A year ago, we started thinking about developing warm products using natural fibers. Fleece is now a typical item for fall and winter. Nowadays, “fleece” generally refers to a material made of woven polyester fibers that has been brushed, and is a wonderful product that is lightweight and retains heat. However, the word “fleece” originally means wool when translated into Japanese. In that case, we thought that it would be possible to create a natural material called “fleece” as part of the Washini brand’s commitment, and we set out to develop this new product. Exactly one year ago.

When you think about it in terms of apparel, you often end up only finding things that already exist. So, when I thought of a fleece-like fabric, the first thing that came to mind was a blanket. As the name suggests, “blanket” is wool cloth. When we think of blankets, we naturally think of them as something to cover ourselves with, but when we look into the history of blankets, we find that they were actually used as clothing. In order to create a fleece jacket using a light and warm blanket, we searched various blanket
manufacturers and found the perfect blanket to wear. Since then, for about a year, we have repeatedly created samples and arrived at this project.

It has long bristles and is soft to the touch. The material is 81% wool and 19% polyester. All pile (brushed) parts are made of wool. By using polyester only for the base fabric (core), it prevents the pile from falling out and gives the fabric strength and stiffness. It has an outstanding heat retention capacity of over 60%, which can be said to be the most desired feature in winter outerwear. In addition, wool has high heat retention properties, but it also has excellent moisture absorption and release properties, so you won’t get stuffy. Also, when you think of blankets, don’t you have an image of them being heavy? It is said that it is better to have a moderate weight for sleeping, but this time we wanted a blanket that was comfortable to wear, so we focused on a lightweight feel. (About 450g for product M size)

We took on the challenge at three factories in Japan, and finally reached the point where we could commercialize it at the third factory. It has a chest pocket that can fit a smartphone, large pockets on both sides, and is designed to double as an outerwear element. Isn’t it difficult to take care of because it uses over 80% wool? You may think so. Since this is a product that is meant to be worn outside, we have taken care to make it easy to care for. It can be washed in a household washing machine.

Japan has wonderful materials and technology. However, the reality is that the environment surrounding Japanese-made materials and Japanese sewing factories is extremely harsh. I believe that in order to overcome this problem, we must firmly communicate Japan’s still-unknown materials and techniques, and create new things that can only be made through Japanese manufacturing. We put a lot of thought into Washingi. By cooperating with material manufacturers, sub-material manufacturers, and sewing factories (spirit of harmony), and being particular about traditional Japanese materials and techniques (heart of Japan, spirit of harmony), we are able to provide comfort and comfort to our customers. Our goal is to create products that will make everyone feel at ease when they are involved with our products. I would be very happy if this project could serve as an opportunity for Japanese-made blankets to go beyond the realm of bedding and expand into apparel materials. ▽Washin online shop https://wagoromo.shop/ ▽Facebook page
