Cummerbund In Premium Material With Silk Facings, Gray

A luxurious cummerbund made with habutae silk, carefully woven by artisans with devotion 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 lapels of formal gentlemen’s wear such as tailcoats and tuxedos; its beautiful luster and smooth feel are proof of its authenticity.

*Bow ties are sold separately.

The habutae silk 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 that began in the Heian period. This land, where spring water from Mount Fuji flows, has the clean water required for good dyeing.
In the weaving process, Yamamoto’s mixed-weave habutae silk uses as many as 13,000 warp threads in a width of only 47 cm, and the weft uses 120 denier yarns doubled and twisted together to create an astonishingly thick 240 denier yarn.
By weaving slowly on shuttle looms, the fabric traps air and gains a three-dimensional texture, and artisans constantly inspect it for any defects. Dyeing, spinning, warp setting, and weaving are all carried out under strict quality control by artisans for our customers, with the aim of making the best possible products.
