Once you wear them, you won't be able to stop

The material used is pique, which has been popular with Japanese people for a long time. The striped fabric has a fine uneven surface, and is characterized by its smooth texture and natural stretchability. Because it has a small surface area that touches the skin, it does not stick to the skin even in the sweaty season, and it has excellent sweat absorption and breathability.

Originally used for underwear and shorts, this material is made to make your daily life comfortable. The soft texture of natural materials makes it safe for those with sensitive skin.

The design of this high-quality fabric is what makes it appealing. The silhouette narrows smoothly towards the ankles, creating an exquisite balance that follows the lines of the body while not feeling cramped. It gently wraps around the ankles and subtly protects you from the cold air in the cold season. In addition, the deep rise covers the waist and stomach area well, making it a great way to protect yourself from air conditioning in the summer. There are pockets on both sides, which are convenient for storing your smartphone, keys, etc. There is also a hole for replacing the elastic at the waist, and it is a nice point that you can use it for a long time.

History of Kyo Chijimi

The history of Kyo Chijimi is very old, and in the Momoyama period, Ming (Chinese) weavers introduced hemp-based hemp chijimi, silk-based crepe, and cotton-based cotton chijimi to Japan.

It is a very light, thin, and stretchy natural fiber that is perfect for Japan's hot, humid, and muggy summers, and has sweat-absorbing, quick-drying, and cool properties. During the Edo period, it became popular mainly in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto, but at the time it was a luxury item with very little production and was rarely available to the general public. After the war, technological innovations during the high economic growth made mass production possible, and it became popular. Also, at the time, there were bleaching factories in Kyoto called Fushimi bleaching, so it was produced in Kyoto and known as Kyo Chijimi.

Knowing the past and connecting it to the present

Yamashiro, a Kyoto shrink weaving manufacturer that has been making shrink weaving for 60 years, has its own factory and is a manufacturer that produces 80% of domestic sutetecos in a one-stop production process.
In addition to the know-how it has cultivated over the years, such as thread count, number of twists, weaving and bleaching methods, it has developed Kyoto shrink weaving using a loom that is now the only one in the world, and its sewing technology is unique and continues to make sutetecos that are loved by many people, with a feeling that is said to be like wearing the wind. The sutetecos are carefully sewn one by one by skilled craftsmen, and are said to be made with a comfortable fit and customers who are happy.

Yamashiro is a long-established manufacturer that has adopted the concept of "Knowing the past and connecting it to the present," and is involved in product creation from scratch, checking the comfort of the products themselves, listening to customer feedback, proposing products that are truly needed, while also communicating the appeal of products that utilize inherited techniques to as many people as possible. With these efforts over the past 60 years, Yamashiro is a trusted manufacturer that has been selected as one of 96 creative industry model companies, an award given to companies that are working to innovate creative culture in Kyoto.
