Keep it long, treasure it long.

Both softness and toughness

For those who want to find a classic outfit that can be used for a long time regardless of fashion, we recommend the French marine border brand Kanell's cut-and-sew. By using high-quality cotton and knitting it over time, it has a soft and fluffy feel, and is durable enough to keep its shape even when worn for a long time.

Ingenuity to wear for a long time

If you have been using the cut-and-sew for a long time, you will be worried about the neck area. Sometimes it gets twisted every time you wash it, but Kanell's cut-and-sew is designed to reduce that worry as much as possible. The point is the triangular stitching on the shoulder, which is thicker than the other parts. This part is reinforced by layering the fabric and sewing to make it difficult to stretch. It seems that it is a sewing method created from many years of experience and technology of marine wear.

100% cotton cut and sewn BONAPARTE is made from a tight, tight fabric called VINTAGE JERSEY. The characteristic of this fabric is its weight. More than 20% more cotton than Basque shirts, which are generally called heavy weights, is woven firmly using a flat knitting machine. The knitted fabric is woven tightly to the utmost limit, and while the knitted fabric is heavy, it has a durable finish that combines the softness peculiar to a flat knitting machine. The more you wash, the tighter the stitches, and the more you wash it, the more it changes to a dry touch, which is full of fun in aging.

The cut-and-sew BONAPARTE has a size that fits your body reasonably well. Compared to the cut-and-sew MIDSHIP, it has a slightly looser width. The size that is just right without being too big is a cut-and-sew that you want to use habitually for a long time regardless of fashion or age, and once you wear it, you will want to arrange it in different colors.

In search of ideal marine wear

Brittany is located in northwestern France. Pierre Brest, a young man living there, works as a salesman for multiple apparel makers and has great potential for a horizontal striped knit sweater, one of France's most iconic marine wear, which has been loved by sailors at the time. I was feeling the sex. At that time, no manufacturer was commercializing this sweater.

While continuing to be his salesman, Pierre set up a private company called Kanell Industriel, bought a used knitting machine from a factory he knew, and started his own production. Through trial and error, the prototype of the model with the details that are still inherited is born. This model was lowered and his own brand Kanell was started in 1923. This was also the moment when the oldest marine border maker was born in Brittany. After that, it grew to the point where it even provided French military uniforms. Over time, with the birth of various marine wear brands, we restarted in 2020 to embody the ideal marine wear that Pierre envisioned.
