Brooklyn / Hooded Sweatshirt Vest

The best of the best, made on old-style knitting machines still existing in Wakayama Prefecture.

The reason why we stick to the old style sinker knitting machine

KEPANI's signature Raffy lining is the key to its comfort.

The secret to its comfort lies in the way it is processed.

Laffy itself is made by twisting long fibres of cotton, so it retains its natural suppleness even after repeated washing. The fabric is then tumbled to reduce its fluffiness, giving it a "re-formability" and "elasticity" that allows it to return to its original shape after each wash without losing its shape.

Laffy itself is made by twisting long cotton fibres, so it retains its original suppleness even after repeated washing. This is the characteristic of this yarn.

The vintage detailing of the needle stitching and the long, wide ribbed ribbing give the sweatshirt a great feel, and the black threads of the KEPANI sweatshirt will age well as the colour fades and the texture becomes more textured. The black yarns of the KEPANI sweatshirt will lose their colour and show a good ageing effect.

The fabric has a warm, brushed back and is moderately thick, but has a clean, slim silhouette. The fabric is soft and fluffy to the touch.
