What is the origin of the number of borders?

When reading various documents in France, the holy land of marine borders, there is a theory that there are meanings and restrictions on the number of borders that color the marine border. It is related to the 36 victories of Napoleon, who created the foundation of modern warfare, and is still worshiped today. In 1858, when the French army officially adopted the marine border, which has been loved as a uniform for sailors for a long time, as a uniform for lower-ranking soldiers, 21 stripes were used on the body and 15 stripes on the sleeves to pay homage to Napoleon's records. It is said that the official marine border is said to be the one with a total of 36 borders. (The number is counted from the thick side)

However, this regulation is a lot of trouble for producers, and they have to adjust the width of the border according to the size of the clothes. It is difficult to realize due to the work that requires a lot of labor, and the one with 21 borders on the body is actually produced only under very limited conditions, and it is a phantom item that is rarely seen even in the vintage market. It seems that it has become. There are various theories, but if you think about the background of the number of borders, you can feel the history of the border cut and sew that you always wear. Kanell has recreated a "true marine border" by fine-tuning the pitch of the border by making the best use of the characteristics of the knitting machine that it owns.

Ingenuity to wear it for a long time

If you've been using a cut-and-sew for a long time, you'll start to worry about your neck. Kanell's cut-and-sew has been devised 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 overlapping fabrics and sewing, making it difficult to stretch. It seems that the sewing method was created from many years of experience and technology in marine wear.

It uses a dense and sturdy fabric called VINTAGE JERSEY, and the most important feature of this fabric is its weight. More than 20% more cotton than the Basque shirt, which is generally called heavy weight, is tightly woven using a flat knitting machine. The knitted fabric is tightly knitted to the limit, and while it is heavy, it has a durable finish that combines the unique softness of a flat knitting machine. The more you wash it, the tighter the weave, and the more you wash it, the more it changes to a dry touch, which is full of the fun of aging.

It is a unisex item that can be used for a long time without being swept away by trends, regardless of gender or age.

Seeking the ideal marine wear

Brittany in northwestern France. Pierre Brest, a young man who lives there, worked as a salesman for several apparel manufacturers, and was loved by sailors at the time. I felt sexual. At the time, no one had commercialized the sweater.

While continuing his salesmanship, Pierre launched a private company called Kanell Industriel, purchased second-hand knitting machines from his acquaintance's factory, and started manufacturing them in-house. Through trial and error, the prototype of the model was born, with the details that have been handed down to this day. In 1923, he started his own brand Kanell. This was also the moment when Brittany's oldest marine border maker was born. After that, it grew to the extent that it even provided uniforms for the French army. Over time, various marine wear brands were born, and in 2020, we restarted to embody the ideal marine wear envisioned by Pierre.
