Our staple item T-shirt that can be worn as one piece in the summer or as an inner depending on the season.

I want to choose now as an adult

A unisex crew neck short sleeve T-shirt with a clean design. One piece that can be worn not only as underwear but also as relaxing wear, and it feels very comfortable.
This T-shirt feels good because it is a fabric called Smile cotton, which is made with care and time at a knitting factory that is familiar with yarn. Generally, yarn is made by twisting cotton fibers. Smile cotton creates a soft and light texture like "cotton" by returning this twist and creating an air layer between the fibers.

What is Smile cotton?

Katayama Knitting Co., Ltd., located in Mie Prefecture, was born over 20 years in order to make cashmere-like fabrics with cotton.
Fabrics that make use of the goodness of the materials, which are unique to the factory that has continued to make fabrics, are made with the utmost effort and without the need for extraneous materials, seeking kindness to the skin. Smile cotton is a factory brand that continues to create wear that will make your skin glow as you wear it.

Cotton wear that makes your skin happy

The softness, lightness, and heat retention of Smile cotton
[Softness] Since the thread itself is returned to "cotton", clothes using smile cotton do not become hard after washing.

[Lightness] When the yarn is twisted back, there is air between the fibers that can not be considered as a normal manufacturing method, and soft comfort is achieved. In addition, by containing air between the fibers, both water absorption and dryness are achieved. Compared to common domestic cotton, it has a higher transpiration of moisture and is easier to dry. Smile cotton is a material that dries in about an hour on a sunny day. (May vary depending on the season and weather conditions.)

[Warmness] Smile cotton has higher heat retention than ordinary cotton materials and has a low heat absorption rate (it is hard to cool when worn), so it is warm in winter and hard to cool down.

It is a characteristic of smile cotton that it can maintain softness even after repeated washing, but in order to maintain a melting feel, turn it inside out and put it in the washing net.
The logo on the hem, which is also a point, is sewn with sewn embroidery. Unlike the direct embroidery, no embroidery marks appear on the back, so the embroidery sewn marks do not touch the skin. Since air is contained between the fibers, it is soft and light and feels like marshmallow. Made from the same fabric as your baby's underwear, this T-shirt makes you feel kinder just by wearing it.

It's a special kind of cotton that makes you want to cheek and smile just when you touch it and wear it.
