, and weaving separately, all to create the best possible product for our customers.
This is the product we recommend with the greatest confidence and pride.
