This T-shirt perfectly balances luxury and comfort, using the
ultra-high-performance wool yarn “NIKKE AXIO(R)”, which is also used for spacecraft clothing. This material has hardly been used in fashion items until now, but we have made it into a T-shirt that looks great on its own or as an inner layer under a jacket. Product

It won’t shrink at all, but it won’t shrink as much as cotton. Image

The best of wool and synthetic fibers Miracle patented thread “AXIO(R)”
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-cc1ba95a0fd6e6694552a221b4a6a121-900×734.jpg The biggest feature is the thread. We use the patented thread “NIKKE AXIO(R)” which is a blend of about 50% wool and 50% polyester. ■ Wool is the perfect material for summer 19.5 microns, no itchiness Image

https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-1d2b89859044ebc49374ba947eae4068-900×820.jpg Wool is called a “breathing fiber” and its temperature control function is a natural air conditioner. It is a highly functional natural fiber that is cool in the summer and warm in the winter. It is an excellent material that makes people who know its comfort think “I want to wear wool 365 days a year!” This time, we used 19.5 micron fine merino wool to reduce the prickly feeling that is characteristic of wool. It is safe to wear on bare skin. ■Overcoming the weaknesses of wool
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-2a392eb053c34a9c29b5db946700308b-900×801.jpg On the other hand, wool has some weaknesses: “wool repels water and does not absorb sweat well” “is difficult to dry” “it becomes fuzzy”
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-e9ff9ffdad4300f655215e45cccbf265-900×477.jpg NIKKE AXIO(R) overcomes this weakness, which is why it is called the “miracle thread.” There are many yarns in the world that are made by twisting wool and polyester, but the difference with AXIO(R) is as shown in the figure above. It is common to wrap polyester filament yarn around the “outside” of wool. On the other hand, AXIO(R) wraps polyester around the “inside” of wool and twists it. Since the polyester is not exposed on the surface of the thread, the feel and texture of wool remain the same. Combined with the moisture
absorption, quick-drying, and durability of polyester, a thread that overturns the common sense of wool has been completed. ■Also used for JAXA’s spacecraft inner clothing
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-230c1a38adb57f5cd1f1ed5b4405899b-900×916.jpg Space suit developed using AXIO(R) meets the strict requirements of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) and is certified as suitable for use on the International Space Station (ISS). AXIO(R) is such a highly functional material. Materials that meet the functionality and reliability required in the extreme environment of space support your daily life. 2. Fashion T-shirts use special fabrics that are rarely available.

environments such as mountain climbing and trail running.
Therefore,sports and outdoor brands are using it as “sports T-shirts” and innerwear. However, it is rarely available as a fashion T-shirt like this one. The comfort of high-performance sportswear is incorporated into everyday wear. 3. Be elegant in any situation. The shine and drape will elevate your everyday wear
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-3282c0e98e69d230b20dcc987716a646-900×1094.jpg “T-shirts are comfortable, but too casual.” “I want a high-quality T-shirt that I can wear both on and off the job.” The “AXIO T-shirt” from Factelier is a piece that will make that wish come true.

The extremely delicate 19.5 micron fine merino wool is carefully finished in Oshu to create a beautiful sheen and flowing drape like silk.

With just this one piece, you can spend less time worrying about what to wear and make a smart impression anywhere. 4. Doesn’t feel sticky even when you sweat. A comfortable, smooth feel even in midsummer
Summer in Japan is hot and humid and uncomfortable. When you sweat, regular T-shirts tend to stick to your skin and become sticky. However, the “AXIO T-shirt” is different. In addition to the soft feel of high-quality fine merino wool, the unique filament structure of “NIKKE AXIO(R)” achieves amazing moisture absorption and quick drying.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-44ce4b1d8332ddbf2b41251e5ea325e7-900×1089.jpg Even if you sweat, it quickly absorbs and releases it, and you can feel smooth and dry all day long, as if you were wearing nothing. This T-shirt will make you surprisingly comfortable, whether it’s a humid day during the rainy season or the sweltering heat of midsummer. You’ll be free from the discomfort of sweat and stay fresh at all times. 5. It won’t wear out no matter how many times you wear it. Keep your beauty for longer
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-de44190c159fccc86ce973e7a00f10b9-900×600.jpg “Your favorite T-shirt looks nice when you first buy it, but after wearing it a few times and washing it, the neck area becomes wrinkled.” Have you ever had that experience? With the “AXIO T-shirt,” you don’t have to worry about that. “NIKKE AXIO(R)” is not just a high-performance material. While maintaining the suppleness of fine merino wool, the special filament structurerealizes excellent strength and shape retention that is resistant to friction and pulling.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-0513510ffdd40c9e04e4a2b90989592d-900×927.jpg It is resistant to deformation even after repeated washing, and it is especially effective in preventing sagging around the neck and cuffs, which can be said to be the “face” of the T-shirt. It keeps a beautiful silhouette like a new one for a long time. It is not influenced by trends and can be used as a classic for a long time.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-b46e46d677b86a31640d53a9fdac3921-900×1154.jpg ▲Comparison results of “NIKKE AXIO(R)” and “100% Wool (shrink-proof) material” after 5 hours of testing. It is also less likely to pill and lasts longer. 6. A great ally for business trips and travel. Reduces the amount of luggage you have to carry And you don’t have to worry about odors
▲Ammonia water is deodorized by wool and turns colorless. In this way, wool absorbs the ammonia odor and becomes odorless, so no odor remains. “I don’t want to do more laundry at the hotel on my business trip.” “I want to wear it many times during my trip, but I’m worried about the smell.” This will solve such problems.
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-21c584bb8d8540d55bfb8b26e7dc9372-900×1427.jpg “NIKKE AXIO(R)” has excellent natural antibacterial and deodorizing effects of rare fine merino wool. In addition, its high moisture absorption and quick-drying properties allow it to dry quickly even if it gets wet with sweat or rain, suppressing the growth of germs. Therefore, it is difficult to be bothered by sweat odor even if you wear it every day, and it is ideal for business trips and travels where you want to reduce the number of clothes you change, or after a little exercise. You will be freed from the hassle of looking for a laundromat at your travel destination and the weight of your luggage, so your footwork will be lighter. 7. Simple yet designed with care
https://prcdn.freetls.fastly.net/release_image/40106/203/40106-203-8ed980bae523e52062089a4f99053367-900×944.jpg The “AXIO T-shirt” pursues a simple and sophisticated design that blends into everyday life while making the most of the characteristics of high-performance materials. There are subtle slits on the sides, making it a great match with pants. It gives an urban and modern impression, taking your outfit to the next level. The pattern design pays attention to every detail, bringing out the best in the wearer. 8. “It’s a favorite of all our employees” Message from the factory
