Matsubara Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer that focuses on developing functional materials centered on stretch materials, and handles planning and sales.
It mainly offers woven and knitted stretch materials with a wide range of functions, and
covers everything from lightweight shirts and blouses to heavier coats,
with a broad product lineup.
They thoroughly research the market and also analyze everything from “materials that sell online” to “materials that sell in stores.” They never compromise in their research, day after day!
We were given many recommended products by the manufacturer’s representative, so here are a few along with the points they recommend.
A 100% polyester material that combines a cotton-like feel with stretch and easy-care performance!
It can be used for casual items, as well as jackets and sets.
Once made into a product, it looks cooler than you might expect—its appeal becomes clear when you actually use it.
A high-spec melange synthetic material made with TORAY’s “Cool Motion®,” featuring a smooth, cool touch.
A long-time popular product, especially for spring and summer, its unique functionality and comfort make it truly an irreplaceable material.
In addition to refreshing colors, it also comes in standard navy blue, black, and melange colors!
Also recommended for SS, this high-performance twill tricot material achieves excellent quick-drying moisture absorption and a cool touch.
It uses TORAY’s nylon microfibers “BODYCOOL®EX” to create a high-function twill tricot material.
It has a pleasant feel that does not cling to the skin, making it ideal for the hot summer months.
With a silk-like premium texture, it can be used not only for sports and uniform items, but also for jackets and pants.
A synthetic material with a silk-wool look, featuring vivid color development, beautiful luster and drape, and a full-bodied feel.
C/#SBKG Super Black is a particularly deep black with excellent color payoff, giving it a luxurious look and making it popular!
Its strong rebound is a key feature, making it resistant to wrinkling, and it can be used for jackets, sets, and T-shirts as well.
This is Matsubara’s standard, a long-selling material that is something of a signature item.
Although it is woven fabric, it has stretch like knit fabric.
It also offers high functionality such as quick-drying moisture absorption, and has a dry touch—truly a textile you’ll want to wear.
This time, we introduced Matsubara’s functional stretch materials.
