Running clothes.
Good evening. This is Matsushima from cantáte.
In the previous blog post, I wrote about recruiting sales staff.
If you love clothing, please get in touch.
Today, let’s talk about something a little different.
In the world of cooking,
There are three periods: “early season,” “peak season,” and “lingering season.”
The early season, enjoying the beginning of the season a little early.
The peak season, when it tastes best.
and the lingering end, mourning the passing of the season.
But when it comes to clothing,
I think there are only two times when it is appropriate to wear things ahead of schedule.

The early season and the peak season.
First comes the early season.
Those who eagerly await the changing of the seasons.
People who put away their winter clothes and start wearing spring clothes in January.
The slightly reckless person who starts wearing cashmere knitwear in September.
That would be me.
If you know anyone that reckless, let’s become friends.
I’ve digressed a little.
Next comes the season’s peak.
Wearing the right clothes at just the right time.
The temperature and atmosphere are just right, making this the most comfortable time to wear it.
and the lingering end of the season.
Even in March and April,
but I’m talking about people wearing down jackets.
We wear clothes for ourselves,
At the same time, clothing is also something we wear for other people.
when walking through town,
is much better than being thought, “Are you still wearing that?”
Being thought, “Are you already wearing that?”
the latter is overwhelmingly cooler.
for those reading this blog,
though I doubt there are people like that,
If any of this sounds familiar,
It is about time to start wearing spring clothes.
Now, today’s topic is
clothing for getting a head start on the season.
For those who cannot wait for spring,
It is linen knitwear.

The raw material is first-grade flax from Normandy, France,
This linen knitwear uses yarn spun using the wet-spun method.
Wet spinning involves spinning the fibers while adding moisture,
it is a method that aligns the fibers, controls fuzz, and achieves both strength and smoothness.

While retaining linen’s distinctive dry texture,
the yarn also has the fullness and softness characteristic of knitwear.
Furthermore, this time, through our original twisting and dyeing processes,
We brought out the natural color of the yarn itself.
Linen colors have a subtly dry depth to them.
Its appearance gradually changes depending on how the light hits it.

comes in colors that pair beautifully with the atmosphere of spring and summer.
However, this linen knitwear
it is somewhat unconventional.
When you hear “linen knitwear,”
You probably imagine something light, sheer, and breathable.
but this time, the opposite.
Luxuriously twisted from extra-thick French linen,
it is tightly knitted in a firm 3G gauge.
As a result,Each garment uses approximately 800 g of yarn.
but it is exceptionally heavy for linen knitwear.
It feels substantial when held,
When you wear it, it feels surprisingly light.
because the knit fabric holds air within it.
It is thanks to this weight
Although it is knitwear, it has a presence reminiscent of a jacket.
リネンなのに軽すぎない。
It is linen, yet not too light.




and that is what makes this knit interesting.
When cotton or linen cardigans are opened, the front placket falls straight down,
the ensemble is wonderful too.
As for the cardigan,
The body is jersey-knit, while the collar uses a fully-fashioned tape,

with different stitches used throughout: ribbing at the cuffs, hem, and pocket openings.
Each knit structure has its own role,
creating the overall silhouette.
Triangular gussets are inserted under the arms,

and are constructed to move three-dimensionally with the movement of your arms.
The sleeves fall naturally,
the lines follow the body.
Although it has a boxy silhouette,
Thanks to the substantial amount of linen yarn, it falls vertically.
so it looks surprisingly streamlined when worn.
rather than knitwear,It feels like a lightweight jacket




It is.
and the shoulder line visible from this angle is irresistible.
The pullover is made in the same way,
it is densely knitted in 3-gauge using extra-thick French linen.This one does too:
uses more than 800 g of yarn.
Typical linen knitwear
with no sense of being "light and flimsy."
It has a well-defined silhouette,

and changes in the knit structure give it shape when worn.
three-dimensional form are created,
the triangular underarm gussets and
With the flat construction under the sleeves,
When you move your arms,
the sleeves fall naturally, creating a balance that follows the body.
Rather than being merely an oversized knit,
It is designed to create a balanced center of gravity.

And the dry texture of linen,
A substantial knitted fabric.
That balance
It goes perfectly with the atmosphere from spring through summer.

These slacks are still as wonderful as ever, and I've been wearing them nonstop too.
Thankfully, it has continued to sell well.
If you're interested, take a look at the blog too.
The seasons will come if you wait for them.
But I don't wait.
Winter clothes are only for December.
I wear spring clothes once January arrives.
If you ask whether it's cold,
Of course it's cold.
but clothes aren't worn solely to regulate body temperature.
It's for the mood, too,
It's also something for going out to meet the season a little early.
On days when the air is still cold,
Some people walk around wearing linen knitwear.
When I see people like that,
"Ah, this person must really love clothes."
Generally, with people like that,
I feel like we could become friends.

Those who met me in March probably know, but I was wearing a leather jacket with a linen ensemble,
Slacks or jeans.
I like it so much that I've been wearing the same outfit nonstop.
Clothes for the early days of the season.
The seasons will come if you wait for them,
People who love clothes generally can't wait.
The kind you wear before spring arrives,
Just right.
I prefer people who go to meet others rather than wait to be picked up.
