Over the last half century, they’ve staked out an indisputable niche as the country’s most advanced maker of performance sportswear, designing and manufacturing an impressive roster of highly coveted Japan-only exclusives for big players like Champion, Ellesse and The North Face. By melding a level of detail usually only seen in Japanese fashion with timeless silhouettes, innovative materials, and incredibly precise construction, their apparel became some of the world’s first, and finest, technical sportswear, and they’ve scrupulously maintained pace ever since. Precisely crafted to deliver maximum “kigokochi” (ease of wear) with a minimum of extraneous flourish, these garments are all about the details.
