KEPANI
KEPANI is a Japanese sweatshirt brand founded in 2006. It offers a range of products, including brushed sweatshirts, hoodies, jackets, gloves, and other accessories, all crafted from carefully selected yarns and production methods.
The Secret Behind Its Long-lasting Appeal
KEPANI's Raffy-brushed fabric is made from the leftover cotton of three of the world's most renowned luxury cottons: "Turfan Cotton," "Giza Cotton," and "Supima Cotton." This allows the fabric to maintain its natural softness even after repeated washes, ensuring that it retains its original feel for years.
Furthermore, by tumbling the woven fabric in a special process, KEPANI adds "shape retention" and "elasticity," ensuring that the garment doesn't lose its shape after washing and keeps its original form.
The "Lightness" Not Found in Loopwheel Machines
KEPANI is also characterized by its unique lightness, achieved without relying on machines and crafted entirely by skilled artisans. The fabric requires the delicate balance of temperature adjustments and minute adjustments to the fibers, a result of the artisans' skills, making each piece an exceptional creation.
Embrace Aging with Time
The distinctive melange texture changes over time, as black threads fade with each wash, adding character and uniqueness to each piece. The more you wear it, the more it develops into a one-of-a-kind garment full of charm.
Details that Blend Design and Practicality
The neckline is designed with the perfect opening to showcase a shirt collar neatly. Ribbed piping enhances the fit while adding a subtle accent to the overall design.
Additionally, the garment features warm pockets on the sides, combining both design and practicality in its details.
The buttons are made from cat-eye buttons, giving the piece a subtle vintage feel.
Adult's Clean Silhouette
The slim fit offers a sleek, tight silhouette, but the high elasticity ensures a comfortable fit with no stress.
Simply layering it over a shirt or T-shirt will give you a fresh new look, making it incredibly versatile and easy to style.

Staff comment
Here's the translated version of the provided text:|
● Staff (165cm/52kg) Body type: Slim Wearing: Size 1 I wore this over a lightweight shirt, and the fit was perfect. The armholes are slightly narrow, so it may feel a bit tight depending on the inner layer. The length is just above the hips. |
|
● Staff (171cm/61kg) Body type: Average Wearing: Size 2 The overall size is just right. It's fitted but doesn't feel tight. The silhouette is similar to the model image, and the fit looks clean. The arms and length are a bit tighter, so if you prefer a looser fit, you may want to size up. |
|
● Staff (177cm/67kg) Body type: Average Wearing: Size 3 It fit perfectly. The silhouette is as shown in the image, and it looks sleek. If wearing a black inner layer, be aware that lint may stick to it, so it's recommended to pair it with lighter-colored clothes. |
|
● Staff (181cm/80kg) Body type: Stocky Wearing: Size 4 The fit looks great, and the stretch is excellent, making it comfortable to wear. However, it became tight around the arms when worn over a shirt. It seems best paired with a thin T-shirt. The length was just above the hips. |
