Kepani Pocketed Military Hoodie Maui Men's & Women's [KP2602MT] Made in Japan Sweatshirt Brand

Kepani is a sweatshirt brand that handles every step of the process in Japan, from yarn production to fabric knitting, fabric processing, and sewing. Since its founding in 2006, it has mainly offered brushed-back sweatshirts, hoodies, tops, and small items such as gloves and hats made from carefully selected yarns and manufacturing methods.

Kepani sweatshirt items take shape through the thoughts and dedication of their makers as they travel to factories across Japan. The yarn is spun in Osaka, the sweatshirt fabric is knitted in Wakayama, the brushed-back processing is applied in Mie, and each piece is carefully finished at Japanese sewing factories.

With a lightweight feel that gently wraps around the body, a sophisticated silhouette unaffected by trends, and excellent durability, Kepani sweatshirt items embody the techniques and history of Japanese garment making, as well as the passion of the artisans involved.

The yarn that marks the beginning of Kepani is popular raffy yarn, a pioneer in vintage and recycling.
At a long-established textile factory in Osaka, it is spun together with long-staple Torfan cotton and short-fiber Giza American cotton waste, resulting in a soft yarn with a natural, uneven texture.

The raffy yarn born in Osaka is knitted into sweatshirt fabric in Wakayama, one of Japan's leading merino knitting regions. The sinker knitting machines are finely adjusted to reproduce a texture close to fabric knitted on traditional loop knitting machines. The sweatshirt fabric, knitted loosely yet precisely, is highly flexible and stretchy, and its ability to resist losing its shape is a major feature.

The sweatshirt fabric knitted in Wakayama undergoes a brushed-back processing on the inner side of the fabric at a processing factory in Mie. Through the special processing techniques of artisans, the natural softness of the cotton is maximized, achieving excellent moisture retention and a sensation that gently blends with the skin.
