“Corcoran”, which accounts for only 1-2% of the world’s finest “Supima cotton”

We chose “Corcoran cotton”, which has particularly long fibers, among “Supima cotton”, which is said to be the finest cotton in the world.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/190/40106-190-5d6011660ce057554fe305191280d717-900×1200.jpg This cotton is named after the Corcoran region of California, USA, which is a major cotton producing area. It is an extremely rare material that only accounts for 1-2% of Supima cotton. It has long fibers and its greatest appeal is its amazingly smooth feel, but it is also an excellent cotton with excellent strength. 2. The Italian Albini Group, with a history of about 150 years, produces special threads for Japanese people.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/190/40106-190-805d2a7e9646fdc11c24b8c7eddf26e2-900×675.jpg This extremely rare Corcoran cotton is further enhanced in the “spinning stage, where the yarn is twisted,” by “Iacottoni,” the spinning division of “Albini,” a long-established Italian fabric brand with a history of nearly 150 years. Utilizing their unique spinning techniques that have been cultivated over many years, this special yarn was developed to “resonate with the sensibilities of Japanese people, who are particular about manufacturing,” while retaining the soft texture that is typical of Italy. 3. A glossy finish that lets you know it’s high quality at a glance Elegant luster and cool to the touch ~ What about fading, wrinkles, and sweat stains? ~

In the production process of the fabric, stress on the yarn is minimized as much as possible. The luster and texture of Corcoran cotton are maximized. In addition, the “Royal Cool Processing” has succeeded in creating a silk-like moist feel, good color development, and a cool touch.

By removing as much of the “fuzz” as possible during the processing stage, the fabric has a very wavy, drape-like feel.

It is a comfortable fabric that is soft yet has a moderate firmness. In addition, Factelier’s unique 10-wash test showed that the navy color hardly faded and wrinkles were not noticeable. There were no problems with wrinkles even without ironing. *Please note that wrinkles and color fading may occur depending on the washing method. 4. Because it has a basic button-down collar, it can be worn alone or with a jacket.

It also goes perfectly with the luxurious feel of the fabric.
