New classic knit

Speaking of winter clothes, wool knit. This time from FACTORY (factory), we received a sweater that you want to make this winter classic that combines warmth and lightness. The material used is “Yakwool”, which is as warm and light as cashmere. Knit that feels soft and fluffy and yet light is recommended for those who feel that they are not good at wool.

Color, shape and feel. When we pick up a piece of clothing, why do we choose it as a favorite piece of clothing? Looking back on the act of wearing clothes, the process of creating each piece of clothing has a number of backgrounds: first of all, the shape is determined, the colors are narrowed down, and the materials are selected. If you were able to make things without compromising on all of them, you could call it one and only clothes.

The FACTORY (factory) clothes we introduce are all gems that stick to every process of making such clothes. Even if you don't speak in words, it's strange that the shape, the color, and the touch feel that everything is meaningful.

Using yak hair that has survived the cold

This sweater uses yak hair that grows in the cold in the Bayanhongor region of Mongolia. This yak hair is a rare one that can only collect 20kg from 100kg of raw hair. It is a material that has both unique elasticity and softness. Yak's hair, a kind of cattle that inhabits highlands such as Tibet and Mongolia, is a high-quality material comparable to cashmere. . The brand FACTORY has made its own factory in Mongolia for knit production, and obtained good yarn over time, conducting its own strict sorting and carding.

Yak V-neck sweater is a V-neck knit with plenty of yak yarn. Although it has a reasonable space, it is easy to incorporate the small V-neck into those who usually choose a crew neck or a turtleneck. For the color, we prepared GRAY, which selected only the pale color of the yak's raw hair as much as possible, and soft BROWN. One of the attractive colors that make use of the material.

A unique atmosphere created by one's own hands

The predecessor of the brand is a boutique that started in 1978. Originally, it started from a store that sells purchased clothes, but in 1983 it changed to a policy of manufacturing all products in-house, and a brand “FACTORY” that developed a factory behind the store and developed original clothing (Factory) ”was launched.

A brand that started with a single sewing machine, and one more person and more friends, and in 1990, while continuing to create clothes that match the body of customers, in order to create more original manufacturing, in search of materials, overseas It seems that he went out and established a dyeing workshop. We continued to make clothes that were small but particular, and a form of creation was born where all the current planning, material development, manufacturing and production were handled by ourselves.

All of the FACTORY design patterns are created in the Tokyo design atelier. All the staff who have accumulated experience with collection brands and repeated pattern making practice made shapes by draping and repeated sample sewing many times, so it is `` not trendy, comfortable to wear '', `` simple, Unique clothing such as “a little unique” will be finished. Our factory in Ashikaga City, Tochigi Prefecture, creates clothes based on the patterns created. Not only cutting and sewing, but also the “dyeing” of products and raw materials at the attached dyeing factory. The manufacturing style of Ashikaga, the historical atmosphere of the fabric manufacturing industry, appears in clothes.
