【About Chizimi Cotton】
・Chizimi cotton is a traditional cotton fabric produced in Takashima City, Shiga Prefecture since the Tenmei era of the Edo period. It is made using strongly twisted weft yarns, creating a distinctive textured and crisp surface.
・The textured surface reduces contact with the skin, allowing sweat to be absorbed at points and diffused across the fabric. The perceived temperature is said to be approximately 2°C lower.
・Excellent performance in sweat absorption, quick drying, air permeability, hygroscopicity, and moisture release.
・Chizimi cotton , nurtured by the natural environment of Lake Biwa, boasts the highest production volume in Japan.

【About Dyeing Chizimi Cotton】

When dyeing Chizimi cotton, the dye may not fully penetrate into the deeper creases of the fabric.

The circulor fabric used in this product has stretchability (elongation rate: approx. 120%), making it easy to move in and comfortable to wear.
