Cummerbund With Premium Silk Facing, Off-white

A luxurious cummerbund made with haishiken fabric, carefully woven by artisans with heartfelt craftsmanship using traditional methods in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, one of Japan’s leading silk textile producing regions.
It uses a high-grade silk fabric used for the collars of formal menswear such as tailcoats and tuxedos, and its beautiful sheen and smooth texture are proof of its authenticity.
* The bow tie is sold separately.

The haishiken fabric used is woven in a small textile workshop in Fujiyoshida, Yamanashi Prefecture, one of Japan’s leading silk fabric producing regions. Fujiyoshida is a historic production area with a history dating back to the Heian period. This land, where spring water from Mt. Fuji emerges, is supplied with the clean water essential for good dyeing.
In the weaving process, Yamamoto’s mixed-weave haishiken fabric uses as many as 13,000 warp threads in a width of just 47 cm, and the weft uses 120-denier yarn twisted double to create an astonishingly thick 240-denier yarn.
Slow weaving on shuttle looms traps air in the fabric, creating a three-dimensional texture, and artisans constantly inspect it for any defects. Each step of dyeing, silk reeling, warping, and weaving is carried out by artisans under strict quality control, to create the best possible product for our customers.
