Kobo Oriza is a studio that produces highly original shawls and scarves using traditional weaving machines. The shop is located in a quiet area surrounded by nature, deep in the mountains of Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, which faces the Seto Inland Sea.
Masatoshi Takeda, the representative of Kobo Oriza, is an engineer who used to be the factory manager of a towel manufacturer. As the towel industry declines year by year, he continues to produce comfortable fashion products on Kobo Oriza's old-fashioned looms.
The popular 8-way cap is now available in wool. A basic color lineup that is easy to incorporate into your outfit. |
Because it is woven in a tubular shape, it is gentle to wear and comfortable, with no stiff feeling from seams.
A wool blend "cotton cap" that can be freely changed in shape and color.
By mixing cotton with smooth, washable wool, this item is both warm and comfortable to wear, and feels good against the skin.
This product is woven using a method called multiple twill weave. Twill weave is a weave in which two or more warp or weft threads rise and fall continuously, creating a slanted line pattern. (This is a weaving method often used for jeans, etc.)
A multiple twill weave is a weaving technique in which two or more pieces of fabric are woven together as one by creating nodes in the twill weave. Compared to single twill weave, this type of weaving is softer and more voluminous.
A versatile item that is reversible and can be used in eight different ways. There are endless possibilities for arrangement depending on how you fold and wear it. |
While it has a classic beanie shape, you can also create a slightly different pattern by adjusting the length and thickness of the folded part and the fringe.
You can use it as a neck warmer when it's chilly, or wear it as a turban to help with your hair.
You can also arrange it to make the most of the short fringe. Recommended for men too.
Since it is a wool blend, it is more voluminous than the 100% cotton type.
The rustic look of the woven fabric is perfect for coordinating with natural outfits.
You can enjoy wearing it in eight different ways, making it a recommended item for when you want to change up your mood or expand your range of outfits.
Its basic and casual feel means it can be worn by both men and women, and it also makes a great accent piece for any outfit! You can wear it as a neck warmer by putting it over your head as a tube, or wrap it around your head like a turban, and everyone can enjoy it in their own way.
In addition, it is stretchy and fits the body well, so it can be worn by both children and adults. It is fun to find your own original style with arrangements that tickle the fashion sense of a wide range of generations.
Of course, it's great for yourself, but it also makes a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Respect for the Aged Day, Valentine's Day, White Day, Christmas, or a 60th birthday celebration.
