No. DF013 Sixteen years after its birth, this classic heather high-neck zip-up hoodie has been loved for many years. The fabric is a completely original heather back wool fabric. Using an old-fashioned hanging knitting machine, we selected from yarns, determined the number, set up the knitting, and made adjustments. It has an elegant knit-like texture and the best comfort. Our soft material, which was born as a kids brand, is unique, and we have a very high repeat rate from customers who have worn it once. 【Particular points】 ・ At first, it fits well, but as you wash it repeatedly, it loosens vertically and fits your body. The silhouette is slender and the hood is small, giving a neat impression when worn. ・The high neck design at the neck plays the role of a neck warmer by tightening the zipper in winter, and the soft cotton material wraps comfortably around the neck, keeping your body temperature warm and allowing you to feel the warmth unique to cotton. ・ It is a haori in spring and summer, and as an inner layer in autumn and winter, it is a useful item throughout the year. Regardless of age or gender, you can enjoy elegant casual in parent-child pairs and parent-child shares. [Thoughts on making clothes] DEVISE FACTORY's clothes are made with completely original recipes that combine the vintage of the 1950~60s with modern methods. Based on the experience of the co-founder, who is a former buyer of second-hand clothing, from vintage, the unique surface of old clothes, the way it rubs, the fading, and the unevenness of the yarn itself, which are no longer made in modern times, are reproduced by specifying the number and combination of uneven cotton yarns with unevenness, and knitting the fabric with an old-style knitting machine to recreate the unique atmosphere of that time. In addition, we use methods that are not often seen today, such as sturdiness and thickness of reinforcement because it was customary to use one thing for a long time. However, we are not trying to recreate everything that was done at that time. Even in modern things, we use parts that we think are better. For example, choose a double-opening type of fastener that has unbreakable reliability and convenience. As for the fabric setting, the vintage T-shirt fabric is thin, but I want to give it a more solid hand-held feeling, so I made it thicker. The elasticity should also be softer, and if washed, the stretch will return and the shape will remain stable. Vintage sweatshirts and hoodies don't stretch well and feel stiff, but at the Devices Factory, we wanted a more plump, soft texture. The back side is not brushed, and the loop is finished to keep it soft.　 In this way, the idea is not to completely reproduce the things of that time. While cherishing the good details and textures of the past, it is not too close to the era, and has the elegance and hand-knitting feel of a knit. [Thoughts on the production area] DEVISE FACTORY'S PRODUCTS ARE LABELED AS "MADE IN CHINA" AND "MADE IN JAPAN". The hanging knitting machine we use is an old machine from 100 years ago, and there are very few factories in Japan that are actually in operation. At the time of the establishment of the brand, I was looking for a production supplier, but I couldn't find one, and in the meantime, I met a factory in Shanghai, China, where I obtained an American hanging knitting machine at a discount, and I was able to ask for production. For more than 20 years since our founding, we have repeated development and have been able to finish it as a material to the present. NOT MADE IN CHINA FOR MASS PRODUCTION. MADE IN CHINA is the result of seeking technology using an old-fashioned hanging knitting machine (made in the USA). Currently, we use a hanging knitting machine made in the USA and a hanging knitting machine made in Japan separately according to the characteristics of the fabric, but we are not particular about the production area. "If I can make good clothes, I want to go anywhere in the world." We continue to pursue good clothes with the policy of =MADE BY ~, which is more comfortable to wear because it is a device factory than MADE IN ~ in the country of production.
