KEPANI
A Japanese sweatshirt brand founded in 2006. Specializing in brushed fleece sweatshirts crafted with carefully selected yarns and methods, KEPANI offers a lineup that includes sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, and small accessories such as gloves.








The Lightness That Loom-Knitting Cannot Offer
Like loopwheel fabrics, each piece is not made entirely by machine but finished by skilled hands. Adjustments to tension with changes in temperature, or fine-tuning down to fractions of a millimeter of fluff, require craftsmanship and human touch—an uncompromising fabric born from meticulous expertise.

Supple Raffy Fabric With Gentle Softness
Raffy fabric is made using recycled yarn spun from extra-long staple cottons, Turfan and Giza American. The interplay of luster and irregularity within the black yarn produces a unique heathered look, creating depth and character.



Durable Four-Needle Stitching
The sewing construction uses the “four-needle stitch,” often seen in vintage sweatshirts. This ensures durability and strength, finished to perfection by Japanese artisans.

Aging Beautifully Over Time
As you continue to wear it, the black yarn gradually fades, creating a unique patina. The evolving heathered expression is one of the charms that makes this a piece to be worn and cherished for years.






Exceptional Stretch and a Clean Silhouette
A simple design that highlights the qualities of the material, paired with a streamlined silhouette. The raglan sleeve construction, together with the fabric’s natural stretch, ensures freedom of movement and a comfortable, stress-free fit.
