The charm of wool grown on harsh earth

Mongolian wool is wool grown in Mongolia, which has a dry climate with little precipitation, sometimes reaching temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius. In addition to its oily, moist texture, it also has a strength and beauty that cannot be found anywhere else, precisely because it was grown on such harsh soil. It has a thread structure similar to cashmere, and is light and soft. Compared to regular wool, the thread is finely curled and can contain more air inside, so it has excellent heat retention. . Also, many wool knits cannot be washed at home, but this Mongolian wool turtleneck sweater can be washed by hand, making it easy to care for.

The overall design has a loose silhouette, and the roughly woven knit fabric traps a lot of air inside to keep you warm. Low-gauge knits give the impression of being heavy, but FACTORY's Mongolian wool turtleneck sweater is relatively lighter than regular sweaters and can be worn in a relaxed manner, so it can be worn for long periods of time. The collar is high and gently hugs your neck. The width is roomy, so you can layer it with innerwear, making it a great piece to wear even in the freezing cold of midwinter.

A FACTORY that continues to make clothes with the desire to know what kind of people made the clothes in what kind of environment, and to continue to wear them with love. The clothes they create are all attractive because they are masterpieces that are imbued with an extraordinary passion for manufacturing.

A unique atmosphere created by your own hands

The brand's predecessor was a boutique that started in 1978. The company originally started as a store that sold purchased clothing, but in 1983 it changed its policy to manufacturing all products in-house, built a factory behind the store, and established the brand "FACTORY", which sells original wear. (Factory)" has started up.

The brand started with just a sewing machine, but one by one the number of associates increased, and as they continued to make clothes that matched the bodies of their customers, in 1990, they wanted to create products with even more originality and went overseas in search of materials. He started going to work there and even established a dyeing workshop. Although we are a small company, we continue to make clothes with particular attention to detail, and our current form of creation, in which we handle all planning, material development, manufacturing, and production ourselves, was born.

All of FACTORY's design patterns are created at a design atelier in Tokyo. Our staff, who have extensive experience in pattern making at collection brands, create all shapes using 3D cutting and repeat sample stitching over and over again to create a design that is comfortable to wear without being tied to trends, and is simple but comfortable to wear. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece of clothing that is a bit unique. The company's factory in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture creates clothes based on the patterns created. In addition to cutting and sewing, we also take care to dye our products and raw materials at our attached dyeing factory. This is a style of manufacturing that reflects the atmosphere of Ashikaga, a region historically known for its textile manufacturing, that is reflected in its clothes.
