Hello. This is Kayaba from the ApparelX Division.
Today, we would like to introduce a new manufacturer featured on ApparelX.
Since our founding in 1949, we have been a textile manufacturer that plans, manufactures and sells carefully selected Corduroy-ten and velveteen made in the Enshu region located in the western part of Shizuoka Prefecture. The quality of our products is the result of technology that has been passed down over a long period of time. Please feel the goodness of the material that can only be brought out using traditional manufacturing methods. - Quoted from https://kumoibeauty.com .
Chubu Velveteen Corduroy's website provides videos of the actual production process.
It's a short video, but it's interesting because you can see the machine in action, so please check it out here if you'd like.
As introduced on this production process page, the major difference between overseas corduroy textile is the dehairing process (rubbing with water to create fluff); overseas corduroys do not have this process and are pile-free. After the cutting process, we move on to the burning process and then the dyeing process.
By massaging the hair during the dehairing process, it seems to improve the fluff and give it a softer texture.
In contrast, overseas corduroy textile are harder to the touch and seem to have a fair amount of fuzz.
The production technology for corduroy made in this Enshu production area is not imported from overseas, but has been developed uniquely in Japan, so we hope you will use our corduroy textile made in Japan.
Among corduroys, especially narrow ridges, thin thread are used, and narrow ridges require more technical skill than thick ridges.
First of all, I would like to pick up some of these narrow ridges.
Narrow ridges are thin textile, and some textile are suitable for spring and summer.
It has quite narrow ridges and has been processed with a special washer processing process, giving it a softer texture.
31W has top class fine ridges. Made of polyester/cotton/rayon/polyurethane, it has a soft texture while maintaining strength.
A thin corduroy suitable for spring and summer. The colors are soft and bright.
Next, I will introduce some of my personal favorites from the Decolore series.
This series creates a random uneven pattern by applying pressure to a part of the textile to prevent the bleach from seeping into the textile.
