KEPANI
A Japanese sweatshirt brand founded in 2006. The brand's main products are back-filled sweatshirts, sweatshirt parkas, jackets, gloves, and other small items made from sweatshirt fabrics.








The "lightness" not found in hang knitting machines is the key
As with hang knitting fabric, all the work is not done by machine, but by the hands of craftsmen.

Adjustments are made according to changes in temperature, and the fluff is adjusted to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Soft Raffy fabric that does not lose its suppleness
Raffy fabric is a fabric made from recycled yarn blended from super-long row cotton (Trufant) and fallen cotton from Giza America. It is characterized by a unique wooden texture created by giving the black yarn a "glossy" and "uneven" look.



Adoption of tough 4-needle stitch
The sewing uses "4-needle stitching", which is often seen in vintage sweatshirts. It has a toughness and is finished firmly and sturdily by Japanese craftsmen.

You can also enjoy the color change over time
One of the points to keep wearing it for a long time is that the black threads will lose their color as you continue to wear it and it will change over time. You can enjoy the wooden pattern that will increase in texture.






Excellent elasticity and clean silhouette
Simple design and clean silhouette that takes advantage of the material's characteristics. The raglan sleeve design allows for easy movement in addition to the elasticity of the fabric. You will experience a comfortable, stress-free fit.
