Clothes that can't be conveyed just by looking / KIMURA

What do you consider when choosing or purchasing clothes?
The premise is that men and women are completely different.

Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is the design of the clothes themselves, right?
If you don't like the design or it's something you can't possibly wear, you probably won't want it, right?

I think this is something that can be said not just about clothes but about most things in general.
The important thing is what comes next.
It's often said that this is something that only men have, but I personally think it would be great if women could also take these details into consideration when choosing their clothes.
The design is a matter of personal preference and not everyone will like it.
So what is it about it that makes so many people feel comfortable trying it on or buying it?
Are the quality aspects and the designer's commitment and intent reflected in the product?
Are they reflected and yet hidden brilliantly in the clothes?
(I don't like designs that are completely visible lol)
This is just my subjective opinion, and it's not necessarily the correct answer.

Well, if I continue like this, the story will end up being just a prelude, so...
This time, we'll be talking about clothes in which the maker's intentions are reflected in the detailed, advanced techniques and gimmicks that are sprinkled throughout the garments.

The KIMURA shirts, which we also stock in our store, are also known as madness shirts.

Well, you can't really understand the insane craftsmanship of this brand unless you see it in person.
This cardigan-style shirt was designed by the designer, Kimura, who loves knitwear, and was based on the concept of making knitwear from woven fabric.
This is a stunning reproduction of a completely different approach to knitting and sewing.

When knitting the collar, I used a technique called decrease, and by removing darts I made the decrease look like a real knit decrease.
The arm pattern is also not on a shirt.
It's now knitted.

There are also other things like pattern matching, sewing stitches, stitch work, and so on, and the list goes on and on.
Each and every one of them is a work of mad craftsmanship.
And as expected, you can't really tell from a photo lol.
It's hard to understand unless I explain it to you while showing you the real thing and share the madness with you.
Well, what do you think?
If you want to see the madness for yourself, please come to the store and try it on.

These clothes go beyond just design to bring satisfaction to the wearer and remind them of the joy of wearing clothes.
Just good quality clothes made by artisan artists.
