Clothing for running.

Good evening. This is cantáte Matsushima.

 

In the previous blog post, we wrote about recruiting sales staff.

If you love clothing, please feel free to get in touch.

 

Now, today’s topic is a little different.

In the world of cooking,

There are three periods: “early season,” “peak season,” and “lingering season.”


The early season, when you enjoy the beginning of a season a little early.

The peak season, when it tastes best.

and the lingering season that mourns the end of the season.


But when it comes to clothing,

I think there are only two times when it is right to wear them.

The early season and the peak season.


First comes the early season.


They are people who cannot wait for the seasons to change.


People who put away their winter clothes and start wearing spring clothes in January.

A slightly outrageous person who starts wearing cashmere knitwear in September.

That would be me.

 

If you know anyone that outrageous, let’s become friends.


That was a slight digression.


Next comes the peak season.


Wearing well-judged clothing at precisely the right time.

The temperature and atmosphere are just right, making this the most comfortable time to wear it.


And lingering.


This remains true even in March and April.

refers to people wearing down jackets.


We wear clothes for ourselves, but

At the same time, clothes are also worn for other people.


when walking around town,

is better than being thought, “Are you still wearing that?”

Being thought, “Are you already wearing that?”

the latter is overwhelmingly cooler.


to those reading this blog,

though I doubt anyone is like that,


If this sounds familiar,

It is 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.

It is made from first-grade flax grown in France’s Normandy region,

This is linen knitwear made with yarn spun using the wet-spun method.


Wet spinning involves spinning the fibers while adding moisture,

a method that aligns the fibers, controls fuzz, and achieves both strength and smoothness.

While retaining linen’s distinctive dry texture,

the resulting yarn also has the fullness and softness of knitwear.


Furthermore, 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 falls.

is a color that suits the atmosphere from spring through summer.


This linen knitwear, however,

it is somewhat out of the ordinary.


When you hear “linen knitwear,”

You might imagine something light, sheer, and breathable.


but this time, the opposite.


Luxuriously twisting ultra-thick French linen yarn,

it is tightly knitted in a 3G, low-gauge knit.


As a result,Each garment uses approximately 800 g of yarn.


but it is quite heavy for linen knitwear.


It feels substantial in your hands,

It feels surprisingly light when worn.


because it contains air within the knit.


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 so interesting.

Cotton and linen cardigans tend to have a front placket that falls straight when opened,

 

The ensemble is wonderful, too.

and the cardigan

The body is jersey-knit, while the collar is a full-needle tape,

with the knit changing by area: 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 structured to move three-dimensionally with the movement of the arms.

The sleeves fall naturally,


the lines follow the body.

Although it has a boxy silhouette,


Thanks to the substantial linen yarn, it falls vertically.


so it looks surprisingly streamlined when worn.

rather than a knit,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,


is tightly knitted in 3-gauge using extra-thick French linen.This piece, too,


is more than 800 g.

The yarn used in a typical linen knit


with none of the “light and flimsy” feeling.

It is a knit with a clear silhouette,

and changes in the knit structure allow the shape to emerge when worn.

creates a three-dimensional form,


along with the triangular underarm gussets,

the flat construction at the sleeve undersides,


When you move your arms,

the sleeves fall naturally, creating a balance that follows the body.


Rather than simply being an oversized knit,

It is designed to keep the visual center of gravity balanced.

And the dry texture of linen,

A substantial knit structure.


That balance

It pairs beautifully with the air from spring through summer.

These slacks are still wonderful, as ever, and I've been wearing them all along.
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 for December.

I wear spring clothes in January.


If you ask whether it is cold,

Of course, it is cold.


But clothes aren't worn only to maintain body temperature.


It is for the mood, too,

It is also something to wear when going out to meet the season a little early.


On days when the air is still cold,

I see someone walking around in a linen knit.


When I see people like that,

I think, “Ah, this person really loves clothes.”


Generally, with people like that,

I feel like we could become friends.

Those who met me in March will understand: a leather jacket with a linen ensemble,

Slacks or jeans.

I like it so much that I've been wearing the same thing all along.

 

A head-start piece for the season.


The seasons will come if you wait for them,

People who love clothes generally can't wait.


Worn just before spring arrives,

Just right.


I prefer people who go to meet someone rather than wait to be picked up.
